Because this phone may not be a Pixel lite. It could be a tablet. It could be a portable refrigerator. All we (think we) know is the silicon coming into play.

It's also going to be known as the Huawei Nova 2i and may be known as the Huawei Mate 10 Lite to other parts of the world.

Microsplatter was hot yesterday, not so today. This time around, it’s dot-hatching found on the bottom half of the back of the HTC Desire 650.
The Desire 650 was said to be internally known as the A17 and was mentioned alongside what was then to be the Bolt or the HTC 10 evo. Polycarbonate may be word of the day for these Desire phones big and small, but two finishes leave our eyes caught anyways — one has a primary midnight blue with navy camera rim and logo accent and a more teal power button, the other fills the shell with white and keeps all the secondary aspects in a neon yellow.
The phone also features a new “Night Mode” to ease blue light output for sensitive eyes, a 13-megapixel main camera with f/2.2 aperture and a 5-megapixel selfie camera with f/2.8 aperture, both of them utilizing BSI sensors. Other specs include an unnamed quad-core Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage with microSD card support and a 5-inch 720p LCD.
Taiwan will see this phone launch early next month for the equivalent of $170 or so. The phone or its lower-end derivations may spread across the world.

Huawei was ready, but then it wasn’t.
The company, as it is prone to do, was about to launch a Lite version of its Mate 9 phone after giving a couple extra punches in the high end with the Mate 9 Pro and Porsche Design edition.
We even had all the specs and a webpage on Huawei’s site laid out, too. A 5.5-inch full HD screen with Android Marshmallow (and EMUI 4.1), a mid-range octa-core Kirin 655, 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of storage. A USB-C connector, a 3,340mAh battery and a fingerprint reader top off the main body of work.
The front camera is equipped with an 8-megapixel sensor while the rear unit is two sensors. Based on how Huawei has utilized such a setup, we presume that the color unit is 12 megapixels while the monochrome unit is an astounding 2 megapixels.
Will results produced here suffice for a more budget-friendly Mate 9? We aren’t sure if it’s even affordable to say the least: the page has been taken down from the website (rendering all these specs as eye candy) and no pricing has been mentioned.

Honor, firmly under Huawei’s wing, has seen new land over the past several months as the 5X finally came to American shores. However, if you’re on that chunk of land looking forward to some more Honor action anytime soon, forget it. At least, for now.

HTC is no stranger to making striking hardware that performs well, but most of us likely think of the flagship One lineup when we hear the name HTC. The Desire brand, however, is a little bit different. Way back in the day, the original HTC Desire was basically a Nexus One with an optical sensor instead of the Nexus’ roller ball. Since then the Desire family has slid into the mid-tier realm, and such is the case with the HTC Desire 626 which was just launched on AT&T.Like prior phones that carried the Desire moniker, this phone is a pleasant plastic unit with front-firing ...
