The display is bright enough and sunlight legibility is also up to the mark. Colors are vibrant and sharp and videos watching or gaming experience is better than many phones in a similar price range.
Cameras
As far as the cameras are concerned, the Huawei Nova 3 Lite on the rear packs a 13MP primary camera and a secondary 2MP lens for depth effect. The rear camera setup has autofocus. On the front, we get a 16MP camera for selfies. The results are decent but not great. Pictures taken in good lighting conditions are great however, the camera suffers in low lighting conditions. Portrait mode is also pretty average and edge detection could have been much better.
