The Huawei GR3 2017 displays a full HD screen resolution on its 5.2-inch IPS LCD panel that leans on wide viewing angles and natural colors.
The main camera makes use of a 12MP sensor while the selfie camera tries to make do with an 8MP sensor wherein both can record up to 1080p @ 30fps.
Huawei’s very own EMUI 5.0 based on Android 7.0 Nougat runs under the GR3 2017 while being powered by a 3000mAh battery.
The affordable mid-ranger almost hit all the categories for a mid-range smartphone if not only for its limiting 16GB of internal storage. However, an option to expand up to 256GB via microSD card tries to make up for it.
The Huawei GR3 2017 / Huawei P8 Lite 2017/ Honor 8 Lite is available in black, white, gold, and blue colors and can be bought in official and participating stores.
