From pictures of indoors, HUAWEI P9 has shorter light exposure time and lower ISO, so it is brights than that of XIAOMI Redmi Pro. XIAOMI Redmi Pro is stronger in the lighting under the black-and-white camera. Pictures of HUAWEI P9 has higher color temperature, and those of Redmi Pro are warmer in the color performance.
