The Huawei Mate 20 Lite is part of the trio of successors of last year’s Mate 10 lineup. The Mate 20 lite is obviously the cheapest and watered down version of the three handsets. Nonetheless it is part of the flagship lineup so it is still a decent phone. Prices of this phone starts at roughly Rs. 40,000 let’s see what the Mate 20 Lite has to offer.

Polished looks and large screen

The Huawei Mate 20 Lite is a tall rounded phone and is beautiful at first glance. The phone has an aluminum body and a front glass panel which makes for a stunning combination. The screen on the front is all you’ll see measuring in at 6.3-inches in diagonal. The resolution is FHD+ with a pixel density of 409ppi. Despite being a bezel-less display, Huawei has unfavorably put up a notch at the top, as most Chinese manufacturers do now. The notch is where the earpiece, dual front facing camera and sensors are found.

The back of the phone is clean save for the elegantly positioned dual camera and fingerprint scanner right under it.

Camera

The front camera setup comprises of a 24MP shooter and a 2MP depth focus one. Video recording here maxes out at 1080p at 30fps as well.
