Reviews for the Huawei P9 Lite
Product care. Huawei supplements its P9 lineup with the classy mid-range smartphone P9. The 5.2-inch Android handset proved to be a worthy successor of the bestseller P8 Lite in the test.

Archive.org versionIn a time when the market for wearable tech is ever growing, one’s ownership of a smart bracelet or watch is becoming a more common thing. However, the price is what draws away many users and they ask the fair question of whether the features of these devices are worth the investment. With the new offer combining a smartphone and a smart bracelet, Huawei is trying to make us think twice. The company has put together the stylish and powerful Huawei P9 lite and the smart bracelet.

Archive.org versionThe "diet" label usually comes with a warning: "does not replace an exercise routine." In similar fashion, the Huawei P9 lite has to do the work, it just can't cut back on the sugar and call it a day. And it does deliver. It has a sweet display, the build quality, chipset and battery life proved quite tasty as well. The camera is good if not great while the software is an acquired taste, which some of you may already have.

Archive.org versionSo while it might be a low calorie take on the P9, sometimes the skimmed option does everything that you want: which is exactly the point of the P9 Lite. Fair price, fair performance and more than fair design lead the way here, the big difference being the shedding of those dual Leica cameras to the rear.
