Will there be a honor 8 lite, like to P9? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Any know of any news on this front?

I don't think there will be one, as Honor 8 is a budget device IMHO, but then again, who knows what Honor have in mind.

Isn't the Honor 5C more or less the P9 lite?

Nope that isn't happening. Only the 'P' Series have 'Lite' versions. Honor series don't have lite versions but however there could be Honor 8X or 8A or 8C or whatever Huawei wants to

There is no relation between Huawei and Honor models. Honor has no Lite models.

Specs wise I'd say the 5C is a variant of the P9 lite.

I think they're pretty close, yes. But some variants of P9 Lite have NFC, I think one variant have 3GB RAM (not sure), it has fingerprint reader and a better screen.

The 5C has NFC but no fingerprint sensor in the UK, but the Chinese models has the fingerprint sensor.
I'm sure they're the same hardware platform and customised by region. Using a different screen, software, 3 or 4GB RAM, NFC, fingerprint sensor etc.

I don't think so, from Honor's history there's no lite yet.
But who knows it may happen

i dnt think it will happen, bt am eagerly waiting for honor 6x(with dual cam)

there should be, with single cam, like iPhone series.

It might have 8A or 8C or 8i... Need to wait and see...
Let it get released in other parts of the world. Depends on the success.

Honor doesn`t have Lite models afaik because they are inexpensive allready, Huawei has some for their premium devices.

Honor 5C in Bulgaria is named as Honor 7 Lite

Watssssssss up?!
Hey pal you are the only one who replied; so tanx. Eventually I discovered that GT3 is GR5 mini which is the new design of P9 Lite of 2016 (let's keep it a secret" . As a PERSIAN proverb says "When A Mystery Gets Solved Gets Easy!". So just do what ever you do for rooting P9 lite for rooting GT3 - Gr5 mini.
But about your Inquiry :EVERYTHING is great exept microphone, The mic is terrible.
FingerPrint Scanner is EXTRAORDINARYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
Thanks. The Huawei is a good brand but confused about the phones model and names... Apparently it changes the names in diferentes countries...
Did you discover custom ROMs for the GT3? Have you information about official update for nougat?
This phone in my country is 70€ less than the p9 lite...
30$

Is this the same as Huawei GR5 2017?

Hi,
Is this subforum also covering the new HUAWEI GR5 2017, because it has the same specs as HONOR 6X?
Looks like an international rebrand to me.

I think Bangladesh & Nepal too. Sri Lanka anyway doesn't get the Honor brand much the Honor 5X came as Huawei GR5 a with a Kirin processor instead of snapdragon 616.
Honor 6X = Huawei Mate 9 Lite.
I don't mind the brand, I just want this one fast (in the Netherlands).

Will it come as Mate 9 lite? Back in November I saw that it was rebranded as Mate 9 lite and huawei had a page for that phone on their website, but somehow that site isn't there anymore. I have a feeling they might go with the Honor branding

Huawei and Honor both have different strategy, even though honor is sub brand of Huawei. I have asked this same question to honor president in carnival and got a detailed response on this that cleared the doubts. There is good amount of difference as well in their pricing.
Huawei- higher cost, premium series phones, mostly in house Kirin processor, high end camera with their partnership with lieca
Honor- budget segment mostly (apart from Honor 8 and Magic)with mixup of Kirin and snapdragon processors, started shifting to high end and dual cameras in Honor 8, Magic..

Great explanation. Thanks. In China, there is even more sub brands of HUAWEI, so they categorize the market into more subs.

Is it Honor 6X only? If so, it will be in same section once custom roms are out. And it should support your phone also.

You can help the custom ROM process by adding information of your phone.

MHA-L29 vs LON-L29 Cameras

OK .... So now I'm thoroughly confused.
I ordered both the Mate 9 and the Mate 9 Pro (because of Amazon generous return policy). Initially I got the Mate 9 because of price.
The first disappointment is that the Mate 9 Pro apparently had only dual SIM sorry and NO micro SD ??? Is that correct? Why in the heck would they limit you like that?
More importantly and I can't get a clear answer ..... Do the Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro have different cameras ??? Huawei customer support was thoroughly confusing!! Anyone have hands on comparison of the 2 devices. I could probably survive only 128gb of storage of the camera is truly different and better!
You are right. Pro dont have microsd slot, only dual-sim and 128gb memory (6gb ram). Camera's is same on both. Only differences betweed Mate 9 and Pro is memory and screen.

That's what it appeared on the specs BUT ..... the Huawei support person acted like cameras were different .. Also there is a Chinese (sounds like) YouTube video that compares Mate 9 to Mate 9 Pro and shows much worse images with the Mate 9

Does he/she shows pictures straight from mobile screen to video camera or?... I have used both and opened both phones and they definetely had same camera. I havent noticed any differences with picture quality. Of there really is differences then its caused by firmware, maybe pro has tweaked more?

As per my opinion,
It is the best phone in the range.
Using it from 2 weeks.
It feels like premium phone with full vision display and also have great selfie camera.
Bought it from FK in 16.2k.

Huawei reveals full list of smartphones getting EMUI 10

Late last year, Huawei announced EMUI 10, its latest software based on Android 10. They kicked things off with a beta that was made available for many Huawei and Honor devices. Today, the company is announcing (via press release) the rollout schedule for stable EMUI 10, starting with the Huawei P30 series.
Huawei continues to march on despite its well-documented situation within the Android ecosystem. EMUI 10 brings many of the features we’ve come to know from Android 10, including Dark mode, as well as Huawei’s own interface updates and performance and security improvements. You can check out our hands-on with EMUI 10 on the Huawei P30 Pro to see it in action.
The good news for those wondering about Google services is the devices listed in the roadmap were released before the ban. That means they will be allowed to continue to use Google services. Huawei has listed six devices that will be getting EMUI 10 this month and a bunch of other devices scheduled for “later months.”
January:
Huawei P30 Pro
Huawei P30
Huawei Mate 20 Pro
Huawei Mate 20
Huawei Mate 20 X (4G)
Huawei Nova 5T
Later Months:
Porsche Design Huawei Mate 20 RS
Huawei Mate 20 X(5G)
Huawei P30 lite
Huawei Nova 4e
Huawei P20
Huawei P20 Pro
Huawei Mate 10
Huawei Mate 10 Pro
Porsche Design Huawei Mate 10
Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS
Huawei Mate 20 lite
Huawei P Smart 2019
Huawei P Smart + 2019
Huawei P Smart Pro
Huawei P Smart Z
Huawei Nova 4
Huawei Nova Lite 3
thank you for the news.
i am anxiously waiting
Let's see if Huawei extends more than 2 major update cycles to these "pre ban" devices. Doubt it .
