Honor 8 Lite Review

Score: 58.9 / 100

Honor 8 Lite is a mid level Android cellphone launched back in the year 2017, featuring an extremely powerful Octa-Core processing unit clocking at 2.1 gigahertz, a comfortable 5.2-inches display, and two cameras, a 12 mega-pixels back side camera and an 8 mega-pixels front facing camera. Great! That's it? No, it's just the introduction of this in-depth review.

This phone is equipped with a HiSilicon Kirin 655 chip, holding an extremely fast Octa-Core processor speeding at 2.1 GHz and a big 3 GB of RAM. The Honor 8 Lite has a 16 GB quite large internal storage memory and an SD card slot, allowing the user to install a couple hundred applications without worrying about space.

This phone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a device like this. This device is available in many different color options, black, blue, gold and white. The Honor 8 Lite just has 5.8" long, but it's able to fit a a 5.2" display. Being just 0.3" thick,this device is thin and practical. Talking about its materials quality, this device is majorly created with Glass and Plastic .

This phone features two cameras, a 12 megapixels back camera and an 8 mega-pixels front side camera. This camera also has time lapse video.

equipped this phone with a gorgeous 5.2" display, and a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, which makes everything look absolutely great.

The Honor 8 Lite has a huge 3000 mAh non-replaceable battery that can keep this cellphone running for several hours without having to charge it at all. An issue to evaluate is that the Honor 8 Lite's battery isn't removable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts losing capacity, even though having 3000 mAh you will probably replace this cellphone before it becomes an issue.

This device has wi-fi capability (and it can provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high performance internet connection and fast 3G connection type, using HSPA technologies. The Honor 8 Lite works with a Nano SIM card for GSM networks.

The Honor 8 Lite also features a few nice characteristics such as Fingerprint unlock, Bluetooth (for communication with other phones, computers and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
