    Two SIM cards can be inserted into Huawei's P8 lite (2017); a single-SIM version also exists on the market, but it is presently not available in Europe. The storage can be expanded by up to 128 GB via a micro-SD card but in favor of one SIM slot

The 2017 edition of the Huawei P8 Lite is one of the best mid-range smartphones. Its stylish superslim design and ultra-bright hi-res display make it a nice phone to handle, and it delivers fast performance from its 8-core processor. Running Android 7, it comes with an excellent camera and large battery too.
