So

Low internal memory
Underwhelming battery life
Low contrast and brightness

Mid range devices in the $200-300 range are more interesting than devices at the low end of the smartphone market because there's more room for OEMs to prioritize some features over others in order to differentiate their device. With low end devices it's...

Abstract: It used to be, not too long ago, that buying an unlocked smartphone online from some unfamiliar Chinese OEM was a sure-fire recipe for frustration. The thing is, the bar for no-contract phones has gotten so high within the past two years or so that you co...

Dual-SIM feature with LTE, very good voice quality, microSD slot, NFC and Bluetooth, strong WLAN performance, smooth operation, design and quality impression, decent display, good pictures, but...
video compression too high, inaccurate GPS, below-average battery runtime, display could be brighter, headset sound is average, only 2.4 GHz WiFi, battery integrated
Buyers of the P8 lite get a solid device that convinces with a smooth operation, good voice quality and a decent screen in practice. The chassis leaves a good and pretty sophisticated impression in general as well, even though the build quality reveals so...
Abstract: Huawei isn't a well-known name in the US market so they're trying to grab attention with decent budget friendly phones like the new Huawei P8 Lite. It costs just $250 unlocked and includes dual SIM card slots and a decent set of specs for the price. Trave...
Great design and thin body (7.7 mm), Good performance for its class, provided by the octa-core Kirin 620 SoC, Plenty of useful software features and applications, Quality photos under various conditions
Not very durable battey, Relatively high temperatures after heavy loads
We will soon update the review with our in-depth tests of the screen and camera, but even at this moment we can say, that Huawei P8lite is a good offering for a mid-class device. Although, appearance is a subjective matter and some users may find the devi...

Sleek, cleanlooking build, Edgetoedge display looks great, Solid battery life
Huawei's Emotion UI is terrible, Specs, while still decent, are frustratingly lower than larger model
Huawei P8 Lite edge-to-edge display While the P8 Lite has a lot of things going for it – namely, its attractive build and beautiful edge-to-edge display – it's somewhat difficult to recommend it due to its very poorly-implemented Emotion UI. Rarely is...

Abstract: Chinese smartphone-maker Huawei doesn't have a significant presence in the US market, but it's trying to build its brand stateside with budget phones sold unlocked and off-contract. Is its US$250 P8 lite smartphone worth a look?The Huawei P8 lite is one o...
A solid overall fit and finish, Extra camera software features, Great back end support (see pricing and availability)
Display puts out inconsistent color, Power efficiency is not as advertised, Lackluster photos,
In a board room somewhere within Huawei, there were people that thought the company should continue serving its customers outside of the China and Europe geographies and in the unlocked mid-ranger market. Perhaps that is where the most growth is right...

Good camera, Dual SIM card slots
Short battery life, Runs older Android OS, Low display resolution
A robust camera and dual SIM card slots make the affordable P8 Lite worth a look, but the device is outclassed by similarly priced, unlocked Android phones...
