I received this Huawei P20 lite as part a review program in return for an unbiased review. The Huawei P20 lite is the cheapest option out of the P20 range, it's big brothers being the P20 and P20 Pro. But it still packs a punch in it's midrange world! The P20 lite is perfectly capable of everyday tasks, like Web browsing, social media and some “lite” gaming.I was also impressed by the build quality with its glass body and metal trim, gives it that premium look and feel. Battery life was good, not great but with around 3.5 / 4 hours of screen on time, which is fairly standard now. Huawei supplies you with a turbocharger which managed to take me from 5% to 100% in 1 hour and 31 minutes.That is great news as you'll need to top it up if you're a heavy user.Now let's talk about the camera, which at this price point and being the only one in the p20 range not to receive Leica optics/branding, the camera is good! Pictures come out sharp and with great detail. The only let down is on the video side of things. No OIS (optical image stabilisation) or EIS (electronic image stabilisation), so your video will only be as steady as your hand, although maybe that's too much to ask from a £300 smartphone. The front facing camera is a very capable 16mp shooter, it includes those all important bokeh shots. It's a software bokeh but it seems to work quite nicely, I have been pleasantly surprised with both cameras on this device.The P20 lite has a rear mounted fingerprint scanner, making it different from its bigger brother but also giving more screen to body ratio. Although once I had set up the face unlock feature, I hardly used the fingerprint scanner. The face unlock was fast and efficient, only struggled in the dark. If you turn up the screen brightness to full, that seems to help.The notch! Love it or hate it's here and to be honest I think it's grown on me over the past two weeks of testing. I actually like having that extra space for notifications and if you really don't like it, you can change it. By going into the settings and making either side of the notch black if you so desired. Now one small problem is that this is not an AMOLED screen, just IPS LCD. So the screen isn't 100% black and yes you can still see the notch. Didn't bother me as I just left the notch on.The Huawei P20 lite is amazing with a big display in a small device, the phone is easy to hold and light too. I was very impressed with the camera and overall build and design but ( there has to be a but..) the user interface! The EMUI skin that Huawei use just seems childish to me and no matter what theme I used I could not change the settings menu. The CPU, the Kirin 659 is over a year old now and has been used in many cheaper devices from Huawei and its subsidiaries. Multitasking was a problem, it just couldn't keep up with what I was asking it to do.Well what can I say, the Huawei P20 lite is great, a phone with that must have 2018 specification, the notch! And at a very affordable price tag, if it just had a bit more power and a better user interface I could maybe get along with it. Would I recommend this phone? Yes! To someone looking for a good deal on a notch device or maybe save up and buy yourself a P20.

I received this product as part of a review program in return for an unbiased review.As the name suggests, the P20 Lite is something of a cut-down version of Huawei's flagship P20 handset. It's no slouch though, with a powerful processor and 4GB of RAM, along with 64GB of storage and a micro SD slot. It feels really snappy to use, and while it lacks the Leica camera featured on the P20, image quality is still really good.The fingerprint reader is positioned on the rear of the phone, and works pretty much instantaneously. The positioning does mean that you have to pick up the phone to unlock it (unless you want to enter your PIN/pattern) so is a bit of a tradeoff.Despite the large screen,

I received this product as part of a review program in return for an unbiased review. I'm one of those people, who do not switch phones every time there's a new flagship model. I want to use the same phone for as long as possible. My P8 Lite served me well for three years, but was getting slow and the battery life left a lot to hope for. So, I decided to get a new one, another Huawei.I learnt to love the notification light on my old phone, as it was very handy for someone like me, who receives a lot of messages and emails. I was thrilled to notice that the new one has one as well, however it's much smaller and you barely notice it. Another minus point is that you can only sync your email every 15 minutes,

I think this is a cracking mobile. The crisp 1080p screen is good for watching films and even has the infamous notch if thats to people's liking, but it can be changed to no notch. The 2.36 ghz Kirin 659 is lightening fast. And good for gaming it runs Real Racing 3 sweet with no lag at all. Even all the reviews seem to say Kirin 659 is slow and outdated processor.Have not experienced any heat issues. Im glad Huawei have included a USB-C port as this is 2018.The 16mpx F2.2 aperture front camera is very good. but slight issues on low light. But overall im very impressed. Now the front facing 16mpx F2.0 aperture is brilliant for low light and taking selphies.Its lightening quick at charging about 90 mins from flat to full as ive found.

I received Huawei P20 Lite as part of campaign for an unbiased review.I have been using P20 Lite just over a month and I am very pleased with its performance.It charges to a full battery in a couple of hours and I only charge it every second day although I watch Netflix, speak on the phone and browse on the Internet a lot. Comparing to my previous phone by a famous brand, it holds considerably longer.It works fast and loads apps and internet sites without delays. It is lightweight, slim and has a good size screen. It works well with my smart watch.I am particularly pleased with the performance of the camera and variety of Pro settings, filters, watermarks and other options.

I bought the Huawei P20 lite to replace my Samsung which was started to go slow and run out of space after 3 years. The changeover was easy enough. Got a nano sim, used phone clone and it copied all my apps, photos, videos, texts, phone logs and contacts over in less that 20 minutes. I had to transfer WhatsApp conversations in a different way but again easy stuff. So far so good, the camera functionality is better than the Samsung and you can bundle apps into folders. There's 64GB of storage plus my memory card so I'm good for plenty of that plus all the usual cloud back up. Call quality is fine and security set up seems ok. Early days but seems a fantastic device for the price and I'm still on Android which is fine.

I have given 5 stars as I haven't found anything that I dislike yet. But I have rated 4 stars on the features as I do not have the technical knowledge to rate and compare it in terms of current specs for other devices. I took a punt on this brand. I had heard good and bad things. But ultimately, for what I use it for, it's great. I don't go heavy on apps and 4g usage. I like the camera quality, even though it's the lower spec model, it's still better than my last 2 phones. Screen brightness is not brilliant in bright light, but not a major concern for me. Speakers are okay, again, not amazing, but it's good for what I use it for. Build quality seems good. Screen response and finger print sensor are great.

Had this phone for nearly a year, and what can I say other that it's never battered an eye lid. Battery only gets better over time as long as you charge it right. Never slowed down under lots of perment use, I have been using it as a work phone in construction so its not as though its been at desk all day. Have dropped it numerous times and had only a slight crack that you can't see so the glass is superb. For the amp size of the battery it's brilliant. Camera quality is good but not something I look for in a phone. Will stick with huawei as long as they keep bringing phones out like this

After countless problems with iPhones in the past I decided to make the switch and bought the Huawei P20 lite. It is so easy to use, with very long battery power (I can use it without charging for around 2 days), great memory and camera!The only difficult part was the transferring of data from iphone to android however I just put everything I could on google drive and it was actually ok in the end :) Two friends have since made the transition from iphone to huawei after me and feel the same way! Overall a really great phone, very happy with it!

I got fed up of iPhone and thought I'd give in and give android a go and if I liked it I'd move over to Samsung. But I can honestly say forget Samsung this phone is brilliant the battry is amazing the pictures it takes are unbelievable (pictures from a recent trip to Florence) and I will stick with huawei.Can't believe I got it for £200

great phone takes a lovely picture just love these phones at the moment second Huawei phone ive had stopped using my last one only because the battery was lasting just a couple of hours in the day that was the P9 lite lasted 3 years so up gradeded to the P20 lite and so far have not been disappointed.

10.6.2019

Upgraded from a P10 lite used for 1 year and a half. The phone is what I had expected from it, more smooth than P10lite, better camera, more sophisticated looking. Had used in the past several iPhone models and a Sony, but this series from Huawei is way better. Great phone!
