Honor 8 Lite Expert Review Summary

Expert Rating:

3.5/5

Verdict

There’s no doubt that the Honor 8 Lite has a lot going in its favour, and comes across as stylish-looking, decent all rounder. Launched for a sticker price of Rs 17,999, the device is now available online in the region of Rs 15-16k. Unfortunately for it though, it fails to stand out in any single aspect, which means that some others in its segment, especially the Moto G5 Plus (review), come across as better buys. The G5 Plus shines with its superb camera, not to mention its near-stock interface. More importantly though, the dual-camera toting Honor 8 (review) is now available in the region o...

Pros

Stylish looks and compact size
Good cameras
Decent performance

Cons

Lacks fast charging
Fingerprint magnet
Screen looks washed out in daylight

Summary +

If you’re looking for the short answer, it’s yes. For starters, the phone carries on with the good looks one would expect from the Honor 8’s successor. Next, despite the lack of dual cameras, the photographic prowess of the Lite isn’t half bad, though it tends to miss the mark sometimes. The performance and battery life is quite decent too. As for the bad, well, we’d count the lack of fast charging among one of the gripes we have with it. Now that you have the lowdown on the phone in a nutshell, let’s take a slightly more detailed look.

The lowdown +

The combination of a compact 5.2-inch 2.5D display slapped on a sleek glass sandwich design gives the Honor 8 Lite a classy, elegant look. The primary camera at the rear sits flush with the body, and there are no unruly protrusions anywhere on its svelte bod. The phone probably won’t overshadow its accomplished predecessor in the design department, but suffice it to say that the 8 Lite is one of the best-looking phones south of Rs 20k. The fingerprint scanner is placed at the rear, and works quite well for recognising your prints and unlocking the phone in a jiffy. It even offers a few gestures - such as bringing down the notifications panel with a downward swipe, letting you browse through pictures in the gallery and so on.
