On trading platforms Sales of the 2017 Nova Lite phone are starting in Russia. This smartphone presented as a budget option. It is not intended for productivity gaming or other "serious" use. And why, let's figure it out.
The phone has a 5-inch diagonal display, IPS matrix. Nova Lite is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chip. As standard, the phone comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, of course, the memory can be expanded if desired using a memory card. The battery is set to 3000 mAh, for gadgets in 2017 this is not bad at all, but far from ideal. This battery volume is enough for continuous use of the smartphone for 12 hours. If everything is not bad with autonomy, then the camera will not particularly please users - the main one is 13 megapixels, the front one is 5 megapixels. The main feature of the device is its software– Emotion UI 5.1 on Android 7. This software has already proven itself well, and the main highlight of this software is the ability to instantly access all functions of the smartphone. This makes it possible to control your phone with just a few touches. For example, in 3 touches you can turn on or off any process, be it calls, messages or taking photos, videos, etc. Also, the Huawei Share function will allow you to quickly exchange data between two gadgets.
Like all modern smartphones, Nova Light 2017 has the “Eye Comfort” function, thanks to which you can protect your eyes from overexertion and negative consequences from long-term use of the smartphone. What exactly does a smartphone do to protect your eyes? Changes blue contrast, color temperature, and also adjusts to lighting, thereby preserving your vision. True, no one usually uses this function, so you will have to count it among the pros or cons of this smartphone yourself. 
As many have already noted, Huawei has achieved great results in the reaction speed of the fingerprint sensor - 0.3 seconds, this is very impressive, especially if you have previously walked with mobile device over a year old. What will be new is not only the reaction speed, but the fact that the sensor is able to distinguish not only full prints, but also partial, wet, and even dirty hands will not be a hindrance. Plus, a fingerprint sensor will help you protect information on your smartphone.

The display is completely frameless, only in the upper part there is a tiny window for the 8-megapixel front camera. The rear camera could be better - only 13 megapixels for the main sensor and 2 megapixels for the secondary one, that is, the same characteristics as in inexpensive models.
