Today we had the presentation of one of the Android smartphones of the year with the Huawei P9 to which you will be accompanied with the P9 Plus. A terminal that follows almost the same as what happened with the Huawei P8, but that is updated in the hardware. The Chinese manufacturer has not risked much and knows that by launching some novelties such as that dual rear camera, it will satisfy all its followers who in recent years have allowed it to become the third largest manufacturer of smartphones on the planet.
Now it remains to put it face to face with the Samsung Galaxy S7, the flagship of the Korean manufacturer that has taken the best of the S5, in terms of the microSD card and water resistance, and of the S6, in relation to the change in design and that edge version that has led a step forward after all those editions past. A Galaxy S7 that we place in front of the new Huawei P9 as the two phones that will take part of the Android sales for this year.

Summary: We are facing a phone that adds the best of the Galaxy S5, with its water resistance and support for microSD cards, and the Galaxy S6, with that special design in the edge version. |
We before two brown beasts as one could say and difficult is the choice made. Although the Huawei P9 starts with an advantage in the price and by offering a combo of two lenses on the back that distinguishes it from the S7. The Galaxy S7 is the culmination of the S5 and S6 and possibly this is its greatest virtue, since we are possibly facing one of the best high-end that has been launched on Android.
In design they both have high sights and in the photography, waiting to have sample photos taken with the P9, they will not go very far, although at the moment the one that has taken the initiative is the Galaxy S7. Possibly choosing between one and the other is a matter of tastes and colors, and here it is a matter of each one. Huawei has been pushing very hard and this is because it has managed to find the right key in these two years. On the other hand, Samsung comes from having a bad time in relation to the sales of its high-end in these past two years.
We could call him like a big train wreck. Depending on our needs, we can choose to save about a hundred euros in the P9 to obtain a great performance in every way for what is an Android phone. And if we don't mind spending that difference in price, the Galaxy S7 has the upper hand.
We have put the specifications on the table and some other opinion about what each of these phones can give us. The Galaxy S7 has mixed opinions about a mere update for some and for others as the perfect combination of the two previous editions. The Huawei P9 arrives with the strength of having the Chinese manufacturer that is making it more and more difficult for the competition.
