Huawei is working on a lite smartphone running Lollipop; P8 Lite likely

Several leaks about Huawei's next flagship smartphone (the  Huawei P8) has been flowing on the internet for some time now. The phone maker has even sent out invites for the release of the P8 that will happen on April 15th. But it looks like Huawei will not launch the P8 alone on that day. A mysterious device with model number ALE-UL00, and exactly the same design as the P8 has shown up on TENAA's website for certification.

Although the smartphone looks exactly like the P8, it has less good specs, which indicates that it could be a light variant of the P8. It features an unknown 1.2 GHz octa-core processor, 2 GB RAM, 5-inch 720p display, 5 megapixel front camera and a 13 megapixel main camera. The device will run Android 5.0 Lollipop with Emotion UI out of the box. It could be launched alongside the P8 on April 15th.
