Huawei P9 Lite now official with only a single rear camera


Huawei P9 Lite

While yesterday the Huawei P9 and P9 Max were revealed we had to wait until today before the Lite version of the phone became official.

From the front the Huawei P9 Lite shares the same size 5.2-inch display, with the same 1920 x 1080 resolution as the standard P9, but there are differences to make this device slightly cheaper.

Internally the phone has a Kirin 650 chipset, a mid-range octacore processor, with 3GB RAM and 16GB memory (expandable). The battery size is 3000mAh, and charging comes through a USB Type C plug.

On the rear is a fingerprint scanner, but where those dual Leica lenses and laser focus our on the P9 and P9 Max, the P9 Lite gets just a single 13 mega-pixel sensor, dual LED flash dn no Leica approval.

Other features include dual SIM, space for up to a 128GB SD card, LTE and 8 mega-pixel front facing camera.

The P9 Lite will come in gold or silver and is expected to cost quite a lot less than its dual camera brothers.

    Come on Huawei, please get rid of on-screen buttons. That bottom bezel looks huge btw, even if it would have cap. buttons.
