Huawei P8 Lite 2017 vs P Smart

[Dave]

Honor 9 lite. Cheaper then the P Smart and no stupid notch.

P Smart doesn’t have a notch, you thinking of P20 Lite?

hi all, i dont want to create a new thread

p smart or p20 lite

i see the only difference is the camera ..p20 lite has a better camera

I’ve used both and P20 Lite feels better made and has a better screen, P Smart is a nice phone though. Personally I would pay the extra for the P20 lite.

P20 Lite is also more internal storage iirc, at least the one I had was 64GB versus 32GB on the P Smart, though that could be market dependent.

Prefer huawei to be honest

Cant get that on contract

Cash price is around R3k and after buying airtime and bla bla works out to the same as a p smart on contract

Ah yes I only buy prepaid. R50 free airtime from Meandyou mobile and 250mb free data from Afrihost p/m is enough for me.

I’ve never heard of them, and their reviews have a lot of unhappy people (along with a lot of blatant 5 star shills).

I’d be very cautious of them.

yeah they are much cheaper than gearbest as well . Thanks Dave

I would only buy from them if it was possible to pay with PayPal (for non-delivery protection) as there’s enough people complaining about non-delivery for it to be a problem.

Edit, and don’t forget there are China firmware versions of those phones, some come without the Play Store and others with a dodgy “global” ROM that didn’t come direct from Huawei.

aaah ok and you cant load a custom or factory rom

 

[theratman]

P20 lite or a p10 if you can get it imo.

If they arrive with a rogue rom they can never get an OTA update from Huawei.

R70 difference between the smart and p20 lite ..R1500 saving over the long run

Not much though but trying to save and put money somewhere else

aaah ok

p10 is going for R300 a month...is that a much better phone than the p20 lite ?

P10 is last year's flagship while the P20 lite is a mid range phone.

Personally I would take the P10, you going to get gorilla glass protection and a nice metal Unibody construction, also the camera is still better.

Add R99 extra per month for Mate 10 Pro @ Vodacom. So total R399 p/m. Much better specs and features. If you don't mind spending the extra R99 p/m

no thats too much and with voda it can get very bad ..

TM has the p10 for 299

so going to consider between that and the p20 lite
I have a xiaomi at the moment and its decent for the job . Not much into the camera and stuff but if im going to get a good phone better last a while

 

[theratman]

I'd say p10 over P20 lite, I have both, use the p10 daily and the P20 while nice isn't flagship. However it boils down to what you want out of it. 299 for a p10 is good value.

Yeah and the p10 is smaller ...i dont like these massive phones

so might try the p10 ..hope they have stock

 

[I.am.Sam]

Does the p10 and p20 lite come with a free screen change
