The P9 has similar compact dimensions and weight to the Zuk Z2 but the P9 is a good $200 more expensive. OK, so why not the P9 Lite? Again, like the 5c a bit bulky and heavier, also only a mid range processor in comparison with the Zuk Z2's SD820, so I would go for the latter.

            I'm looking to downsize from a 5.7 inch phone to one that is 5.2 inches, but I want maximum compactness. Huawei's Honor 5c is too bulky and heavy (147.1 x 73.8 x 8.3mm and weighs 156g). Compare these dimensions to Lenovo's just announced Zuk Z2 (145.4 x 70.5 x 7.5 mm and weighs 145 grams). The Honor 5c is heavier than the 5.5 inch LG G3 which only weighed 149 grams, so the Huawei device is a bit of a brick by comparison. If you want to go ultra light in the 5.2 inch size range, check out the Xiaomi Mi 5 at only 129 grams. I guess the Huawei is meant to be a budget device, hence the bulk.

                          For this much price, it is definitely a better option than Huawei P9 Lite. Although keep one thing in mind, Honor series is usually alot costlier outside China (except 5x which was surprisingly sold for the same price even in US).
