ISSUE 71 • ANDROID ADVISOR 107Android, making it a little like Apple’s iOS. But you
know what? It doesn’t really matter. Sure, there are
changes, but using it as our main phone we soon
got used to its quirks.
We really can’t complain when a £200 phone
has the latest version of Android at launch ahead of
phones that cost three or four times as much. Honor
isn’t the greatest at updating software though, so
bear this in mind if you want your new phone to
get Android Q or timely security updates.
Battery life
An advantage of many budget phones is good
battery life and the Honor 10 Lite is no exception.
Its generous 3,400mAh battery paired with its low-
end specs mean this is a phone that with light use
lasted us two whole days. Heavier users will still
comfortably end one day on around 30 percent.
Although there’s a faster charger in the box, the
phone doesn’t actually fast charge. Hey ho, it fills up
quick enough. As you’d expect here there’s also no
wireless charging.
Verdict
The Honor 10 Lite is one of the best cheap phones
you can buy, with a large screen, great battery life and
versatile if not excellent cameras. Henry Burrell
