The Huawei P9 is said to be launching next month. Since the supposed unveiling is coming soon, supposed leaks and teasers keep cropping up online to set up the upcoming flagship's release. The latest rumor says that it is all systems go for the Huawei P9's launch as there is already a working version being used by company executives.

According to Android Authority, images of Huawei President Ren Zhengfei using a dual-cam smartphone is currently circulating online. The observer said that the smartphone in question may already be the upcoming P9, since it is believed that the new flagship will sport a dual-cam setup. In addition, the smartphone's back panel bears strong resemblance to the supposed body profile of the Huawei P9, supposedly leaked in an unofficial "first look" some weeks ago.

While it is not confirmed if the Huawei president is indeed using the P9, it is certainly plausible for the company executive to be already flaunting a device yet to be unveiled. It is only weeks until Huawei finally launches the upcoming device, and it is probable that some working versions of the Huawei P9 are already out. In addition, the P9 being in the hands of some executives may be part of continuing testing stages, and Huawei may want to get feedback straight from its users.

The dual-cam setup is said to be one of the main features of the upcoming Huawei P9, and it is rumored that the China-based company has partnered with Leica for the mains shooter's assembly. In a series of images said to have been taken with the Huawei P9, the company is placing the dual-cam setup not only as a main feature, but also one of the selling points of the upcoming flagship.

Recent reports suggested that Huawei will be unveiling the P9 on April 6.
