Hot off the back of rumours that the iPhone 7 will have a dual camera, Chinese manufacturer Huawei has revealed its new flagship handset, complete with the setup.

The P9 comes in two sizes: a standard, featuring a 5.2ins IPS LCD display with a pixel density of 423ppi, and Plus, which scales up to 5.5ins with a super AMOLED screen. The bigger phone also gets another display related perk – Press Touch, which mimics the iPhone 6S's 3D touch capabilities.
