Many of the latest high-end smartphones and phablets are featuring dual-lens cameras these days, but the Huawei Mate 9 looks like it may be going one step further.<\/p>\n

Firstly, the Mate 9 is getting a megapixel boost to feature a 20MP front facing camera and a 12MP rear facing camera. This is an upgrade from the 8MP front facing camera used in other Huawei devices such as the Huawei P9.<\/p>\n

Another big rumour is that the Huawei Mate 9 camera will feature a 4X optical zoom; that’s double the zoom capability of other high-end smartphones like the iPhone 7 which only features a 2X zoom.<\/p>\n
