Huawei Honor 10 Lite smartphone - advantages and disadvantages

In November 2018, Honor, a subsidiary of the Huawei brand, will officially present to the public its new "brainchild" - Honor 10 Lite. Shortly before the official presentation, the main characteristics and photos of the smartphone had already leaked to the network. What it will be, and what to expect for fans of the brand - we will find out in this article.

What will surprise Honor 10 Lite

Below we will take a closer look at what is interesting about the "lightweight" version of 10 Honor, and in what way it surpasses its older brother.

Equipment

The items that come with a smartphone rarely change dramatically. Most likely, in addition to the phone itself, the kit will contain a charger, a cable for connecting to a computer, a transparent protective case and a tool for extracting SIM cards. There will be no headphones in the box.

Design

In terms of looks, the manufacturers have abandoned their last year's concept, which they successfully implemented in 5x, 6x and 7x. In previous models, the cases were either made of metal and plastic, or completely all-metal. This time the company tried something new for itself, and very successfully.

On the other hand, 10 Lite has become a common line of smartphones in the mid-range and flagship price segment of 2019. He got glass front and back. This is not Gorilla Glass, but a local Chinese manufacturer. The quality of the glass is durable, but for peace of mind it is better to acquire additional protection, because if it falls on the floor, it will inevitably break.

The glasses are slightly convex, they have an excellent oleophobic coating on the front and back, on the test models prints are erased very easily. A metal frame runs along the perimeter of the smartphone. In this model, aluminum.

In addition to white, blue and black, there will be two more iridescent gradient colors available - pink and blue. It looks interesting, beautiful and thoughtful.

The headphone jack is in place, thanks that the manufacturers did not remove it, it is very convenient. There is also a notification light, so you don't have to be afraid to miss an important message or call - a soft glow will remind you of all unanswered calls.

Thanks to Honor for investing money in the appearance of the device for a small cost - for 2019, the model falls into the middle price segment.
On the exterior of the 10 Lite we tried and made a few highlights to make it different. This is noticeable with the naked eye. It is especially pleasant that the logo was removed from the front, so it is more solid. It is quite possible to use one palm if you really try.

Screen

On the front panel at the top, the smartphone is decorated with a drop-shaped cutout. It's not as huge as the I Phone X, as there are no face sensors, so the cutout isn't large. In operation, it does not interfere with the user in any way, since the display is 6, 21 inches and so allows you to view a large amount of information.

Better a small notch and a larger display area than no notch and huge side bezels.

If the presence of the "bangs" still interferes with the user, then it can be hidden using the item in the menu settings. Despite the fact that there is an IPS display, not an AMOLED, it is made with high quality, and in everyday use this "bang" on the screen, the user will not notice.

Of course, at certain angles, and under direct rays of the sun and light, it is possible to distinguish it from the rest of the deep black edging, but this will be deliberate nit-picking.

The resolution in the phone is Full HD +, a screen with an IPS matrix, high quality, pleasant and with a good range of brightness. 85% of the entire front side of the phone is occupied by the screen - the display is huge. The pixels are not visible, and the picture is contrasty and bright.

Despite the fact that the display protection is not Gorilla Glass, but tempered glass from another Chinese manufacturer, it is still quite durable.

And this is just a phone for those with an average budget. Here it is - "average budget" from Honor.

Processor and performance

Huawei mainly uses processors it develops itself. Of course, you can find flaws in them, a lot of flaws, but lately, they have become so technically modern and advanced, and Huawei puts in them so much strength, money and thoughts of the best engineers - that they can quite stand on the same step with processors Qualcomm, which are popular and loved by many.

That only is one of the latest Kirin 980, created using 7 - nano-meter technology. Or the proprietary GPU Turbo, which allows you to overclock the processor cores and the internal component of Mali, which is used in Kirin processors, to such a level, so that you can comfortably enjoy the cutting-edge hits of the gaming world at maximum graphics settings.

Kirin are high-quality technological processors, because they were invented for the company, for the needs and corporate achievements, and the entire software component is customized individually for their characteristics.

The 10 lite has a processor invented by Honor itself, the Kirin 710. The same is found in the Huawei Nova 3 and Nova 3I. In fact, the proprietary Kirin 710 chip is an analogue of the Snapdragon 660.

Graphics Accelerator - Mali G 51 + GPU Turbo technology, according to which graphics can accelerate and become faster when needed.

In past Honor models, it was seen how the company's engineers literally "pulled" the maximum out of the Mali graphics, so that the picture at maximum settings and with low heating was comparable to that which we see on Snapdragon 835 and 845 processors with Adreno graphics. Special thanks to the developers for this.

You shouldn't expect any special miracles with the 710 Kirin, but no one is going to doom him to failure either. Considering the experience of previous smartphones on this processor, the picture should please with smoothness, not "freeze", and not give "drawdowns" in games. The official presentation will answer many of the remaining questions.

The 10 lite shouldn't feel warm, but it will be possible to measure the exact level of heating after the announcement of the "newbie".
In general, such a processor will ensure smooth system operation, quick application launch, quick response, comfortable and pleasant use.

RAM in the top ten is 6 or 4 gigabytes, depending on the version. Built-in - 64 or 128 gigabytes. If the volume seems small to the user, it will be possible to expand and add space using Micro SD cards with a capacity of up to 256 gigabytes.
Fast charging is not available or supported. There is no Type-c support, which is a drawback in 2019, as is the USB 2.0 connector. This was upsetting.

Honor is one of the few companies that listens to the wishes of customers and does everything to please them. For example, the slot here supports two SIM cards and one memory card at the same time. Triple card tray. Now you don't have to choose between the second number and additional gigabytes of memory. A trifle - but a very pleasant and necessary point.

Operating system and shell

The smartphone has a proprietary shell EMUI 9.0, developed on Android 9.0 Pie, which the phone was "awarded" by default.

The shell is excellently optimized, animations are crisp and sliding, applications start quickly and do not crash. A large number of settings will delight users who like to personalize the device as much as possible, fine-tuning it to their tastes.

Autonomy

A 3320 MAH battery will last, on average, for a day - one and a half without additional recharging, and six - seven hours of active screen operation.Unfortunately, there will be no fast charging in the model.

When using the Internet, social networks, watching videos on You tube with 4G turned on, the battery will last almost two days. The result is very good.

Cameras

The main dual module consists of two sensors. The first is 13 million pixels, the second is two million. There is no optical zoom, but there is a "bokeh" effect in photographs.

Selfie camera with 24 megapixels, portrait mode and a special night mode for shooting in the dark. Judging by the characteristics, it turned out to be quite a good device for high-quality photos and video filming.

Safety

The fingerprint scanner is responsible for keeping your data safe and your phone inaccessible to others. It is located in the 10 Lite on the rear panel, this arrangement is very convenient, since the cameras are a little further, and it is difficult to accidentally touch them with your finger.

Unlocking in the face of the owner is also present in the smartphone, it works perfectly. This way of unlocking is finding more and more fans, and who knows, maybe in the future they will completely abandon the fingerprint scanner in the world of mobile technologies.

Price

According to preliminary data, the cost of the phone will start from 200 - 285 US dollars. Translated into Russian rubles, it turns out that Honor 10 Lite will cost from 13,152 to 19,100 rubles. Again, all prices are preliminary and subject to change.
