Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei launched Thursday its new dual-lens P9 smartphone in Costa Rica for the Latin American market.

 

中国通讯行业巨头华为周四在哥斯达黎加发布其双镜头P9智能手机。

 

Huawei unveiled its new P9 at a shopping center in west San Jose, where potential buyers and the press also got a chance to view an exhibit of photographs taken with the smartphone's innovative¹ Leica-made camera.

 

"Most people use their phone as a camera, that's why we developed the Huawei P9, a high-performance smartphone with cutting-edge technology and outstanding design," Andrea Corrales of Huawei Costa Rica said at the event, according to the daily La Nacion. 

 

Huawei's partnership² with German firm Leica has created a smartphone with a groundbreaking dual-lens camera that can shoot vivid color and crisp black-and-white to produce images with greater depth and clarity.

 

Costa Rican photographer Cristian Sanchez, who has gone on assignments for National Geographic³, was tasked with capturing the country's famed wildlife and natural landscapes for the exhibit. 

 

Huawei hopes to replicate⁴ in Costa Rica and Latin America in general the success of the P9, which runs on the latest Andoid operating system, Marchmallow 6.0., has had in other markets.
