The camera setup also includes a 4-1 Hybrid auto-focus feature. This\u00a0consists of laser focus, phase detection focus, depth focus, and contrast focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/compareguru.co.za\/huawei-reveals-the-mate-9\/?utm_source=PriceCheck&amp;utm_medium=Referral&amp;utm_campaign=Huawei_Mate9\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12494 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/GuruReadMore-300x68.png\" alt=\"gurureadmore\" width=\"300\" height=\"68\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/GuruReadMore-300x68.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/GuruReadMore-326x75.png 326w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/GuruReadMore.png 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaks are a fairly common thing these days, especially when it comes to device reveals.
