HENRY'S QUOTE VIA PR NEWSWIRE (where you can read the rest on the new campaign).

"I have a genuine passion for technology, so I'm excited by the opportunities created by the P9 dual lens. I'm impressed by the partnership of Huawei and Leica in their engineering of a true high performance smartphone camera. They've done this and managed to package it into a fantastic device as well."

Va a ser que odio figurar y salir en la foto (lo sabéis), pero queridos y queridas, que la vida te regale a @henrycavill gracias a #OO no tiene precio. Estos 5 minutos con Superman no se me van a olvidar jamás (y mira, a ti ya te olvidé). Gracias a @estefania_asenjo por su generosidad y su dulzura y gracias a todos mis amigos por haberme aguantado estos meses. Y ya para acabar, proclamo que @HenryCavill es el hombre más encantador y más guapo sobre la faz de la Tierra.
