Hindi naman lahat nakukuha lng sa specs. Factor dn dude un built ng product, un premium hawakan, un nde cheap. Specs wise comparable sila, angat p nga P8 when it comes to camera. Kinocompare p nga yn P8 sa S6 Edge -http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s6-edge-vs-huawei-p8-hands-602029/ so flagship phone yn, nde midranger lng like overhyped zf2

Is that supposed to be 5.5″ and not 5.”? The lite has a 5″ screen. Why just a 0.2″ difference?
