Compared to the Huawei P8, the P8 Lite has a plastic body and not the P8's metal casing. Some hardware and other specifications have also been toned down a little in order to keep its retail price low.
In the report, the Huawei P8 Lite packs a 5-inch display with HD (1280 x 720) resolution, a 2GB RAM, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset that supports 64-bit applications, and 16GB of built-in memory. On the other hand, the international version of the P8 Lite has Huawei's favourite Kirin 620 SoC.
Other notable specs include a 13MP primary shooter, a 5MP front camera, a microSD card slot, a 2,200mAh battery, and Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat out of the box.
The Android smartphone will be available in white/gold or black/gray either from Huawei's official online store in the US, or from major third-party retailers like Amazon or Best Buy with a two-year warranty.
