Days after the press render of the Honor 8 Lite appeared online, Huawei has made it official in Finland. The phone is currently available for pre-orders and will go on sale starting February 17. Interestingly, this development took place just days before MWC 2017 event. It comes in blue, black, gold, and white colors with a price tag of 269 Euros which converts to approximately Rs 19,500.
