Huawei P8lite - User Reviews

  • i have this phone and the biggest problem is in bluetooth , i have a smart band and in any other phone i connect instantly, in this one never connects, sucks this

  • What? ;)

  • nope

  • I have this phone it works nothing wrong with it

  • Am in Dilema btn huawei p8 lte and Samsung Galaxy j7 which should i choose all i need is great camera and fast phone

  • Did you fix the problem.? I have the same problem to😞

  • Got this in november 2015, works fine. Camera isn't great, never was. It's fast enough. The power button broke recently however that could've easily been avoided. The metallic finish on the edge was very easily chipped away and it looks terrible very early on from when i bought it. Other than that, good phone. I bought it for £90 which I think isn't much in this day and age.

  • Using this handset from past four years... I love this device..... Thanks for that.... Now this device has completed its life cycle. This is the time to change but its love...

  • You can't use it🤗. Its a good phone...

  • This phone is extremely slow, hangs alot , 24/7 showing low memory. I have to delete one app to downoad the other. I am very disappointed with this phone. Bought it almost 3 years ago, its getting worse with the time.

  • You haven't published my opinion due to my opinion of the POTUS so huawei no longer exists in my Galaxy. Perhaps I'll get a Samsung to replace MY Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910H. It is still operating as when it was new. I am true to a brand if I'm allowed to be.

  • How many simcard

  • Need to upgrade

  • How we can use screen recording???? How can we upgrade the Huawei P8 lite version from 5.0.2(lollipop) to 6(marshmellow)

  • Just install 3rd party apps like mobizen and you should be golden :). Have a nice day!

  • Does Huawei P8 Lite support OTG

  • It does.

  • does the Huawei p8lite support screen recording .

  • how long does the battery hold its charge in your phone (what the timer for display on shows ) when it`s used for browsing ,watching youtube or live stream ?

  • I hawe motherboard for huawei p8 lite ale-l21 (2015) duo sim and i will get huawei lite p8 ale-l21 single sim without bord... Will motherbord from dual sim can't stand in huawei lite p8 ale-l21 single sim phone? Please do you know?

  • have this phone since 2015 dropped it a million times. droped it from my pocket while driving.. now I threw it on the wall , scree bottom wright corner shattered till mid and digitizer seems to fail at the top 1/3 pf the screen, metal frame is broken in multiple places and still wprks xD. when I put it in my pocket and vends digitizer stops working properly so I punch it few times till phones flat and works imperfectly :). dispite the random lags on messenger and a lil bit of low performance still works fine 4/3g seem to work well enough, wifi not the best but in comparison with Samsung galaxy alpha g850f its night n day.. alpha had the worst connection to 4g wifi from all the phones ive ever got.. now im gonna get a honor 10 64gb for 170€, maybe repair this one and keep it as backup (bad thing the battery seems to drain fast after 2 years since I purchased it) it was an honest phone and worth the price. if honor 10 gets to be like this in terms of performance and longevity( dont expect to sustain impacts like p8lite 2015) for sure im gonna be a long time Huawei consumer/fanboy same as I was with HTC till they fcked up....

  • No

  • Thanks, I really really apriciate this but the phone is now to its owner. Helpful tho!

  • Is it waterproof?

  • had no problems with my huawei p8 lite for 2 years, all of a sudden one day wifi wouldnt connect. poof.....gone, never to be seen again and no one could tell me why.

  • I accidentally installed P8 Lite android marshmallow rom update on my Honor 4C. It shows P8 Lite model number in settings. How can I remove wrong rom and install Honor 4C rom? Please help.

  • It used to work perfectly well. Then I made this upgrade a long time ago, and wifi became a distant memory. Didn´t bother me to much, since I only needed it for chrome-casting. Then I wasn't able to send mms, and made another upgrade.. tried full reset and so forth. Still cannot even connect to any operators network anymore.

  • 3 years old next month. Battery started discharging quickly 2 weeks ago. With phone off battery discharges from 100% to 3%-4% within 2-3 hours. Replaced battery and problem still there Very slow to operate now and screen sometimes goes black. Time for new.

  • Like many stated, even after 4 years it's still good with battery. I only screwed microUSB port but it's my fault. I just replaced it for a bigger screen smartphone. But I will keep it as a second device, P8lite really deserved it! 4 years, still going strong, I never had a phone that lasted that long.

  • Almost 4 years! Still going strong, its great to use as a 4g wifi or usb hotspot, can see movies in at 60fps. Everything works as it should, the battery still drains fast especially in 4G but with a booster it's all good.

  • Same here, I have this phone for almost 4 years and dropped it 30+ time on all kinds of surfaces, still works good!

  • I'm using my p8lite phone since 2016 ang I'm still using it. I dropped my phone many times and it's still working. Good camera.. All products has it's own flaws so as huawei p8lite but still I love this phone..

  • Look up your consumer rights, I bet you that's nor accurate.

  • What can I do my FM radio and Bluetooth doesn't work properly?

  • when I bought it, I thought it's just a cheaper phone, now after 4 years, it's a great phone!!

  • Like the phone but but but Wi-Fi chip is shit. Died after 5 months. Huawei replaced mb. Died again in another 5 months. This time Huawei said only guarantee first repair for 3 months. Wtf is this company about. Thousands on internet have same problem. I replaced MB myself with one bought on eBay. Cost $50. I think Wi-Fi hotspot causing problem so I don't use than now and phone is still ok. HUAWEI shit company. Glad they are in trouble all over world. Apparently they use their own Wi-Fi chip. In Malaysia and spore they are giving 2 year guarantee. Good idea.

  • best phone i ever had

  • It has wifi and 4g supported, its working good... it also has reasonable price.

  • Don't listen to the comment. This phone has wifi and 4g.

  • its a dumb not a smartphone....how can u not have wifi seriously?

  • Yes, in Indonesia region also cost much, it was 80% of new Huawei P8lite price. I gave up using that Huawei phone. Fail product.

  • Just hold the volume down button and power button for 5 secs and it will show the format screen

  • This phone has an interesting problem, although it's an Octa-Core Processor, all the cpu status apps show that only 4 Cores are used, even at full load.

  • Oops, motherboard cost as same as new phone. I already purchased Xiaomi phone ( A2 lite ) and I can say it's incredible comparing with it's price ( 170 $ ) , it's battery hold for 24h with heavy usage!

  • I found a phone like this, Huawei P8 Lite, in the courtyard of my school and handed it to my teacher. I did not, but my colleagues forced me. The phone was in the mud and still worked because it had a waterproof case. I wiped it off with a napkin. It was muddy because in my town it was long and there is usually ground. Mud because the snow melted a little. Unfortunately, it had a PIN, and I could not unlock it. I gave the swam that it was a girl that had a wallpaper with hearts and writes "love". This is the story of an unfortunate P8 Lite.

  • Maybe you were lucky. My Huawei P8lite and other users experience very bad of this phone. WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS gray out in the option, so I couldn't open WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Fail product for my opinion.

  • my huawei phone has been great since i got it 3 years ago, fell down and now not responding at all

  • The comments praising this phone... Omegalul This piece of crap lags on Facebook LITE.

  • I have been using this phone for last 3 years, it is still working the same, battery, processor, touch, netwroking all great. Although I think the camera pixel has faded a little bit but not that much. Since i m recommending Huawei to people. I personally bought 4 Huawei phones for family and friends. P8 lite built that trust.

  • very good phone,battery is good,fast charging,dosnt drain so fast,very fast and extra camera! Only 131g...perfect phone!Next year ill buy P9 lite.

  • I think your phone is bad. Huawei have the best camera smart phone.

  • All my family member uses this phone and they say its the best phone ever

  • Is there a good Huawei phone? I don't think so! I think when it comes to cell phones Huawei must be rated the worst!

  • Should go to Huawei Service Center, replace motherboard.

  • Yes, bad phone. I no longer use any Huawei phone again.

  • You can't the phone should be brought to Huawei Service Center to be fixed by replace motherboard.

  • I was, also experienced the same problem, it was motherboard malfunction.

  • How to convert dual to single sim?can explain?

  • Best phone ever

  • i got an a p8 lite as my experience the phone is good its handy the color is attractive good battery for a day camera good i have this for almost a year i can bring this to any place

  • WIfI and Bluetotth stopped to work. No solution, no official help, no workaround. Shit

  • Great smartphone, I've been using for 3 years now, very satisfied, the display doesn't strain my eyes

  • My mobile is not register through pat please help me

  • The phone is really bad. Please do yourself a favor and NOT GET THIS PHONE! This really has to be THE worst phone I've ever used.

  • Now after the mobile update, the transport system is not doing

  • I agree

  • My humbly and honestly opnion is about this phone is that, if u have a upgraded software then u will not face any issue, I am using this phone half a year. and I am totally satisfied,, its performance is good , battery is good , some things which I missed which is OTG support. memory card slot should have another instead of putting where we put our nano sim ,, so by design its soo attractive , looking in hand so very nice..

  • my experience on this phone was good and bad. The phone design looks and functionality was amazing. the camera and battery life and wifi issues were shocking. This annoyed me,as at the time i didnt have a lot of money to get a decent phone. so this was a bargain. the camera was bland and colourless. the battery life was few hours. on a good. day. maybe it was faulty phone. but the wifi would drop. and not connect all the time. shame it looked good and priced good. just poor phone.

  • LWMTSherieWinters873 what a good phone guys!! loved it 111

  • Why waste money on a phone which is going to give you problems. This must be one of the worst phones on the market. If it's not Wi-fi that's giving you problems, then it is Bluetooth or the battery. It updates apps even though the settings states no automatic updates. Do yourself a favour, stay away from this phone, i guarantee you, you are going to get major problems, maybe not at first, but eventually it's going to happen.

  • MatthewTracy405 My p8 lite won't connect to the Wifi , not even turn it on, same for bluethooth

  • i have a p8 lite i forget patern for access to my phone. i need data in phone . please help me. thanks

  • Oh dear O_O , but I guess it's software issue because the wi-fi is still working but the Bluetooth is not

  • You will need a wifi-bluetooth chip to be changed. Does not worth it if course, the cost is at about 90-130€

  • After 2,5 years the wifi-bluetooth chipset went of, the battery as well. Total repair cost at 170€ 😅

  • Thanks

  • My Bluetooth keeps switching off when I turn it on !! what to do ?

  • to fix that go to dislpay then tap on the sleep option and then chose 15 seconds

  • Hi I would like to know how do I lock my screen it's doesn't lock anymore used to be locked within 15 or second now it's on one way. Thank you

  • Hi I am using this phone 3yrs ago,I like this phone very much,No complaints.many times this phone fallned nothing happened.And the performance also good,

  • Hi I am using this phone 3yrs ago,I like this phone very much,No complaints.many times this phone fallned nothing happened.And the performance also good

  • hello.friends i have using this phone since 5 month and it was the worst phone ever because it always go hang on.i was too bored of using this and also it doesn't give another Upgradeable version also.and it also have back camera problem.friends don't buy this one.its waste of money only.you can get better one in a cheeper price than this one.

  • Please can I insert pen drive in my phone using a converter

  • Please give us a new upgrade which have privacy(guest) mode.. it was seriously awsome..

  • Would not recommend this phone - after 18 months it has screen freeze etc. Was told that I had to upgrade the software but that there have been issues with this particular model and will have to take it in myself to Huawei in Canal walk - Vodacom who sold me the phone take no resposibility

  • There is way better for less money. Dont buy this one

  • After 1 year of use, I had problems with the monitor. :(

  • Bro it is a normal issue in this smartphone unfortunately when this problem appears you must change the wifi band because it has stupdly broked himself

  • Wi-Fi works perfectly fine.. it just doesn't support the 5GHz band, so that may be your problem.

  • Before upgrading software you have to reset the phone first

  • I do not recommend this phone. i have a problem with the WiFi. it does not even connect or pick up. other than that the phone is ok.

  • I updated android version 4 to 6. after installation its not unlock ith my old password

  • Upgrade it to marshallow............

  • sorry it is currently not available .it is upgradable to the marsemallow

  • i have the same problem...

  • Dude u judged Huawei from a 2015 entry level phone. Of course it will be bad for the 2018 standards. Buy a 2018 model or even a 2017, they are still good. I'm using the P8 Lite 2017 version and it's amazing.

  • I don't recommend it.at first it was a good phone, but after a couple years it works poorly.heats from nothing, gives me heat errors and a code to write.if I write it, it turns off.I accidentally dropped the phone, and theres no sound for almost 2 years now.battery very bad, sometimes the phone doesn't even charge, or better stays at 85% and loses 15% at once.Keyboard is horrible.I don't know how many times I've accidentally put a .com instead of space. Basically at first the phone is great, but later its horrible.I don't recommend it. 3/10

  • At first it was a normal phone but after few weeks I noticed that it started lagging and restarting out of nowhere. Sound quality is very low. Battery is kind of good. I would give 2/5 points for this phone. Never gonna use huawei again it's just not worth it.

  • P lite - Freezes,, flicks out of apps, poor quality during calls. Worst phone phone ever had yet reviews were great. Left in for service. Nothing wrong with it apparently was told they are prone to those things.

  • can i upgrade to android version 7 on this phone

  • Hello I have been using this phone with lollipop. Can someone send me the link to download mashmallow on it.

  • how is the price of huawei p8 lite battery please tell me

  • i use from last 1 year but a lot of peoples have problem face with this mobile P8 lite. wifi is available but not connect with router. and a lot of person have this problem. if some one know about this problem to solve plz reply me i am very off sad about this.....

  • I have a problem. When talking the other side barely hears, I sound far away. I read it's a problem with the P8 Lite. How do you solve it? I tried restarting (temporary solution), blow the mic.

  • Really? What is your comparison for the camera statement? To me it makes worse pictures than the Samsung Galaxy S3...

  • My p8 lite 2015 works fine its a very good smartphone camera very good#clear just ask me if u dnt know this phone don't bad mouth this phone its one of the best smartphones around and affordable#huawei fan

  • My first Huawei P8lite, went missing! I replaced with same model. I cannot for the life of me find the ‘microphone’ sign in order to voice text messages!!! It was there on my previous phone but I just cannot find it now - anyone know how to do this, I am non ‘techy’ .....

  • Does the p8 lite have voice awareness?

  • Is P8 lite or y7 prime better?

  • I use this phone for 1-2 years. (lost count) This phone performed well. But the battery is the MAIN WEAKNESS. Youtube: The highers resolution that this phone can give is 720p and 360p 30f/s Gaming: 2-3 hours. and can get very hot. Better play in air-con room. I can play Mobile Legend in Classic Mode for 5-8 times. Strong build. i means REALLY REALLY STRONG. Quite slippery to hold. Gorrila glass 3 really doing its job. Audio: REALLY LOUD.

  • no otg. only available in the 2017 version

  • This phone performs very, very well against Samsung's mid-range phones. The only thing that this phone sucks is battery life. I have bought it 3 years ago and it make his daily tasks flawlessly even today

  • Is this phone support OTG CABLE

  • so guys after a month of having my p8 lite i can say its a awsome phone good in gaming(shortens battery fast)lekka picture quality for a budget mid range this one ticks all boxes no gyroscope active in this one but do one really care acurate google maps nd updates if u just use it for normal day to day calls the battery does last a whole day if u do gaming like maybe two hours worth and call and keeps it on wifi from 5am to 18pm it got abt 20percent to 30 max left.a very trustworthy phone indeed very happy i got this one

  • Had the phone for 2 years, still running strong, i am so impressed with this phone its so awesome!

  • I have had my P8lite for 2 years and mostly love it. The main problem I have is that the battery does not seem to last. I did a software update back to factory settings and still seem to be having the same problem. I've had this problem since I got it.

  • hi guys i had this phone for two weeks it out runs alot of other phones no pep phone can touch this exellent back camera not bad front only trueth is battery isnt for heavy gaming but it gets u through a day on wifi and bit of gaming here and there

  • My wife has it for two years and no problems with p8 lite. Even now after 3 years after release its still getting security updates. Wow, just wow.

  • you can update it by seeking a bit in the forums, probably you got a Operator version, try flash with an International version of your OS your last Update is Android M 6.0.1

  • most people here are bought to lie about this phone, yes it is mid-range but it's better than most phones. been using it for nearly two years it's still works perfectly. don't listen to apple agents, just spreading lies.

  • Lies Do not buy Apple products they are substandard for premium prices

  • Anyone wondering if you should buy this phone... DON'T. App and game developers begin to stop support for this device and you won't be able to run games you did ( you won't be able to update them) You're way better off with an iPhone 6 or an SE. They have OpenGL ES 3.1 support too, while this phone has only 2.0

  • why is p8 lite better than y6 is it better than y6 pro?

  • Have u tried tracking it through location service's o google/Report stolen. Or if u can't request Google to format it so that these thieves can't access your data.

  • This was by far my most trusted phone, it lasted 2 years for me and I think it'll last until I finish college unfortunately it was stolen from me yesterday. I could say that it was a great phone, I wasn't expecting much from it but through it all I was really satisfied with it. It surpassed a lot of incidents, it was submerged into water, fell quite a lot from my hands but nevertheless it was still functioning great. I do regret that it was lost and I am still hoping to find it.

  • Nice phone. I used for one and half year. No errors.perfect working.nice look. Weakness are-Low battry life after about one year Low camera qulity (coloure).

  • If someone wants to surfe internet or Gaming more than 9hrs per day, Please dont buy this device.

  • there are reasons depending on your phone, 1. the phone uses 3rd party OS. 2. just try with wifi after reset your phone.

  • just reset the device and do update os via wifi (after reset your phone wifi will work fine)

  • great, me too

  • just reset the device and do update os via wifi (after reset your phone wifi will work fine)

  • after 2.5 years Wifi isnt working anymore, and 4G is very weak. probably end of this era XD

  • Hi I'm Using this Phone About 1.5years it's working perfectly I have upgrade it 6.0 also perfect phone No issues

  • how do i turn on the dual sim settings

  • My wifi option doesnt turned on...

  • Mahdi you should visit their customer care center and ask them to update your device for you. Thanks !

  • I have a problem. I have this phone ( android5.1). android 6 not come for my phone. (build number: ALE-L21C185B200). when i can upgrade my android???

  • Pretty good device.

  • How can the wifi and Bluetooth problem be fixed..? Please help

  • Straight after warranty expires wireless and bluetooth died - Battery is a litlebit too short

  • the battery sucks bad after 8 months it'll give up on you... worse it's inbuilt 🙅🙅🙅

  • why usb not connecting?working ????

  • This is the worst phone ever! It freezes too often and the camera doesn't work properly - 19 out of 20 times it takes more than 30 seconds to make a photo with it and don't get me started when you want to switch from front to back camera or the other way - mission impossible! Do not buy this shitty phone!!

  • I have this phone about 3 months, it worked perfectly, opening apps instantly ( Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, this are the apps that I frequently use), multitasking worked perfectly too but then problems started... every time when 10-15 days pass phone just slowdown, in fact, when touching the app icon (Facebook, Instagram ) it opens app window instantly but then the white screen appears and it took 3-4 sometimes 8-9 seconds to app interface appears and it could be very annoying... the interesting thing is that when restarting the device or wiping cash from recovery mode solves the problem but temporarily for 10 days again...thas anyone have the same problem? Sorry for bad English tnx

  • Is the best phone i have ever seen slim s mart and strong battery I have no problem with it since i have been using it serve me better

  • its a pretty decent phone problem is that there is a certain delay when I touch certain and the response with the system. So its a really shitty phone to be texting or writing something

  • Same happened with me as with Anonymous - at 21 months - boom, mac address, ip, bluetooth address UNAVAILABLE thus no wifi (greyed out). Really upset.

  • That was, why I resold my P8lite, because those problem, Bluetooth grey out, WiFi grey out, GPS not accurate/something. Yes, I also conclude this phone has defective problems.

  • After a few month Bluetooth and WiFi does not works and battery backup is not good...

  • Dont celebrate yet. At exactly 23 months when i thought P8 lite is the best, boom, wifi and bluetooth stopped working. Hardware problem. Not less than R3000 to fix.

  • Warranty covers that

  • vonerable, bad experince just after 14 month wifi ,bluetooth gone I will never buy any Huawei even it is made of gold.More bad company knows this defect even the repair cost Rs 8500,who foolish will get repair at this price۔

  • You have to replace the Wifi/Bluetooth chip, but i do not know if they are now sold in SA. I saw it once on Ebay but they said deliveries not available for SA.

  • To me Huawei P8 Lite is a never never again. Battery is dead and costs R1000-00 rands to repair ( because it comes with the LCD, that's what they said) at the Huawei Shop in Canal Walk Mall in Cape Town, South Africa. WiFi and Bluetooth died aged ago, and they said they need to replace the motherboard for a whopping R1700-00, so all in all R2700-00 to repair the phone, that I bought in September 2016 on contract. Warranty is over and warranty for repairs is 3 months. #neverbuyhuawei

  • Will the p8 lite be upgraded to Android 7 and above?

  • PERFECT smartphone, I use it almost 2 years & there are no main problems. When slows down, I restart it & there are no problems.

  • P10 lite is better

  • you are a lier. don't lie to others phone is perfect Huawei gives updates at perfect time. :-D

  • I am also waiting . .

  • this mobile is not suit for the hevy gamers

  • Phone is best except hevy gamers

  • P8 lite better than Y6

  • so good bye forever...

  • do update

  • yes totally agreed with you except hevy gamers

  • yes quality is superb

  • do factory reset. & never install apps outside of apps store

  • Hey Ali,Huawei doesn't support OTG because they don't want to or I don't know

  • My phone wifi and bluetooth is not working... kindly advice for fixing it

  • is this phone good for recording using the front camera?? is the quality good

  • Security patches (especially the Android Security Patches from August and September 2017) are really important.

  • Why do you want update, what's so new and important?

  • it depends on how you use it .this phone is so good there's no problem on using this phone ..

  • the phone update ussually its suppose to be fast all of a sudden its slow and my wifi and bluetooth no longer work how do i fix the issue huawei p8 lite

  • good phone but i want updates...new os

  • how to otg

  • Why my huawei p8 lite didn't connect to wifi and also it cannot find some wifi connection.

  • I agree, same here

  • Same here dude.its ic complaint. I claimed warranty one but it occurred again

  • No any updates for the phone up till now.

  • Wifi issue in p8 lite

  • I am not getting any upgrades on P8Lite 5% less message keep appearing while typing, what does it mean? what is it when updating an app phone restarts it self?

  • thought i would try the p8 lite. 13mp camera,8 core processor ect. was happy at first and then came the depression. the bloody wifi. hundreds of other customers having the same problem huawei no comment fixed it the first time but then 3 days out of warrenty wont fix it again. they only guarantee their repairs for 3 months. i have already had 2 motherboards why would i buy another with 3 month warranty. - me not stupid NO MORE huawei FOR ME and go back to china where you belong.

  • yes ofcourse p8 has a finger print sensor with 13 mp back camera you huys can complain but p8 is much better than j1 or j5

  • The worst I've ever had. Slow, can hardly read because the font size is ridiculous. Plus android is a terrible OS. I have to re start it twice a day just to connect.to my home wifi. An absolute garbage

  • Well, battery is kinda okay, if 5hrs SOT is good for you and a better performance then P8 Lite is the one

  • Hi, what is the problem with the battery. I have to buy a phone and I was thinking about P8 Lite and Y6.

  • I hate the camera. In my opinion, it takes horrible pictures. Mostly in front camera. It also makes colors clearer. I remember I once took a picture of a very orange drink... in the picture it was yellow... (sorry for my bad English?). The rest is ok to me...

  • Good phone, bur very bad battery

  • Just got this phone. Love it!

  • Wtf? This phone no problem for gaming. I think you are not smart for smartphone

  • I had using my P8 lite since 2016, the phone is perfect with all features and have to say that this never had lag during my use. Does anyone know the release date of nougat for p8 lite

  • in 2017, don't buy this phone as a teen or someone who uses their phone for multi-tasking or gaming. this is a perfect phone for normal day users or just people who want a trusted company that has cheap phones.

  • I really love this phone good perfomance, Camera, Audio and beautifull design the only problem is the battery life, It could have been better and wi-fi is a issue at times

  • the wifi sometimes misbehave

  • It took an OS update. From Lollipop to Marshmallow.

  • I had an update last week on my P8 lite :*

  • WIfi and bluetooth can mess up really. This is a major problem. Also Huawei have failed to offer an update to the OS. If you get the phone cheap, then it does the job but camera could be better.

  • Its just this phone...Go for P8 Lite 2017. I have it and it rocks! Its the best phone!

  • same happend to my one, I will never buy Huawei again

  • No, it does not. It is 2015 phone, finger print scanners started shipping in 2016 you should look for Huawei "P9 lite", "P10 lite" or "P8 lite 2017"

  • Guys please does it have finger print ?

  • I have this phone for about a month and the MM update still hasn't come. I have the B216 version... Anyone knows why?

  • No, it already took 1 OS update (Marshmallow). Huawei usually gives 1 OS update on mid range smartphones.

  • Do you think we're getting Nougat update ?

  • Does allow to move apps to de SD card?

  • I think it performs better than my Samsung S6. I love. I assume the Micro sd slot of 128 gb can be in one card

  • battery sucks

  • This phone have a hardware problem on WiFi and Bluetooth antenna, it happens to me and when surf on the internet I find a lot of people suffering from the same problem

  • This phone functions reasonably well. It is fast has a good battery life, good camera. However the hardware inside is very poor,the wifi, antenna keeps breaking so wifi and Bluetooth don't work. Also, screen isn't very durable it cracks even when I drop it on carpet. Great budget phone, it it doesn't last long

  • I bought these phone(p8 lite) 2 years ago. It function well until now, its just that the battery is so damn disappointing. I would charged it before I sleep but when i woke up (sometimes) 10% has been used. At first, it was just 10-20% but now it goes up to 50%. Whyyy Huwei? Why??

  • using it for two months now. i hate android, but my lumia got kicked in a slam at music festival and now I have this amazing phone, happy that I took huawei. it haves so many useful fueatures, it's UI was modified and it's confortable to use, not like simple android interface maybe the battery drains fast, can't say that less that any. but c'mon: I have activated all it's features + downloaded some from store some I needed + I deactivated all "smart" andoid things, like those, that "help me" conserve battery and all my apps can run in background and do what they want... and amazing customization it gives me it's a nice phone. huawei upgraded android, made it almost workable I think that there is a user problem in the most negative comments about this phone, not related to the phone

  • Installing the right firmware update will make the phone works better and improve performance and battery life, the BALONG bug its the major cause of battery poor life u can Lose 50% overnight

  • woww! this is incredible mobile.. stylish, simple, & etc.. I like the mobile..

  • I have this phone for about 2 weeks and the update to Android 6 still hasn't come..

  • Just upgrade to Android 6, good phone, and cheap, about 100euros now :)

  • Could you possibly just be bad with phones? Huawei phones are so far the best out there. Instead of trying to impress us with one amazing thing, a good camera for example, they balance it all so the phone would work properly.

  • worst phone i had got hot very fast bad screen bad cameras bad build quality with the bezel chipping in the first week and the worst battery i have ever seen DONT BUY!!

  • Do not buy this, or any other Huawei phone, its just not worth the money, and they die too fast. This is my 5th phone and im waiting for it to die so i can get my money back. From the begining of the year, year 2017, five, not one, but FIVE Huawei phone have died in my possetion. Sent a email to customer support, and the reply was quote "Learn how to use our products". One thing i need to mention is that i am not the only one with this problem, i know 10 more people who made the mistake with buying a Huawei phone, but they endes there problems by sending them where they should be, in the trash. Buy an LG or Samsung, buy a Nokia 3310 for all i care, but dont waste your money on these chinese rejects.

  • might b battery I got it 1st p8 lite its fine

  • Try update to marsmallow & factory reset again. If not solved.. Try open backcase (find in yutub "howto open"). My phone now can connect wifi again

  • Hey guys does the battery last long?

  • The battery is low capacity, it will run out of juice quickly.

  • This phone in latin-america have problems with the wi-fi. Dont buy this phone

  • Hello everyone. I just bought p8lite yesterday evening time. When I woke up in the morning it's 50% already. Is it really like that or what? From 100% to 50% for 6 hrs without using? Need ur opinion pls

  • P8 Lite or Xiaomi Redmi 4a?

  • OK

  • Unfortunately not. YT: Tech Forward

  • OK.

  • is this phone support usb otg?

  • not yet but sooner

  • any news about Nougat for this phone?

  • you can see them in notification panel.

  • How to update

  • the tray for the sim is quite small how do i insert 2 sims ?

  • If you want to update android 6.0 marshmallow on Huawei P8 Lite download:

  • Sure thing, there are tutorials on YouTube how to do it if you don't want to pay extra charge for a phone servicer to do that. Just be careful and use the right tools.

  • The phone is very good and durable but the warranty services provided in Uganda Specifically is pure Rubbish .

  • Yes, it does. It uses two separate SIM cards so unless a mobile operator locks the phone then you will only be able to use two SIMs from the same mobile operator which defeats the purpose of a dual SIM phone.

  • As far as I know yes, but my cell phone company doesn't allow dual sim under my current contract. Maybe you just have to make sure if it's allowed first.

  • can we use 2 sim in this mobile?

  • The wifi suddenly died after a year of use. Huawei never more.

  • Mine has it even on the back ;) And WiFi+ too

  • Take the cabel from the charger, plug it in the USB on PC and press "Exchange files", then just copy/paste pictures when folder from Huawei opens...

  • How do I download my photos on my phone to my Computer?

  • My Huawei P8lite doesn't sync well with my new Hyundai 2 car. It's very hit and miss. Any ideas?

  • As well, I saw a mistake in the review. You CAN effectively hide apps. Just zoom in when the phone is unlocked and no apps are running and you can add which app you want to hide. Swipe from below the notification bar to search for apps, contacts or messages. Zoom out and you can pick multiple apps to be moved to another homescreen. Huawei HAS put an effort in this one as it has features of its flagship phones. And yes, mine has WiFi+.

  • To the rookies on this page, there are articles online and read a few about what problems you experience. Also , buy your mobile phones from trusted sources, I got mine from T-Mobile and even though it's been 2 years since it was produced it does its best, by just tweaking a few things. Google is your friend for real

  • my phone batry life in very bad... i want change batry.. i can??

  • Please help me. How can I find out if mine is a bad version? P8 Lite is said to be a good phone, but I have so many issues with it.

  • Bro, buy a PS4 for games.

  • It's an Android OS, a custom modified version of the official one. There are many custom roms for this phone which include Nougat as well :)

  • Well, I had experience with older phones and they needed root, now just unlock bootloader and install TWRP/CWM via adb and tadaa

  • Agree with you,bought it two weeks ago and even though it's made 2 years ago getting a new one is a big plus. Love it

  • Please be aware that the P8 Lite does not support OTG or MHL and it only has a basic accelerometer without a gyroscope so head turning in VR will be hugely in-accurate.

  • My p8lite running with emui 4.0.3

  • Best mobile....in my whole life. .i bought it in 2015 november. . Since now it's working great.....we don't need and wait for an official update through our mobile settings...because we can upadate it through firm update software. U can get this software in play store ....now my p8lite. Works in...Emui 4.0.3 update. . ..if huawei release nougat for this mobile ....first ever mobile to do with this kind of chipset ......still i'm praying for new updates.......best ever budget mobile.....in mobile technology........

  • what is a custom rom??????

  • You do not need root to run custom roms, just a custom recovery like TWRP. Google is your friend :)

  • How did you root it? I didn't succeed with Kingroot. I unlocked the bootloader though. My brother has the Huawei Y5 II which runs Lollipop and it never heats, so the 6.0 update is what we go tricked on.

  • This is an amazing phone for its price, but with the 6.0 android it drains much more battery and heats up a little more often. But i decided to now install a custom rom on it so hope that will be much better :D

  • I bought it 3 days ago. My thoughts are that the Marshmallow update was a big mistake. It heats up a little (to around 40 degrees Celsius) when playing games or using it longer when outside. The focusing of the camera is the only thing that is kinda bad but I love the double press on the volume down key which takes a pic in 1-1,5 sec while screen is off. Speed - no complaints, anyone can confirm this.

  • Its a great phone, but they are some bad versions. Be carefull.

  • Good phone. Going strong after almost 2 years... - Strong battery life, lasts me 2-3 days. - Play cpu intensive games no problem, does overheat after playing Dream League Soccer for a while. -Camera is okay, not the best. Samsung cameras much better. - Hard plastic design surprisingly strong. - Better memory compared to Samsung.

  • Overheating all the time

  • Best phone in the world.... I never had any problems with it. I am using Huawei for the past 6 years. My first mobile phone was Huawei Ascend G525... It still works perfectly, Since then I use only Huawei Branded Mobile Phones. I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE

  • wow i love dis device

  • Have had this phone for few months. The best low budget android phone in the market, about 100€ and its working very well, had no lags, no errors, emui version is 4.03 and os is 6.0 currently. got 3 years warranty and it does everything without problems. Hotspot, wifi, 4g, games, applications, gps, just everything works as well as my old phone, wich was sony's z1 flagship model few years back. (wich died just few months after warranty voided) so, why pay hundreds of bucks more for phone when this one works just as well?

  • Typical bad quality Chinese phone. Speaker quality is terrible.

  • Warranty , bruh. T-Mobile da boss

  • WORST MOBILE PHONE EVER! SUCH WASTE OF MONEY! cca.3 months after purchase its WIFI STOPPED WORKING. It recognises networks but can't connect and keeps saying network access denied. I have put in the correct password, I have done the hard reset to factory settings, tried every possible advice found on net, safe mode, even plugging headphones for FM and other nonsense but nothing helped... hard reset did for an hour or so and then again nothing.. if its a hardware problem and I have to change the motherboard and pay service too I will rather buy some other phone but never again this disapointing Huawei..

  • one of the best phones

  • This is the truth I had a j5, its better in some ways/ Camera is better especially with the amoled screen and a 1.9 aperture, screen is better , also the battery was amazing. Unfortunately it got stuck in a bootloop. I now have p8Lite it's a good phone faster, battery is alright, memory is better, can play GTA games without lag, but the screen seems on the dull side, design is better, speaker is louder also then the j5.

  • Mine is Indonesian version. Marsmallow update, the camera is more good result then lollipop. And the UI more smooth. But battery ampere 2000mAH is low, that can not hold for long usage. Hardware is bad, my board was replaced once. Now getting weird for wifi. My solution is open backcase to loose flexible cable will solve wifi not connect

  • Maybe you stupid. At the top is 2nd mic, 1st mic at the bottom..

  • Well, i'm gonna say whoever designs this phone is a pure stupid. Why the f--- would they put microphone on TOP?!

  • I am sorry to hear that. So it is true, this phone is not good as users think. You experience yhe WiFi grey out again after 1 year used and changed motherboard.

  • Nope, the battery works very fine and this phone has great performance in all its specs.

  • Wont waste my time with a Huawei again. First 6 months the phone died completely and had to go in and the PC board was changed. A year later the WIFI, Bluetooth and Radio does not work and the phone only comes with a year warranty. Very disappointed

  • got the phone for 1 and half year. in the first 6 months it went in in and the PC board was changed. now a year later the WIFI, Bluetooth, Radio is just greyed out and does not work.

  • Is Huawei P8 Lite better than Samsung Galaxy j5? I know it's faster and the camera it's better. But my concern is the battery, since is not replaceable, this can cause over-heating or charging problems? I use my cellphone in daily-basis, like internet browsing and messaging, does the battery usage still good for more than a day or so without charging? Cheers!

  • Been using this phone for almost 2 years. Extensively. No lags, no issues or inconveniences of any sort. Praising P-series

  • I have a p8 lite dont like it because when you ring people you can hear your own voice when answering a call

  • I need help! I cant watch any videos from my phone p8lite even on facebook and youtube it say! Cant play this video.

  • It really depends on what you are doing, if you use the phone for simple apps like whatsapp facebook instagram snapchat etc. there wil be no problems, in my expierence with this phone i encounterend zero lag, zero freezes, no problems, i don't have any games installed, so the phone might warm up while playing games, but that's something all phones do, the 13 megapixel camera is absolute stunning, the EMUI huawei skin on top of android 6.0 is like flawless, i use the preinstalled phone manager to clean cach and optimize it, no need of clean master or other stuff, i bought mine a couple weeks ago, it was on lollipop but had a update instantly to marshmallow, i bought mine for 166 euros, and well, it's worth it. Its cheap for what you can expect for it, screen is nice and shiney. So, i recommend it! Battery life is personal i can get through a day easily, i don't have facebook or instagram or social media like that, only whatsapp. so i dont have much apps wich will eat my battery, and have automatic sync off brightnness automatic as low as possible, it really gets the job done, so yeah that's my experience with this divice, i hope you got enough information. Goodnight

  • I'd like experienced users to reply asap. Does this phone have heating issues? How long does the battery last? Does is lag? Audio quality? Are cameras good? I'm in doubt should I buy this one from T-Mobile, please reply me fast

  • It was emui 4.1 dunno why it took 1.74GB

  • I think its an Android 6.0 upgrade.

  • You said that your phone bends in your back pocket and then you straighten it??? :P

  • I have this phone, i am not a super user. The phone looks good. It has good camera. I use only a few apps and it doesn't freze too much using youtube an FB. The battery is under dimensioned i charge it every day. I don't like that is very sensitive as hardware. I put it in the back pocket of my jeans and after 20min of bus ride it was visible bent and it had no sound on the phone until i straighten it back

  • app locks not working in my phone....

  • Bluetooth was working, so what did you mean? I didn't get it. I never try hotspot, my phone was grey out on Bluetooth adn WiFi.

  • My bluetooth is working.....and when I connect to hotspot from another mobile...it connects.... is there any solution??? its making me tensed

  • Today my huawei P8 lite has received a 1.74GB update I'm in UK it was already on Emui 4.0 and android 6.0 anyone know what it is?

  • I had sold my Huawei P8lite more than 5 months ago, the malfunction disease made me frustation.

  • The malfunction disease had happened to your device. My P8 lite black also experienced the same, Bluetooth and WiFi were grey out, couldn't be activated again. The solution is only take to Huawei Service Center, your motherboard's phone will be changed. Make sure it still warranty, if not, they can charge you for 50% fee of new Huawei P8lite price.

  • Hi .... I have bought Huawei P8 Lite around 18 months ago ... Everything was going fine .. but recently wifi is not working.... other mobiles are connected to wifi but not mine....I tried i another wifi..still no solution... Then I reset my mobile by doing (restore factory setting). yet I cant get access to wifi... all the genius out there ...just help me solve this problem....

  • Anyone have problems with mobile connection on the p8 lite? Not referring to WiFi! Just simply logging into apps. I've handed my phone in to my service provider. They gave me a refurbished phone (as per company policy) with the exact Same problem. I took the phone back and was given a brand new phone with the exact Same problem! Don't know what to futuro anymore? By trying to log on to an app I get msgs like: unable to connect. Please check that you are connected r to the internet and try again.

  • my wifi dies after 5-6 month. huawei fixed it once but now huawei wont fix it any more and they say that they only guarantee their service for 3 months. if you have one sell it. the internet is full of peolple with same problem. with a warranty like that dont buy it.!!!

  • Been using this for 1 year and 6 months without any single problems, suddenly my WiFi couldn't even on and found out its a common problem for this version of the phone after visiting the service centre and research from the net. Guess its time to change brand.

  • I've had this phone for 2 years now. Still working great. The battery is draining fast now though I think it's my fault. Hahaha I love it. No problem at all

  • try downloading the official update from Huawei website and extract using Huawei update extractor and then flash using minimal adb and fastboot. You need to unlockunlock bootloader first

  • Dear bro!!! i also using this phone, more than 10 months ... i upgraded into Marshmallo 6.0 earlier in the week.... go to huawei official website .. search with ALE-L21 ... after download from the support option p8 lite dual sim firmware ... Totally official firmware .... No Problem in my phone at all.... it is working very well and fast ...

  • It wants a flash i mean hardrest aith computer

  • I have p8 lite for half a year now. It's in black colour which looks nice. Everything works good. I have android 6.0 and no problems. Camera is quite good, videos could be better. Runs most of games great. Only bad things are heating when gaming, battery needs to be charged every day and worst is - i hate that the lowest volume set is too loud, sometimes need switch to headphones when watching videos, because can't turn volume more down. But overall i can't complain about the phone and i would suggest it to others.

  • Yes me too had same prob after os upgrade.. I have did all the possibilities like wipe cache, system restore factory and even approved Huawei sales and service centre... no use.... After a week it automatically connected to WiFi, yesterday 30/Apr/17.. now I am using like earlier

  • I own this phone and I don't have any problems. It's pretty smooth, updated to 6.0, performance is good, no bugs, solid phone. However, it is heating pretty much when gaming...

  • Guys.. don't play with huawei phones.. I have tried manual updates on Samsung , Asus, Micromax..etc.[Succeeded] . Last time i tried manual update (marshmallow) on my huawei p8 lite. It was a big mistake.. My phone is dead.. It shows only a boot logo.. I googled for solutions..But Failed..

  • I am using this p8 lite more than 5 mos..i update to marshmallow after 3days wifi, Bluetooth, FM radio and gps not working. Make hard reset, rollback to lollipop still not working. Anybody have solution for this? Please help.

  • had p8 LTE for just over a year never had a problem every thing running smoothly, quick response had 3 apps running same time with no problem battery good but not the best last about 1.5 days with my normal use, never had a problem with wifi or Bluetooth, up dated EMUI and android took a while, seems to be running a little quicker overall a excellent phone good value for money would recommend this phone

  • My P8 lite also switches off during charging. I took it in and they told me to check latest updates. I updated last night and then reset the phone and put it on charge, at 78% it switched itself off again. It doesn't happen every time which is the annoying part. I will be taking it back for them to repair/replace as it is still under warranty.

  • im using it for a year,It is a cuple of shit the wifi not working its gone with the warrantee. I will never buy this shit seller again. It all the time freeze after a hard reset too whit no one aplication it can freez good job huawei its a nice phone to rubish

  • im using it for a year, never had any problems its the most reliable phone i ever had ( samsung, htc, lg) it is falling down almost every day without any case and still perfect

  • I have been using my p8 lite for nearly one year. Never had any problems with it, though in the last period it's turning to be a bit slower and crash down sometimes. Also the charge lasts less. But for its price is totally worth it and I would recommend it to everyone. Great phone at a little price!

  • It is mean you're luckly get P8lite device working well without any problem. Other users and my previous Huawei P8lite black was the same problem too like the others. After several some times used, the WiFi and Bluetooth were grey out, couldn't be activated anymore. GPS also seem wouldn't work again.

  • I have huawei p8 lite. And it's wifi has stopped working

  • i am using this mobile since one year but i have never ever found any fault and it is a great mobile according to every features.

  • Wifi an Bluetooth stopped working

  • Not a good buy. Wifi stopped working 5 months after purchase

  • I bought my self one & it's great...❤❤❤

  • P8 lite is a great phone

  • Been using this phone for a year now...but there's no problem with it at all. It's great.

  • Biggest issue for me is battery life. It can get too overheated699

  • Never had the issues you guy talk about with my p8lite 212

  • You can choose which SIM should do the 3G n 4G thing, meaning that, it can also be the micro SIM. Check it under settings, then Dual card management

  • yheeeeeeeee so der now say that the Huawei P8lite is one of the bst 4ns that technology has invented,i honestly wish i had 1 of dic devices even though im doing just amazing with my sum-sung 4n but still part of me wishes it had this incredible device. and to all those who already hv problems with da 4n yhoooo just hope that problems get solved asp ..................................miss d33malo was here............................................­.......

  • I have been using the P8 lite for the better part of the yea, I must say my wifi and bluetooth work perfectly I use wifi as a hotspot for my laptop and bluetooth to coonect to my sound system, it's on android marshmallow and on one charge it lasts me a day on normal usage which is some gaming and social networking its become a routine to charge it when I sleep, I would recommend it to anyone who wants a budget phone that can perform exceptionally

  • My Huawei P8lite black also experienced the same, it was malfunction disease. The solution is change motherboard, take it to Huawei Service Center.

  • Try restoring device using hiSuite on a pc. HiSuite is like samsung kies, But it's for huawei.

  • Overallno problem with the phone except afterthe battery is fully charged the phone swiches off. How do we rectify this?

  • Anyone can help me? My P8 lite wifi can't use at all, anyone have same issue? Plan to go to Hua Wei Centre at Pulau Tikus (only weekdays and only one shop in penang island). Thanks

  • My search engine is soooooooooooooooooooo slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, and the keyboard keeps disappearing. I use my mobile mainly for emails and playing card games. I have deleted many apps but feel I should be deleting some android apps but which ones. Grateful for any help.

  • check if is is on 6.0 maybe it auto update and u did not notice

  • i have a black version of the p8lite it has never been updated. how can i update software when i check it say no new updates for more than a year an a half

  • You can swap between, check SIM settings

  • I like this pbone,for me is that all i need....i have the dual sim active model.....camera is good,video recording is fine for me.it has 2gb ram i don,t need more,16 gb internal memory,in don't need more.it's 4g network,octa core procesor for high end games....

  • you have sulution now or no

  • how foolish thinking to make this phone! sim1 have only 2g and sim2 have 3g/4g with sd card slot too!! mean you cannot even use sim1 with sd card because you will also need 3g/4g!! either use two sims without sd card or sim1 with 2g and sd card... sucks

  • Different region would be different terms and conditions. In my region, Huawei Service Center Indonesia would be fix like this problem on their problem for free if the phone condition is locked when it is check by them. If the phone is unlocked, users should pay for the repairment.

  • Worst Battery life ever. Sent in to Huawei. 1 month later received the phone back. Battery life even worse. Sent back to Huawei. Still waiting for phone. What a waste!

  • I've been using this phone for over 1 and a half year now. haven't faced any problem so far ..I've white version tho.if you have software issue then update first and hard reset it as well ..

  • i did is nothing there

  • Go to emui/updater and check for updates

  • how to update p8 lite to. Android 6.0 marshmallow. i don't know how to do it plz help?

  • Hi, I have same problem too. It drives me crazy, I try everything to connect WiFi, but it doesn't work.

  • I have my huaweii p8lite for 10 months and out of the blue my WiFi and Bluetooth button doesn't want to switch on I tried reseting my phone ,nothing worked .I took it in to vodacom store and they told me i still have my warranty ,they charge me R1550 to fix it .. I just want to know why do we pay to fix it when its basically not our fault ...

  • U really dont understand all this negative comments. Had this phone for a year, 0 problems, best phone i had. Everything works perfectly , would highly recommend it. Tho p9 lite is cheaper now so maybe go for that if you want a new phone. Gf got p9 lite and its amazing as well. Huawei really outdone themselves with recent phones.

  • Hi! Comparing the p8 lite 2015/2016 to the bq aquaris u wich is better? Witch one would you recomend for me to buy now? both phones are around 200€ Thanks

  • Better avoid Huawei series, if you still persistent to buy Huawei phones, try to see Honor series. If not, go for other brand.

  • The story chronology is like this: I bought Huawei P8lite gold several months ago, there was a person who had Huawei P8lite black who would to exchange with my P8lite gold, he gives USD 20 if would like to change my P8lite gold with his P8lite black, because I need money at that time, I did. The P8lite black I use at that time (yes it was second hand) was OK, no problem, several days later, the disease coming, WiFi, Bluetooth and also GPS I noticed not working (WiFi and Bluetooth were grey color option, couldn't be activated). I went to Huawei Service Center, before they repaired my phone, he checked my phone status first, unlock or lock. My phone was diagnosed as unlocked phone, so the warranty couldn't be claimed (The Huawei P8lite was still has warranty). If I still would like to do repairment, I should pay for around USD 130. I cancelled at that time, and sold my P8lite.

  • I have it for 1year and i don't have any problem with it, it's the best phone i ever had.

  • I wanted to buy this phone but now when i read all this comments, don't want no more... Huawei why did you do this to me?

  • Do you still have have the warranty if so I don't see why they would charge you.

  • I have issues with Bluetooth and connectivity too. Without wifi my phone is useless. All i can do is send a whatsapp msg but can't even download an image from whatsapp.. Vodacom is willing to do a factory reset at R40 p/15min and they recon it will take about an hour. Alternatively I am told by them to send it in, at no cost. I doubt a reset is good enough. Does huawei charge you for a new motherboard when you take it there?

  • No wonder why huawei won't update this phone to 7.0 they know that they've sold defective phones especially WiFi issue this company is disgraceful can't wait until I get another phone certainly not a huawei one.

  • That was malfuncton disease appear on Huawei P8lite. My P8lite was the same, not only Bluetooth but also GPS and WiFi. Solution is change motherboard, take it to Huawei service center.

  • LTE: LTE2100 (B1), LTE1800 (B3), LTE2600 (B7), LTE900 (B8), LTE800 (B20).

  • Am having problems with my Bluetooth. I can't just receive or send something with my Bluetooth. I need solutions please.

  • I have tried that several times and it only shows WCDMA/GSM network modes. No 4G or LTE.

  • Is anyone having trouble with random black square boxes popping up on their P8 lite? Did you find a solution?

  • I been using my phone for a year now. No problems with Bluetooth Via Bluetooth Speaker, Watch, Windows 10 Laptop or cellphones. I have also updated my phone to Marshmallow and it's working even better then ever. My phone is faster especially response to apps. So I believe strongly that Huawei Phones are excellent phones. If you Abuse the phone, it will give you problems. Don't download unnecessary apps that will slow down your phone and download at least an Antivirus like Avast on the phone to keep viruses out of your phone. Do regular updates on your apps on playstore to ensure optimal performance on your phone. This phone is still in my opinion the best phone I've ever used

  • Yes same problem

  • How to upgrade 7.0

  • Nope

  • Will os be upgrading to android 7.0?

  • i just ask for huawei p8lite ,he cant trace the signal of wifi but he did not connect,,always say denIED acces NETWORK,,

  • i am using p8 lite but no problem in wifi connection workin well.

  • Phone is excellent other than the Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is very poor and always says "Denied access to network" or Network access denied". Better not to buy this P8 Lite.

  • For WiFi couldn't operate and Bluetooth malfunction, those problems freqeuntly appear among Huawei P8lite devices. The solution is to take the phone to Huawei Service Center, change motherboard.

  • Brilliant phone for the price tag. Only downfall is the slow wifi speed and lack of gyroscope sensor.

  • my huawei p8lite is not connecting any other device.like sharit.bluetoth.wifihotpot.and others.plz help me what I can do to solve this problem.

  • The malfunction disease has appeared in your device. My P8lite was also the same. Solution is take to Huawei Service Center, they will change the motherboard.

  • My Huawei P9 dont read my music app on my windows 10. What can I do

  • Bluetooth is not working plz tell me solving problem

  • its a nice one from huawei.i so like it.i realy cant say a problem in it

  • The frequently appear syndrome on P8lite is coming. My P8lite was also the same. The solution was only to change motherboard. I did debate with Huawei Indonesia on Facebook, I said to them, P8lite was defective phone.

  • I am using one, i like this phone..not a single problem. Huawei i like..

  • Is it available in uae market now???

  • No there mane problem in this device

  • got a problem with my wifi ..i cant turn on the wifi ..

  • If it was'nt for the wifi problems/error/disease; this phone will be epic.

  • No unfortunately it won't not even the more than capable p8 this will be the last huawei phone I'll ever buy 1 update we had seriously I hear the samsung J5 will be getting nougat with less specs aswell. In my opinion huawei is a poor company.

  • The disease of WiFi malfunction was appearing. My Huawei P8lite was experience WiFi and Bluetooth malfunction too, GPS also performed bad. The solution should change motherboard. I gave up with this problem, the service center judge my phone was unlockes, so changed motherboard cost me a half of new P8lite price.

  • Is Huawei g p8 lite gonna be updated to Nougat?

  • been using my p8 lite for a month,nice camera but its giving me problems,each time WiFi network is available it freezes or stuck even when am using instagram.what could it be?help

  • Yeah, why not

  • yes

  • Yes, this phone uses hybrid slot. The slot 1 uses micro SIM, and the second uses nano SIM card or microSD. So, if you consider to use dual SIM card, you should sacrifice to use microSD. Vice versa, if you would like the phone uses microSD, you should sacrifice the second SIM card.

  • yes,but no an sd card and 2 sim card.

  • Is it possible to have 2 sim cards with two separate numbers in your Huawei P8 Lite at the same time?

  • Same bro

  • during charging this phone has stop working, i don"t known why lunching without verification & testing,this is unethical and directly shows image of the company and the limitations of quality ?/???/?

  • same problem plus the wifi connection.

  • After a while the P8 lite Wifi, Bluetooth and radio stop working. The board has to be changed, this is common on these phones therefore we were sold a phone with a fault that Huawei knows about. Very bad business practice as I will never ever ever purchase a Huawei in my entire life again.

  • Huawei p8 lite is a great phone I like the camera, sensitive touch screen and the slim of it.

  • Go to settings menu and search developer.

  • Good Phone. Although mine broke within 6 months and Huawei refused to do anything. Terrible customer service. I now have an HTC A9 and it is far superior.

  • It's a good mobile overall.

  • The phone specs reflect 16GB memory but the actual available memory is 10GB the other 6GB is used by apps that came std with the fone and cannot be deleted, i had to purchase a SD card for additional memory ..... has anyone else experienced this

  • I've had this phone for 6 months now and I have never experience any Wi-Fi or other connection issues. For me the main con is the battery than drains quickly when using Wi-Fi but that has happened with pretty much every phone I've had so IDK. I like it. The camera is very nice.

  • Are you serious?

  • I have the same problem after 1 and half year can not even have 8 hrs of standby on full charge

  • Where is the developer option?

  • I have used mine for a year plus. an all round great phone

  • Hi i have a problem with the phone my battery goes flat very quickly fully charged notr in use for about 8 hours and the next morning battery flat please help

  • Go to the Play store and download call rec app. But keep in mind you have enough memory to download it.

  • This is a positive thought about the phone. bought the phone last year (2016) October You GET what you PAID o This phone is cheap but a good one. You get 2GB RAM and 16GB internal A good battery (if you just use it normally and CORRECTLY) A 13MP Camera and 5 on front. A 4G connection ( Speed relies on your place) I had drop the phone for so many times and it is still working smooth. I enjoy using the phone. And i do take care of it. I do online gaming. Internet surfing. Phone get hot but i guess most of the phone does when u use the way as i do. Cant see the problem till now on my phone. Or maybe, I was just lucky getting the one of their best phone If you got some issues why dont you try to check it out on their technicians (hope still covered of warranty). --- Issues: When I inserted external memory (4gb) Google play stops working Sending (simcard) messages got problem as well. Need to restart the phone thrice so it'll go back to normal Solution: Remove added external memory and everything goes back to normal

  • I can't find the call recording option. If any one known please reply.

  • Simple you go to on YouTube and search your problem and see the some videos Care fully

  • Hi can someone help me my huawei p8 lite dont show new system upgrades to a newest android version 7 so does someone have some solutions i would be very grateful for help.

  • Hi, Make sure you update to the latest version of Android and EMUI(4.0). It will work wonderful.

  • Absolute shit phone, do not be tempted by the price or the screen size, it it shit, you start off really enjoying the phone but then after a short period of time it becomes slow, it bends easily, it has the most useless and frustrating features, it's signal is absolute shit and the keyboard gives you about 5000 typos in one sentence. Do not get this phone. You are better off spending more money to get a better quality iPhone or Samsung

  • useless phone can't connect to Telstra 4GX

  • I just received a second hand Huawei p8 lite from my father bought from Saudi Arabia, and I'm kinda doubtful/ unsure about its features/ specifications. Phone is still not with me as for now but is going to receive it tomorrow. Is it good? :)

  • I need help guys, I cannot go view my gallery it gives me this message : "sorry something went wrong in Gallery, it will be restored" Anyone that can help

  • I can't believe this phone doesn't have USB OTG! What came over Huawei to not include this feature on the P8 lite? And I actually bought this phone just to be able to do that. I really am disappointed. I am also disappointed with the fact that this phone actually bent on the one side, making it look like a Flex.

  • Ic problem

  • P8 lite is it LTE sim? Thanks

  • Check the settings on wireless & network..enable the 4G button. It will work!

  • which phone is good P9 or P8

  • i also have the same problem please assist if u get a solution

  • Is Good? Yes?... Not?

  • P8 Lite Ale-L02 doesn't have Marshmallow update here in the Philippines. :(

  • it does not reflect red colour. the pictures are bad pliz help

  • I cannot send or receive interns from Bluetooth or share it what could be the problem

  • Nice phone

  • This P8lite is bad, has WiFi and Bluetooth malfunction, and the solution is only to change motherboard. You can imagine if your phone is not in warranty or still in warranty but when Huawei Center check your phone condition is on unlock position, change motherboard will be cost for a half of new price of Huawei P8lite. I had sold it and change to another brand phone. And I decide doesn't want to buy Huawei smartphone again.

  • I am unable to connect to WiFi. Can someone assist? Otherwise phone works well.

  • No it doesn't support OTG i have same problem with it.

  • My P8 lite huawei is very difficult to connect with WIFI. I already check to the forum, the problem is same

  • Wait a litle half month and buy p8 lite 2017, this phone cost 240 unlocked i think.. This phone is simular with p9 lite but with slightly better prossecor + 3gb ram and with fresh and last os -nougat

  • P8 Lite is the type of smartphone I have always been looking for. I can't just get enough of it...thanks, Huawei.

  • would you buy the e5 for 75 or would it worth to invest in the p8 lite for 105 euros?? opinions please!!

  • Ya supported the otg cabl

  • I have just acquired Huawei ALE-L21 and using it on 4G network with 4G capable SIM, but it only registers 3G. Kindly help on how to resolve this matter.

  • Yes I noticed the same thing

  • it is a very very beautiful mobile phone. i like very much

  • quick question is the camera on the p8 lite wide angled? i wanna buy some lenses but i need to know first before i buy.

  • Does P8 have infrared

  • I also had this problem that it is still on lollipop but after like 2 months it just upgraded on its own

  • guys..can someone tel that does p8 lite support OTG CABLE??

  • I have upgraded my P8 there is nothing wrong with wifi or any other internal part of software. I love it MUAHHHHHH

  • good phone but battery is kak

  • never

  • Seriously stop giving a bad name your comparing a unfortunate faulty handset mine works perfectly don't base a mobile phone review on a faulty product.

  • For those of you who say the wifi problem is a motherboard issue are wrong I've upgraded Android 6.0 2 month ago emui 4.1 nothing wrong have you guys tried oidin to reinstall the software.

  • Did anyone else experience problems with connecting to wifi with P8 Lite?

  • I have the Ale-L23 version and I cannot update past 5.0.1, which is very disappointing. It will not even update to EMUI 4.0.

  • How did you root the Marshmallow - and get OTG working?

  • having problem connecting on wifi since last week, all connections working well except wifi

  • have been using mine for the past 6 mong noting like that happen to my phone. At least is always server me a day with single charge .

  • Can we update it to Android nougat or not? Answer me please

  • Qstn ,Is this phone a dual phone like the two sim cards can work @ the same time ?

  • I think you just connect your USB cable, (cable data in the box) to your PC and see what happens next.

  • I bought the phone based on the specification. What a hopeless phone. Battery is dead within 2 hours of use. My old Nokia and Samsung phones last more than a day.

  • Hi everyone. Anyone just tell me how i could connect USB to m P8 lite..? PLz

  • Hi everyone. Anyone just tell me how i could connect USB to m P8 lite..? PLz

  • Hey everybody, I wanted to say I have a p8 lite that functions pretty good and for me is very fast with the only problem being the battery life. Everybody is saying everything about wi-fi connection problem and I can tell you I haven't faced that problem yet, and the phone is maybe 3 weeks old. At first phone didn't update to marshmallow and when I went to updater it said there were no updates but a week later it just showed up on its own. Phone is very good for me, and I like it. Now don't take my opinion for granted I am just saying for me it is good, now if you don't want to buy it......Don't buy it (: But it's very good phone for price I paid . I hope this helped someone. Bye (:

  • Redmi 3s prime is better in price

  • thanks buddy ;)

  • hey bro never ever buy huawei p8 lite because it has wifi problem , i also have huawei p8 lite when i connected it to wifi it shows wifi access denied , only customer care can fix it which costs lots of money if your phone is not in warrnaty , if you don't trust me you can search it on google simply by typing "wifi access denied" this problem is only in huawei p8 lite and you can also check the user reviews and this isn't software issue it's the problem of motherboard and this phone also have overheating and lagging issue , so bro moto g4 is better very much better because this phone doesn't have any of those issues

  • I, I just bought a Huawei P8 Lite Smart 16GB TAG-L01, but I'm noticing that the battery fall so fast, I'm using 3G, sometimes it pops by saying for example: Facebook back is running and consuming batt.... What is the reason that the batt. Consuming too fast thanks

  • Hi guys!! I'm searching for a new smartphone and I was comparing Huawei P8 Lite vs Motorola Moto G4. Which one is better?

  • Huawei have been around for a while. You need to wake up and do some research.

  • I suggest sony e5

  • Only in symbols. The apps with installed-in emojis do, of course, work.

  • This phone is average at best. Said to be an attempt to compete with the top makers, it under achieves greatly. It can do many things similarly to more wellknown brands like Apple and Samsung, but it overheats rediculously easily and the battery life doesn't last even half f what promised if you have a few apps running on background. Also, if you leave anywhere where the temperature might go below -5ºC (23ºF) because this phone is useless in cold weather. The power might be at 50% or more when the phone suddenly shuts down and won't charge even with an external battery. Of course being a Huawei phone, it's cheaper than the top selling names, buy you had better be prepared to pay for that price difference in the usability. As I stated before, the battery is the worst part of the phone, and I am not a fan of the idea of not getting my hands on it when I like, because the back doesn't come off without extreme violence. To me, this phone is just a spare phone to use when my better phone breaks and I don't have money to get a new one yet. Definitely nothing more.

  • Is there any possibility that p8 lite gets Nougat 7.0

  • Does it have emoji's? I'm struggling to get the option?

  • This mobile bends on its own after upgrading to Marshmallow. I bought two Huawei p8 lite mobiles from Media Market in Sweden, in a scheme/offer, both of them bent on their own, no falling or pressing. There is a manufacturing defect, but company do not accept it. Seriously recommend, do not buy this mobile, even its cheap, because money shall be wasted. Bot of them bent on first day. I would never buy it again.

  • Hello. Can anyone tell how to sync facebook birthday with calendar.

  • Thanks

  • P8lite

  • I download care app but not update avaible plz help me...I live middle east Saudi Arabia

  • I want to know which is better Sony e5 Lg K10 or Huawei P8 Lite

  • Okay let me tell you the truth about this phone every thing works fine HOWEVER it's A octacore phone but only 4 cores work but why you're asking well the other cores are just sleeping no matter how much the first 4 cores work the other 4 will never work so I'm assuming that the other 4 cores are FAKE yes I've contacted Huawei but. They tell me third party apps are lying but they ain't Huawei is a lair in my opinion if I would rate this phone 10/10 all cores should work.

  • It's a decent phone I'll give it that but my bluetooth does not work and because its such a crappy no name brand phone no one has ever heard of it and no one could help me fix it. I go to the settings and turn on bluetooth and 1...2....3...4...5... turns off 1...2...3... turns back on and so on, it never has enough time to connect and the huawei website isnt any help!

  • It's worth noting, after UK OTA upgrade to Android 6.0 I had fast battery drain. Factory resetting my P8 Lite UK as fixed the battery drain in Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Much better than lollipop peeps.

  • Have had the phone since September 2016, I've had no problems with it so far. It's smooth, but I would suggest using another launcher on the phone, instead of the Huawei home. It's a little slow. However, it's been probably the best phone I've had so far.

  • how can i reset my 2nd simcard, please tell me?

  • My P8 lite aint touching anymore... What could be the possible reason and where can i fix it?

  • that's right..

  • I don't recommend it at all.Please be cautious. This phone has a well-known wifi+bluetooth chip- HI1101 - problem. Huawei never addressed the problem!

  • I have problems with microf since the update, people cant hear me. I already reset phone but nothing works. please help me !

  • Anyone else's been upgraded to marshmallow yet in the uk? Mines still not picking the update up yet.

  • Got this phone the 24th December for R189 on Flexi 200 contract with some extra cammera lenses included as extra. I have read somewere guys saying the battery drains on idle, but this is not the case anymore. (currently on Lolipop 5.1.1.) They must have fixed it as i get 2 days on a charge and have not notice draining on Idle. This is one of the better supported Huawei phones with Andriod 6 also downloadable. Good for casual games and can even play Asphalt 8, although playing gfx intense games drains the battery much faster, and would not recommend long sessions. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase. Screen is nice, still a pretty phone, perfomance is good. 10 out of 10 at this price point.

  • My huawei p8 lite is not updated to version 6 marshmallow???why

  • The UK p8 lite updates via the Huawei care app. Manual update was waste of time as the update is now working OTA. Mine upgraded no problems at all.

  • Cannot connect my new Vivofit 3 to my Huawei P8 Lite phone ? It will not show the time, in fact the only thing it can do is counting steps ? Anyone else have same problem ? The worst is that I don't know if the Vivofit 3 is defect or the phone does not function with this device ?? Help.....

  • Had the phone for about 6 months, really pleased good quality build, good around phone with a good spec and price, just updated to marshmallow really easy while watching a YouTube video as I had to do it manually via the Huawei website. The update is not available on automatic phone update yet. I choose the P8 lite due to its size, Huawei is still a little unknown in the UK, I would recommend it.

  • Same problem here. Can't connect to the wifi, nor send, receive or connect to any other device through bluetooth. Plus I had another problem with the headset slot. Whenever I connect a headphone or speaker with AUX there's a problem with the sound

  • Bad battery life. Wifi card issue. (cant connect to wifi need to replace)

  • P8 lite marshmallow firmware update for UK handsets now available since mid December 2016. You need to use Huawei care app to search for firmware update. B585 is the 6.0 firmware UK. My p8 lite runs fantastic on the update. Mint phone.

  • Marshmallow update for UK p8 lite now available. You have to use the Huawei care app to search and check for firmware updates. Runs fantastic on 6.0 marshmallow.

  • Terrible phone. I read lots of reviews and bought it in the summer because it seemed the best phone in the price range. The reception is terrible (I get a squealing sound when the reception drops out - this happens far too often and in areas I usually get a good reception in with the same network but different phone). Then yesterday it stopped recognising wifi. I have now read that a lot of people have had the same problem with the phone suddenly not using wifi. So it looks like I will have to send it off for repairs or buy a replacement. I use this phone for work so cant be without a phone for days / weeks. So it looks like this phone has cost a lot of money for under 6 months usage!

  • i Will Reaseve this in this weak

  • Same problem

  • Me too I dont know what to do

  • I,ve had no problems its an amazing phone plus great price

  • Not connecting usb , he I can connect

  • I had the Huawei P6 just when it came out, liked it at first, camera seemed okey, and then came the first updated, made my phone slow and destroyed two of my sim cards. So i though id have more luck with the P8 Lite, because Huawei's customer support sucked and i didn't want to spend close to 800$ for a high spec one. And suerly enough, the P8 was awesome for the first two months, then it also had an update, messed the phone up, made my mobile data so slow its unusable, websites dont load half the time, the phone crashes regularly, pictures appear and disappear all of the time, SMS dates get switched, many of the SMS i get sent arrive a day or more late. I switched to a broken iPhone 4 witch i bought for 30$ on Craigslist, and i safely say, that that was an upgrade. If you want a phone for more than half a year, go for anything that's not a Huawei, it might seem more expencive at first, but it will save you alot of money and energy in the long run. 1/10 "Terrible phone"

  • the best phone ever

  • In this Specifications it says you can download it from Marsmallow buy when I update it says NO UPDATES

  • I had cols it, bought Xiaomi as the exchange. Disappoint with Huawei.

  • Nothing can user do, the only way is to change motherboard including IC WiFi.

  • nira it is better to sale ur mobile phone the reason is that many huawei sets have manufacturing defects these sets are giving problems day by day like wifi , bluetooth and other connectivity problems or if urmobile phone is in warranty then send it to the company but my suggestion is that ( sale ur mobile phone)............

  • This phone is very good better than an I phone 6 in many ways. Battery life is a problem though. Overall its the best budget phone

  • my phone just crashed i had the main board replaced , lasted two months and now the wifi just stopped working............. SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST

  • my phone wifi not working n service centre not able to help...

  • My phone not upgrade . how

  • me too, its' not fixed :(

  • it doesn't have an audio equalizer

  • My wifi and Bluetooth don't work at all

  • Go check up your eyes first :3 lololol. It has sir it was wrtten there also 3.5mm jack that's obviously the headphone/earphones jack

  • globally its a good phone but the wifi is not working well (i mean it s connected but the connection is very slow even the wifi speed is good ) also battery life isnt good

  • Yes it has.

  • Does it have a headphone jack? I cant see it in the specs!

  • usb not work

  • Sorry, but i haven't had any problem with the phone. I have been using it for maybe 8 months, my friend has been using it for a year now, and we love this phone. It's fast, makes beautiful pictures, and doesn't bend. And of course doesn't even explode ;-)

  • average phone with a weak battery ...

  • This Phone is for the Once who wants to make the statement "I have an Oversized Display Ha Ha Ha So Look at Meeeee... I am Genius.....This Phone is Officially Unsupported by Huawei it self . Funny thing is not may people Know about this....

  • I am not fully satisfied with this phone, my note : calling is good quality and didn't feel bad for long call, net browsing is good , sometimes touch is not good, and it's battery - 2200 mah is not enough for 5 inch display,when I am engaging with my phone the battery stands maximum 6 or 7 hours

  • Go to settings, find reset.

  • Hey huawei p8 lite doesn't have update version to email 4.0 on the updater,model Ale-21C02B130,solution?

  • Hi, I want to sell my mobile. Can you pls help me how I can clear my personal datas like messages, photos, ets..

  • Very bad timing battery

  • Huwaei has manufacturing defect, the phone bends in the middle on its own. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE, ITS CHEAP BUT WORTHLESS!!! I bought 2 in a scheme in Sweden at MedeaMarket, both bended from middle on the very first night, and second one bended on second night. Not only just bended, it bended to an extent that screen cracked as well. And in most cases company replies that its was mishandling, to answer this in advance i am computers and electronics geek, and know how to handle mobile phone(using smart phones since last 12 years atleast, if not more...), 36 years of age, and know why i am writting and what i am writting. The cost of phone is no much that i had to spend time in writting the review. Writing this review to want those who still buying thinking they bought the cheap 2GB / 16 GB internal memory phone for such a cheap price, you can buy it, but it does not last for even 2 days, do not buy this one .. Tried and tested 2 of them! Its useless, just waste of money, i faced loss, also later read several reviews speaking of the same problem. Does not matter what Huwaei responds back, all is lie. Phone bends on its own, even when you do not touch it it will bend by itself. I live in sweden, its cold place but bending happened in side house with room temprature 24 degrees. Just to keep updated, only this i did was upgraded to Android 6.0 (thinking of running Marshmallow on such a cheap phone), not sure if this could have caused bending, but surely there is no logical link between Android 6, and bending.

  • Hi Dear How to check or clean " Miscellaneous storage" and which is getting higher every day Br Ghayoor

  • ummm i thought about getting it buuuut..... the wifi issue wil wont for xcccccccc

  • Outstanding phone as compare to other brands not an issue or fault has arrived yet I am using it last 10 months.

  • WiFi of p8lite is not working properly in this model maximum.

  • Huawei p8 lite is mostly problematic in WiFi. I have problematic this phone in WiFi .however in woranty.but still is not ok.

  • A nice phone, no problems reagarding to the performance, working properly..If you maintain the phone well, you would face no problem. Thnks I lov u p8 lite.....

  • Why Jio doesn't support in Huawei P8 lite?

  • try restarting it

  • my phone is showing me insert sim, how do I make the sim work?

  • Yaaaa very bad b3 lets hope you have noticed that , I luv it but b3 is turning me off

  • yeet brother that sounds very inconvenient

  • Very very very bad battery 🔋 I charge it twice daily

  • Is this phone's performance comparable to htc one m7's performance(gaming multitasking speed..)

  • Maybe you would have better advantage if you choose HTC One M7. The issue from is usually purple tint camera. It is better than Huawei P8lite if you face WiFi won't connect issue later.

  • Is this phone comparable to the HTC ONE M7? Or is p8 lite better? Thanks...!

  • Yes me, if I should choose Hauwei, I reconsider many many thinkings. The P8lite disappointed me. The problem of WiFi couldn't connect issue happened by itself when my phone hang, no dropping, no throw phone to the ground, no get water, just happened itself and this problem was judge as IC problem and should be replaced. Say, if I make the phone repaired by Huawei Service Center, then next time the problem persist again, I should pay double, no way, better I choose Xiaomi.

  • On the service centre already and it's a hardware issue something like IC such a lame.

  • I searched for it and it's a known issue sucks right, and yeah who cares but still not gonna buy for them anymore.

  • Take the phone to a repair centre , let the experts check it out , thats why there is huawei care

  • Anonymous , its not right to just diss the entire brand for you having a bad experience , who knows maybe the phone could not pick up anonymous wifi LOL. anyhow the phone is now in my possesion for mor than a year and it is great , the display can be improved but further it is the best phone in that price class i have had so far

  • Can't connect to WiFi saying denied access to network, after a couple months of use. not recommended.

  • NOT RECOMMENDED. One of the worst phone I ever had seriously, used it for half a year when suddenly WiFi is not working at all. Denied access to network (who's gonna use a phone that can't even connect on a WiFi seriously), not gonna buy Huawei smartphone anymore. PS. Tried every possible solution but still fail.

  • Reset to factory settings and it should work like new again.

  • I bought my P8 lite in May 2015 and is still running great. Apart of some occasional lag that might have to do with the usage of too many apps at the same time, the system works just perfect with EMUI 4.0 and Android 6.0. The only major problem is the battery capacity. It discharges very quickly. A 2200 mAh battery with an octa core and 2GB of RAM is just not enough. Apart of that, is a great smartphone and I haven't bought the P9 lite yet because I'm very satisfied

  • Lucky, you got free of charge. My second hand P8lite was told that it cost me a half of new price.

  • Hi,my p8lite phone after 6 month that I had, two weeks ago it's keyboard became so slow or even not working...and now my phone's app works slow...plz,plz help and guide meeee

  • im using my p8 lite for 13months..i dont have any issue ... the only issue i faced about the phone its 'lag sometimes but its because of my fault im using skype while playing while messenger is open . too many apps are running so maybe thats the reasonwhy its lag . but for me its the best phone with the best price ..

  • the best mobile....updated successfully marshmellows

  • yes i m facing same problem of wifi connecting after 5 months buying this cell fone the warranty company replaced wifi ic and change mother board free of cost.

  • P8lite comes with Lollipop and EMUI 3.1. When you updated to MArshmallow, it will have EMUI 4.0. The performance I compared with my Xiaomi Mi 4c, Mi 4c is still better.

  • can anyones tell me if it comes with android 6 out of the box? also after marshmallow is it performance better? aand😀 what emui will it have after marshmallow? Thank you!!!!

  • I think WiFI and and Bluetooth problem won't connect related with the hardware issue.

  • dont install to many apps, its great phone i m using it, u can say it is best phone for average use..

  • I bought my Huawei P8 Lite in February 2016. I was satisfied by this smartphone, particularly for the quality of the photos it takes. Unfortunately, I encounter a serious issue with the Wifi and Bluetooth that do not work anymore. These two functions are handled by the same chip. It is obvious that the hardware is damaged. There are many users that have the same problem. I must precise that my smartphone was upgraded to Android 6.0.

  • Actually the performance was OK, if user doesn't use it much, it won't show lag, but P8lite has defect problem. My phone was can't connect WiFi and Bluetooth, the option was grey, couldn't be activated. The Huawei Service Center said this should be repaired by changing motherboard included WiFi IC and the cost was a half of new price phone. Not recommended.

  • can anyone tell me is it worth it to buy this phone is its performance good? does it lags? thanks!!

  • Dont buy the P8 lite.Has a wifi problem.Doesn't work even with update to marshmallow.

  • Huawei p8 lite is really good. The speed is good.. the performance is good. However the quality of the image I can't find it great it is not like 13mp.

  • I gave my phone to the service because of that problem, they could not fix it so they gave me a new one, i love the phone but the only bad thing was the keyboard that kept disappearing and a low battery life, luckily keyboard gets fixed with a new update

  • What if the situation you use mobile portable WiFi? My phone couldn't any of WiFI connection at that time. Not only WiFi, the Bluetooth button was also grey out, so they couldn't be activated.

  • I have the same problem after many hours of testing I find out that I have to close the 5ghz channel on my wifi and stay on 2.4 GHz (20hz only) at channel 4 and it work's fine I think it's very sensitive on router connection.

  • Huawei P8 Lite is a very good phone; I am also using the same. Capable of doing anything, if u consider getting yourself a smart phone I’d also recommend this one. It’s best.

  • Ok

  • Buy this one, its a very nice phone the only "bad" thing is battery life however its still worth it just buy a power bank of you need it .

  • Hi gays this is best phone huwawei p8lite I allready have that

  • There are many other brands that have better or at least the same with Huawei P8lite. After I experience about Huawei P8lite, I reconsider to buy Huawei smartphones again, I use Xiaomi now. It is good.

  • I don't know which phone to buy I'm confuse

  • Hi Guys, Please help whats better a P8lite or the Xperia E5?

  • Maybe hardware problem. Have you ask Huawei Service Center?

  • My p8lite has stoped reading the nano sim but reads the Sd card. What could be the problem

  • Huawei P8lite had defective problem on WiFI connection. Once you encountered this problem, your phone couldn't connect WiFi dan Bluetooth. Solution is to bring it to Huawei Service Center. They would change motherboard and IC WiFi.

  • Jio sim doesn't work in this mobile.

  • I have also huawei p8 lite My problem is same It does not support jio sim

  • I have a problem with wifi on P8 lite. Build number is ALE-L21C150B565. I found my wifi home network but i can't connect on network " access denied network" . Do you have a solution for this problem. Is it software or hardware problem ?

  • It's a great phone despite negative comments I have the phone six months now and I have no problems. When I bought the phone it was using android 5.0 and I easily rooted the phone using kingroot, didn't even unlocked bootloader however I've recently upgraded to 6.0 marshmallow and I've lost the root access with the update. Now I'm having difficulty rooting again, besides that I've realized otg doesn't work, but it's possible after gaining root access.

  • I got it when it was released and i am more then happy i put my hotspot on to my computer with the network vodacom and get the speed of 32mb/s download speed since i updated/upgraded my Huawei P8Lite to android 6

  • Has wifi connection issues.....

  • I tried to root the device for many times bt I couldn't. Does this device support otg cable

  • Yho, i love this phone and i wanted to buy one now am so so...... dnt knw

  • go to setting and then about phone then tab for 7 time on build number

  • No much I could tell about Huawei P8lite again, just update the status. Yesterday teh GPS was also malfunction, opened Google Maps, set pin circle the location at time, it false, GPS not working. So, I would not recommend any Huawei smartphone again.

  • My friend said that, actually, Huawei P8lite can do OTG by seeing the specs but Huawei made it disable, so users can't use it.

  • How to use usb with p8 lite? In features there is that this phone support usb but i connect usb via otg but not working

  • Open Ohio sim for Juneau plite8

  • This phone is AMAZINGLY good. It has been a long time since I was so impressed by a phone. It's fast, reliable, easy to use and tough. It charges quickly....VERY quickly in fact,the batter lasts MUCH longer than any other handset I have had with a similar sized screen. Buy this phone - you will NOT regret it.

  • Are you planning to buy P8lite? Reconsider again, this phone has defect problem that may not all users get. But once your phone face the problem, the solution is only to take to Huawei Service Center that cost you much a half of new Huawei P8lite price if your phone diagnosed had been unlocked.

  • After 3 months I use Huawei P8lite, here are my comments and experiences: Positive: + Good design, feels like premium, the box is also good + Upgradeable to Android Marshmallow, support double tap to wake up + Dual standby SIM card, the first SIM only supports 4G LTE + Performance is good (with notes: no many apps running in background) Negative: - Battery capacity is not good, can't last long - Charging time is to long. I notice today, start charging on 13:09 (21%), on 21:58 is still 87%. Insane, 13:00 to 21:00 has exceed more than 8 hours not 100% - Has defect problem WiFi and Bluetooth not function. Maybe not all users, but many users experienced this malfunction syndrome. Can't be fixed by installing firmware, flashing, factory reset, wipe partition in recovery mode. The only is go to Huawei Service Center. My case was go to Huawei Service Center and my phone diagnosed that the phone was unlocked, consequently couldn't claim warranty. If I persist to make my phone got service, the cost was insane too, a half of new P8lite price for change WiFi IC and motherboard

  • Yes, my phone was also stop working connect to WiFi and Bluetooth. Defect several products.

  • jio sim is working

  • So far so good. I'm pleasantly surprised with the phone. Considering that is cheap it gives a lot for it's price. Cameras is very good with a lot of options, gives a good pictures in daylight as it gives in night time. I'm surprised with camera quality. It have a very good build design, feels premium and expensive, speaker is loud and clear... Mine runs on Android Marshmallow and its so smooth, almost like stock aos, no lags at all. So far I don't have any problems, runs the best for it's price.

  • When will I be able to get a the phone

  • Don't buy it... I bought one and after less than a year the Wifi, Bluethooth, GPS and radio stopped working. They just simply greyed out and don't turn on. I couldn't even get technical assistance from Huawei because this model never came to my country. Don't waste your money on Huawei.

  • jio sim is not working in P8 lite why ??? tell me

  • No, it isn't. Should we know that Huawei P8lite is not support for OTG.

  • My p8 lite not connected with otg...it is a big problem

  • Better go to other brand. The Huawei P8 lite has several defective problem that people risk to encounter the problem of WiFi dan Bluetooth can't connect.

  • Huawei P8 lite is a grate phone. It has very user friendly interface therefore it is easy to use.But is has a one mistake. That is It battery life is poor.

  • Why the reason of p8 lit heat up at using fne mny other app or net??

  • I had read some comments in XDA developers, someone said the model of Huawei P8lite for N15/N15A type would have a risk that the phone will get WiFi not connected and Bluetooth not connected problem. The model N16 was also the same but rare. I had experienced this problem, WiFi and Bluetooth issue. Visited once to Huawei Service Center, my phone was diagnosed no

  • Me too. This is the common problem comes from this phone. To fix it, the phone should be brought to Huawei Service Center. They would change the mainboard. I visited Huawei Service Center yesterday, unlucky, my phone was detected unlock in their system, so I couldn't make change mainboard for free. The cost of this repairment is a half of new price of this phone. I cancelled the repairment, couldn't pay for too much expensive. With the cost of repairment, I would better buy new phone.

  • No, you need a third party app.

  • Hi Must I Stay away Of Huawei Please Tell me to Help me

  • Today, have just experience it today. When my Huawei P8lite hang (screen black), it just shows blink notification LED, I did force restart by press and hold power on/off for more than 10 seconds. The phone restarted, but I found WiFi issue now, like the others said, WiFi connection issue, couldn't turn on, it just grey color and the Bluetooth was also the same.

  • Can't connect to WiFi? This phone doesn't support 802.11a (5 Ghz) hotspots. :(

  • Does this phone have an option to video call?

  • I also have the same issue on connecting wifi...

  • Do you encounter any connection issue (with WiFi)?

  • Can your P8 connect to WiFi?

  • Worst deal of my life, useless if you make anything else than call & text. Super laggy OS, many bugs.

  • Try this: I did barter my gold Huawei P8lite bought from August with a friend who gave me extra some bucks if I allow my phone to be exchanged with his black Huawei P8lite bought in April 2016. I did exchanged, using his black Huawei P8lite, so far it is good, no WiFi issue. The phone is running the latest Marshmallow C636B561, works good and fast with 1 GB of free RAM available. The most apps run in background are LINE, WhatsApp, Gmail, Cashtree only.

  • Try this:

  • I know p8 light

  • Friend, I have p8lite smart phone but the problem is its not connecting to wifi router. its showing access denied msg anybody know how to fix it.

  • I am also facing this prob..Wifi not connecting. From Last 3 days. it continuously show an error like Network access denied.

  • No I don't have any kind of issues based call

  • I just got back my p8 lite from warranty. My WiFi also got weak signal and then stop connecting. I did all thing in OS and hard reset and at last updated the firmware to version 6 Marsh but no success. In end I found a forum where a guy mentioned about WiFi IC chip replacement so my board got changed from the company. I tried marshmallow for just 2 weeks and I liked it. My cell is back to lollipop after warranty. Should I update if any improvement in battery etc..?

  • Huawei P8 lite or Samsung galaxy J5

  • Sir how to use usb in.p8 lite

  • The problem with this marshmallow update is u will no longer have acess to MTP nd PTP USB Storage it will be charging only

  • Huawei p8 lite not able to write a comment in Facebook live video.plz resolve this software issue

  • Is anyone having trouble with answering calls?? It says sim card error everytime I make or answer a call. Not a very good start to using this phone. Have only had it for a month KEFE

  • The Marshmallow update is available in Huawei website: but in the link seem for Europe region. I am searching for in Google for my region when I flash manually my phone. After I don't satisfy much for Android 6.0, I did downgrad to Lollipop back. My phone received automatically notification update for Android 6.0 with the latest firmware (C363B651). Every region I think different, there are several countries get update early and maybe there are several get update too late.

  • How did you update..? I mean when I try to update in settings... It says no updates are availabe... But this one is supposed to get the Marsh-mellow update, right! So how the fuck you did it..

  • i have been using p8lite since June but now does not connect wi-fi and Bluetooth , any help

  • Wow! It may be a good news for me. :-)

  • A good news for p8lite users...huawei.plan to upgrade the p8lite to nougat......maybe between october to december...we can get our new update.......

  • i have htc one m8 verizon and i am going to switch to P8...can any body tell me how is P8 for 4g Lte and battery life?????

  • wtf? i have s5 . i buy first time when i find in story. i use only Samsung.S5 is very very great. Now depends what model is now in story . Now i use S7

  • This phone is great! Good camera good performance, easy on the hand, good price but the battery life is not good enough. Even though it is great!

  • For update Android software to Marshmallow, check update inside Settings, if the OTA update not available yet. Try to see Huawei website, download section, find your phone model.

  • It's a good phone but first I want to know how I can connect USB to it and second how can I upgrade to marshmallow,I have not received marshmallow update yet.I have bought about 3 to 4 months ago from pakistan and using in pakistan.

  • no, i have done both with this phone and no issues, sorry :(

  • From my experiences using Android, from Samsung Galaxy Note II till this Huawei. Remains RAM less than 450 MB is not good idea. I face some needs few times problem in order the phone works (lag).

  • It is around 4 hours, but it can be less from 4 hours if user play games non stop.

  • has anyone troubles with root this by kingroot? (or trying to unroot this?)

  • Since I updated my phone 2 days ago battery does not last..is it normal?please help

  • Are you sure?

  • Does its battery resist while playing heavy games???

  • Double tap would be fixed if you are in firmware B170 or B190 Lollipop or in Marshmallow 6.0.

  • Update: Around 2 hours ago, my P8lite restarted itself again when I were typing in Spreadsheet. Position: Lollipop C636B170

  • It could take for 4 hours if you play plenty of games.

  • Hello does the battery resist when playing heavy games???pls reply...

  • Update: Yesterday, my P8lite was restart by itself. It happened when the phone slow, remains free RAM was around 460 MB, it restarted when I browsed internet, it act like stuck then the screen was blank and show Huawei logo but no sound. Then menu and homescreen reappear again. Well, if the RAM below 500 MB, performance would down and could make the phone hang.

  • This phones really sucks me. This phone has keyboard typing issue (Double tap). So with that issue, you will find hard time even to type a phone number, message anything that relates to keyboard. Changing keyboard wont help. Soft reset wont help. Never never never buy it. Go with some branded phone which is available in the market not with this phone.

  • How about battery on gaming ..??? ( coc )

  • Lol me to its always happening especially on dack places i find my self holding it up side down, but now m used to it

  • Mine plays asphalt 8 verywell especially wen its on performance mode

  • Why my phone can't play snapchat ? And my another huawei phone (honor 3c) cannot play either.

  • My phone has trouble in wifi connection.. it has diffeculties in korea and japan connection even in phil. And it doesn't update to marshmallow. Is there a solution to its wifi problem??

  • I am using this phone for 6 months and it works perfectly. Android update fixed double-tap bug. It is the best choice if you want cheap and quite good phone. I recommend it!

  • The phone in generaly is good, but when it comes to gaming part it have lots of lags and the frame drops are everywhere. I had an xperia m2 before and it handed better with games like asphalt 8, real racing 3 or suicide squad, with p8 lite you can play only subway surfears, tempel run and game like that with no problem. In terms of interface and menu performance it work smooth.

  • This is the best phone I have ever had. I had a Sumsung S4 mini before. Its battery lasts long enough. Its camera is good and its a nice size. I only have one issue with it. It you put it in your pocket and then retreive it later. Its hard to tell which side is up.

  • For elderly person,maximum font size is too small

  • This is an excellent phone! I have used it for more than an year and its still serving me well!

  • Please do not but this phone if you are looking into buying a phone. I have had it exchanged twice due to it not working well. Every time loosing my info. It has major technical issues. Worst phone ever!!!

  • Great phone. My only concern is that it doesn't link with like the whatsapp emojis, so when I want to post an emoji on instagram I must first copy and paste from whatsapp and the paste in instagram. Is there something I must turn on or can u please make that in the the update.

  • Update: After several days I use P8lite after in Lollipop again, I experienced some lags happened. It can happens anytime, like when open Google Maps, open Uber, etc. I also experienced not responding system UI. Active apps are: WhatsApp, LINE, Gmail, Twitter, Cashtree I use normally. So I would conclude again that, Android with 2 GB of RAM is not recommended again.

  • No y6pro has no resale at all and the shape is not graceful as p8 lite,it got stuck sometimes very badly ,u should go for p8lite ,it is the best phone I'm using it

  • Brilliant. Was meant to be my back-up phone but it is as good as my G4. Ticks a ll the boxers. Yes It has an earlier android but the battery lasted a day and a half. The camera is lovely. the speaker is really good. It just works really well. The price. £137. Bargain. Oh and it feels really nice in the hand

  • p8 lite is the best phone i have ever owned

  • i have huawei p8 lite wifi is good

  • Update: Used it since August 9, 2016, until now so far it works fine. No WiFi problem. I asked friend, he told me that for users got Bluetooth problem should try install Bluetooth fix from Play Store. Maybe you should try it.

  • I am sorry to hear that. I am also no idea for this problem.

  • I am not sure. Usually, if the region is the same, it would be work.

  • Tell me pls my huawei p8 not connecting wifi.pls guide me to solve this problem

  • Thank you for this, but does it work...this is not official site ? And my build number ends in B130.

  • Shall i buy this p8 lite or y6 pro cuz its same but y6 pro has 4000mah :o

  • i have probvlem wifi is not working

  • Maybe you would like to see this website:

  • It is available actually, but you must write GR3, the search box will appear Huawei enjoy 5s. If you see the specs, there is sentence that the enjoy 5s has other name is GR3.

  • I checked everywhere, and nothing..

  • Okay, thanx for reply. But,....why this mobile isn´t on GSM´s list?

  • You can check on Huawei website. If it's there download it and install it manually

  • Why huawei p8 lite ale-l21 not connected to wifi and Bluetooth?

  • Why huawei p8 lite ale-l21 not connected to wifi and Bluetooth?

  • Huawei P8lite doesn't support USB on-the-go.

  • It should be work actually, except there was something wrong with the microSD.

  • I have ale-l21 c185b130 and i am not recieving an update for 6.0...don't know why :(

  • Hi there. I have Huawei p8 lite , I insert the 32 gig memory into it, but the phone can't read the memory, Could you help me to solve this problem please?

  • I had the C185B525. That version runs Marshmallow and didn't have any connectivity issues.

  • Oh there something I would like to post here. Afer I succeeded downgrade to Lollipop 5.0 C636B150 my region, it was problem when I made Google account. It was not sync. Opened Play Store it showed loading with white screen. And when I tried delete the account, it didn't want to be deleted, stuck. So, I conclude the firmware C636B150 is bad. After I did upgrade to C636B170, the problem had gone. Back to normal again.

  • Update: I have used Huawei P8lite since August 9, 2016. Until now the phone works fine, no WiFi problem. For Bluetooth works fine too. My P8lite is running on Lollipop 5.0 C636B170 now. Good, overall is OK. By the way I had experienced blabnl screen everytime the lock screen switch off, I did clear recent apps, then it back to normal.

  • Your previous version was ale l21-C185B130, right ?

  • how to connect usb with p8lite. plz help me out for this

  • After the new update to C185B560, the p8 lite cannot connect to wifi neither bluetooth. CrappyUI -sorry they call it EmotionUI. This tries to override Android and give the system an iOS feel which really sucks! My advice is stay away from Huawei phones.

  • Meizu M3s is good, battery is better. Both of them are good.

  • Dudes please i need advise, This phone? Vernee Thor? or Meizu M3s?

  • If you use it so much, it can consume for 4 hours or less.

  • I saw on Google search, the Tag-L01 is Huawei GR3. The difference I saw, was processor, the GR3 used MediaTek while P8lite uses HiSilicon processor.

  • How much time does the battery last if I use it for social media surfing youtube and games

  • My ask..... How is a difference between Huawei P8 Lite and Huawei TAG-L01 ?? As for the mechanical part, is great differencce on case, a loadspeakers holes, SIM drawer, etc. Do you know somebody more differencies in the phone, please? This type does is´t present in GSMARENA list. Why? Or Some unsuitable gimmick or tricksy con from merchants?

  • Huawei P8lite is very excellent smartphone. I have bought its two months ago and I never had some problems. WiFi is Okay, Bluetooth too. Data cable connects mobil at PC and via WiFi I am able to transfer data. Main photocamera is going very good, the photo is excellent. But,....I would like to try upgrade the Android on Marshmallow.

  • the p8 lite is not a bad phone but its not in the high end price range but good value for what you pay ...! a few niggles came to light the navigation can freeze at times when battery is low and the volume on the phone could be a tab better but you get what you pay for all in all very good but dont expect miracles

  • Why is wifi and Bluetooth is not connected to any other phone? Give me ans please

  • If software is not the caused, then the problem is your phone. Hardware problem maybe. Have you try to send the phone to Huawei Service Center? I had read many posts here about WiFi problem and Bluetooth problem. I also worry if my phone would be get the same problem one a day.

  • why am i having troubles connecting with wifi and connecting my bluetooth? how can i fix this issue?

  • My P8lite is running Lollipop C636B170, I had received notification of the next update, it's Android Marshmallow, C636B561. For a while I will keep staying on Lollipop 5.0. I had tried Android 6.0 C636B561, it was lag when I received incoming call (at that time, BBM was active, WhatsApp active. LINE active, Twitter active, Gmail active, the remains of RAM was below 520 MB). For users who don't receive update notification, be patient.

  • Anyone aware of when USA will get marshmallow update, Ty!

  • overall a good mobile..fast,good sound ,battery timings is reasonable sometimes hangs camera quality is low especially in low light I would recommend to people!

  • Maybe the phone was problem with hardware. Had you try to send it to Huawei service center? My Huawei P8lite is 1 month for the age of using. So far is good, I can connect my P8lite to my portable WiFi BOLT! Super 4G.

  • I use this link to flash my P8lite to be netral firmware. After successed flash it, I downloaded firmware C636B150 Indonesia region from Huawei website then flash once again. The result, it backs to Lollipop C636B150. The method is like these: 1. I downloaded the firmware above in the link. Extract it to internal memory. After extract, it will have 'dload' folder contains 'Update.app' file (219 MB) inside 2. I placed (moved) dload folder to internal memory. 3. Shutdown the phone, press volume up + volume down + power on/off together until Huawei logo appear 4. Wait till process upgrading finish 5. After finish, see inside about in Settings, it will have C900B500 firmware version 6. Download Lollipop firmware. I downloaded C636B150 Indonesia region (any region said that will work too). Extract again, finish extract will appear dload folder contains Update.app 2,67 GB. 7. The previous dload folder that have 219 MB Update.app should be deleted (movedd/changed) with 2,67 GB Update.app. Shutdown the phone, press volume up + volume down + power on/off again together till Huawei logo appear 8. Wait till upgrading process finish. Then you will see the phone begins to be set up as like as new phone have just activated (Lollipop). Note: The process downgrade to Lollipop will delete all apps and data like act factory reset. User who does this will responsible for his/her own risk

  • 'Don't like the update completely..lost some functions. Like the colors in my mail. And "don t disturb" isn't automatically any more. Battery is longer now, thats nice

  • Anyone with build number ALE - L21C185B130 that has recieved OTA update for marshmallow ?

  • Wi fi is broken on 90 of 100 huawei P8 lite... So BIG -

  • Bought it brand new from a Telstra store - Bluetooth and WiFi didn't work. So the SmartWatch that came with it was totally useless. Tried everything to fix those problems. Within 3 months the phone suddenly went haywire and then became useless. I'm back to my old Sony Xperia Z1 and that's working perfectly :D What a useless phone!

  • I've got the phone for almost 2 months, and I've got no complaints. I just upgraded to marshmallow today and seems to be running as smoothly as ever

  • The Alcatel Idol 3 with 4,7" screen is not 2 GB of RAM. So, Huawei P8lite is still better.

  • Phone is great, only need for me shcedule sms option, it have everything else. Battery may be better.

  • Maybe you have bought fake huawei. 1 years already, no problem. Just my mistake to root the phone and after install OTA update my phone turn to brick. However due to root using Huawei official bootloader, my warranty still valid. Took 1 day to repair at Huawei SC, Now at 6.0 Marshmallow and still work as it should. It's totally opposite your claims.

  • Both are good in specs. I think the HTC Desire 820 is more expensive.

  • Having owned both phones, the Desire 820 wins out due to the interface, speakers and screen size if you want that. I am strictly speaking for the 820 and not the variants such as 820G etc however.

  • Huawei P8 lite or HTC Desire 820?

  • I want to buy a phone! Which is a better phone? Huawei P8 lite or Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 or LG K10?

  • CAVEAT EMPTOR This phone is NO GOOD at all. Within 2 months of buying it, my wi-fi and bluetooth stopped working. I have tried all tricks, to no avail. All of my documents, pictures, videos, chats........are trapped on it now. It is now 8 months of using it only as a means to make and receive calls, send messages and take pictures that cannot be used or transferred anywhere else. No Social media, No Browsing. I regret the purchase. Buy at your own risk!!!

  • I have P8 lite but I installed Facebook app more than one time and update it, however the option of live video does not appear? Can anyone help me?

  • I think the processor. Samsung J5 2016 still uses quad core 1,2 GHz on Qualcomm Snapdragon 410, while P8lite uses octa core 1,2 GHz on HiSilicon Kirin 620.

  • Usually it is files like rar or zip, cache and games file. My P8lite was increasing the other files after I installed Sixth Guns, deleted after several days played. Install Gangstar Vegas, deleted again after several days played. The other files increased. When I found my phone slower, I did factory reset.

  • Guys, how to delete ''Others'' in my internal memory? It drains my internal storage, it drives me crazy because I can't find how to delete or find the location of ''Others'' in my phone. What is Others actually?

  • Any other reasons why to buy p8lite over J5(6)?

  • I would like to still choose Huawei P8lite if I am asked the same question. Android smartphone that have double tap to wake in default feature is more attractive to me than none.

  • Yes, it is. You can see the tutorial in YouTube.

  • can any one tell me "is it possible to downgrade from android 6.00 to previous android version cause it eating my battery

  • This or Samsung J5 (2016)?

  • This or Samsung J5 (2016)?

  • The y6 pro is is pretty good phone. Just has that problem with tge touch when typing. It's really annoying.

  • If you would like to keep waiting for OTA, you should be patient more times. If you tired waiting, then you should check Huawei website, find ALE-L21 firmware for your region.

  • spend a little more money and buy p9 lite

  • Thank you

  • 3 months using this phone with no problems, so smooth especially after the update to 6.0, one thing i didn't like about this phone is the battery

  • P8 obviously out performs the P7, if you meant the P8lite (which I think you did) I would recommend the P8lite as well. Reasons being it runs 6.0 (P7 is stuck on 5.X) and runs EMUI 4.0 instead of 3.X. Bigger battery, more efficient processor and while plastic on the back it feels more secure in the hand than the P7. Where the P7 wins is the screen being 1080P instead of 720P for the P8lite, still it helps with performance overall.

  • Hi there I'm from cape Town. I've got the ALE-L21C16B120 version of the phone. I would just like to know when the Android 6.0 marshmallow update will he released

  • no material quality is very bad

  • pls p8 and p7 which one is better in performance?

  • the golden color of outer ring is very poor quality. totally color peel off and my phone looking ugly.

  • hey should i buy this phone

  • hey pleas in your oppinion this phone or huawie y6 pro

  • yes its supported

  • The specs had told us that the slot SIM card is hybrid, so users won't able to use 2 SIM cards + microSD together.

  • What a crap phone can't put two sim cards and a sd card in so I am stuck with a whole 6 gigs that is left on the stupid thing. Not sure how good anything else is as I got shafted by Sony and my service provider and I don't really care Pete.

  • Luckily I don't have Instagram and I don't like it. I did factory reset 2 days ago and I use Facebook app again, but right I don't activate BBM.

  • Yes Facebook and Instagram make every phones slow.use clean master

  • Your phone should get notification update first. If you still don't get the notification update, then it is mean no new update available for your phone right now.

  • the problem is not the phone... it's the Android 6 upgrade... downgrade

  • Android 6 sucks... do not upgrade it

  • I just got this smartphone and i am impressed, must of the people complain about battery life but i got perfectly 4 hours of SOT and i am not a light user, i listened to some of my music, browse a lot the web, i gotta say i don't like online gamming so that helps me. Anyway updated to 6.0 and if feels better than lollipop. Excellent camera for the price and it's lo light weight that it feels like a toy. So far, really happywith this phone, i'll test and maybe update this in the future! Recommended.

  • first time when i buy it.it has same price tag with galaxy j7 but its worth of trying different phone than samsung.8month with me working great,just battery draining fast but its ok i have powerbank

  • When do I upgrade P8 Lite to marshmallow 6.0.1 OTA ? please help When do I upgrade P8 Lite to marshmallow 6.0.1 OTA ? please help How do I upgrade P8 Lite to marshmallow 6.0.1 OTA ?

  • Yes, that's the lack of Marshmallow, but I'm OK with that.

  • I found GPS not working after I updated to Marshmallow.

  • I upgraded my p8 lite to mashmellow..help me to expand the notification bar...now I can only put 9 icons

  • P8 lite usb supported or not Please tell me [email protected]

  • I have found this good in all but the battery performance is not satisfactory....I mean the battery fast empty. If you have any suggestions please share.

  • Restart your router.....

  • Update. I find that my P8lite was slow because of running Facebook app. This Facebook app made phone slower and lag.

  • Have you test before for this? The specs didn't say it waterproof.

  • which brand OTG Flash Drive Supported Huawei P8 Lite Mobile ? Please Help....

  • That's True

  • My P8lite is in Marshmallow C363B561 Asia Pacific, so far no issue about contact name or caller name.

  • I tried Gangster Vegas, sometimes it little lag. Internet connection will little interrupt I guess. But im my deep thinking, Lollipop I think and think, is still better in performance.

  • i have issue with phone book, if i got a call/ massage it doesn't show the contact name until unless i saved the number with country code. it very hard to save the number with country code. before i was working fine i think its update to lollipope then i got this issue.

  • Huawei p8lite is waterproof phone

  • The marshmallow update (official) its cool brings some improvements,but the battery drains fast now, gaming performance has improved wen its in performance mode...Try N.O.V.A 3 freedom nation u will experience the console quality graphics on a smartphone

  • P8 lite its a very nice smartphone with good built quality, very nice performance for its price range, just don't expect it to perform like a flagship

  • Usually every region has different time receive of new update. If you still don't receive any new update, try to update manually.

  • I think that should be based on your region. Had you tried update manually? I tried manually using firmware Spain, it was fail. Then I downloaded firmware Asia Pasific, it success.

  • I am using Huawei p8lite and video is moved faster than audio

  • P8 Lite or Zenfone Max ?? P8lite + Design top + specs good - battrey capacity is so small Zen Max +. Battrey life very good, 2 Day One Charge - Specs Not Good for gamming - Body is So Big and Not comfort

  • How can I improve my pictures quality?

  • I have a problem with my camera,the quality is very poor,

  • why i can't update marshmallow ???

  • Why am i not recieving any update for my ALE-L21 C185B130 ?

  • sounds like you need so change wifi antenna on your phone.

  • my P8 Lite no longer connects to any wifi network; it says denied access to network. I have done factory reset, problem persists. Any help please.

  • So far and looking my notes where I write beginning charge time and finish time everytime I charge my phone. I am OK with the battery life time. So far, based my charge time note, the most frequently charge is 2 times in a day. If there is a phone minimum needs 4 times charge a day or 5 times in a day in normal use, I also would not recommended it. Oh, I still remember, Huawei P8lite battery life is better than BlackBerry Z10. So, I am OK with Huawei P8lite.

  • Wifi problam

  • p8lite

  • Everything is fine, juz sucks on battery life. Nt recommanded for heavy user

  • I usually use this P8lite needs frequently charges 2 times everyday. If I use the phone for streaming and games, it could 3 times need to be charged each day. Both are good. By the way, I almost choose Lenovo K4 Note before decided to buy P8lite. Because of K4 Note uses MediaTek processor, and I don't need much about VR tool, I changed mind.

  • In my phone there is problem with mobile network capturing it shows no service at many places what shall I do for it

  • P8 lite doesn't support otg

  • Which one is better to buy? Lenovo k4 note or p8 lite? Does P8 lite support otg? And How long in general everyday use the battery last? Is it hard to find p8l's accesories like bumper or case in Indonesia? Thank You in advance.

  • I think warranty won't cover human error. It will cost to you for repairmanet. I don't belive Gorilla Glass 3 and say, Gorilla Glass 10 would anti drop or anti fall and anti throw and down with high energy. Like water proof phone, I don't believe 100%. That's why I take care my phone, and for water proof or anti water phone, I never take it a test to bring it together into water in swimming or drop it into water.

  • Depend on your decision and your interest. Huawei P8 lite is good for camera, good for communication and also good for browsing internet. Performance is also fine.

  • Not sure. By the way, I am OK with the say that, Lollipop, Marshmallow or KitKat. Because of P8lite comes with Lollipop 5.0.1, I use Lollipop, then upgrade to Marshmallow because the firmware file had been available in Huawei website. I didn't have internet quota at that time or this Marshmallow firmware is bad, I am OK to downgrade back to Lollipop C636B170 again.

  • ATTENTION! do not buy this phone, I have owned it for 6 months and it now has a battery life of an hour and it heats up to the point u cant hold onto it at all without feeling like you will burn yourself. The customer service is horrible as wel,l I have been given a run around for 2 months and am sick of this company. Go find a reliable phone this is not one of them.

  • My p8 lite screen broke in 1 small fall. they say gorilla glass 3 doesnt break . will i get a replacement ? i bought it 2 months before.

  • Can p8lite get nougat

  • Please on focus volume button on rear camera like photo DSLR camera us so good challenge as Samsung s6

  • should I buy this phone? I like it but I was thinking that is this phone camara is good or not ?

  • No, I read in internet where there is a review of P8lite said this phone didn't support OTG.

  • My P8lite firmware is ALE-L21C636B561 Asia Pacific, so far no problem with problem and Bluetooth. I will keep update information about this if I am still use this P8lite.

  • Did you check OTA update? If the update is still no available, then no new update OTA available. Should wait more time maybe.

  • is this phone support USB otg?

  • Hi, im in the Philippines. Is there any marshmallow update available here? Where can I download it if available? Tnx..

  • My WiFi and bluetooth stoped working too. Very strange

  • This phone is great no problems at all no battery drainage it heats a little bit all mobiles do thats not a problem. No wifi or Bluetooth problems its extremely fast.

  • i didn't upadate my p8 lite but last night its wifi and bluetooth isn't working

  • same with me. my wifi and bluetooth is not working too.

  • Hey there is no problem regarding this mobile. I updated marshmallow Android system and it's pretty good and working very smooth in this phone as my point of view this phone is damn good

  • I experience many issues with the WiFi and Bluetooth. Occasionally the wifi does not turn on, the same with the bluetooth.

  • SIM card 1 is micro type. SIM 2 is nano type. By the way, my SIM card that has been placed on SIM 1 slot was nano type, I use the remains of frame from that nano had been cut long months ago. I attached it successfully and could be inserted to SIM 1 slot. I am not every change SIM card people, so, so far no problem with SIM card slot.

  • Not sure, so far the latest update is still Android 6.0 with Android security patch June 1, 2016.

  • My P8lite updated to Marshmallow ALE-L21C636B561 Asia Pasific yesterday with Android security patch June 1, 2016. It is good, no complaint.

  • cant use the nano sim space as card cut wrong way

  • Hi, Im think about buying this phone for a quite some time now. Ive read about people having problems with wifi and bluetooth after they update their P8 lite to marshmallow, as well as overheating due to its metal back. Does anyone have any other issues with their phones?

  • Huawei p8 lite is very good phone and i am curious after marshmallow update will get the nougat?

  • well i've bought two of them the first had this problem out of the box the second was ok so I guess the first was defective (it was also overheating even on idle) now about the passage of time android gets a bit slower but you can always refresh it by wiping useless apps and cache

  • thats a long tale about google... had theese issues nerly with all of my devices since jellybean

  • j series are more or less the same quality for much more money and noticeable less power and specs (except from the amoled displays)

  • Go for the P8 lite don`t buy the k5 i've tested both p8 lite is a reliable choice k5 has a wonderful screen but it's a waste of time and money in general

  • videos reading taking some time

  • I use WeChat, LINE, or Skype.

  • My P8lite works fine, no problem in WiFi or Bluetooth. I use ALE-L21C636CB540 Asia Pasific.

  • OTA update is just available if you check your device inside Settings, check for update, it appears the new update. But if the situation when you saw no any new update, that's mean no new update (whatever that Android version) available for your region.

  • I think that's will depend on your region and based on your region. I am in Indonesia, so I flash my P8lite using Android 6.0 Asia Pasific from Huawei website. Previously I had tested using Android 6.0 Spanish .zip firmware, it failed.

  • How do you make video calls on the Huawei p8 Lie

  • plz help me! after updating to marshmallow 6.0 my Huawei p8 lite mobile's wifi and Bluetooth is not working!!! what can I do now? is there any way? help plz!!!

  • Which country is the best in making Huawei na which is originally country that make Huawei

  • Huawei

  • DEAR if you have any prob. after update then try this rom this is fully tested and 100% working with no prob. at all

  • How do I upgrade P8 Lite to marshmallow 6.0.1 OTA ? please help How do I upgrade P8 Lite to marshmallow 6.0.1 OTA ? please help How do I upgrade P8 Lite to marshmallow 6.0.1 OTA ? please help

  • This phone was amazing until the update to Marshmallow.I don't know if it is the update, or is just a pure coincidence, but the phone is not functional anymore on wifi and bluetooth.This is a very common problem for a lot of p8lite users. Search the internet. I'm stil using this phone, in this condition, for about two months, but I'm planning to change it with another brand.

  • For me Huawei is better

  • If user would like to blame, then he/she should blame Huawei. I am not sure about that. Before I updated to Marshmallow using flashing rom by HiSuite, I had already checked OTA several times, no new updates in my region. So I use flash method.

  • Today, around more than 2 hours ago, my P8lite stuck when opening WhatsApp, stuck in opening YouTube and also Google Play Store. Stuck, if I press back, it won't move, and will show 'not responding' message later. Restart it, it back to normal again. It is OK I think, Google account sometimes conflict with apps. If this frequently happens, I will conclude that Android 6.0 is not good running in P8lite.

  • Xperia M4 Aqua has low internal memory compared Huawei P8lite.

  • But I saw my friends hwawei g8 get an OTA update notification to marshmallow right here in Kuwait but still nothing for the p8 lite...come on how is this fair??!!

  • there is camera comparison

  • is this support USB Flash Drive ?

  • Great Product.... I Love it...........

  • I have to decide between Huawei p8 lite and Sony xperia aqua m4. Can you please tell me which one has a better camera????

  • i have P8 lite about 1 year ago......not slow ... best cell phone for using

  • You're welcome. Yes, firmware Asia Pacific is official from Huawei website, the method only I use for flashing is not OTA.

  • So far I use this P8lite, very good. I set bartery performance to be performance. I have no complaint about battery. I should charge minimal twice a day is OK.

  • If heavi user choose y6 pro. If moderate user ofcourse p8 lite better

  • Guyz, Huawei p8 lite or Samsung j3(2016)?

  • I want to buy Huawei p8 Lite. Please update me about this phone. Specs are as under. But some peoples think its processor is so less, so slow with passage of time. Is it true? Memory:- 16 GB Build in Ram:- 2GB Processor:- 1.2 Ghz. Please update me. Waiting for your precious comments.

  • hello guyz! i am in a stuck up between Huawei P8 lite or huawei Y6 pro??? which should i buy/

  • i just bought p8lite last night. And i even compared both phones before purchasing at the store counter. If u the type of girl who wish to take selfies in the dark, J5 is preferable since the selfie flash is brighter than P8's. But if ure into the processor and ram and stuffs, i suggest P8 since it has better specs and larger RAM size. And the design is better than that of samsung's.

  • U are lucky, so i guess i am supposed to wait for the official update...thank u anyway :D

  • My case was also latest version when connected with HiSuite. That's why I did flash rom by downloading the Android 6.0 Asia Pacific firmware from Huawei website. Using HiSuite I flashed my Huawei P8lite, at that I took the risk if my phone would be problem or stuck in logo because I read at the PDF file after I downloaded the firmware, the requirement should firmware Lollipop CB190, my Huawei was CB170. I did flash by taking the risk if later after flashing my Huawei would be problem. In fact, I was successfully flash to Marshmallow. So far the performance is good.

  • I connected my p8 lite with hisuite and it says latest version. I have 5.0.1 android. My build number is ALE-L21c180b130. Is that something i should be worried about ?

  • Didn't receive OTA Marshmallow update yet, doesn't mean disappointment. My Huawei P8lite didn't receive OTA Marshmallow update too, but I updated manually by suing HiSuite in PC. And in fact, it was successfully updated. Let's say, if my method was not succesfull, I would still OK in Lollipop 5.0.1.

  • My opinion, Honor 5C is better. I don't consider much design, but specs are better and usually my first priority to decide to buy it or not

  • My does my phone(Huawei p8 lite) have only one speaker working?

  • Huawei P8Lite I had both, and i prefer P8 Lite, only for the camera, is way better, but for other purpose, they 're basically the same, so if you dont mind the camera, you should buy the cheapest of the two phones

  • I prefer huawei p8lite 16gb + 2GB ram J5: 8GB/16GB (depends of the model, but always is the version with 8GB) + 1.5GB RAM and the camera is pretty good (for a casual pic)

  • I was wondering the same thing...cause I am waiting for the OTA upgrade in Kuwait...but still Nada..guess it really depends on the country...so I am running Android 5.0.1...while others are already on marshmallow...this sucks!

  • i should buy p8 lite or honor 5c? both are the same price in my country. i prefer p8 lite design but honor 5c specs are better. i can't decide which one i should buy

  • J7 2016

  • Yes. But the battery lasts 3 hours at most.

  • It can handle almost anything when its in performance mode

  • No, battery is non-removable.

  • Yes :)

  • Can you play pokemon go play on the p8

  • The P8lite is still better. 2 GB RAM and double tap to wake is nice.

  • Bought the phone, Im realy not happy with the camera, white shadow, a lot of noise and red eyes when photo's taken with flash, In the dark the flash is of no good.

  • Hello guys ^_^ Which phone is better to buy? Huawei p8 lite or Samsung j5(2015)?

  • huawei p8lite or samsung j7?

  • I have just purchased this huawei p8 lite phone knowing it is a dual sim only to find out i have to choose between having two simcards or having a simcard and micro sd.This is so disappointing.Can you help???

  • Yes, me too. I notice it today. By seeing in the setting, option"none" is disabled by system administrator.

  • iv"e hah my p8 for 6 weeks now and I love it but reading this page I never knew it was dual sim but I know it"s 128g memorie card and not 256g that it holds once you see what this phone can do and the picture on the screen you wont look back

  • Hello! Please tell me your opinion.... Which phone is better to buy? Huawei p8 lite or Lenovo Vibe K5? Thank you in advance!

  • I haven't recieved an update, what version of p8 lite do you have ?

  • I got android 6.0 and it's good but when I set password and I want to set none back it can't work. Anyone has that problem or not please help me.

  • I got an update to 6.0, so check today you may get an update notification. Pozdrav :)

  • I got an update today to 6.0 :)

  • OTA update notification was not available for me....I had to manually upgrade it...how did you receive notification for OTA upgrade??...and does it depend on the country you're in??

  • Redmi 3 and P8lite are almost have the same specs. If you still love Redmi 3, keep using it. If would like to change the phone between P8lite and P8, choose Huawei P8.

  • I updated my P8lite 2 days ago. I used HiSuite in PC running Windows XP. The firmware I used was ALE-L21 Asia Pasific downloaded from P8lite in Android 6.0 ALE-L21C636B540 works very good. Notification, Twitter, WhatsApp, BBM, Facebook, work fine. When the phone is being charged, it will sound once. When it is being charged, if there is new incoming notifications, the LED notification will keep blinking on and off. Previously in Lollipop B170, no act like this. So far, the P8lite Marshmallow works very good and I like it.

  • Go to the officisal site on huawei macedonia download marshmellow and install you have tutorial how to instal greethings. By the way Im from Macedonia

  • I have It for a year and I am very satisfied . I had a problem with messaging (it was always senting greek messages with caps lock but I am using another app now)but I have a question,does it support OTG?

  • My Huawei P8lite ALE-L21 didn't act consume internet kuota much.

  • Hi, i baught my Huawei P8 Lite about 4 months ago. Changed from my samsung S4 to this phone. Its by far the worst phone regarding Data usage? all 3 of my friends have the same phone as i do and have the same problem. I have restricted back-round data and all sorts. I baught 1GB on Saturday morning and this morning i have 188MB left. i haven't opened any apps but whatsapp. PLEASE HELP - its so expensive. How can i make the data usage less?

  • i cant connect my huawei p8 lite in our wifi. pls. help me

  • P8 lite is a very good and reliable mobile phone in terms of price, durability, Camera quality, Guest mode, Battery time (not on 3G/4G), Signal strength etc. The only problem with the handset is that its not Full HD means picture resolution is not good.

  • Galaxy J5 is only has 1,5 GB. The P8 lite ALE-L21 comes with 2 GB. I would recommended P8 lite ALE-L21, beside 2 GB RAM, it has double tap to wake feature. Samsung Galaxies never use that feature in default.

  • Samsung j5 or huvawei p8 lite??? I m facing the same situation n need quick advice in one hour..

  • The phone is crab. It is so bad that my 8 year old son refuses to give me his iPhone 4s in its exchange. 1st the battery does not last as long as they claim. I use it as a second phone but it last 1/2 as long as my iPhone 6s last. I would be lucky if it lasts for 1 day. and this is with it being in my bag and not in use. When i use I get max 12hours. It charges for over 3 hours most times. It cannot run CSR racing II. No Gyro sensors ... Wait no sensors at all. The only thing lovely about the phone phone is the shake thingy to change the wall papers and the price. But you are probably better of buying an entry level samsung than this phone. If you need a phone to read emails, sms and whatsapp + calls. Then it is brilliant. But please please please stop comparing it with main streams.The 13MP camera is not even as good as it claims to be.

  • I'm from Bulgaria and my p8 lite updated like 2 days ago. You should be good to go imo

  • p8***

  • pi lite or j5

  • Beginning to loose faith in Android phones. Not into Apple either. They (Android) keep on failing.there is always some glych or teething issue. I keep hearing about wifi issues which worries me as I bought this phone as a back up to my lg g4 that has a "known problem" with is chip. This p8 lite feels good in the hand and so lovely to use, but I fear there is a built in self destruct as with all the other Android phones out there beside Samsung It pisses me off that you spend good money on these phones and your lucky to get over a year out of them before they become dysfunctional.fingers crossed. Again

  • I have had my phone for about 8 months now. It worked flawless for a while but coming from a Nexus 5 to this had its problems. The screen on this phone is not as sensitive when typing. Up until recently everything was perfect till all my photos got corrupt on the phone memory. They appeared as black with no thumbnail, my usual backup also got corrupted with this so was left with nothing. I called Huawei who could only say sorry. After reboot phone is okay but i am scared to take photos as the memory card also got corrupted. Both sides. I am now looking for a new phone but feel a bit put off..was thinking 5c.. but maybe not.

  • not otg support.

  • p8 light or oppo A37?

  • I can`t update my p8 lite to marschmallow 6.0 I am using ALE-L21 and still using 5.0.1 Lollipop. Does anyone knows why I can`t update to marschmallow. I`m from Macedonia. Anyone please help!!!

  • I had trouble connecting too, but once I went to: Settings/Wi-Fi/Menu/Advanced Settings Keep wifi on during sleep - Always Scanning always avaliable - On, the Wi-Fi connecting much better.

  • Same problem here, dude. From what I saw, it's a common problem and the "solution" (if you can call that a solution) is to change to default google keyboard, which doesn't have the swype function. I'm really disappointed with this.

  • Great phone with one flaw - MMS. MMS fails to retrieve messages, and when a message is stuck the data connection also goes offline. Have also had problems with WiFi failing to connect but working OK after a reboot. Very frustrating, I have returned it under warranty after only 2 months. Expecting the problem to be fixed.

  • My Huawei P8 lite is fine. WhatsApp, Gmail, Facebook, Messenger, all sound.

  • p8 lite Huawei is one of the best-selling phones in 2015. In buying it do not doubt

  • This phone is just an awesome product from Huawei, p8 lite works smoothly very handy I am totally happy… thank you Huawei…

  • Spectacular, fulfills my day to day requirements needed from a device.Fast downloading,great camera capacity,quick and easy.

  • If you have problem with this phone about can't connect to wifi..just go to the huawei service center because I think it's a software problem they will give you a new phone right away...I'm having the same problem before after they change the phone there is no wifi problem with this new phone at all...and this new phone work absolutely fine...

  • Go to settings then sound then default notification tone then choose a tone. Maybe it is set on "none". Given that all of the apps in the notification center is "on".

  • Hi there, I would like to find out from other P8 lite users, when I receive a whats-app message I do not get a "tone" notification. All notifications is on "on". I know it is settings, just not sure what setting.

  • For those whose having wifi problems, try to restart your wifi router and make sure you downloaded the "huawei hilink" app. Hope it helps.

  • My Huawei P8 lite (ALE-L21) till now works fine (build number L21C636B170 Indonesia region), no complaint about WiFi and no complaint about keyboard freeze. This build number is latest firmware update in Indonesia region and this is very good compared previous firmware version. For ton of issues/complaints in social media, internet, all smartphones have pros and cons and have issues. Before I use Huawei P8 lite I use Meizu M2 note second, there was issue too with Flyme 5 (it would stuck for the first user Flyme account if second user updated from Flyme 4.5.4.2i to 5.6.1.0G, and Zheng Meizu couldn't help me unlock or delete first user Flyme account and the most weird, he said the Flyme email first user didn't match with his system. In fact, the Flyme 4.5.4.2i could unlock the first Flyme account user and matched with the system, but in 5.1.6.0G, no). Before I used Meizu M2 note, I used iPhone 5S, before I used iPhone 5S, I used Asus Padfone S, I also encountered problem. It was randomly restart if I use firmware Lollipop WW 37, WW 41, WW 43. Before I use Asus Padfone S, I used Xiaomi Redmi 2, it also faced my complaint too, even worse. Xiaomi Redmi 2 lag, open Chrome browsing frequently appeared "not responding, close it. Yes or no". Open camera and closed, frequently "just wait a sec" (loading before before back to normal) and lag all things when it was in charging. Many complaints, but by the way, my current phone Huawei P8 lite so far is good. Did I face problem with P8 lite? Yes I did, in firmware build number CB150. The problem were typing 2 characters (double typing) and virtual keyboard that sometimes close itself (act like I press back button). In firmware CB170, those double typing and close itself virtual keyboard, were fixed. For lag, all Android are almost never face no lag. My Huawei P8 lite also sometimes little need time when move from one app to another app. It is normal, 2 GB RAM can't do much things. For no lag (maybe very very less lag) I ever used, was iPhone 5S. This iPhone 5S was very satisfy me much. No lag moving from one app to another app and to another app an etc. But also, iPhone 5S has cons. iPhone won't allow user download for free mp3 files using Safari, UC Browser or other browser. iPhone won't allow user set ringtone be ringing tone downloaded from iTunes Store.

  • Bought this phone in april and i absolutely love it. Only downside is that you cant change battery by yourself. But great phone, 9/10

  • I bought a p8 lite dual SIM phone in April, great! Then last week (august) cannot connect to WiFi and keyboard keeps freezing, tried most of the tips except factory reset, thousands of threads/complaints/forums on this issue all over the world, contacted huawei waiting for solution. Frustrating

  • Best fone even not expensive....Good performance.....I'm really satisfied huawei p8 lite...the camera its very good...I recomended this fone to my friends and family.....

  • un check the camera option under display > lock settings

  • Maybe you should have bought a Sony if you wanted a phone that ain't got problems with water hey. Anyway sorry about your phone. And you should have removed the batter after getting splashed over by water. That would have saved your battery. At least I think. That's what I do with my phones in cases like that cos you get your terminals frying everything in the phone cos water conducts electricity.

  • I have this phone for about six months now and all I can say is its a good phone. No issues until now. I drop it four times and its still functioning at top condition. Im not endorsing this phone or whatsoever. Im just glad that I bought this phone. On the first months, I also encountered some issues you guys are saying like wi-fi or data not working and sometimes hanging. But based on my experience with this unit. For the wi-fi or data problems, I think the phone just needs some break-in runs. Try to close the data and turn it on again and it will again run fine. For the hanging issues. Again based on my experience, I think sometimes its the apps that you install that are making the problems or there are too many apps that are simultaneously running. Well thats it, If I will rate it from 1-10, 1 being worst and 10 being excellent. I say I will rate it 8. Bye..:)

  • I am using this phone for almost 11 months. I didn't get any problem regarding wifi!!.. but battery backup is a issue. I need to charge the phone twice in 24 hours sometimes..

  • Very good phone just battry life is a but bad.

  • My Huawei P8 lite so far is good, no complaint about WiFi. I connect my phone to modem Bolt! 4G LTE portable WiFi, it can be connected successfully.

  • I receive P8lite yersterday I donot know how to open even the screen please help me

  • I use Huawei P8 lite (ALE-L21) since August 9, 2016. I like this phone. The problem I notices first was double alphabet typing and virtual keyboard off itself (act like I press back button). It was happen when I was in ALE-L21C636B150 build number. I decided to update firmware via OTA yesterday to ALE-L21C636B170, the problem is gone now, but I will keep notice and plan to share here again if I find something wrong. So far I don't face any big problem, WiFi works fine, calling works fine, messaging, internet, download, YouTube, work fine too.

  • Sea tide struck me while phone was in my pocket. I got the phone out of pocket and put in a bag. After 2 to 3 hours when i got back to the phone, it was very hot and turned off. Water damaged! What a shitty piece of work by huawei to not provide sufficient protection from water. Moreover, no warranty provided by service center. Also, service center (Rawalpindi, Pakistan) said warranty will be void when they open the set themselves. Its all crap. Do not spend your hard earned money on such a piece of crap that does not have water protection. Regards, Unsatisfied Customer

  • How to up date android 6.0

  • Huawei p8 lite is good but now , WiFi IC compliant I can't use wifi

  • Is p8 lite support with usb drive.

  • how about you update it to android 6.0?

  • search on google of how you can activate your gyroscope, you ignorant fuck, and update it to android 6.0

  • no bcz of wifi issue

  • Wifi is a major issue in this cel... wifi does not connect wid any router n without wifi a cel is useless really disappointed :(

  • Sometimes when your battery is below 30% it will not properly connect to wifi. It will connect but no data will be transferred. Charging your phone and restarting it fixes that. And please note, when using a different charger which does not come with the phone will not charge it sufficiently. Your battery might say 40% and when restarting it, will show 5% which is the true power left, so power is not enough to transmit data. Use original charger to prevent that from happening.

  • Its a very good and beautiful phone I am using it for a long time

  • Does anyone know how to disable camera on the lock screen of this phone.

  • maybe you can solve your wifi problems by switching channels at your wifi router. You can set it on channel 11 or 9, it solve my trouble.

  • DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. I chose this phone over Samsung J7 because I found it more attractive, but after like 2 months, I have a problem with wifi. It won't connect if you go far from router(connects within my room only) and even if it connects, it won't work. I also found that there is no gyroscope.
