Huawei finally launched the successor to last year’s Ascend P7 smartphone, and the Huawei P8 is everything we imagined based on months of rumors. The new flagship looks sleek, is powerful, and comes with many unique features. The company also unveiled the P8 Max, a massive, phablet version of the device.

Design and Display

Huawei’s P line of phones have always looked attractive, partially due to how much the company borrows from the iPhone design and Sony’s Xperia phone design. The P8 looks even sleeker than last year’s model with polished, double-chamfered edges just like those found on the iPhone 5. The 5.2-inch IPS screen is almost bezel-free with a resolution of 1,920 x 1080 pixels, and the entire device is encased in an aluminum unibody. Despite sporting such a big screen, it has a waistline of just 7.7mm and more importantly weight of just 131g.

For selfies and video calling, there is a 5MP front snapper. It carries an internal memory of 16GB which is further expandable up to 128GB.

Battery and Connectivity

The Huawei P8 Lite is runs the show with a 2,200mAh Li-ion battery. On the connectivity front, we have options like 4G (specific regions), 3G, GLONASS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v4.1, USB port, Mobile hotspot and GPS/A-GPS.

Verdict

The Huawei P8 Lite, as the name indicates, is unbelievably light available at a mid range price. It justifies its price with quality features in every department including an octa-core processor and latest Android OS. A better battery would have been good but that’s okay considering its weight.
