Design and Build

The P10 Lite Huawei, a budget and chic smartphone, carries a frame made of aluminum that is very thin, with a thickness of only 7.2mm and a weight of 146g. It could be had in Midnight Black, Sapphire Blue, Pearl White, and Platinum Gold, and its small 5.2-inch screen ensured that it was easy to handle. Although a back fingerprint sensor allows speedy and safe entry, it does not have resistance to water. In general, users like the light weight and stylish design, but it lacks a premium feeling compared to the flagship Huawei P10.

Display

The Huawei P10 Lite is a device which screen is of 5.2' diagonal and its resolution is IPS LCD 1080 by 1920 pixels. It gave 424 PPI that is sharp and hence resulted in pictures full of life. With a brightness of about 450 nits, it is an ideal screen for surfing, watching, and playing. The 60Hz refresh rate is typical for the set price, but it is still lesser than the AMOLED glow of the Huawei P30 and suchlike.

Pricing and Availability

The Huawei P10 Lite 3GB/32GB version which was released in March 2017 was priced at around $250 and subsequently, it became very sought after by budget-minded buyers. The stock was available through Huawei’s online store and major retailers. The production of this model was ceased in 2019, but those that are restored are still being sold for $70 to $120 which gives the great deal of users who still need a compact, reliable, and basic smartphone a chance to consider it. It is definitely not the right pick for them as it doesn’t support 5G and is quite out-of-date.
