Huawei P8 Lite (2017) renamed as Nova Lite?

Huawei originally introduced the P8 Lite in 2015, and recently during the CES 2017 the company did announce a newer version of the same smartphone. It has been deemed to be the successor of the 2015 edition P8 Lite smartphone.

However, the company might be changing the name of the smartphone this time and reports have suggested that the P8 Lite will be sold under a different name in some countries. The name that the smartphone will adopt is said to be "Huawei Nova Lite".
