Huawei Mate20 Lite (Single SIM) 64 GB 6.3-Inch Android 8.0, SIM-Free Smartphone - UK Version, Black, Huawei Mate 20 Lite Black

Product Information

We’ve mentioned the Huawei Mate 20 Lite display’s expansive dimensions, but we haven’t touched upon its quality. There’s no splash resistance or wireless charging, but that’s par for the course for a mid-range device. It includes a 20-megapixel rear-facing camera and 24-megapixel front-facing camera, both accompanied by a secondary sensor for depth sensing. Just don’t expect to run things on the highest settings, or for the phone to be particularly future-proof.

It certainly doesn’t work at any angle, and it takes a very noticeable one or two second pause before it registers me when head-on.Some of the apps – like the mirror mode which Lets you use the front-facing cameras to check out your mug – are quite handy but packing in five games of variable quality is a bit invasive, as is putting Booking. Just like other devices from HONOR and HUAWEI, you get cool stuff like document scanning, a full-fledged pro mode, time lapse, and (my favorite) light painting. This is the reason you benefit from a minimum 1-year warranty with the purchase of a refurbished device at Back Market.

There’s also a portrait effect that lets you adjust the type of lighting on your face, if you fancy something a little moodier.

The Mate 20 Lite has a 3,750 mAh battery that lasted fourteen hours and two minutes in our Wi-Fi battery life test. Speaking of which, that’s the phone’s other big selling point — a total of four cameras, thanks to an extra lens around the front. You can choose between a number of different characters and create a gif of yourself making funny faces. It also could mean you get the same scene detection and general AI magic brought to photos on the front you get around the back. Seeing as the selfie camera isn’t all that and the face unlock is slower than many other options, I just can’t really recommend this device to anyone.

Let’s be clear that it was a big step down by any analytical metric, but in practical day to day use this screen is more than up to the task. This might be of interest to anyone keen to make the most of the dual camera lenses on the back of the phone, at 20 MP and 2 MP, in addition to the dual lenses on the front, at 24 MP and 2 MP. In bright light, the Mate's images are detailed, but perhaps not really 20MP detailed - pixel-level sharpness isn't spectacular.Even though the cell phone was bulky by today’s standards it was considered the most portable telephone.

Wi-fi Wi-Fi is a popular wireless networking technology using radio waves to provide high-speed network connections that allows devices to communicate without cords or cables, Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming the preferred mode of internet connectivity all over the world. We also took our test device on our compulsory bike ride to compare its location accuracy against a professional navigation device, the Garmin Edge 500. If it’s an overcast day, it will decipher this and inform you that it has made the necessary changes. Impressive a party trick as being able to recognise objects, scenes and conditions is, you’re simply better turning it off until Huawei gets better at knowing what to do with the information.The Mate 20 lite records video at up to 1080p resolution and it comes in standard 30fps flavor, but also a smoother 60fps. Prior to writing and translating for Notebookcheck, I worked for various companies including Apple and Neowin. In the valuation calculator, you'll need to tell us the 'network' your Huawei is connected to, or if it's 'unlocked'. It’s tempting to dismiss this is a simple extension of what digital cameras have been doing for years with their auto settings, adjusting your shots according to surrounding conditions. In most cases, a device that's been 'unlocked' from its network provider (Vodafone, O2, Virgin Mobile, etc.
