Huawei P9 lite review: On a diet

08 July 2016
Whether it's "soda lite" or "flagship lite," people are more sensitive of the list of ingredients than ever before. So, what’s a Huawei P9 made of and will it taste the same without the secondary black & white camera and with less metal on the body?

How can you make the pro camera focus out when taking pictures?

      Please please please, viewers should stop staying non removal battery is a disadvantage in phones. 90% of the phones even the so called flagship phones don't have removal battery.

      They should simply stats it has non removal battery.

      And all you people that want phones with removal battery, why not simply just get a power bank rather then complaining.

      As list with a power bank you can still be on your call while charging your phone,
      you charge the power bank while not using once your phone is charged to a point.

      All this not removal battery stupid comment should stop right now.

      Some manufacture even provide power bank that come with the phone package.

            Don't get why Huawei gets all this hate, got this phone on Friday and honestly I'm impressed. even after 1.5 days I still had over 30% percent battery, even if it's not the flagship phone I can't see it lagging behind my S4 or OPO, in fact I'd even say it's faster and has a significantly better battery life. I paid at least a 100 euro more than I did for this phone.

                              Which is why most(not all) manufacturers especially the Chinese ones turned their back on the dedicated SDcard slot.

                                      "While Western makers want to expand eastwards..."

                                      Which Western phone makers are you talking about? I can think of only one.

                                        For the price is much better than lets say the xperia xa.Should be more competitive with a lower price for sure around £160-£170.
