Huawei G9 Lite official: reinvigorates affordable Android phones with sleek design
Rather than carrying the expected Huawei P9 Lite name, the official name of this phone is the Huawei G9 Lite and it is one good-looking mid-ranger.
Good looks are not the only thing the G9 Lite offers: it's actually quite the bang for the buck, covering all the basics. It sports a reasonable size with a 5.2" display, that metal build with slim profile and light weight, along with Huawei's custom user interface on top of Android and a 13-megapixel, f/2.0 rear camera.
The phone also comes in a selection of three familiar, iPhone-like colors: a dark grey, light great and gold version.
Here are the specs of the Huawei G9 Lite in a nutshell:

Price and release date
The HuaweI G9 carries an official price of some $260 (1,700 yuan) in China. The world's most populous nation is also the first and so far only official market for the phone, but we expect the phone to also go on sale in many of Huawei's global markets including Europe. There is no official information about price and release date of the Huawei G9 in the United States.
