News & Reviews:   Huawei P9 Lite specs

When it comes to a tale of three smartphone siblings, the youngest is usually made and designed as the lesser version for the lower-end market. In Huawei's case, both the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus are excelling in the smartphone market with the dual rear Leica camera sensors and convenient camera features. The Huawei P9 Lite, however, does not possess the Leica camera like its brothers. But it doesn't mean that it's not worth buying, read below to find out why!

Hey Huawei fans, Huawei has confirmed that the Huawei P9 and P9 Lite will be in Malaysia soon on 28 May 2016! As you may already know, the P9 is the first smartphone born out of a collaboration between Huawei and Leica, that results in a stunning dual 12MP lens camera smartphone. While there's no official retail price yet, all will be revealed on 20 May this Friday. The smartphone will come in three colour variations - Prestige Gold, Titanium Grey and Mystic Silver.

This week, the biggest news began with the cancellation of Intel processors for mobile, effectively announcing their withdrawal from the smartphone and mobile industry, at least for now. We might see some Intel 5G LTE processors in the future, but it basically means that there will likely be no Intel powered smartphones this year.

Second biggest was the regional announcement of the Huawei P9, P9 Plus and P9 Lite, due for a Malaysia release date after May 2016. The folks at honor celebrated their 2nd Anniversary to #seastheday while Huawei continued the streak by announcing the Huawei G9 Lite and MediaPad M2 7.0.

It's been a month now since the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus was unveiled to the world, the latest Huawei flagships are the results of the first collaboration between Huawei and the global iconic camera brand Leica back in February. Not only that, the P9 lite also made an appearance in Bali, Indonesia, however it lacks the dual rear Leica camera and is set as an affordable option for the series. The P9 series will be available in Malaysia after the end of May, but prices are yet to be announced and there are no plans for P9 Max for Southeast Asia.

Just when we thought there aren't going to be anymore Huawei P9 models, Huawei secretly announced the P9 Lite version just a few hours ago as a low-budget smartphone in Russia. Strangely, neither price nor availability was announced, but we do have some information on the tech-specs:-
