The Huawei P8 lite (2017) mid-range smartphone was announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017. Fresh information suggests that the smartphone would be releasing in some markets as Huawei Nova Lite.

The leakster has not revealed the exact names of the regions where the device will be arriving as Huawei Nova Lite. Since the smartphone is also expected to release in some Latin America in the near future, it is likely to launch as Huawei Nova Lite in these markets.

If the Huawei P8 Lite was a car, then we’d have said it had gotten a face-lift but it isn’t, so its safe to say the Huawei P8 Lite has got a new edition and it adopts the moniker Huawei P8 Lite 2017 Edition. The new P8 Lite 2017 is coming as a surprise smartphone because Huawei had already launched the P9 Lite last year, which we thought was a replacement for the P8 Lite.
