Initially debuted in Finland back in February, the Honor 8 Lite has now officially landed in India.

A new Honor smartphone teaser was just announced today by Huawei on Facebook, we don’t know what device it would be but we can confirm that the official date is 5 April 2017 and a live event launch (perhaps a livestream?) will start at 10.30 GMT.

The Honor 8 Lite was announced alongside the Honor V9 in China today. If it might look rather familiar, that's probably because it had been introduced in a multitude of other names, which includes the Huawei P8 Lite (2017), as well as Huawei Nova Lite.

Today, the Honor announced in China the new Honor V9, alongside the Honor 8 Lite. With specs rivalling that of the Huawei Mate 9, it comes at a lower price, but, not without some cut-down specifications, such as retaining last year’s dual 12MP rear camera instead of the newer 20MP+12MP combo.

Prices start from 2599 Yuan (around RM1685) for the 4GB/64GB upwards to 3499 Yuan (around RM2266) for the top end 6GB/128GB model.

Honor has moved fast and quickly revealed their Honor 8 Lite smartphone officially and quietly in Finland. The phone will go for €269 (RM1284) and is currently on preorder with a release date of 17 February 2017. It will be available in black, blue, gold and white with Android 7.0 Nougat and EMUI 5.0.

The rumour mill continues onwards as it reveals the Honor 8 Lite in a case no less. Looking much like the recently revealed Huawei P8 Lite (2017) the rumoured Honor 8 Lite looks like it only features a single rear camera and instead of the USB Type-C port on the Honor 8, it goes for a MicroUSB port instead.
