REVIEW


Huawei’s P30 Lite. Although they look identical, there
are subtle differences: the camera protrudes much
less on the 20 Lite and the bottom edge is curved
rather than flat.
The 6.21in screen has an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, with
a 1080p resolution. It’s an IPS panel with good enough
quality and brightness that we can’t turn up our noses
at this price, and the notch for the selfie camera is tiny.
Huawei goes for a 6.15in screen, which has slightly
fewer pixels and a 19.3:9 aspect ratio, but they look
the same when placed next to each other, with around
a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. The bezels are a
good bit thinner than the Honor 10 Lite’s.
There’s a bigger difference between the two
phones: the 20 Lite has a Micro-USB port where
there’s USB-C on the P30 Lite. For some people that
will be the deciding factor, but as the P30 Lite costs
£80 more we’d suggest it’s a reasonable compromise
to live with Micro-USB.
A fingerprint scanner resides on the back, and
there’s a standard headphone jack on the bottom,
along with a mono speaker (the one at the top of the
screen is just for phone calls).
The model we were sent for review – HRY-LX1T –
supports dual SIM, but you have to choose between
a second SIM or a microSD card if you want to expand
the 128GB of internal storage.

Cameras are really important to most people, and it’s
worth pointing out that the ‘triple lens, triple the fun’
tag line is ever-so-slightly misleading. Yes, there are
