2-minute Review [Positives]	The phone is a stunner - sports a beautiful, premium glass body design - arguably, in this price segment, this is the best-designed phone that money can buy There is no camera bump at the rear of the device which makes the back of this device seamless and comfortable to hold There is also a fingerprint sensor at the back that nicely integrates with the body shell of the phone Good 5.2-inch display - is bright and offers great viewing angles as well Huawei's EMUI is significantly improved from before, and works smoothly - it also has some useful add-ons like floating dock, motion control, and one-handed UI Good, solid performance throughout - has more than enough firepower that you'll need for your daily usage, with no heating issues, or app crashes There is also 4GB RAM on offer and the RAM management on the Honor 8 Lite is better than many of its competitors Decent rear camera - the camera app is easy to use and does offer some great software add-ons like HDR, Document Scan, Panorama, Light Painting, Time-lapse, slow-mo, watermark and Audio Note The front 8-megapixel camera is pretty good too Pretty good battery life - lasts the day even with heavy use Comes with an extended 15 month service warranty, with door pick-up and drop service	Full metal unibody design, and good build quality Rounded sides make it comfortable to hold The fingerprint scanner is generally quick and easy to use Very good display - bright and vivid with decent sunlight legibility - great for watching videos and games Samsung's UI over Android 6.0 is neat and simple while adding a number of additional features like one-handed operation mode, smart alert makes the phone vibrate when you pick it up to notify you about missed calls and messages, easy mute, S bike mode, Ultra data saving mode, and locking/privacy options Decent all-round performance - handles almost everything you throw at it - including games, and multi-tasking Decent rear and front cameras under daylight conditions - most of the shots taken by the smartphone have decent colours and are crisp - and the handset is able to lock focus quickly Video recording quality is decent too and audio is also crisp Decent loudspeaker output Good call quality Good audio quality Decent battery life - lasts a day with moderate use
2-minute Review [Negatives]	Comes with a standard micro USB for charging and data transfer, instead of the more modern USB-C protocol on some of it's competitors Doesn't support fast charging, which is again present on some of its competitors	The fingerprint scanner works well mostly, but can be iffy at times Tends to crash/heat-up occasionally when put under stress Low light camera performance could have been better Lacks support for quick charging (which is present in some of its competitors) Lacks ambient light sensor, gyroscope and magnetic sensor
