Huawei has been teasing a new smartphone online, and just a few days ago, the company finally introduced the smartphone as the Nova 2i Lite. Bearing the NOVA in its name, it’s time we pit it against the Huawei Nova 2i. We will break down the side by side specs of the two in order to help users choose which Nova smartphone should they buy.
The Huawei Nova 2i Lite is a slightly downgraded version of the famous Nova 2i, so we can expect a lower price for this one. Bottomline, it’s still up to the consumer to decide. Though, we still don’t have any idea about the final pricing for the Lite model. Which between the Nova 2i and the Nova 2i Lite will you choose? Let us know by commenting below.
