Huawei P8 Lite deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	Recombu | Chris Barraclough Huawei's crafted a solid user experience in almost every area, wrapped in some slick hardware. For this price, what more could you ask for? Read full review
90	Expert Reviews | Christopher Minasians The LG G6 is a decent flagship with a great screen, an impressive camera and a great design (as long as you don't choose the black version). Read full review
80	GadgetSpeak | paul_smart While Android 7 phones are still in the minority this offering from Huawei has it. Until last year Huawei was a name I had not heard of. A huge launch brought the P9 to the world's attention and although this was launched much later this is the latest version of the P8. Read full review
80	Brighthand | Grant Hatchimonji The Huawei P8 Lite is a great-looking younger sibling to the more powerful P8, but it's crippled by a poorly designed UI that's layered on top of the Android OS. Read full review
72	pocketnow | Jules Wang There are some fun features on the P8 Lite, though not as many as there are on the P8. They work alright. For more on the P8 Lite's camera, refer to our dedicated camera article. But overall, this isn't the best all-purpose snapper, nor can we say it's even great for its price point. Read full review
70	Trusted Reviews | Michael Passingham The P8 Lite is a solid mid-range effort from Huawei that offers excellent value Read full review
70	Android Authority | Phil Vierno The Huawei P8 Lite is a good entrant in the budget-friendly smartphone space, but it does fall short in some key areas when compared to its competition Read full review
69	MobileTechTalk | Kurt Colbeck After using the P8 Lite 2017, I have opened my eyes to a budget smartphone again. Unfortunately, due to the memory management issue I mentioned in the performance section of the review, I can't recommend this phone entirely. Read full review
68	YourTechExplained | Ben Schoon Huawei P8 Lite is a pretty decent deal, but it's definitely not the best you can get for that money. Read full review
60	Digital Trends | Kyle Wiggers We called the P8 Lite's namesake, the P8, an "accomplished" and "confident" phone that is "worthy of your attention." Perhaps at a lower price point, the same could be said of its smaller sibling. But as things stand, the P8 Lite just doesn't measure up. Read full review
60	Digital Versus | Romain Thuret The P8 Lite is lower in performance, but it still has decent capabilities. It's a good smartphone for multimedia, basic features and taking pictures, but the experience is unfortunately dragged down by a mediocre screen and short battery life. Read full review
60	CNET UK | Lynn La The Huawei P8 Lite's affordable unlocked price is compelling, but the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 is a much better deal. Read full review
50	Tom's Guide | Mike Prospero A robust camera and dual SIM card slots make the affordable P8 Lite worth a look, but the device is outclassed by similarly priced, unlocked Android phones... This smaller, less expensive version of the P8 has a capable camera and dual SIM card slots, but a lower-resolution display and way-below-average battery life make this device much less of a bargain than similarly priced, unlocked smartphones. Read full review
50	AnandTech | Brandon Chester The P8 Lite wouldn't be a bad recommendation if it was priced a bit lower and received an update to Lollipop. (...) At this time there are simply better options in the price range, and so at its current price point the P8 Lite is a phone I find difficult to recommend. Read full review
50	TechRadar | Mike Stenger We liked being able to quickly access the camera by tapping the volume button twice was a great added feature. Unfortunately, I found there to be more dislikes than likes with the Huawei P8 Lite. There's really no reason to buy the Huawei P8 Lite. Read full review
