Huawei Honor brand has introduced Honor 8 Lite, a
cheaper version of last year’s flagship Honor 8 smartphone in Finland. The main
difference is that this has a 12-megapixel single rear camera instead of dual
12-megapixel rear cameras on the Honor 8. This also comes with a less powerful
Kirin 655 processor, similar to the Honor 6X instead of Honor 8’s Kirin 950
SoC, but this runs Android 7.0 (Nougat) with EMUI 5.0 out of the box.
Other specifications are the same including 5.2-inch
Full HD 2.5D curved glass display,
fingerprint sensor on the glass back, 8-megapixel front-facing camera,
slim body with metal frame and a 3000 mAh battery. Even though this weighs
slightly less than the Honor 8, it is a bit bigger.
