Huawei P9 lite - User Reviews

  • How get nightshot on Huawei P9 Lite ?????

  • P9 lite is pretty good phone. It's specs are higher than many phones that its segment. But there is a only and most important thing that its internal storage. Storage is a really joke such that it swelled out after one half year! After that you don't able to use the phone regularly. Also this phone isn't been rooted.

  • good cellpohne, good qualilty . good battery good camera but i need an upgrade now!

  • great phone.bulletproof.

  • Look for a tiny keyboard icon, or go to Settings > System > Languages and input

  • speak to txt!!, howdo i turn off and return to normal print to txt?

  • Please tell me We can use USB Thanks

  • l 31 the best phone ever it has been a year but it still works best for me

  • Hello, Can you give us the link for your own LOS 14.1 please? Thanks you..

  • My P9 Lite (VNS-L31) still rocks with my own custom LOS 14.1 ... faraway better than any stock rom ! The sound, camera, battery and internet speed are better than stock too ! This phone is a beast for advanced users and devs !

  • I have used p9lite for 3 years it a good phone and very durable and very good looking my problem is one the battery runs out so fast mostly if you 4G Internet speed, secondly its camera in the dark it cant take photos well because the photos can will be so dark completely but during day the photo is so amazing mostly the selfie but the colors remain normal, the display resolution is very poor am yet to try P9 PLUS

  • I also have L-31 but mine is not updating

  • It does not supports OTG And I have l31 but it's not updating to nougout 7.0

  • I hated how it killed background apps and processes. It caused notifications disappearances. Regardless the battery saving options. Besides that, that was quite a comfortable device.

  • hey, tell me someone its that compatible with UHs 3 class 10 micro sd cards. tks

  • Volte

  • how can i transfer my apps to sdcard? huhuhu

  • I am rather sure they meant the 2017 version, which does have the glass back. Personally I have owned both the 2016 and 2017 versions. The 2016 version is much better in terms of design, but the battery seemed to be worse.

  • How do u activate WiFi calling on P9 Lite

  • Hey smartpants How can you even break the back glass if the back of the phone is plastic? Think a little bit before you write something

  • Add a Sandisk SD card 64 or 256 Gigabite card and you have a phone for life. Switch off phone, insert card, sw. on and go to "Memory and Storage". You will see Portable storage and "Default Location" click "Default Location" and select "SD Card".!! and you shall have more than enough storage. Enjoy. I Am enjoying mine tremendously.!

  • Will it get the Oreo update?

  • Just get an extern sd card and you're good

  • I have the L31 version for 2,5 years now. Works great! I mention that i`m not a phone gamer - i saw that playing a lot on phones kinda breaks them quicker.

  • Still have it. Works great.

  • Been using this since 2016 still alive.. battery performance still at its peek. I already drop this a many times before.. performance still good.. the only thing is the storage.. I'm having problems with the storage

  • Everything is excellent about this phone.But How can I increase msg limit...the limit is only 160 letter..... I wannna write messege on 2nd page after finishing the 160 letters limit

  • this phone works awesome..It's give me very good performance and a little bit problems its internal storage is not enough me and others persons feels same problem with me...love this phone very very much....

  • still working perfect... wish to have otg support..

  • May i want to know the phone it works volte orelse show lte

  • Using this mobile fone for almost 2.5 year. Still working good. Overall satisfied performance. Still performance is still up to par. 16GB storage is not enough.

  • After 2 years i got a draining battery and ram is not good enough to run. it freeze sometime but i still love the phone the fact that it is light and handy. And if only their internal storage is 32GB space then i might continue to use it

  • After 2 years, it is still a good phone, just Bluetooth bug and 16GB phone memory. another bad side is when phone charge level below 20% it's live only for 5 min if phone data or wifi is on. otherwise a good phone with very low sound quality. :)

  • after using this for 2 years i would go with sony

  • After two years of using this phone, I must say that I am mostly satisfied with it. The problems that I faced are bad audio quality (the earphone that comes with the phone is shitty too), low internal storage (16 GB), tend to get hot at hot weather (putting it into the fridge for a moment solve the problem though) and sometimes it lags (it is a two-year-old mid-range phone what do you expect). It is a satisfied purchase, but I will not recommend anyone buying it in 2018.

  • how do we know which one is real one?

  • this or an ex flagship sony xperia z3? which is better? thanks

  • 2 years passed still working fine , a nice fone overall camera is creating sometimes problem after a long wait it opens .

  • Had this phone for 2 years now, overly really satisfied, always done great with all types of tasks. It is durable too, weared it with a case only for 2-3 months and dropped it numerous times, screen is intact. Ultimately though, it has started crashing me out of Facebook and Instagram on a few occassions, also it has a problem with charging port as it constantly "loses contact" with the charger, and these small problems are a bit annoying. 9/10, a real deal for the money.

  • I also have this phone for more than 2 years but in my case the battery is draining fast right now.

  • had p9 lite for more than 2 years, has been working great, except that the memory is quite less and would like to have at least 64gb! other than that, the battery is perfect and the pictures are great as well.

  • P9 lite user here.. the heat source you described is conming from the cpu.. thats where it's located..it means you have something overusing your cpu... Constantly running at its fullest.. i recommend that you format your phone..

  • I have had the P9 lite for about a year, but a few days ago the phone started getting warm and not holding a charge. It now takes about 16-18 hours to charge and holds a charge for less than 8 hours (with the phone in standby - no calls or web surfing). Normally I would just replace the battery, but the battery is built-in. It also bothers me that the source of the heat is at the upper end of the phone, well above the battery and at the opposite end of the phone from the charging port.

  • Had P9 lite 2 years, everything works well, its only the 16GB not enough after those apps upgrade.

  • From one day to another my phone started to gobble the battery power. The OS is Android 8.0 but after the software update it used the power normally for a good while, then once it changed its behaviour. No new app installed. Earlier I had to charge it every other day only, now it cannot run for 24 hours with the same low level usage. I use this phone from August 2017, so it is ca. 15 months old. Does anybody experience such a problem? Should I have the battery changed?

  • P 9 Lite is very good. Everything works perfect (even camera has manual settings after the update) but after the Oreo Update the free memory from the 16gb with 5-6 apps are only 1Gb free. You can not use app to SD programms. I try everything but they didnt work. Too bad because i like this phone. I will try for last time factory settings. If i don t fing any more free space i don t now what to do.........I m searching for a solution without root......

  • Better you buy Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 for 179 $ for this reasons : 1. Better battery , almos 9 hrs of SOT 2. Infrared Port 3. More pixeles , more display , 6´´ 4. Design and features . Better camera ;)

  • My Huawei P9 lite is running out of memory. Features in general are fine, but it is disturbing to know that Chinese are doing something in the background without me having any control over that. Most likely that is why the phone is almost out of memory, too. Any suggestions what is a good replacement? Prefer non Chinese brand.

  • hey dude, what u do expect from a euro 210 phone?

  • hi everyone..my suggestion for all of you if u wana buying mobile phone just buy the p9 lite . its perfect mobile by every single feature. but original p9 lite not copy . copy phonr available in 13000 pkr. original maybe not in market but used available.

  • The phone is fine. the main launcher and the base of the phone's software are kinda weak and don't give enough customizability, which can be fixed by installing launchers. I do like the fact that pretty much everything can be customized with the right app.some other phones do not allow this level of customization. the default phone manager on the phone is GOD.

  • HeyTo be very honest with you, NOPE. Im currently still on a contact with this P9 lite and was the worst choice for me.. Phone is fine but the software give alots of troubles, battery hardly keep long depends on which apps, Pokemon, Pubg etc drain them quick. Camera is okay but better phones is now out. I won't go back to huawei phones again... Biggest improved they need is theirs OS AND SOFTWARE OF ALL NEEDED.,

  • is p9 lite phone battery good

  • A S5 is 10 time better then this phone! I have this phone for over a year now. This are some of the problems with it: 1 the audio quality is execrable (an analogical phone has better quality then this one, is so bad that I have to introduce myself overtime and check that I call the right person), the glass displayed is so slippery that the phone just slaps from every surfaces (I manage to destroy the back glass after 2 weeks), the pictures do not have true colors, and after 15 month the capacity of the battery drooped by more then 1/3 (it can be used on battery max 6 hours)

  • I have this phone and I use two sim card's and it's working perfect

  • This phone doesn't allow... So, you can't

  • I love this phone since it takes beautiful pictures and in terms of security purposes it is good because no one can access the security coding

  • sim 2 card slot not working

  • anyone know how to move app to sd card in P9 LITE?

  • Does anyone got Android oreo on l31?

  • The camera is suppose to be good but the image turn out to be quite bad. Immediately sold it away. Disappointing phone.

  • Before my P9 Lite 2/16 I've used Sam's Galaxy S4 9515 Value Edition. I must confirm that P9 Lite system performance is much below Galaxy :( It freezes to death when loaded with only 3 apps: Google Maps, Skype & Yanosik (some local trafic monitor used in eastern EU). I can see messages of dyig MAPS or other applications which are unable to work on tjis sytem like it was 1 CPU old crappy tablet from 8 years based on Allwiner A13!!! It's even much worse than my wife's Doogee X5 Pro 2/16. But this is nothing compared to constant lack of FLASH mem. This crappy device has 16GB only on paper... I've installed only 383MB! of apps and I use 16GB SD card for all my stuff (photo, app data & etc). This rubbish device is nearly as low as 1GB (ONE GB!!!) free space left from 16GB!!! This is amazingly crappy system design. Its hard to imagine how such a good HW can be messed up with a really BAD system implementation.

  • Before Huawei P9 lite, I had another smarthphone, which had 4000 ma battery and 2 gb ram. Even though Huawei P9 lite has 3 gb ram, you can't feel it, it works worse than the old one. The battery lasts less than a day, even without wifi, internet or any applications. The display has faded colors and the luminosity practically inexistent. The pictures and videos where I use flash appear as though the light reflects in something. I gave up any applications, because the battery would last a few hours tops. And even so, I have to charge it by the evening. On the old phone,the battery would last 2 days with wifi and internet permanently on, music, apps, games, you name it. Not impressed with it, really dissapointed.

  • This is by far the best budget phone I have ever had. The camera has astounding quality, the display is very bright and clear, battery life is decent enough and the phone itself is very beautiful and thin. The hardware's speed is incredible even after two years of owning the phone and I would suggest it to anyone

  • Worst phone I ever had. It's too thin, not ergonomic, some apps freeze or just force close (though I have the newest updates and keep it clean). GPS is sometimes not working and sometimes it deletes my offline maps in Google Maps. Also, sometimes it can't recognize some Wi-Fi networks or the signal is too weak. My old G630 would have full Wi-Fi signal working perfectly, while this one would have just one line of signal. Wi-Fi would work very slow. Both phones were at the same place catching the same signal. I fortunately broke it today and don't even feel bad for it. Going to buy something better.

  • Please, has anyone heard the P9 lite 2016 is likely to receive upgrade to Oreo? Already the 2017 model has been receiving upgrades. I hope they do.

  • In AnTuTu, specification on my phone is for CPU: Snapdragon 617.... how, i think is a Kirin 650 ??? What is this, what is correct ?

  • Try switching it back on.

  • You have a problem

  • For which region/country?

  • My phone just switch off Huawei P9 lite , please I need some help want to do pls.

  • Get everything by your Google Account, It is easy if you know your Google Account log in information.

  • Hello, I forgot the password from the phone, please help me how I could make a new password, thank you

  • no

  • Anyone receive the Oreo update yet?

  • My P10 lite availabile

  • No

  • This phone availibile android 8.0 oreo update?

  • Mine never show beeing diode, even the battery below 20 or below 10%.

  • I buy this phone recently,But i m confused with one thing.On all phones that i have before when sreen is off but battery get below 15% led diode start emiting red light,but wizh this phone leave phone on desk when was 20% after few hours i take it and see that battery is 13% but diode wasnt showing low battery?Then i thinked maybe will turrn on belowb10%;i waited to get 9% also no doide.Is this normal on this phone or i have some problem?

  • I dunno, just when i checked my phone ar 3 am, it show notification about the update, total update i got was 1.7 GB. Now my patch is B394.

  • Where can i get this update?

  • Get update with size 450 MB which frees more than 1 GB internal storage. Now downloading second update, it is said for increasing front camera quality for another 448 MB.

  • Truly one of the best budget phones of its day. Just got the June security patch. Great support for a 2 year old budget phone. Battery life still excellent. Performance could be faster but it hasn't noticeably slowed from Day 1 either.

  • P9 lite is still holding up very good after 2 years, most phones do. It is rather slow when web browsing and its performance is underrated compared to even 2012 flagships.

  • Got security patch update yesterday for 1st May 2018. Freed up some storage.

  • Nothing to worry about!! It's normal

  • Using this phone(P9lite_L21) for past 2years, still working in good condition. Only thing internal memory 16GB very less.

  • yes thats normal

  • yes its normal ..

  • Had this phone for 2 yrs, no lag, runs ALL the apps I have installed including off line Sat Nav, bluetooth connects to my car, watch and speakers with ease, I do not understand others issues with this???????

  • I bus this phone 2 days ago and i am confused with one thing.Normaly on other phones when charging,is example red diode,when phone is 100%diode become green.Today i put phone charging and i wanted to be 100% and this phone when charging diode is normally,after around 2 house diode become green,then i unplug phone from charger thinking is full,but after unpluging i see on screen percentage of battery it was 90% exactly.Then i put it back on charger and phone still again was green diode and after maybe 20 minute come till 100%.Is something wrong with my phone or thats normal on huawei that diode become green after 90%???

  • I got the code via email request, they asked me why you needs it. my answer was new emigrate country doesn't support original network carrier so that I would like to change the firmware. you can restore it back with nougat rollback package and marshmallow restore OS. I can't find any good merit on lineageos so I got back stock os.

  • Very bad company. They shut down their restore server, locked very bad their bootloader, so i cannot install a lineage os. Now it is bricked. Hardware is good, but firm politics seems to be to work against their consumers, so no more huawei

  • P9 will not get Oreo update because this smartphone is not flagship. Translated by: Google

  • what could be the problem if i enable data and it disconnect network,both of simcards does not connect to mobile data .and now it only allows one simcard to work but when i turn the data on it disconnect network and that one with no network become active.

  • Its only security patch from Google 1 April 2018 its there latest my one is L31C185B393 3Gb ram got it tonight its 147mb nothing changed expect internel memory free up 1gb almost and security improves.

  • september 23

  • got it and intall it so far phone working fine no issues

  • In my opinion, the phone sucks. I sufferes from mayor lag issues and the quality of the phone is bad as the motherboard broke but the phone itself remained untouched. The back and the front screen were perfect but such an important thing as a motherbroad broke inside. I do not recommend.

  • I have 3 gb L31 type and up till now since 1.5 years ago, it works great, battery still runs for 1.5 days with power off and on schedule at 1 am and 5 am. Never face lag at all. The camera is good, still comparable with 2017 phone camera. Speaker isnt so loud, yes i agree, but with good screen, good durability (often falls over but still darn survives), nice interface, hidden menus, good on catching signal, love this phone so much. Hope this phone will get O update.

  • September 2018

  • I also got this update yesterday but haven't downloaded it because of slow internet connection. When I saw that I got an update notification I thought it was an Oreo update 😂 but it turns out to be some Google security patch update. Huawei haven't forgot their 2 year old P9 lite 😊

  • Anyone installed the VNS L21C185B393 update? any new features? problems? Please respond

  • Indeed! Not a single chance to outrun Sony XA/XA1 multimedia and connectivity (same class-price tag), only exception it's its battery backup in some usage conditions. Camera it's such a lame also. Dropping resistance makes no sense to buy it in any case. Not recommended at all.

  • I use this phone as my daily driver for almost two years. Battery can still handle one day of usage, if you decrease games or demanding tasks a little bit. Updates make the phone even better, I have Android 7.0, thanks Huawei for upgrading mid range phones. Its screen is very common for 2016 phones, no issues on that topic. Camera is not handling well in low light conditions, but I can still shoot some nice photos on my holidays, it is good but not great. Speaker sometimes pisses me off, I think it definitely needs more volume, but for watching a video at home it does its job well. Fingerprint is awesomely fast for its price, I love it. I have the 2GB RAM version, and it reloads the apps very often, it is quite annoying when gaming, it doesn't manage my apps well. Two years of usage though, and it lags very seldomly! That's quite impressive! All in all I love my phone, it is still 100% usable and the best phone of all I've ever bought at that range of price.

  • Have this phone for the almost 2 years, here are the pros. , good battery stand by good looking with fast fingerprint and great screen and moderately speedy. Cons. has good (not great) camera, terrible terrible ram management had an htc before it never cleared anything this thing clears like everything after switching from one app to another and you have to reload everything including the place where you were (annoying), tried to white list and everything trust me it's disaster. updates forget them maybe one big and one small update. it's great phone for the price.

  • Guyss it's the worst phone ever! If your planning to buy this, don't! I'm telling you, you will regret it, it works even slower than a dual core once you use it for a short period of time, i’ve been using it for 7 months, internal 3 gb free, still works like a piece of trash! DON'T BUY THIS PHONE

  • Oreo Update?

  • thats what mine is doing as well

  • What time will be upgrade into 7 Auto correct not working

  • Everything is working great, except.... with huge disappointment that OTG is not working.

  • Why there can send a text or message of only 90 words..?Its a problem And i can't get the contact numbers of my google account though i submitted the google account..??

  • The equipment is very good in relation to cost quality, but it is really regrettable that deliberately does not have activated the OTG that equipment of smaller benefits if they have it activated

  • You can download Firmware Finder from play store...

  • Mine is fully working!

  • How can i get emmy finder on this divice

  • Why don't two sim cards work on this phone

  • Very good phone for the price. Good performance, good display, quality build, good software. The only flaw I've found so far is with the built-in speaker - it has some noise on low volume and the lowest setting is too loud - not a problem when using headphones

  • After 1 year and 7 months my P9 lite is going great ! upgrade is 7.0, EMUI 5.0.2 . tks Huawei for doing a great job with the midle range smartphones! ( i hade a LG G2 but after a serious problems i decide to remane with P9 lite, the price for LG G2 was 630 euros VS P9lite 249 e)

  • I can't even remember how many times I have dropped it! but it is going great! been a year and a half..can't complain at all!! thanks Huawei!

  • It survived a fall from a balcony on a stone tiles :) aprox 5m height...so Im satisfied :D

  • yes. i upgraded mine and it's great. i hope yours too

  • Heating while gaming is normal and phone gets warm while browsing... It's normal

  • Use app from playstore "Firmware Finder For Huawei" but be careful wrong firmware can brick your phone!

  • Cellphone work great, Sent from Xiaomi Mi Mix

  • I am a trinidadian and I own one of this phone. It's a great phone but how can I upgrade it to Android 7.0

  • My phone doesn't overheat but becomes warm while gaming or browsing and it's normal for every phone!

  • My p9 lite over heat with using internet r game. Any body tell me how their cell phone work.

  • I have the version L-53.It says it can be upgraded to nougat can I upgrade it without rooting it??

  • No Oreo update for this phone

  • I have a p9 lite and I have the version L53 and I wanted to know when the update will be available to install without having to root my phone

  • My huawei p9 lite has a small problem. when i'm using snapchat camera and instagram camera, they always have a camera shutter sound. it's annoying. i muted my main camera sound. but when i using that apps, they always have this problem. i don't know how to solve this problem.(I updated my phone EMUI and apps up to date) help me please :)

  • Sorry. It's kwon as 'BE Y phone'

  • This smartphone has a different model, VNS-L62(also Leon as 'BE Y phone')released in Korea via KT(Korea Telecom). This model comes with Android version 6.0.1, Snapdragon 617, 3GB ram, 16GB rom and 64Gb micro SD card. It downgraded when came in Korea, and it's been a year since they released it, but it have not yet upgraded to Android 7.0 This phone has good performance, and great battery but PLEASE upgrade to android nougat.

  • Oreo update ????

  • I have install L31C432B370 and using it for about 2 months, It's working great n battery timing is also improved! I tried many roms but they were incompatible only B370 found compatible... thanks for response bro!

  • I bought directly from Huawei so it's not a fake. Slow camera is probably software bug affecting only some variants / users but for sure I'm not alone, many people post about it and Huawei didn't manage to fix. I tried to flash custom ROM based on AOSP and if feels like the phone is twice as fast on it. I believe that it works fine for most people running a few generic apps and games, hardware looks good, but if you need full-blown smartphone - forget about Huawei software.

  • Lmao... you must have gotten a fake one... The sd card can be used as an internal.. Camera opens fast, focuses fast and shoots fast.. i have vns l31.. On a benchmark multicore is as fast as the s6.. Either you have a weaken, fake or its filled with viruses...

  • start from the latest and search for the one that is compatible.... For mine l31C432B402 is compatible. higher ones are still not, but they might be.

  • I use this phone as my daily driver for about 1.5 year. It is a pretty nice phone, great display, its performance is decent, and it has a standard 2016 camera, I like Huawei's UI, the speaker could be louder, but it's average and produces clear sounds. The fingerprint scanner was working fine, and became even better after some Android updates. 7.0 Android is also running smoothly and the phone rarely lags. The only "problem" I have faced until now is that I used to go to bed with 50% battery left, and after 1.5 year of usage I go to bed with 15-25% battery, but that's normal and happens even to the best phones. Despite its plastic-made back, the metal side frame, combined with its slim design, is giving a premium feeling to your grip. I have the 16GB/2GB RAM version, and even this version manages fairly good open apps. It usually needs to reload an app from the RAM, but I'm not considering anything better from a last-year's mid range phone. The last two things I'm not a fan of on this phone are; the lack of dual tone flash, so you should expect unusually white pictures if you use the flash, and the higher SAR levels. So, it's not the fastest phone, it doesn't have the coolest camera/video quality, and not the crispier display out there, but it's ONE OF THE BEST MID-RANGE PHONES OF 2016, and is still compatible with the 2017's phones, even though it is a year older. Good job Huawei! All in all, it's the best phone I've ever bought and I expect to use it for surely until 2019 :)

  • Am using VEN L22 model good phone some time camera Lag ,no Oreo update till date in India.

  • used it for a year and few months. it is very nice

  • it is a pretty good phone , after one year of hard using

  • It's great, the UI is really good, camera is OK, no lag in most apps, good build... Feels like a premium phone, the screen is also very good. The best phone in it's price range.

  • I. Want buy hyawei p9lite, pkz tell me your experience, do I purchase thus phone or not.

  • My first and last phone from Huawei. Russian version with 2 GB RAM, EMUI 5.0.1. It looks good, specs and price are reasonable, but Huawei software is a nightmare. They modify Android in a very unprofessional way - disabling handy standard features and adding useless own features and bloatware. The phone is slow for the specs, camera app is extremely slow, it can't use SD as internal memory, Android Smart Unlock is disabled, unreliable notifications, some background apps do not work, unreliable Bluetooth, sync with Garmin fitness trackers doesn't work... I do not recommend this and any other phone from Huawei unless you run only a few very generic apps or enjoy experimenting with custom ROMs.

  • phone settings look for system updates, i think your update settings is not in automatic mode to pop up a new updates for your device

  • Huawei p9 lite can be a great phone , but there are many things are missed: font style, glance ,.. but I did agree on the camera pictures which are great than Samsung camera pictures ; pictures on huawei p9 lite are even great than Samsung galaxy s7 edge.

  • What's your phone build number??

  • Hi I am from pak Kashmir but doing job in Italy.. will you like to tell me how can I update my p9, lite because in there is no option to do it for update..my mob emui is 4.0.1 and version is 6.0 so how can I upgrade please tell me .its big headache.

  • I updated my P9 lite Marshmallow (L31C432B161) to Nougat (L31C432B370) by using firmware finder and the size was 1.93GB... It's working great without any fault!

  • Thank you :)

  • There is no OTG in P9 lite! You can't connect USB

  • Dude there is an app called frimware finder in the play store.. its sure is usefull, watch some tutorials for how to use it.. From that app you can manualy update your phone.. It worked for me tho.

  • i have p9 lite but its unable to pick usb

  • I have P9 lite(Dual sim) VNS-L31C432B161 and still on marshmallow... can anyone tell me the original firmware update for my model(dual sim)

  • i got VNS-L31C432B402 version..sure u will be notificated to update in the future..don't worry

  • Help me please Should i get Huawei P9 lite (i don't know if 2 G or 3 ram) or Samsung Galaxy Note 3?

  • Download an app in plays store called "Firmware Finder" Download the b360 firmware

  • Is this phone getting Oreo?

  • Can you give me a link??

  • Nougat update for this phone is already ~10 months stable and official version.

  • Not true at all! Be sure to factory reset after the update to the 7.9 and you will be fine.

  • Thanks bro! My phone is working great on 6.0! I think nougat is on beta version...

  • Heard some people complain about the upgrade to nougat, if you upgrade it your camera app will crash everytime you launch it and it drain battery a lot so is the best to "Not" upgrade it

  • Will it official with stable state?? I were searching on google but I couldn't find any stable Nougat, they were beta

  • hi I'm trying to actvie my phone it won't allow me to because It wants me to log into my gmail.com in i can't help please

  • try to update to android 7, emui 5 and all works fine, I can not believe that you are still on android 6...

  • Why do I find almost nothing about the P9 Lite 2017 version (which looks substantially updated). Is it because it's so new? All I find is the P8 Lite 2017 which has different specs.

  • best i ever used ...how to upgrade software?

  • Honestly this phone is great,had Samsungs in the past but this phone really surpasses them. Contract is due up in June or July and I will most likely be going for a P10 lite.These Chinese guys have nailed it as I have seen some Chinese phones and they look cheap but this one looks and feels good quality as well as performing well.

  • I received a new update VNS-L31C636B391,anything new?

  • How can i activate P9 Lite to Dual sim. Its only using 1

  • camera cant be ugly,only you can

  • a fast and reliable. octacore and 7.0 with All Focus camera feature and finferprint scanner

  • I have been using a Huawei P8 Lite for more than 2 years. After my P8 Lite broke I bought the P9 Lite which I thought was the logical choice for a replacement/upgrade. I am very dissapointed with the P9 Lite because it is excruciatingly slow, unresponsive and unreliable. The Huawei P9 Lite is just slow, slow, slow. I have been using the P9 Lite for more than a month now, it makes me sick to realize I am stuck with this trainwreck of a phone. How can it be that a much older phone like the P9 Lite with weaker hardware, from the same manufacturer, succeeds where the successor with upgraded hardware fails? I once had a 5$ Pixy Glitz Android phone from Tracfone that was more responsive and faster than the P9 Lite! Avoid. -- Huawei P9 Lite, hardware version VNS-L23 with EMUI 4.1.1 and Android 6.0

  • No

  • I want to update my honor P9 Lite to Nought, but i heard that P9 Lite Nought has too many bugs, could you share your reviews, advantage or disadvantage about new Nought update. TIA....

  • There are chances that Huawei will release Oreo for p9 lite as nokia is releasing android 8 on its every device even Nokia 2 with 4 Core processor and 1 gb ram Wait.

  • Are you kidding me? Huawei haven't released anything about the P9 lite update. I also own a P9 lite great phone but Android 8 is impossible when it comes to midrange mobiles of Huawei.

  • I bought honor 8 smart (P9 lite) from amazon @ INR 7600,It s a very good fone @ this price.Awesome 1080 p display 2 gb RAm, 16 GB rom, 13 mp &8mp camera with fastfinger print scanner. If you go for samsung you will end up with galaxyJ2 @ this price point.

Sound is great, camera very good, screen too. It looks nice, lightweight, I have no complain. For price of 190€ it is really great buy. I didn't use huawei before, but my next phone will be probably p10 or honor 9. Good job Huawei!

  • 5

  • P9 lite

  • Excellent phone. Got it in black Friday sales last year for £160 as a replacement for a galaxy A5 I dropped in the bath. Far superior in every way to the Samsung at a much lower price. Can't fault it for the money.

  • why is not indicated network support 4.5g - LTE Cat.6 FDD Band 1/3/7/8/20. FIX IT.

  • Yeah you should upgrade your phone to naugat. But the update should be provided from OTA. By updating manu issues will be fixed. Battery timing will be increased and many other changes.

  • which is better emui 4 or 5?

  • should I update my p9 to Android 7.0 ???

  • Who said it's weak? It is on them that they will release OREO for P9 lite or not. But major chances are that they will release it forP9 and not for P9 lite. Breccia's Huawei usually updates 1OS on its midrange phones.

  • It will survive in some conditions but be careful it's not a water resistant phone.

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

  • This never happened to my phone. I think you got the damaged phone out of the box :p . Claim your warranty.

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

  • Please tell me should i buy samsung note 4 or huawei p9 lite

  • No, it's not so be careful.

  • Will P9 Lite receive Android 8.0 Oreo Update?

  • Where do I start. The phone is shite. The blue tooth drops all the time on various devices. Bought a sd card for more memory, nothing gets stored there. Calls keep dropping as well. This was my first android purchase, and I hate it. No worth a wank.

  • of course P9 lite. It is far better then J7

  • Pls Help me. Huawei p9lite or samsung galaxy j7 prime best?

  • I am glad for you. Thank you for your nice wishes!

  • Hello. I need professional advice here. My phone fell into the toilet, everything else works absolutely fine, the guy said that I might have to change the battery soon, so I'm being a bit cautious with that. However the problem is that the toilet water screwed the wifi module. I knew that from the start. Because I could still turn the phone on with water inside but wifi wouldn't. I need to know how much it would cost me to get a new one and have it changed.

  • The battery is the worst in regard to gaming...I blog the device in the charger open clash of clans and it's discharging ...love this device but not it's battery

  • You were right. I have updated it and it is working really better than it was on marshmallow.. thankyou for your reply coz without that reply I would never have updated my phone. Stay blessed bro

  • I cant point out any mistakes as english is also not my primary language. Thanks for your response. I am updating my os to nougat. Will tell you hows it going after the update.

  • I had the same problem when i was buying the phone. But, on the end, I am glad that i chose Huawei instead of Nokia. I mean, when I was buying phone I looked for the same model of Nokia like you, but, I think Huawei is better..

  • Battery is still in perfect order. It can last for one or two days with normal or small usage of the phone. It doesn't lag when I open the camera or go to Facebook. Like I said, it is even better than earlier. I am sorry if i made some grammar or spelling mistakes. I am not from country where English is primary language.

  • P9 lite or nokia 5?

  • Thanks. What about the battery timing? Still the same? And I have heard that the phone lags on nougat as it is slow down when opem facebook and camera etc..

  • Definitely Huawei!!

  • Get the P9 Lite.

  • No, it doesn't support USB OTG.

  • I'm thinking of buying this phone or the Samsung j5. Which should I buy? I need help deciding.

  • In theory, an OS upgrade shouldn't affect the data on your SD card. That said though, it's still wise to remove the SD card as you mentioned just in case. Make sure you backup any data you want to keep on your phone memory too, even if it says it's not necessary.

  • Get Samsung J 7 pro.

  • I love this phone, I decided to get this phone as I prefer to buy my phone outright, I desperately needed a new phone and didn't have enough money for a Samsung Galaxy phond. A year on and I can safely say that I've not had any problems whatsoever with this phone. It's not once crashed or even frozen for a second and I have a nasty habit of leaving apps open in the background. The battery life is also pretty decent too, it lasts a day at normal usage and the year I've had this phone the battery hasn't degraded at all. A bit of advice though, if you happen to be in prison, your phone privilleges have been revoked and someone hand you this phone without a case it's a trap. Run, run as fast as you can to the nearest prison guard. As gripping this phone is comparable to holding a wet bar of soap. All in all, I'm glad I couldn't afford a Samsung Galaxy phone.

  • Hi there, can anyone tell me with type of screen protection the Huawei P9 lite is equipped with? Does it have Gorilla Glass?

  • Plus, I forgot to say, I installed a lot of applications and there is 6,97 GB inter memory and 1,70 GB SD memory left because I have only a 2 GB SD card, but I am planning to buy the one with 16 GB memory...

  • I have model with 2 GB ram and 16 GB rom memory within I can use 10 GB. Nougat took about 1.94 GB but it was worth it. The phone is even better than earlier when it was on 6.0 Android version. Also you can put an SD card which can be up to 128 GB. I hope this was helpful for you. Comment your opinion when and if you upgrade it.

  • I have model with 2GB ram memory and 16 GB rom memory within 10

  • If you have upgraded your phone to nougat please let me know how much storage is left? And how is it working ?

  • Honestly!! I don't think the 2GB variant can handle Nougat as the 3GB does, but it's just my opinion ;-) Maybe it's better that you keep mm!! Concerning the storage, I don't remember exactly it was around 8GB!!

  • It helps a lot. Thank you for your opinion. Tomorrow I am upgrading it to Nogat. I didn't put the SD card because I have heard it is better when you are upgrading it without it because of your data.

  • Thank you for your reply my friend. But I have 2gb Variant. Do you think it won't lag? And I want to know that how much storage you got after the update?

  • Go for it bro!! Nougat is just amazing!! Like you at first, I was reluctant to update it!! Today all I can say is that Huawei did a great job!! I love my P9 lite more than ever!! It works fine, even the battery is optimized contrary to what is said!! I got the 3GB variant and my buid number is VNS-L31C185B360. Hope this this helps you ;-)

  • I just bought this phone yesterday.... And so far it exceedes my expectations.. Its awesome. I have it with the 3 gb ram version an updated it to nougat. Havent expirienced any lagg, The front camera is not that bad but the primary is awesome, setting the settings manualy.. I dont like it because i cant choose which apps to be in the sd card, it does that automaticly.. And its better in nougat.. Hope this helps :)

  • I am planing to buy this phone and I have some questions... 1. Is this phone good, I mean what are your opinions about it? 2. Should I upgrade it to Nougat as soon as I get it, or not. I mean is Nougat good or it slows down phone. 3. What are your opinions about its camera because some people said that the camera quality goes down when its half dark or something like that.. Thank you for answers!

  • of course this phone p9 lite

  • Plz tell me Should I upgrade my p9 lite to android nougat because I have got the update but I am not updating it..

  • How is huawei p9lite pictute quality? I want to buy one

  • I instantly got the upgrade I bought it last month

  • So do J.

  • Anyone got Android 7.0 in the UK yet on this phone? I have been waiting for a long time now. My network is Virgin mobile. Purchased the phone from Eglobal central in January 2016

  • Yeah me too. I got an update for my phone too and it's nougat!

  • Go for P10 lite. It's totally bug free :p Yeah after naugat many users are facing problems and I am also facing many problems after the update. P10 lite is direct Naugat out of the box so there is no chance of bugs in that.

  • Only 10 GB and in some variants of VNS-L21 there's only 9.5 GB left.

  • I have used this phone for almost a year (VNS L21,2GB)and the results are here: 1-After updating to Android 7.0,the phone restart itself sometimes 2-Phone heats up on using 4G and several apps 3-Lags in some apps like facebook,pixlr etc 4-RAM Management is very poor 5-The battery timing is still awesome 6-The display is excellent Other problems I have been facing are: No OTG,No Fast Charging,Low Storage,Less RAM

  • No it doesn't support.

  • can any one tell me after updating to nougat 7.0 how much storage is left on 16 GB model

  • Who said that? Huawei launched Nougat for P9 lite two months ago. Now, I'm using Android Nougat on my P9 lite

  • Had it over year now, when I first got it I was very surprised, it is thin, looks good and was quite fast also. Camera is better than any of the phones i've had. Since I am very hard user what means that the phone is always working, most of the time I am at home I use it as wifi router to make hotspot for my laptop. Over the time for last 4 months i have started to hate it, it got slow, lags all the time, overheats and the battery life is very bad. Also because the phone is very thin and the frame is made of aluminium, it bends in pockets really bad, I sometimes have to bend it back normal because touch screen stops working normally and it is weird to even hold it.

  • should i buy p9 lite or honor x6 ? i was buying p9 lite cause i love the camera and desing but 16gb storage and 9 gb on it for apps and data that's nothing and i'm afraid i'll regret it and i heard that there is some bugs in it (on this website) .. i dunno i got the money for 300$ that's why or any other suggestion for a cheap smartphone under 300$ ? thanks

  • Hi I am using a single sim p9 lite can I somehow make it be dual sim

  • do not buy it, the phone is not going to get any more updates and depending on where you live may not even get android 7

  • I was a Samsung user/fan for almost 15 years now, and after my latest Samsung mobile got crapy *3 times getting faults in just 3 months of using) I decided to try a new brand... After long time of searching and watching reviews for various mobile brands and types, i decided to pick up Huawei P9 Lite AND DAMN! I am truly amazed how was I blind with Samsung... This mobile rocks! Have it for 2 months and it still suprises me with some features... not to mention the quality of design. Cant image what would i get in P10 but i was affraid to spend so much on a new brand after being a loyal Samsung user. Now I am sure that I got a new brand for life!

  • Don't listen him. And people if you know and are willing to help, please do, talking otherwise out of bias, is not help.

  • No!

  • Please, I want to known Huawei P9 lite, do support On The Go(OTG)?

  • Thanks everyone. I decided on the P9 lite. I am receiving it next week so excited.

  • I was in the same boat...I took the p9lite and it is a great phone. I would recommend it..

  • In my opinion I prefer you to buy P10 lite. Coz the P9 lite is now a year older mobile but no doubt it is a great phone to use. In my country the price of P10 lite is 270$. P10 has all the upgrades specs like 4GB RAM more internal memory and sleek design body with glass back.

  • Hi im ugrading now and i don't want to take a samsung again. Would like something else. Would you reccomend the Huawei P9 Lite. I like a phone with a good camera . I see the P10 has a 20 megapixel camera but i would not be able to afford that one. So i was thinking about the P9 lite or what do you prefer ?

  • unlock your bootloader first

  • 5 years

  • im using p9 lite.. endurance? light social media and other usage 1-2 days, Normal usage - 1(24 HRS) days no problem, Medium-Heavy can get you 8-12 Hours of FB, Camera etc , Heavy- Gaming 5 hours straight.

  • It's the way ypu use.it I'm using it with gaming and some media and apps without a memoey card . After update a memory is a little less. But works fine to me. Camera is horible . My 925 lumia does better even resolution is less. But works fine. What's wrong

  • I want to get an opinion about this phone before i buy it

  • Is this 3GB RAM version with Mali-T880MP2 ?

  • p9 lite

  • This, Idol 4 or Galaxy J5? I am asking about reliability and durability as well, not just specs

  • Somebody please help me downgrade to android 6

  • I know what I wrote to you. But that was before the naugat update. After the update everything gone mad major issue bad battery performance but in idle it's working fine. Airplane mode issue of Bluetooth itself turning ON.

  • Nice phone, good camera even not like P9 with Leica optic at least u have many option to capture in P9 lite especially for night mode and light tail mode 😂😍 good battery. I wonder if huawei can beat Iphone and samsung. Keep the good work 😆

  • You dont know to use smart phone.. Use landline bro

  • Remember what you worte to me?! "It is very smooth. No kind of battery problem." Anyway!! For me it's working great ;-)

  • Haha, or you simply don't how know to use this phone. - "after deleting all photos and apps, memory is still so full". LOL, sentence of the day. Didn't you check the phone before buying?

  • WORST PHONE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After deleting all photos and apps, memory is still so full I can't even take a screenshot. Phone glitches the whole time!!!!!!Wish I never got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • which ones?

  • I had brought this phone abt one year still working very good no problem at all

  • It's real bullshit. I had bought this phone in November and it was working very very fine. But since the Naugat update which was released in April my mobile is gone mad. I also had hard reseted it after update. But the battery drains fast. There is also a new problem that whenever I turn off the airplane mode the Bluetooth turns on itself. I don't know what to do?? You people at Huawei don't know the problems we are facing after that bullshit Naugat update.

  • I got the Huawei p9 lite for a year know and it as only have one BIG problem. The Bluetooth works really bad! Apart from that I love my phone!

  • Like what phone/s do you recommend?

  • Yes, there is a single sim too.

  • Whoever plan to buy this phone now, I don't think it's a good idea. This phone was released 1yr++. It's not that bad if you wanna get it now but you can get a better new released phone

  • daraz.pk

  • Ive got Huawei p9 lite. Buy from giffgaff phone . Type it in Google

  • hello you have 2 options on P9 lite 1. 2x sim card 2. 1x sim + 1x memo card

  • does all p9 lite phones are dual sim? I am asking because I want to buy it from my friend and he says that it is single sim

  • Why would i delete my stored wifi paswords, hows that gona disable my lockscreen?

  • I want to buy this phone nd i m from hyderabad pakistan i searched whole mobile markeet but no stock pf p9 lite..all shop owners are saying its close now..plzz help me where from i buy huawei p9 lite?or any online store????

  • cough cough spelling error. lol

  • I don't have it either. Really want it though.

  • Those are irrelevant specs comparing to the main specs.

  • Never mind

  • I'm pretty certain that there is no such version. Maybe you meant L21 or L31

  • VNS-L23 have 2 gb ram

  • Just wait and they will contact you if your problem is solved and what to do. I had same problem with my Sony M4 Aqua,it shutdown and never wake up and i took it to the service. They said we will contact you once we figure out what to do with the phone. I was waiting for 30days ( 1 month ) and then they called me and said: " We were unable to fix your phone,if you can come to the service and we will give you a brand new from the factory that sent it to us" I think they will make the same with you,because if phones once shut down and they can't be turned on,their proccesor/graph/inside is burned. I had these problems with 2 of my phones,and same happened...They were totally burned and i got new one in both situations. Just be patient and you will get your phone back. They have right to keep your phone in service for only 1 month and then automaticly give you a new one ( at least in my country is like that )

  • After 10 months of using i was disappointed because my huawei p9lite was shutdown and never turn on. So I decided to brought to the nearest service center here in the philippines but sad to say they will send my phone to the main service center and mostly it will took 3weeks to 1months. Until now I never received any update when to fix and return to me, its been 13days since i surrendered my phone. Pls help me Huawei. this is very dissapointing!

  • MM is stable ... nougat is slow

  • P8 Lite 2017 bad screen and bad camera...

  • don't buy.no fast battry chagin no gyrascope no usb otg no ir port

  • Some time alarm does not work. How to fix this?

  • It sucks that it doesn't support 5ghz wifi network

  • what

  • Settings/Advanced settings/Security/Clear credentials.

  • This is not true!

  • Finally got nougat update this morning. Estonia

  • Hi, Which variant do you have?

  • Absolutely not!! It still very fluid and no issues at all! (At least for me) I love my p9 lite more than ever!! (My build number: VNS-L31C185B360)

  • I advise you not to update to nougat 7.0 .It's really bullshit. Camera crashes and for 3 days I've been trying to downgrade to marshmallow and finally I got it . Beware of upgrading your p9 lite to nougat.By the ways my updating was official via updating though system updating.

  • Is it right that nougat update will make phone slow p9 lite??

  • Definitely p9 lite!!

  • p9lite or p8 lite 2017 or lenovo k5 note or moto g4 plus ??? and why? tks

  • hi acdently reboot my p9lite vai EMUI bt nou da ph doensnt wana start up again just says didnt find correct google acct plz try later

  • Which phone is best plz sughest me? P9 lite or j7 prime? L.e.d notification light is must for me.. And i need fast phone no lag no hang.. I was thinking about honor 6x but it has worst design and look.. Look like a qmbl.. So suggest me plz

  • I just got nougat update, and the fact i cant disable lock screen is driving me crazy, i have to swipe up evry time to get to pin screen. Any way to disable it? I have done it on 6.0 but cant remember how..

  • Hahah so man now which phone u suggest m bro.. I m still confused??!!!!!

  • None of these, You should buy P8 lite 2017 which is also known as Honor 8 lite.

  • Well I don't know about these problems, these issues are may be in some phones. I used P9 lite, it had no issue at all even after 7 months of use, but after nougat update, it was very slow. Huawei phones are good, P9 lite is outdate now and you can buy Honor 8 lite (P8 lite 2017) or honor 6x in almost same price, these phones are much better than P9 lite.

  • I have a note 4 and once the battery is about 4 months old it starts dying at anthing under 50% so I'm thinking to get the p9 lite heard good things

  • Is this the p9 lite acend

  • Yea .u know j7 prime , there's a lot issue and some there not fixed . sad to say

  • the comparison between the two is not logical....of course p9 lite eyes closed.

  • P9 Lite Is Far Better Than Grand Prime Plus Plus Points Over Grand Prime Plus 5.2" 1080p IPS LCD 2/3GB Ram 3000 Mah Battery Octacore Processor Kirin 655 13/8 MP Cameras Android 7.0 Fingerprint Sensor

  • Yeah :(.

  • U buyed p9 lite?

  • j7

  • Yess me too 😔 But huawei p9 lite my final ...

  • Am I the only one who still hasn't received nougat? L-21 Europe. 😥

  • Hey guys plz help me i m very confused between huawei p9 lite and j7 prime? Which is the best for long term use? Suggest a phone which does not hang?

  • I have this phone. The only problem i have is, the automatic focusing makes this weird click noise. I had the main camera in the back changed by professional technicians. But this problem still remains. I'm not sure if this is a common issue - it might be, because the microphone is next to the camera. The repair was included in my 2 year warranty, thank god. Its a nice phone, thats the only problem i've had. I love the nougat update!

  • Good to know!! Thanks dude!

  • It is very smooth. No kind of battery problem.

  • is there any way to install & run apps on SD card for this phone? without rooting of course i have p9 lite and internal memory is run our pretty quick by apps and few games. already moved pics, vids, etc to SD card

  • It's old now, Buy P8 lite 2017, Honor 6x or Xiaomi Note 4

  • Redmi Note 4 is better, P9 lite has no gyroscope, no otg support, android 7 is slow.

  • Hi guys, To those who installed the VNS-L31C185B360 update, What are your impressions? What about drain battery issue? Thx

  • P9 Lite 2017, of course. Xiaomi mainboards is the same like Oukitel, Doogee, etc. I'll never buy Xiaomi again. Poor quality with good software in the middle class.

  • There isnt any activity of the p9 lite sales anymore which has released 2016. Nowadays, the sale has been moved to p10 lite or p8 lite(2017). I would like to ask you that you want to buy a year old product? If you say yes, what's the your reason? Bargin sales for clearance?

  • Hello! I am from Pakistan and the price of p9 lite and Xiaomi Redmi note4 is same here. Which should I prefer?

  • if you have an SD card installed, perhaps it occupies the place of sim2. try removing the sd card. if the phone then shows the sim2 slot, it means you can either use a second sim or an sd card, not both at the same time.

  • plis give me an advice huawei p9 lite or lg k10 2017?

  • yes

  • How is it possible that sim2 slot on my device is inactive? It doesn't show at all

  • I agree with you

  • Thanks buddy. Ramadan Mubarak to you from Pakistan.

  • ok fine , thanks a lots , i will try at night , happy Ramadan kareem , Greetings from UAE - Allah bless you , have a nice day

  • Huawei p9 lite or Huawei p8 2017

  • after half a year: good quality display outside( australia), battery life depending on your installed apps: mine lasts for less than a day. not so happy with the fact that there is no OTR by USB possible, so no attachable 8mm usb camera or music keyboard

  • My p9 lite's battery drain so fast and I m not a gaming person,just have facebook,messenger,whatsapp,instagram

  • I think there is only 2 GB version at my place, but i think it wont be a problem for me since my xperia v refreshes even basic apps lol

  • P9 lite

  • P9 Lite or Samsung A3 2017?

  • You should post EMUI4.1/5.0 when have a update

  • How can I update my software as I'm battling to access my social networks and when I visited my network dealer they say I need to update my software?

  • The silliest question of all time.

  • I also bought this mobile in November. Updated in april having same problem as of you but after updating I reseted my device and all the problems were resolved.

  • i use Huawei P9 Lite since Nov 2016 but after updated my phone with new Version VNS-L21C185B360 , now daily my phone hanging i don't know why, before no issue its was work very well perfect - but from 2 weeks i faced this problems ........... specially when i use Facebook massanger and also when i use VPN for video call -----

  • Anyone notice there's difference​ in volume after N7 update?

  • good day can i make video calls on my huawei p9 lite?

  • P10 Lite

  • Which is better : Huawei P9 lite or Huawei GR3 2017 ( P8 lite 2017 ) ?

  • My p9 lite volume comes very slow either it multimedia or phone call on speaker , guyz plz tell me what is the reason and how can I fix it

  • Yeah I have 2GB RAM variant and yes it has very very little problem of multitasking, but if you get a 3GB RAM variant then there is no such kind of a problem with the multitasking.

  • If youvhave 2GB model does it have multitasking problem(refreshing apps).Thanks 😆

  • Better photos Huawei P10 lite or Huawe P9 lite ? Would you could make a compare between this two ? Thanks

  • Yeah it's a good phone. On normal use without internet it goes for 2.7 days and with heavy use with always connected internet it goes for only 1.2 day. I have this phone and it's working awesome.

  • P9 lite or zenfone 3 max 5.5?

  • guyz i want to buy new phone should i buy this p9 lite ? i am not heavy user of application does this phone perfom well when it comes daily usage?? any suggestions....plz

  • Then what happened????

  • lasted 1day

  • I hard reset my phone twice after the nougat update. Nothing happened though.

  • is emui 5.0 good for battery life

  • Tell me if you had upgraded to naugat and didn't reseted your device???? Coz the normal time of battery is is 1.7 day.

  • Huawei P9 Lite is a great phone. Cheap and performant.

  • Phone only lasted 17 days, then total death.

  • P9 lite... 100% better screen camera battery and android 7

  • p9 lite

  • Tbh, mine never last a day (max is about 10-12 hours of usage, even or without wifi). But I got 4.5-6 hrs screen on time.

  • Neither, get the honor 8 or the p10 lite instead

  • Received an update today, about 262mb. The the update is only security patch (April 2017) and other minor bug fixes. By the way, mine is running nougat since march, so this is the first update since nougat. Vns l31 3GB variant

  • in 2017 which will be better p9 lite or p8 lite.plz answer me

  • Which is better P8 lite 2017, P9 lite or P10 lite?

  • Are you kidding me???? 2.5 days?????? Mine goes nearly nearly 2 days. But on heavy usage with always WiFi connected it goes only for 1.5 days. And sorry for my broken English :P

  • after i buy this phone. wow. it was great, i think it can compete to other brand phone. the battery it takes 2.5 days without heavy usage. and it can take stretch up to 3.2 days.

  • The P9 lite has a better battery life, i can use it for two days when i dont do heavy you tubing and social media, when am on you tube and social media for a long time, it takes about a day to drain the batter from 100 to about 20%. I would say that is awesome for a midrange smart phone. On the camera side, P9 lite has vivid colors, better than samsung J7 but on the down side, the images are overprocessed. Also in dark places the quality is not as good as samsung J7. But is still would choose P9lite over J7 due to the battery life, build quality and it looks awesome

  • VNS-L31

  • In Indonesia, the official one is the 3 gb because the 3gb is manufactured in Indonesia, no 2gb is sold (as i know). I think it depends of the country. And i recognize that after N, charging duration is faster 20 minutes than M. Although yeahh the battery just stand 1 day for intensive youtube and chats. Fyu. Good news is, i use my alcatel one touch flash plus headset on this phone, hell yeah, the sound is so amazing, as using hundreds usd headset (although i have never bought hundreds usd headset haha, but it feels so great).

  • Awesome Bro. How did you get it? Coz in my country 2GB RAM variant is officially released. Not the 3GB

  • Mine is 3gb L31 version.

  • Which variant do you have?? 2GB ram variant OR 3GB ram variant???

  • Anyone with version L21C432 got update? Still waiting here

  • I recently put an sd card in my p9 lite, it saves photos and music but not apps buts thats fine by me, battery is good but does drain with heavy gaming etc

  • Better you ask hicare from your phone app since i asked them first, then 1 week later, i got the nougat update. it is damn smoother than M. Battery usage is as normal as M. I dont know about whether reset is important, but according to opinion here, factory reset after update, i did it. signal is fine. back camera is better, but front camera is darker which for me is fine because i am not camera fans. Ram usage is more efficient, idle phone on M, 1.6gb remains. but use N, idle phone 2.1gb remains. This phone is great.

  • I am using huawei p9 lite for some months and I like the product but sometimes the wifi will refuse to connect, even when connected will say no internet. Why is this so and there anything I can do to stop it from happening again?

  • Hi I want to know how good is battery? I mean how long it usually lasts and how fast it charges... And is it better huawei p9 Lite or Samsung J7 ? Which one has better camera and battery?

  • Battery draining fast

  • I got update for nougat this mmorning officially. Region: Indonesia

  • Still doesnt received nougat for my p9 lite, i am interested when i will get official update...? Huawei are so slowly for releasing region updates...

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina

  • Nope

  • Croatia. It's really weird because others in neighbour countries got it like few weeks ago...dunno

  • is it support On-The-Go USB

  • From where you are?

  • Still haven't got the update...what's wrong??

  • I want to buy this 3gb but I cant find it any where so I think I will buy the 2gb one

  • p9

  • P9 lite or galaxy j7 2016 please. Witch is better p9 or j7 2016

  • I use the 2gb model and after the android 7 upgrade, RAM managment is too aggressive. It keeps killing apps from memory. There is always at least 500mb free RAM , but you switch between just 2 apps and it has to refresh. Very pathetic. In android 6, some apps could be excluded from memory clearing , but i don't see that option now. Any help please???

  • Hi :) Can you take a photo or video while your battery is low ( e.g. 7%) pls tell me

  • Hi, which variant do u have and what about battery?

  • P10 or p10 plus

  • After the noughet update things are looking gr8 and smooth and much nicer. Love the phone. Only missing the otg support..

  • which better Huawei P9 lite or Huawei Nove plus Thenks

  • If you are looking for a low budget updated phone go for P10 lite otherwise P10 is a great phone

  • I also got the same problem with Battery draining issue. Just reset the mobile after Update and the issue will be resolved.

  • This phone damn good, but after I update to nougat, I think the consumption of battery is faster than before, isn't anyone face this problem or this just my illusion ,haha

  • Yes, but if you have no 'Dual SIM Management' in the Settings, means your phone is single sim variant.

  • I have updated my ph and I lose my ph browser plz Sam bday help me

  • open huawei p9 lite review GSM Arena ; Main disadvantages Non-removable battery; no fast charging either Only 16GB storage (half of it reserved); you lose SIM2 if you use a microSD card No scratch-resistant glass

  • Hey guys. I want to upgrade to a new phone from P9 lite. Which phone should I buy????? Please guide me

  • Then you have single sim card phone. If you had this feature 'sim management' previously, that means you probably have installed wrong update. It's nothing unusual. Every second phone is single sim, including mine.

  • you lose SIM2 if you use a microSD card

  • I got Nougat Right now and Emui 5 But please i can't use 2'sims in my phone I ve huawei p9 lite VNS -L31 In Settings i cant find sim cards option ? Why and how can i know if my phone is dual sim or not ??? Please reply

  • p9 lite vns l21 2gb ram

  • ali which model u have in p9lite

  • I have the same variant that of you. I bought it 7 months ago. Working fine no problems occurred and I have also updated to nougat. I advice you to reset your mobile.

  • Got Nougat OTA this morning,everything is good.

  • My p9 lite got update 7.0

  • i have the 2gb model for like 8 months and recently have started lagging pretty much...is there anyone having the same problem? or is there someone who has the same model and has no similar problems..? and what do you advice me to do? (i not doing heavy use of the phone)

  • Hello guys Is it a good way to upgrade my Huawei to nougat with firmware finder and which is the right size of nougat for VNS-L31C113B150?? Thanks

  • when will my p9 lite get the update Is it according to the VNS_ ........

  • thanks, finally I have upgraded to nougat with the tool, I have vns-l31c02 and I have applied with vns-l31c02b329 which released on 2017.05.03 2.190gb FullOTA-MF-PV

  • You can't remove the battery. EMUI doesn't allow you to use SD Card as an internal storage. The battery is very good and despite everything, you should avoid J7 would be my suggestion. Every phone has pro and cons. If you want a perfect one, you will have to pay around $1000.

  • the difference is minimal but the look of the phone is the lead samsung

  • Guys, should I buy this phone? I'm not sure between huawei p9 lite and samsung j7 (2016). What would you suggest? Pls tell me if you can remove battery and if you can choose if main storage would be SD card or internal memory ( cause my brothers mobile can't do that i mean you can transfers apps from internal to sd card but i want my phone to directy put apps on sd card when I install it and that it saves pictures on SD card too) and tell me if battery is good or not and myb some other things you think would be usefull tnx :) ( also if you know something about samsung j7)

  • Im still waiting for an updated too

  • Which one is better between P9 lite and honor 6X please? Thanks in advance for ur suggestion..

  • nah, still waiting in lithuania

  • whats your region?

  • Is it worth it if I trade my huawri p9 lite to 16gb iphone 5s?

  • There is no kind of twitching in recording videos. My P9 lite's camera is working fine. Nothing of the kind happened.

  • Simply install the firmware finder app and from there refresh the menu to get the official OTA supported update. I advise you to watch a video on YouTube about updating P9 lite through firmware finder app coz it's a little difficult to update i also watched the video then updated easily. Hope this will help you.

  • How can u guide me

  • Tell me people I read that this phone videos is twitching.For example.When some records cars on highway where cars pass by videos is twitching.What are your experiences?

  • I am living in Pakistan and I also have the same variant that of you. I updated my mobile from firmware finder and got Nougat 7.0 running smoothly.

  • Does anyone from Baltic states (Latvia) have got the ota update to nougat for l21c432b160?

  • tominizz, i have that model and i got the upgrade last week.

  • Hi deadworm12, i upgraded my p9 lite on nougat last week. Depends of your country when you get the upgrade.

  • i dont know but i emailed them and they said that it will have nougat

  • When

  • it will get nougat be patience

  • yes be patience

  • will vns-l21c432 get nougat update ?

  • Did u got update 7.0 bcz I have the same build no. But didn't got update

  • U got update

  • My p9 lite VNS L21C432B160 didn't got nougat update any one know having same issue with same build no. ?Anyone know when the update is coming for this build no.?

  • I literally have the same issue! Even in marshmallow. Screen on time seems pretty good on this device (5-6 hours sot with variation of brightness) but the standbye time is quite ridiculous. Leave my phone 50% without wifi and everythibg about 8 hours, and the battery dropped to about 42-44%. Never experienced it in my past phones. Is that a battery fault or software bug? I have p9 lite vns l31

  • Is there OTG Support in 7.0 Nougat?

  • Does it have heating problems and how much does the battery last?

  • Seems the 16gb means nothing since the apps can't be moved to SD card. Biggest fail of the phone

  • Oh that is pretty good since i can somehow have a good use of 2GB of space on my Xperia V

  • People, take it easy. Everyone will receive update for Nougat. if you don't know what you doing, better stop and don't try on your hand. You can brick your phone. Obviously there is a reason why you don't get the right size for your firmware. Read all the comments, search on the internet, forums, in case you're impatient. My suggestion would be if you're unsure, wait.

  • Even if i chose 2gb +. When i download the update its only 1.24 gb..... And when its finish downloading its like error( sory for my bad english)

  • my p9 lite can download music

  • 10.5 GB out of box

  • In my opinion according to Body Shape P9 lite is Sexier than the 6X. In majority people are going for P9 lite rather than the 6X.

  • 6X or P9Lite... which one is the best for buy...

  • My problem is , my P9 lite can download anything but not music.

  • How much of free space do you get?

  • If it's A5 [2017], then A5. The regular A5 or 2016 is not worth the money. In that case better go with Huawei P9 Lite, unless you are boring of EMUI, cause you already owe one Huawei :P

  • Why is A5 better than Huawei P9 lite. Would be good little details to add when you going to compare phones.

  • A5>p9 lite>A3>j5 prime

  • Hi everyone just need some serious advice please. not sure which phone to look at, the choices are Samsung J5 prime Huawei p9 lite Samsung Galaxy A3 Samsung Galaxy A5 I use to have a Huawei P8 lite. Thank you in advance.

  • Hey Guys ;) My Build Number was VNS-L21C432B160. As per Misko195's advice, I upgraded to L21-C432B370 and did a factory reset. Everythings seems to be working just fine and fast. But, I think I notice a change in the camera. Increased white balance in the surroundings when I focus on something darker. Too much washed in white. The previous version was better, I think. Has anyone noticed something similar? Thanks, again, in advance, you've helped me alot here.

  • This phone performance is to good. I thing its better then Gr5(17)

  • Close your apps to not refresh in background. Go to Phone Manager and close all apps, then see how will behave your battery. If that resolves the problem, later you will select the important apps which should be refreshed in background.

  • Please note that factory resetting the phone DOES NOT fix the battery draining issue for (L31 - B371 - 3gb ram). I've reset the phone using both methods (hard/soft) and the battery still drains like crazy on standby. Last night, with all apps/wifi/data/bt closed, the battery dropped 7% in 6 hours of standby, which is crazy! For me the battery performance went down by 50% on Nougat, vs Marshmallow...

  • I still hadn't received it as of today. So I pushed the L21C432B370 firmware to the updater using Firmware Finder. Just ensure your select the Full OTA- MF- PV. It should be 1.943 GB in size. If you install any package smaller than this you'll encounter issues such as apps missing and bluetooth or camera not working​ so proceed with caution. I've done the update and I must say, the phone is way snappier than before, battery life has improved and I'm getting over 1GB free ram not to mention many new features

  • In his case version is B380. People if you are unsure or you don't know, please don't provide info with what user can make problems on his phone. B160 = B370 -> dual sim B161 = B371 -> single sim Easy as that.

  • So i will receive official update? With system/update or no?

  • You can go to nougat with firmware finder. Just make sure you download A b371version . It is aproxx 1.94gb.

  • my huawei p9 lite build number is VNS-L21C432B160 and im still waiting for nougat update. Does anybody received nougat for this version?

  • I have buyed p9 lite with 3gb RAM 1month ago, for 180€ (Easter sale 40%) and i'm more then satistifed with this phone, really great perforamnce, battery, everything....my brother have buyed sony xperia X 3months ago and now want to change with me or buy new p9 lite and sale xperia X :D I recommend this phone to everyone!!

  • Further to my previous post, the model is VNS-L31, the SIM is in slot 1, and Enable 4G is switched on in Wireless and Networks.

  • Using P9 Lite in Australia. Telstra G4 SIM. Working beautifully, until Telstra switched off their G2 network After that, could not make or receive phone calls, although SMS was OK. Can anyone please help?

  • The right method to reset is: 1. Turn your phone off. 2. Hold Power + Volume up 3. When you see the Huawei logo, release the buttons, wait a bit and then select 'Wipe data/Factory reset'. Once it reaches 100%, select 'boot the system' and you should be fine.

  • 4 hours of Charging???? Is this happening after Update..?????? Tell me in detail please First tell me about this problem then I'll give you a solution for it.

  • Hello. The build number on my P9 Lite is VSN-L21C432B161 and i still haven't got an update. Does it have update for this build number?

  • I'm enjoying this phone, perfect!!!!!

  • Does it supports USB OTG after update ?

  • A thousand thanks misko195. I will try it and report the result.

  • You should go with L21-C432B370 and ONLY with the file with size 1.94gb. The version B380 has bugs. Also: single sim = 371 dual sim = 370 While here, I see people does factory reset from the OS. The right method is: 1. Turn your phone off. 2. Hold Power + Volume up 3. When you see the Huawei logo, release the buttons, wait a bit and then select 'Wipe data/Factory reset'. Once it reaches 100%, select 'boot the system' and you should be fine.

  • how can i move applications to sd card please ?

  • thanks mate!

  • Hey People ;)..P9 lite Dual Sim. My Build Number isVNS-L21C432B160. Which update file should I download? I tried with B381 but it failed. Please, if you know tell me the exaxt file I need. Location is Greece. Thanks in advance.

  • Thanks for reply mate,but I am still confused to install it or not. can you please tell me do you getting the same battery backup like on marshmallow? Because charging time of this phone is really insane almost 4 hours so if their is some battery issue then its almost impossible to use it as daily driver.

  • How to do factory reset

  • Its very easy. Go to settings>Advance Settings>Backup And Reset>Factory Data Reset and reset your mobile. Note: backup your important contacts and media files to a Memory card before resetting.

  • How did you reset?

  • Thx for this information i hope so soon i guess

  • Morroco got it 15 days ago,so I bet it's on its way to TN,some patience that's all.

  • Morroco got it 15 days ago,so I bet it's on its way to TN,some patience that's all.

  • I had updated a month ago. Since then I had a great issue with Battery draining so fast. Then I called the Huawei care center. They told me that it is very important to factory reset your mobile after upgrading nougat because after upgrading some bugs are left behind. So to clean your mobile with old bugs you should reset your mobile. I had this issue for a month. But now after resetting my mobile the battery is working nice.

  • Yes you should. If you have updated and having issues. Must reset your mobile.

  • Anybody updated Nougat in VNS L31 version?? Whats the condition of the phone??

  • can any one tell me when and how i can get the nougat's update . i'm from Tunisia and thinks for any reply

  • How?

  • I did a factory reset just after the update and still the battery drains like crazy. I'm hoping it's something related to the machine learning EMUI 5 has and that it will go away with time, as the phone finishes optimizing itself to my usage...

  • Hello , is that mean i've to go to reset factory settings

  • I had updated a month ago. Since then I had a great issue with Battery draining so fast. Then I called the Huawei care center.

  • How you resloved it...please share with us to. I also got nouget today but I am waiting for reviews after update then Il decide to update or not.

  • Add permission in camera app and first time when you going to take pic with watermark allow 'connect to mobile data'.

  • Mind sharing how you did that?

  • Anyone having problems with watermark in camera? Mine can't show temperature, wind conditions.

  • Yahooooo. I finally resolved my Battery draining issue that occurred after updating to naugat. Now the battery performance is same as that of marshmallow.

  • Should i buy this phone now, its 2gb version and i read your all comments about it but no one said you should buy it.. Suggest me pls..

  • Hi, what model ?

  • Ok, my Nougat (L31) battery test has now concluded and the results are: ~23.5 hours performance with one charge, this breaking down into: ~11.5 hours of standby and ~12 hours of moderate usage (2-3 short calls, web browsing, facebook, youtube - screen brightness set to 50%). - The biggest battery drainers were Android OS and Standby time. On Marshmallow I was getting around 36 hours with one charge, under the same conditions. - The results clearly show poor Android optimisation for this device, as Nougat should bring some improvements regarding battery life (Doze). So we've waited 3 months for something that's broken (no wonder people buy iPhones and stuff)... Conclusion: - If you want a new interface with slightly improved performance, better security, Vulkan API and maybe future updates, and don't mind sacrificing battery performance, then go ahead and update to Nougat. - If you value battery performance more than anything else, then stay on Marshmallow. Cheers!

  • i also have the same l22,i've updated to nougat

  • I got nougat a week ago, i'm sure it will come for you guys soon, btw it works amazing on my p9 lite and ut made my phone faster. 😉

  • I got android 7.0 update a week ago, it's not beta i got the final one. I'm sure all of you will get it soon. Btw it works great and it made my p9 lite faster. 😉

  • How about waterproofing for this phone?

  • Let's call this section : "Nougat Waiting and Crying" section coz that's how it sounds like...summoning the devil is easier than getting nougat.

  • Still waiting for nougat. My phone still don't receiving it ://

  • 29.04.2017 update avaible to Android 7.0. Good work Huawei.

  • I can confirm the battery issue after the update to Nougat, on L31 (3gb ram - Romania). Did the update yesterday (1.99 gb in size) and immediatly after, I did a factory reset, so the phone is clean. In 9.5 hours of standby (closed all backgroud apps, wifi/data off) the battery dropped 14%. This is unacceptable, as on Marshmallow I was getting ~2% drop in the same coditions. I'll try to contact Huawei about this...

  • Hey all, phone is awsome woth 6.0 android but with 7.0 is rly best!!!

  • Does it supports USB OTG after update?

  • Does this phone have vulkan api when updated to nougat

  • No way you can do a rollback to marshmallow with a simple fact reset. I also read it at a couple forums but nobody is helped with that trick. I did it and that nougat is right back.

  • Here you can find all the info and downloads you need. Just be sure what download you take (L11 of L21 or L31, you can find that info in the register of your phone) If you do exactly as explained on the link above you will have your original P9lite back. Oh yeah, turn off the automatic download in your phone or the next day you can start all over again because the damn emui5 is back ... :-(

  • try reset your phone and its should be fixed, for me this method worked

  • factory reset .. but take care of ur data before reseting save on memory card all media and contacts app backups on google account

  • Hi benben, I would like to ask, did you do a factory reset after you updated to Nougat?

  • agree on the battery draining issue after update to nougat. It is not significant, but it is there taking off that extra 5-6%. If you are still on marshmallow, leave it as it is. The picture blur when you call someone is the new UI although it is almost useless. Also you cannot install 3 party locking apps as they won't work with the fingerprint scanner as it will ask you to enter the password instead straight going to the home screen. Otherwise everything else is smooth nice. I hope the fix the minor issue which I highly doubt since the P10 lite is out.

  • Please can you tell me how you rolled back to the previous version???? I am also having battery issue.....

  • Hi, i have a P9 lite (L22C636B150, Dual Sim, 2GB) and im still waiting for the Nougat-Update. Does anyone have it already? Or can i update it by myself?Thanks

  • I've updated it normally with system->update.

  • Last month i updated to emui5 and did a rollback tot previous version last week. Before the update i could do 2 days with the battery, after the update she was almost empty after 1 day. When i called a person the picture was very blured, i tried everything to fix it. Searched at forums for help, foud a lot of helpfull tips but nothing worked.Factory reset also . I have done a rollback and i have my original phone back that i loved.

  • How is the camera of P9 lite compared to GR5 2017 (honor 6x) ?

  • Neither I received. This is so unprofessional from Huawei. The phone is fine, but their support and maintenance sucks. Never again this brend! Android O will come, they still have no covered all phones with 7 [Nougat]. Shame!

  • Hello everyone I haven't received yet the update for nougat VNS-L31C113B150,even after the delay, what on earth is happening with Huawei man?!!!I'm so frustrated and sad,really :( :( :(

  • Why i dont receiving nougat for my huawei?

  • it will receive soon,wait

  • Hey Everyone, I'm enjoying Android version 7.0

  • Hey Everyone, I'm enjoying Android version 7.0

  • My huawei p9 lite doesnt received nougat 7

  • I dont have received nougat 7 for my p9 lite :(

  • I think only 2g.

  • sim 2 support 4g ?

  • i want p9 lite in warranty

  • I am having lots of trouble of battery after updating to naugat. The standby time got so worst. If it is 100% on 12AM then at 6AM it will be on 70%. ????????? 30% battery drained in just 6 hours on standby????? Please anyone help me. What to do now???? I also have warranty.

  • I am having lots of trouble of battery after updating to naugat. The standby time got so worst. If it is 100% on 12AM then at 6AM it will be on 70%. ????????? 30% battery drained in just 6 hours on standby?????

  • Experiencing that as well, though not that much. Mine drains 5-10% in standby time about 8 hours even with or without wifi connection. Kinda annoying though

  • I have p9 lite about 4 months and already updated it in nougat. But I noticed that there ate some flaws in my device. First, the display is not laminated correctly. Though it may be a small issue, but it is very noticable when viewing angles (the issue is in the right side of the display) there's a bright white at the edge of the display. Second, the battery life. I noticed it 6 days after I purchased the device. I just ignored that because it might be a software issue. But no, I hard reset my phone and updated it, nothing happened. At first let's say my battery is 90%, and it'll stay 90% for a long time but after I locked my screen for a bout 5 mins. The battery will decrease at 87-86%. Also it will stay long for example, it will saty at 67% (about 10 mins) after dropping to 66%, it will only take a minute (or less) to drop to 65% then repeat the 3 cycle. Is that a battery default or software problem. BTW, I optimize all the apps that eating my battery and disabled them. Other than that, I have no complains about this phone. The ram and performance is great. Hop you notice my response. Ty

  • I updated my huawei p9 lite on 7.0 today amazing works

  • Anybody with location problem when on mobile data? Installed Nougat yesterday and location issue has appeared since then. When I am on mobile data, location service does not recognize location and weather app does not refresh. Everything works great when on wireless. Thanks in advance!

  • Wow 7.0 update for p9 lite huawei is available now in pakistan good team

  • My phone huawei p9 lite has Not Update to nouget y?

  • hey, do u guys know how to increase the vibration intensity? or any apps that recommended to increase it? (no root apply thanks)

  • Factory reset!

  • Battery life is a disaster after update. Especially stand by time is 50% worse.

  • This is official answer from huawei support for United Kingdom about Nougat update 22.04.2017 The update release for P9 Lite devices has already started, but it is being released in batches. Therefore, we kindly ask you to wait a bit more. In the meantime, check the HiCare app from time to time. You can also clear the cache for it in Settings > Apps > HiCare > Clear cache, then restart the device and try again. As mentioned before, make sure you have Auto-check for updates and Auto-Download via Wi-Fi options enabled, in Settings > Update > Menu > Update settings.

  • I will compare it, and thank you so much.

  • Good to update on 7.0 from day one marshmallow have lots and lots of bug's like Homescreen brightness is low compared to apps no apps running background when u clear all lags on apps poor battery performance i wonder why Huawei launched p9 lite if they don't have stable OS

  • Did you pick wrong size package, 1.2gb? If you were going through ff, then you must be sure the size is 1.94gb or some system applications will be missing out of your OS.

  • Don't update to 7.0 if you: need bluetooth, want to change ringtone, want default calculator and clock/alarm app. But battery lasts longer and it works better which is nice...

  • Nougat for C432 rolling out these days. Be patient.

  • what is ur mobile model nmber ? I have also p9lite but I cant recived any update of 7.0

  • hello friends I am from pakistan I am using p9 lite 2gb ram version my fone model nmber vns-L21c432B160 I cant recived 7.0 update any help for update thank u

  • I got Nougat update for L21 version. It is awesome. Improved in every way. Faster and nicer than Marshmallow. I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Best regards. Thanks Huawei.

  • Emui 5 came in Serbia, for p9 lite 2gb version. Guys this OS i so beautiful, fast and overall awesome (for me the new recent app change os the best, beside the notification).

  • Nothing of the kind is important like to reset the mobile after updating. I also live in Pakistan and i have the same variant as of you. I have updated my phone there's no such problem. But you should uninstall every excessive app like FB twitter or anything​ which you have downloaded yourself before update Bcoz some people had problems using apps after update. That's why after update reinstall them. Hope you got the right thing from me.

  • Can you tell us where you from and when precisely you got update?

  • Guys I received nogut update today.. its a good os n m happy

  • P8 lite 2017 only because it has built in Nougat and EMUI 5. All other is almost same, maybe even P8 2017 Lite has slightly better performances. Unless, your carrier supports LTE Cat 6, which would give you higher speed with P9 Lite. Anyway, read reviews, watch YouTube and compare these phones would give you your answer better than me. Hope this helps you.

  • I'm confused between p8 lite 2017 and p9 lite, which one is better ? I wanna buy this phone? Is everything okay with it? Are there any bugs? Thanks in advance.

  • Its not fake some p9 lite versions dont have eye comfort mode for some reason but it will release on all when nougat comes

  • Also get update today on Version 7.0

  • As far as I know 'Eye comfort' option is available in EMUI 5. Do you both have EMUI 5? I'm still in EMUI 4.1.1 and I have no this option. Also, do you both have same model? How to check if it's fake. First thing which comes to my mind is going to take password for unlocking bootloader. You don't need to unlock boatloader, but fill the fields where Huawei asks for your phone ID, product ID, IMEI etc. If it gives you password, then the phone should be all fine. Or simple call Huawei.

  • Me and my husband both using P9 lite..less than 1 month. Only today i've found out that my husband's phone dont have the eye comfort function..and hopefully there is nothing more.. How to check either both of our p9s is not fake.. Tq

  • Dude, your phone have malfunction. Nothing of what you said should happen. I hope you have a warranty. Go and change for another. In sake of truth, read all opinions of the customers.

  • I bought it about one month ago .. believe me it is the worst phone ever . It keeps on freezing and the screen goes white every 3 to 5 minutes of use. I shall regret all my life for buying this Huawei p9 lite !

  • Im from asia PAKISTAN and i've got the update on my p9lite (2GB version). What should i do? I mean, i've seen different opinions like "hey u should reset before u got the update and then start the update" or something like this. So i was wondering if anyone know.

  • Its plastic

  • Well, i bought P9 Lite for like 5 people in last 7-8 months and there are no complains so far. Even i got one just few minutes ago after my Nexus 5 died and Pixel is kinda tooo high priced for now :) So yea - go ahead its really good device quality / money

  • okay, thank u so much :)

  • I wanna buy this phone? Is everything okay with it? Are there any bugs?

  • Thank you for your reply. I'm in Sri Lanka. Please let me know when we can get the Nougat upgrade to P9 Lite. Further please tell me which camera is the best between Honor 6X & P9 Lite

  • hello guys which phone has better camera and better in general galaxy j7 prime or huawei p9 lite ?

  • Hello, Have you tried to reformat your SD Card? It's very common SD Card to be corrupted, but it's not a big deal. One format can fix the problem. Go on Google and search about it. Note: Do not try to copy data or system app to the card. EMUI doesn't support 'Adaptable Storage', so you can't make your SD Card to work as an internal.

  • thank u~but i only can transfer the file into my internal storage,if i drag the file to my SD card it keep fail~

  • what country are u in ? and whats ur model number ?

  • Factory reset is recommended when you upgrade to the new OS. Of course, it's not mandatory, but for good of you OS and the phone, you should do this. About your applications, contacts, messages etc.., all this can be backed up through HiSuite or other third part app. Serbia receiving Nougat OTA for L21 C432B370/371, just saying.

  • Connect your phone with the PC. Once the PC recognize your phone as a new device, go to your phone and pull down the status bar, then select 'transfer files'. Otherwise, the phone would only charge. Other solution is using HiSuite.

  • Hi there. From Romania

  • I can't transfer files from PC to my p9 lite via USB! anyone can help me?

  • I wouldn't prefer factory reset it's like starting all over again. It will take more time to bring back my own customized settings. Lesson learned no more updates again.

  • can i ask you a bout this phone is it plastic or steel

  • Where are you from? I hope they will start updating in my country soon

  • Just received the update from l21c432 b160 to b370 android nougat. Works very good. And it seems now i have more ram free approx 400 mb more. Excellent job huawei

  • Have you done factory reset? It's good to be done after a big update.

  • I just loved my phone been everything in it especially the fingerprint sensor however after the Nougat upgrade I am so disappointed the sensor is now useless, it does not work anymore! I have tried changing the settings but still the same it always asks for PIN/PW after using the sensor. Now, I have to do research for this failure of Huawei...such a big disappointment!

  • Not Yet

  • Half regions/phones are already upgraded. Other half should receive soon.

  • Please anyone let me know Huawei P9 Lite can upgrade to Nougat

  • I play asphalt xtreme on this device (P9 lite) and changed it into high graphics settings, no lags or whatsoever at all.

  • My phone all system suddenly changed something​ before better something now

  • If you have a naugat variant simply go in phone manager there is a sign of data arrows up and down click it and in it there is an option in the last of menu DATA SAVER simply turn ON it and block all the background data of all the apps even the pre installed and core apps will be shut off for background data.

  • HI! I have the p9 lite 3Gb varint and my device's running nougat since 1St week of March. Everything is fine (except the slight battery drain) but the good thing is that the ram management is really improved! My free memory is 2.09GB/3gb. Cool!. By the way, how to sort the apps in the app drawer? It is only alphabetical and can't hide apps. Any solution how to sort apps in nougat? TY

  • Are their any chances for OTG Support in Anroid 7.0 Nougat in P9 Lite?

  • How do I block background data usage for all apps.Plz provide step by step.Otherwise the phone is kicking left and right.

  • This phone is top notch in everything (coming from GS5) been using it for 6 months and I'm very satisfied the only weak point is the camera video quality even in full hd videos come grainy and soft. My question is for those with android Nougat,did you notice any improvements with video quality after update? Looking for your answers thx.

  • How do I block background data usage for all apps.Plz provide step by step.Otherwise the phone is kicking left and right.

  • Would you be good and tell us where this option is? This is P9 Lite and as I know and am sure, font can be changed only with third part app.

  • There are option for change the font in p9 as it have many fonts in built-in

  • Can you use video call on that phone

  • This phone is top notch in everything (coming from GS5) been using it for 6 months and I'm very satisfied the only weak point is the camera video quality even in full hd videos come grainy and soft.

  • nope , you can connect just external intercooler for a turbocharger

  • Dude try play asphalt 8 on this fon (high set.) You will notice. It

  • If you have so many questions, maybe you need to google mate.

  • It depends. As example if you get a message it's green light, if you miss a call is red etc. The colours can vary and you can also install application and set the colours how you want.

  • does p9 lite support external mouse connection

  • can the notification light be changed

  • As far as I know, it's a third part program which change the font style. So yes, if you install Font Installer. Google for more info.

  • No, does not support.

  • can the font style be changed

  • does p9 lite support OTG

  • Nougat come and get meeeeee!

  • I don't thibk it's possible tome the already apps installed. You could try to set the SD card as default storage in settings and then try to freshly install your apps. Ideally is to have your apps installed on your internal memory and rest of the data music...videos etc to put it on sd card. I say ideally due to performance reasons.

  • I'd like to know how to move applications from Internal memory to SD card !

  • Does anyone know if the update to nougat fixes the bug with laggy notifications? In Marshmallow i still have to open whatsapp for instance to get new messages.

  • Hey mate. Did you get official OTA update for Nougat? And where you have from? Thanks.

  • You bought Huawei P9 Lite without to read some reviews, thoughts and users feedack who already have this phone? Yes, you can make 'Internal Storage' SD Card in EMUI. Yes, you have no draw on MM, it has on N though. You can use Nova Launcher tho. Camera actually is not that good. I highly doubt you have this phone at all. You just want to put bad comment, that's all. Go and return your phone and buy better one for the money you spent.

  • Nu answear to french unhappy client: I'm using p9 lite for 4 monts and is a very good phone. Has no lag, and very fast responding. If yours is slow it is probably Something wrong with that particular one and You should get it to service. O, by the way, You can haide icons crom your homescreen, but If You don't read the user manual You wont know, do You?

  • Then something is wrong with your phone, return back and take a new one. This phone is fast and doesn't lag at all.

  • I just got this phone and sorry for my French but it's a piece of shit. First of all the system is extremely slow going from lagging to freezing. Second I can't put any apps on my SD card so my phone memory is full and practically the only thing I can use my SD card for are photos/ videos and audio. Thirdly there is no all apps folder so every single app has to be put on your home page with cause it to be clogged. You also cannot make duplicates. The good thing about this phone is the camera with good quality and a great selection of settings and customizations.

  • "The final Firmware, (if it's released) will have the same designated L21C432B371 as the Betas released in March." How do you know about this info and are you 100% sure? Couldn't be there B381, as final?

  • no

  • Not connecting to wifi

  • P9 lite or nova plus ,,,,,,

  • Maybe these screenshots will ge a little smile on your face ;)

  • I had this information from a service provider of Mobile phones. They are getting a lot of complaints right now by customers who are really frustrated by Huawei's lack of communication. You are correct that the mobiles have the same basic hardware, but it's not the same Firmware and Huawei's main problem is with the reduced RAM (2GB against 3GB of the Dual SIM model) which has been affecting performance. The final Firmware, (if it's released) will have the same designated L21C432B371 as the Betas released in March. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it happens as my P9 Lite is only a few months old!

  • do huawei p10 lite have 2.5 D curved glass?

  • With this I think you disappointed many users. My thought is that it's quite normal first to go models L31, then after week or two, maybe longer L21. Same how P9 were before P9 lite. Also, models with single sim and double sim have exactly same hardware and I see no reason why L21 single sim would be excluded. But we never know. I read that people with L21 2gb already updated, not sure if they had single sim or double, but weren't europeans. So let's wait little more before we start with speculations.

  • I bought this phone about 4 months... speed of the is excellent...no lag...nice design...display is excellent...speaker and sound source is very good...selfie camera is excellent...rear camera is just good.

  • be sure there is no difference between all version of huawei p9 lite...please wait until recieve your update...at last it shall take 1 month...my friend!

  • Where did you read that L21 single sim will not get Nougat? Isn't there already Beta for this model? Someone else to confirm does have upgraded L21 with single sim to nougat?

  • i am gonna buy this phone please let me know whether this phone good or bad?

  • Got my N7 update today. VNS-L31 from Malaysia

  • This is really frustrating. Nothing has been received here for most P9 Lite models in Austria. I called Huawei yesterday and they told me that the OTA release may take weeks. The other news I heard from another source was that the Single SIM 2Gb model might not be updated at all! It's identified by the VNS code L21C432B161. I'm not going to wait too long before I trash the P9 Lite and go for something with a better projected lifetime. It seems that the P9 Lite Single SIM version was manufactured specially for the big providers and Huawei didn't bother with updates as such. With my P9 Lite there has been NO security update since last November which is frankly a disgrace!

  • Yep ,,.. the updater notified me,,,but the problem i have is that the nougat beta or a bug fixed version ??...

  • I updated my p9lite the day before yesterday wit emui 5 and it all looks ok, i have however 1 major problem. Before the great update, when i made a call to somebody i could see the picture nice and round on my screen but since the update all i see is a blurred full screen photo. I tried everything, delete the contact and create again, deleted the picture and choose an new one, making a printscreen from the photo and than choose the prinscreen in stead of the original picture, .... NOTHING works . And i want that to work again. Anybody with the same problem?

  • Huawei cell phone are good feature wise. The most I like is honor 8 recently lodge but SAR value are too high among all Huawei phones. Company should focus to reduce SAR value so that consumer purchase without hesitation.

  • After every big update it is good if you do a hard reset (factory reset) of your phone. It the problem remains go to battery option in setting and check is there a drain by any app ?

  • anyone having trouble with their GPS (location information) after the nougat update? Previously i have no issue with my GPS during my marshmallow version == pls help

  • Got nougat today in Sri Lanka

  • Then don't do it, bro. It would be bad idea if you leave your phone to discharge to 0% often, but once in a while shouldn't be problem.

  • Dude 100% charge to 0% discharge is a bad idea. You'll basically killing your phone. This phone has a litheon battery not a copper one.

  • Recharge your phone to 100%, then leave to discharge and turn off itself. Then turn the phone again w/o charging and leave until it turns off again. Then recharge to 100% w/o turning the phone on and see how will work. This should be done by everyone once in a few months, how battery would optimizate itself. If doesn't help, try factory reset from recovery mode.

  • I updated my p9 lite to NOUGAT and the battery gets draining without even using it. From fully charge to 89% after overnight of not using (No running apps in background because I optimize it always). I do not play games, I am a very light user. I only use it for social media texting and calling. With marshmallow the battery last for 2 days but now with Nougat it only last for 1 day. I want to rollback to marshmallow. Nougat interface is very nice but I do not want to exchange the good battery life of this phone just because of the new interface of the updated android.

  • Guys, any of you got OTA update for Europe? If so, which country and what model?

  • Hi, personaly I'm from Europe, but not from Italy. I know that Italy got OTA a few days ago and the model was l31, C432 [Europe]. Yes, it is international version.

  • Is Nougat released for Europe? And when to expect?

  • There is a solution for your problem. Switch your phone off and then HOLD volume up and power till you see the Huawei thing. It shoud go to Recovery Mode where you can factory reset your device. After that it should work just fine

  • Okey.. Switch your phone off and then HOLD volume up and power till you see the Huawei thing. It shoud go to Recovery Mode where you can factory reset your device. After that it should work just fine

My phone just didn't respond before it just went black, and the next time I tried, after waiting five minutes the same thing happend, only this time five minutes turned to ten, and then thirty minutts and now one houer.

  • How to upgrade

  • J7 prime is better! The exynos processer is fairly decent with good camera and Samsung is Samsung great! Fanboys here are recommending you the p9 lite which is already outdated if you look at the amount of phones Huawei is launching day by day. If you don't like Samsung looks elsewhere xiaomi is killing it at the midrange segment and Lenovo too.

  • Finally updated my P9 lite to Naugat yahooooooooo. Ram management on its highest peak. Battery works good. It also has many new functions. Now we can get an easy access to core apps. I love the new EMUI 5 👍👍👍&#128­077;👍👍

  • Same i asked huawei for why isnt therr nougat for the b150 modrl and the responded with that there isnt an official date yet

  • Thank you so much brow for your answer it was very helpful👍👌✌&­;#9995;

  • Mine has received the update a week ago. Model no. Vns-L31

  • The reason you haven't received the "Nougat" update yet is that despite the promises from Huawei that the P9 Lite would receive the update during the 1st Quarter, it has now been put back to the 2nd Quarter - if ever!, which is going to anger many users! I'm deeply suspicious that the "P10 Lite" which has gone on sale during the last week, is not selling so well and they're trying to boost sales instead of helping existing users. I really like my P9 Lite, but if Huawei are going to mess me about I'll jump ship to another brand!

  • There is also a newer variant of this model from 2017.

  • I just heard that there is an update on yhe VNS-L21 2 GB ram variants. Is this true?????? And in which countries do the updates are coming??????

  • I want that please

  • Hi! There is an official update to nougat via firmware finder witch you can take it from magazin play...only depend on what is your number model of your p9 lite.

  • Sziasztok.vns-l21c432.Valaki android7 use this model? What is the difference, you double-tap to wake up? Higher increase call? New minutes, the screen image? Worth the wait?

  • Where You live?

  • hi! I had just update my p9 lite to nougat (vns-l31), everything was okay and smooth, but there are some bugs, first, i can't send any files through Shareit (App), it disconnects wifi, which never happen before in mm 6.0. Second, the phone charges quite slow when it hits 89%, takes 3 min to go 90% and so on, never experince it in the previous android version as well. did you encounter these thing? give some tips. thanks :)

  • otg support? is that true? did you try to connect some flash drives or hard drive?

  • Avere You from?

  • pros: battery life is amazing. the phone runs anything you throw at it, but don't expect flagship performance for the lower middle range price. the radios are flagship grade(wifi speed significantly better than iphone 6, tested). midrange cameras and display. cons: mediocre(i would even say bad) earpiece and microphone. the back scratches very easily. no official info on the glass used.

  • Yes you can,I managed to uninstall a bunch of useless preinstalled apps including facebook which was preinstalled.

  • Very glad I bought this phone,decent battery very good performance,was considering buying lg or samsung but glad I chose this one,most of the preinstalled apps can be uninstalled which is nice.

  • I update my device today. I have 3gb ram p9 lite. The update is 1.99 GB emui 5.0 + android 7. The notification shade and homescreen is much better, but the thing that surprised me is that the ram management is much improved. Before my free ram was about 1.7Gb/3gb, but after the update, the free is 2.02Gb though I have some apps that is protected (can't refesh after it is cleared) good update

  • With P9 lite, you get what you want with affordable price. This phone not dissappointing me yet. If you not buy apple or samsung, this is your choice.

  • I'm from Sri Lanka too; but i did't get the update. Did you get the official update??? VNS L31 Right???

  • It's official update... I'm from Sri Lanka.

  • To be very honest, was a big fan of Samsung and never thought of Huawei. But; with P9 lite, my goodness I am in love with this device. What an incredible piece of work. Started to love on first few minutes.

  • Official OTA ? No firmwarefinder etc ??? Where are u from?

  • You can turn this off going onto Advanced settings then link + then WiFi + and turn off. This is meant to be a smarter way to switch cleanly between signal and WiFi

  • I have received the Nougat (EMUI 5.0) update today for my Huawei P9 Lite. It's now more fast and looks great... I really love this phone. Best phone I've ever had. I've being using this mobile for almost 5 months now.

  • Huawei P9 Lite or iPhone 5s please suggest guys I'm so confused

  • Yes. I got today

  • I'm using a Huawei P9 lite for about a week. This is one of the best mid-range smartphone you can buy. No lags, no Stuck! You can play any game in best quality graphic performance and I got the Nougat update today, which is 1.99GB of size. Only issue is not having the OTG support :( Camera is good, sounds are good!

  • just updated to nougat via OTA, but the finger print sensor not functioning well, sometimes can unlock screen ,but sometimes have to key in pin to unlock , any solution guys?

  • Nougat is now available in p9 lite! (though I haven't install it yet). The size is 1.99 GB. Vn l21 3GB ram version

  • Scroll down notificationline and select screenshot.

  • Has anybody got official Nougat update via OTA?

  • restart the phone to stop runing apps that work in background, and it is good to know ; li -ion batteries work better when you are not used to the end 0%,but most to 25 % and then put the battery to charge75-90% , ( why?) lithium-ion batteries have a rated lifetime of somewhere between 500 and 1,500 charge cycles. so if it reach 100% or less then 25% then it lose 1 cycle.(the user runs it down all the way to zero before recharging) can degrade to 70 percent of its original capacity in 300-500 cycles With a DoD of 25 percent, where the user plugs it in as soon as it gets to 75 percent remain, that same battery could be charged up to 2,500 times before it starts to seriously degrade. Charge a little bit whenever you can. Lithium-ion batteries don't respond well to being charged all the way up and then run all the way down. They take much better to little bits of charge here and there. What's far more dangerous to a battery's well-being is heat. Lithium-ion batteries despise heat. Battery consumption depends on the applications you have installed on the phone and working in the background even if you do not use the phone. such as; facebook instagram messenger,etc,and if you delete these apps and use them through the browser , thus saving up to 40% of the battery (day)life , the display put on minimum brightness and wi - fi, 3G, bluetooth, use it when you need

  • Pozzi, I Huawei p9 lite when they're going nougat

  • By far P9 lite!! Two incomparable phones!

  • If u are a multitasker, where you often leave apps like fb, messenger, email,browser apps open.don't go for a 2gb ram. Look for another phone with 3gbi ram

  • No it's not. It's getting heat if you do so much hard works with it. I've being using this device from few months now. Not a single problem.

  • is the fone easily overheating?

  • In March 2017 ,P9 lite is liekly to get Naughat update.

  • Both are good ,two sensors magnetometer & finger print id is miasing in j5 2016 while super AMOLED display is missing in p9 lite however p9 lite has better screen display resolution. Other than this both have almost same quality cam,dual sim,RAM, battery timing and other features.

  • I have been using p9 lite for 6 months,its an awesome phone. Low cost mobile with above average camera & excellent battery time beside other superb features.No issue of lagging,heating etc.

  • HUAWEI P9 Lite will take Android Nougat and EMUI 5 update at the end of March.
