Huawei Honor 8 Lite

The Huawei Honor 8 was released a long time ago back in July, 2016 that managed to grab our attention thanks to its dual camera and it’s decent battery life with fast charging. Now with the MWC 2017 coming near and all the smartphone makers are announcing their plans, Huawei is also expected to unveil a downgraded version of the Honor 8 titled as the Huawei Honor 8 Lite. To learn more about this phone including the Huawei Honor 8 Lite Saudi Arabia price, keep reading.

5.2-inch Full HD Display

A Lite version of a standard phone doesn’t necessarily mean a smaller screen which leaves us with the similar 5.2-inch screen showing 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. Leaked pictures of the upcoming Huawei Honor 8 Lite are roaming around where the phone looks quite similar to the standard version. It’s expected to show up with similar colors after the Huawei Honor 8 Lite release date Saudi Arabia which includes white, gold, black and blue. The Huawei Honor 8 is quite an attractive looking phone so we are not really looking for any changes here in the design department.

12-Megapixel Rear Camera

This is where things get different from the standard version. A major change in the phone is that the Lite version doesn’t include a dual camera like the standard version. It’s a single 12-megapixel camera on the back which should be good enough for taking pictures and capturing 1080p videos. The front camera will be a decent 8-megapixel one similar to the one in the standard version. If you were planning to wait for the Huawei Honor 8 Lite release date Saudi Arabia just for the dual camera, it’s definitely disappointing. However, there is the iPhone 7 Plus or Huawei P9. However, these are more expensive compared to the Huawei Honor 8 Lite Saudi Arabia price.

HiSilicon Kirin 655 Processor

Another major change in the phone is its processor. The Lite version is a mid-range phone and it will be packing HiSilicon Kirin 655 octa-core processor inside. This processor will be paired with 3GB of RAM. Built-in storage might be an issue for some people as the phone will show up with only 16GB built-in storage. However, there is a microSD card slot inside to take care of this problem. Right out of the box users will get to run the latest Android Nougat 7.0 operating system. Powering up the phone is a 3000mAh battery. As the phone is packing downgraded specs compared to the Huawei Honor 8 but packing the same size battery, it should last longer than the standard version. There is the Lenovo Vibe P1 and Asus Zenfone Max 2016 with big battery if you want great battery life from your phone.

Huawei Honor 8 Lite Saudi Arabia Price

The Huawei Honor 8 Lite will cost around 1100 SAR when it’s here. The Huawei Honor 8 Lite release date Saudi Arabia is expected sometimes in February or March, 2017.

• Decent battery size
• Attractive, premium-ish design

Things we didn’t like about the phone:

• No dual camera like the standard version
