worked okay, but not very well particularly on close up
shots in dingy settings.
The cameras are not near the quality of phones like
the Google Pixel 3 or Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro but again,
for the price, it’s all rather impressive.
As is clumsily emblazoned on the back of the
phone, the 10 Lite has Honor’s ‘AI camera’, which
really means it has a mode that saturates colours
to make your snaps a bit more social media ready.
Results are decent enough without, but it’s an
inoffensive enough feature that you might appreciate.
Less fun is the extreme beauty modes applied to
the front facing camera. Turn it off though, and it’s a
perfectly good selfie camera that can even muster a
portrait effect.
Despite the tall 19.5:9 aspect ratio of the screen
it’s still very pocketable, measuring 154.8x73.6x8mm.
This makes it only a touch larger than the excellent
Honor 9 Lite, but adds an extra half inch to the
2,340x1,080 display. It’s a good upgrade.Performance
Within that plastic frame there’s also a headphone
jack, a desirable feature you only see on cheaper
phones nowadays, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor
that works very well and a Micro-USB port that hints at
the fact this is a budget smartphone. We hoped to see
the better USB-C here but you can’t have everything.
There’s even the lesser spotted FM radio, provided you
plug in wired headphones to act as an antenna.
Performance is also great for the price. There’s a
Kirin 710 processor paired with 3GB RAM in our review
