Huawei P8 Lite (2017) - Device Overview

Overview

The P8 Lite features an acceptable screen for the money, being equipped with a 5.2-inch Full HD display with IPS technology. This 5.2-inch frame is comfortable to hold, and it looks attractive. You can configure the screen to light up when you receive a notification, plus the coloured LED notification light pulses with new notifications. With the Huawei P8 lite's 12 MP camera and f/2.0 aperture, you can be sure to capture the highest quality images and videos. Along with the Pro Camera mode and additional camera features, expressing yourself has never been easier. When you flip the device over you'll see the completely glass back.
It has a dual-SIM slot on the right side. Instead of rocking two SIM cards, the 16GB of built-in storage can be expanded to 256GB with the addition of a microSD card.

The P8 Lite is powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 655 processor. This is an eight-core chip with four high-speed cores and four low-power cores for background tasks.
It’s accompanied by 3GB of RAM, which is par for the course. The P8 Lite runs Android 7 “Nougat”, which is the latest version of the OS.
All in all, the P8 Lite offers a decent design for a budget phone and definitely feels far more expensive than it actually is.

Tech Nugget

The P8 Lite has no physical home button on the front, but you still get a fingerprint scanner in Huawei’s favoured, rear-facing position
