Huawei has today launched its new smartphone under Nova series in the Philippines. Dubbed as the Huawei Nova 2 Lite, the phone is available for pre-order at a price of P9,990, which roughly converts to $192.

From the looks of the phone, its design seems to have been inspired by the Honor 9 Lite. The phone comes with an all-glass body and will be available in three color options — Matte Black, Blue, and Gold.

The Huawei Nova 2 Lite features a 5.99-inch HD+ IPS display with screen resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels. Under the hood, the phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 octa-core processor and not the company’s own Kirin processor.

The device packs 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot, which enables users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 256GB.

There’s a dual camera setup at the back consisting of a 13-megapixel camera sensor and a 2-megapixel camera sensor along with an LED flash. On the front, it features an 8-megapixel sensor for taking selfies and video calling.

The phone runs on the company’s latest EMUI 8.0 which is based on Android Oreo operating system. While there’s a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone, the device also comes with a Face Unlock feature.

Connectivity options on the Nova 2 Lite include 4G LTE, VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS, and a micro USB port. The phone is fuelled by a 3,000mAh battery, which should be enough to last for a day on single charge.

Currently, there is no information available about the global availability of the Huawei Nova 2 Lite. There’s a possibility that the company could launch this device under Honor brand in India to compete against Xiaomi which has been dominating the market.
