Description

Not too long after unveiling the P9 and P9 Plus, Huawei officially announced the P9 Lite - the third member of its P9 series of handsets. The Huawei P9 Lite has a fingerprint scanner on the back, and sports a 5.2-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixels. The phone offers a regular 13 MP rear snapper instead of the dual 12 MP rear camera of the P9. Moreover, the processor inside the P9 Lite is an octa-core Kirin 650, which isn't as powerful as the octa-core Kirin 955 that the P9 has. The P9 Lite offers 16 GB of expandable storage space, 2 GB or 3 GB of RAM (depending on region), and a 3000 mAh battery.

This device is also known as Huawei VNS-L31, Huawei VNS-L21
