During the conference yesterday, no one mentioned that the company would launch the Huawei P8 Lite. Rumor said that this P8 Lite would be launch together with the flagship P8, but it was not. At the same time with the conference, on the products page, a few images of the P8 Lite had been leaked (page is now removed).

When the P8 Lite coming out, it will complete the trio of the P products, a new line of the company. Obviously, this is the mid-range alternative of the newly-launched flagship P8. Probably, the company wants to boost sale of the other 2 premium phones, so this mid-range must wait for a while.

Though not being launched at the moment, the Huawei P8 Lite specs were unveiled before. Having the thickness of 7.7mm, the device spots a 5” 720p display poered by a 64-bit 1.2GHz Cortex-A53 octa-core Kirin 620 processor along with 2GB RAM. Talking about the storage, it has 16GB internal storage, which is expandable via up to 128GB microSD.

On the front, there is a 5MP camera for selfie purposes and a 13MP camera on the back to capture higher resolution photos. Not a single clue whether it has OIS or the RGBW imaging is revealed. Dual SIM with dual standby, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and 4G LTE are supported on this lighter version P8 as well. The Huawei P8 Lite will be running Emotion UI 3 built on the Android Lollipop-based.

As far as we concern about the P8 Lite price, considering these specs, the phone is reportedly priced at €270 ( around RM 1055). The Huawei P8 and the P8 Max are scheduled to launch in 30 countries and luckily, Malaysia  is one of the first countries to see them in real. Hopefully, Huawei P8 Lite release date will have the same pattern of launching, including Malaysia.
