Honor has slashed the price of the Honor 8 Lite smartphone by Rs. 2000. Hence, you only need to pay Rs. 15999 instead of the retail price of Rs. 17999 for both Blue and Black color variants. The main attraction of Honor 8 Lite is the integration of EMUI 5.0 user interface based on Android 7.0 Nougat operating platform. The main purpose of the Honor 8 Lite price cut is attributed to boosting sales of the device to a large extent.
Display
The Honor 8 Lite is equipped with a 5.2-inch FHD display with 2.5D curved glass protection. The resolution of the device is 1920×1080 pixels, which helps you to explore all the content easily. The smartphone is a perfect fit for app browsing and web browsing including media consumption.
Performance
Powered by Kirin 644 processor, the Honor 8 Lite features 4GB RAM coupled with 64GB expandable internal storage. The processor consists of 8 cores with four colors running at 2.1GHz. The remaining four cores will run at a clock speed of 1.7GHz. It is possible to extend the storage up to 128GB via microSD card. Even though Kirin is a capable browser, there will be lags during gaming. We have Honor 6X and found it to be laggy at certain times.
Camera
The Honor 8 Lite ships with a 12MP rear camera with support for PDAF, autofocus with f/2.2 aperture. The front side offers an 8MP sensor with 77-degree wide angle lens.
Battery
Like in the case of all other smartphones, the Honor 8 Lite is integrated with a 3000mAh battery. The device will be capable of delivering a backup of over four days upon normal usage.
Connectivity
In addition to 4G VoLTE, the smartphone provides support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth alongside micro-USB and OTG. The weight of the smartphone is less at 147 grams with an overall thickness of 7.6mm.
The Honor 8 Lite is currently available for Rs. 15999 in both Black and Blue color variants. However, we still feel that the smartphone is price higher when compared to competing devices.
