Huawei P9 lite Review

Introduction

Whether it's "pop lite" or "lead lite," individuals are more touchy of the rundown of fixings than any other time in recent memory. All in all, what's a Huawei P9 made of and will it taste the same without the optional dark and white camera and with less metal on the body?

The Huawei P9 lite gloats the same configuration as its pricier kin, yet just the casing is metal this time around, the back is smooth polycarbonate. What's more, yes, the 12.3MP Leica double camera is gone, supplanted by a more easygoing 13MP shooter. There would some say some are more specialized contrasts which we'll cover later, however in the event that neither one of the cameras can record 2160p video, it is safe to say that this is a gigantic minimization or something you can live with?

An untrained eye may miss the differences between the Huawei P9 and P9 Lite specifications. You'll see the chipset still has eight CPU cores, but they are all A53 now, and the GPU has half the cores. Also, there's no 4GB option for RAM and you start at 2GB, while 3GB is extra. Then there's the camera downgrade and also some connectivity has been dropped (e.g. USB Type-C and 5GHz Wi-Fi) and there's no fast charging for the 3,000mAh battery.

Still, battery capacity is unchanged and the FullHD screen seems the same. The 8MP selfie camera actually sounds better as it has a brighter aperture.

We're starting to taste a deal. However, a wise shopper does due diligence first, so let's get on with that - will the Huawei P9 lite pass the Pepsi Challenge or can consumers taste the difference.
