Huawei announced its flagship smartphones, the P10 and P10 Plus, during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month. Just like last year, Huawei will also unveil a Lite version of the flagship, one that seems to be already available for pre-order in Italy.

Last month, Huawei P10 Lite was listed at retailers in the Netherlands carrying a price tag of €350. The estimated purchase date was beginning of March, but the smartphone has yet to be officially announced.

Now, it seems that another retailer from a European country has launched pre-orders for the Huawei P10 Lite. The phone is apparently available in Italy for the price of €349, or about $379. Information about the device’s specs was revealed, confirming previous reports, except for the battery.

3,100mAh battery inside the P10 Lite

The listing shows that Huawei P10 Lite will feature a 5.2-inch Full HD IPS display with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and run an octa-core Kirin 655 chipset, although it isn’t actually specified here. RAM capacity should reach 4GB with 32GB of internal storage and the option to add more using a microSD card.

The battery inside the phone is 3,100mAh, compared to previous rumors which stated that it would draw power from a smaller battery of 3,000mAh. The phone is said to run Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 5.1 on top and come with a 12MP main sensor with f/2.0 aperture and a fingerprint scanner. However, the main camera won’t be Leica branded or feature two sensors like on the P10 and P10 Plus.

Huawei P10 Lite is expected to come in a number of color variants, including black, white and gold, but it won’t be available in Dazzling Blue or Greenery hues like the other two P10 smartphones. Sales for the Huawei P10 Lite are scheduled to start on April 11, the phone will surely see an official unveiling any day now.
