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

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

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

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

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

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