News & Reviews:   Huawei Mate 9 Lite

While there wasn't any clear big event or device this week, the sheer number of announcements was huge with Vivo announcing their V5 (set for an official announcement in Malaysia next week) along with their X9, X9 Plus and XPlay 5 devices. The more powerful OnePlus 3T got announced rather quietly alongside the downgraded Huawei Mate 9 Lite while Huawei also announced the Huawei Mate 9 Pro for China. Check out the rest in the article.

While the Huawei Mate 9 and Porsche Design Huawei Mate 9 arrived with plenty of fanfare, Huawei have quietly listed the Huawei Mate 9 Lite on their global site. Featuring a dual rear camera, it appears that Huawei are reserving the monochrome mode for the higher-end versions as the 12MP + 2MP rear cameras instead focus on wide aperture or "bokeh" mode much like the Honor 8. The overall design is the same though but the Leica branding is gone as well. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet.
