i really want to know the differences with the p9 lite. Is kinda weird how huawei releases this phone with p9 lite so close.
it obviously depends which country you live in but in canada, all 3 are coming out in the summer so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same for the usa...though we have always had a bit of a history with huawei.yeah, if i needed a midranger i'd go p8 lite 2017 probably too, or A5 2016.. but huawei branding is confusing, and your average customer would expect the p9 lite to be the better phone vs the p8 lite 2017.... and with the p10 lite (probably) around the corner too.... and they also have honor phones with similar specs (they just announced honor 8 lite)

edit. interesting that honor phones usually lack NFC, not that is very important unless you use the phone to pay with android pay or your bank app
It's a bit faster (something negligible today, maybe you'd notice a difference 2 years from now), and a better back camera.
Release price is cheaper too, at least theoretically. There's no reason to get a P9 Lite except if drop resistance is fundamental to you.
It's weird from the costumer's POV, from a brand perspective, it's a great name choice. This is gonna sell by itself just because of name alone, hence the choice. The P8 Lite is the most popular product ever from Huawei.
I sold 14 of these this Saturday at 260 euros each, I can imagine when it hits 200 220 around Christmas.
If I had to say, P9 Lite will be discontinued to leave room for the P8 and P10 Lite.

Why P8 Lite/P9 Lite when the Honor 8 is 90% of the P9?

Quick pixel thoughts. Quite a bit smoother and better at memory management than the mate 9. Let's see if this continues after a month.
USB c fast charging is way slower and hotter than supercharge. But at least it's way easier to find more of these on amazon.
Screen size reduction hasn't been a huge issue for me surprisingly. Just need to adjust to the smaller keyboard.
Speaker kinda sucks. Oh well.
Fingerprint sensor is way slower than Huawei.. Might be the slowest I've used since iPhone 5s.
If anyone wants my 1 month old mate 9 for $450 give me a holler.

honor 8 is way more expensive, 350/400 vs 200/250
200 vs 350
the slow fingerprint scanner is a weird one considering all other premium phones have super fast ones these days (other than samsung who also has a slow one).Quick pixel thoughts. Quite a bit smoother and better at memory management than the mate 9. Let's see if this continues after a month.

Even the oneplus 3T at it's price point has a super speedy scanner. It's the little things like that which make me question why google thought a premium price was ok without premium design/innards. The 2 has a lot to step up to.
S8 lack of branding yay!
S8 back-top-right fingerprint button sensor lol!
S8 no stereo speakers meh.
I guess Apple is clear to blow us away with iP8
you're right. That's the one. I think there is a huawei phone as well but I could be wrong on that. It's definitely the best implementation and one I think all OEMs should use whenever possible.I think HTC 10 does boomsound with the front and bottom speakers.
I'll second whomever said that photo makes the device look long as fuck.
Makes it look weird.

btw, anyone with huawei phones is using androidpay? Does it work well?
I wonder when will it be available in most countries. Having samsung pay is so convienent.....
Didn't realize it was such a big price difference. How does the P8/P9 Lite compare to the Honor 6x?
These icons for the software buttons on the S8 look ugly.

i see samsung is sticking with reverse navigation keys

So is Google adding native support for rounded display corners in an upcoming Android release, or did Samsung/LG get word of what the other was doing and decided to do the same?
