The premium mid-range Huawei P8 Lite is now available at a $50 discount on Amazon, part of a limited-time deal set to expire shortly.
While the new Google Nexus 6P may be the hottest Huawei device at the moment, the company's other handsets can be quite appealing as well. The Huawei P8 Lite, for instance, may not boast the top-notch specs, features and design of the premium Nexus 6P flagship phablet, but it's nonetheless an attractive mid-ranger that aims to offer a quality experience on a budget.
As a reminder, the Huawei P8 Lite made its debut earlier this year as a powerful handset for its category, shooting for the mid-tier segment of the smartphone market. This means that it comes with decent specifications, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.
First of all, the handset features a 5-inch IPS LCD display with an HD resolution (1,280 x 720 pixels) and Gorilla Glass 3 protection, an ultra-thin profile and a sleek body that makes it look and feel premium.
"With its smooth outer contour, slim 7.7 mm edge and flawless lines, the P8lite sits perfectly balanced in the palm of your hand. The purest expression of a design concept that provides comfort, ease, and stability for every moment of your life," Huawei touts on the P8 Lite product page.
Under the hood, the P8 Lite packs a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, paired with 2GB of RAM for a fluid performance. Other specs include 16GB of internal storage space, microSD support for extra storage of up to 32GB, a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel selfie cam, 4G LTE connectivity and dual-SIM support. A 2,200 mAh non-removable battery will keep things up and running, while Android 5.0.2 Lollipop will handle the software side.
The Huawei P8 Lite normally retails for $249.99, but Amazon is having a neat limited-time sale to further sweeten the deal. The retailer is now selling the unlocked version of the P8 Lite for just $199.99, i.e. $50 off, but interested customers might want to take advantage of this deal while it still lasts.
Amazon doesn't note when the offer will expire, but Huawei announced the deal on its Facebook page and said that it's available only until Saturday. This means that come Saturday, Oct. 10, the Huawei P8 Lite will return to its regular pricing of $249.99 unlocked.
