Characteristics and technical specifications

In the aforementioned analysis of the Huawei P8, we have a delicious taste in the mouth in the design and materials section. Although this Huawei P8 Lite does not use materials of the same quality, since it uses plastic throughout its chassis, it follows us, offering very successful finishes and an attractive physical appearance.

Video analysis

Opinion

The Huawei P8 Lite is a good terminal in general, strong in almost all important sections such as performance, connectivity, and cameras, as well as software, with a fairly updated version of Android, and a layer of personalization that although we don’t like it excessively, the truth is that it behaves correctly. The screen, without being a marvel, is acceptable.

We have not liked another aspect so much, such as the battery, which we consider too short at this point.

Positive points

  • Physical appearance: It retains the design line of the Huawei P8, so it continues to have a meticulous and ultimately beautiful physical appearance.
  • Camera: It is not usual for the mid-range to have good cameras, but this time they do. Good quality with both the front and rear cameras, and a very complete and comfortable application to use.

Bad points

  • Battery: Only 2200 milliamps of capacity, which is scarce, so we squeeze the terminal a bit.
