Introduction and Design
Huawei Honor 8 Lite is a cut-down variant of the Honor 8 that was launched earlier. The smartphone is available in black, gold, white, and blue colours and runs the Android 7.0 Nougat operating system out of the box under the Emotion 5.0 UI. The smartphone also sports a metal unibody design and ships with a fingerprint scanner slotted at the back.
Display and Performance
One can expect smooth sailing as the smartphone hosts an octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 655 chipset under the hood which is also paired with 4GB of RAM to handle multitasking.
The Honor 8 Lite boasts a big 5.5-inch Full HD display which is coupled with good viewing angles so that users can enjoy videos and games.
Storage and Camera
As opposed to the dual 12-megapixel rear camera on the Honor 8, the Honor 8 Lite comes with a 12-megapixel primary shooter for videos and images. Also, for low-light imaging, the device comes with an LED flash. On the front, the smartphone hosts an 8-megapixel front-facing shooter to aid selfies and video calls.
For storage, on gets 64GB of internal storage space which can be expanded further using a microSD card up to 128GB.
Battery and Connectivity
Connectivity options that tag along with the Honor 8 Lite include 4G, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, GPS, dual-SIM support, and a microUSB 2.0 port. Fuelled by a Li-Ion 3,000mAh cell, moderate users can expect the device to last for a day.
