Huawei today announced the price of the Nova 2 Lite for the Philippine market, confirming our suspicion that the 18:9 phone with dual rear cameras won’t go any higher than P10,000 (around $192).

The Huawei Nova 2 Lite will be priced at P9,990 ($192) in the country. As we previously mentioned, preorders will run from March 14 to 23, and the redemption period will start from March 24th. Early adopters will get a set of wireless JBL headphones worth P4,599 ($88). That’s a sweet deal if we ever saw one. Check out the preorder details here.

At the said price point, the Nova 2 Lite will be competing head-on with the recently announced OPPO A83, which also sports a taller display, albeit in a smaller footprint. You can see how the upcoming Huawei phone stacks up against the A83 and four other competing handsets in our comparison article.

To recap, the Huawei Nova 2 Lite is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. Measuring six inches across at an 18:9 screen ratio with a 1,440 x 720 resolution, it has slim bezels around the display.
