Honor 10 Lite - hit on all counts

Prior to the release of Honor 10 Lite, it was believed that there are expensive and productive smartphones, or cheap, but ugly and simple. Yes, you can not discount some devices from the middle price segment with good characteristics and relatively sane cost. But it's all worth forgetting, as the hero of today's review literally breaks the patterns. For modest money, the manufacturer promises a very stylish and fast phone, which also got a lot of nice features. Is this really the case? Let's figure it out together.

Equipment

The device comes in a compact box. Inside is the smartphone itself, as well as documentation, a clip, charging, cable, case and good headphones (not in all versions). A good kit, because after all we are dealing with a budget model.

Design

Honor 10 Lite received a spectacular polished case with an elegant metal frame. On the front there is a frameless display with rounded corners and a small “drop”, which here replaces the bulky “bangs”. It feels like the front side has a limitless screen. This was recently characteristic only of flagship mobile devices. The back side is made of glossy plastic.

There is a fingerprint scanner, as well as an LED flash, a dual camera and company logos. On the bottom you can see the external speaker grill, headphone jack, micro USB and microphone. At the same time, a SIM slot is located on the upper end. The gadget is comfortable to hold in your hands, although it has got a slippery glossy case. This was achieved using high-quality materials, thoughtful ergonomics and well-chosen dimensions. Available colors: white, blue, black, red. Dimensions: thickness - 8 mm, height - 154.8 mm, width - 73.6 mm, weight - 162 g.

Display

This smartphone is equipped with a moderately large 6.21-inch screen with a ratio of 19.9: 9. This makes the display clearly elongated, and also allows you to use the device more comfortably. IPS matrix has excellent viewing angles. She got an impressive resolution - 2340 by 1080 pixels. Therefore, with detail and clarity there are no problems at all. The reserve of brightness may not be enough, especially in bright sunny weather. The colors here are very rich, which pleases the eye.

Performance

The technical side of the Honor 10 Lite is also strong. There is a Kirin 710 processor, consisting of eight cores, a Mali-G51 MP4 graphics accelerator and an LTE modem. Its maximum clock frequency reaches 2200 MHz. A version of a smartphone with 3 or 4 GB of RAM, as well as built-in file storage of 64 GB, will certainly hit the domestic shelves. But there is a more expensive modification, which includes 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of internal memory. Supported microSD cards up to 512 GB. There is a GPU Turbo mode that allows you to turn on additional power for especially demanding toys. Initially, the user has access to the Android 9.0 (Pie) operating system, which is redone thanks to the EMUI 9.0 shell. In the AnTuTu test, the hero of the review gains more than 140,000 points. The phone is fast, the interface does not slow down.

Camera

The device has a dual camera: 13-megapixel sensor with hybrid autofocus and aperture 1.8 + 2-megapixel depth measurement sensor.

The color rendition is pleasantly pleasing, which is beyond praise here. Artificial intelligence does not spoil the pictures, as it correctly adjusts the settings in accordance with the shooting conditions and the level of lighting. At the same time, the noise reduction system works too aggressively, so picture distortion will be noticeable in the evening.Video can be shot without problems in FHD resolution. There is also a 24MP front wide-angle camera with a 2.0 aperture. She got an automatic HDR mode to immediately enhance photos.

Sound

Surely, music lovers will be happy with the smartphone. The sound is distinguished by the study of all frequencies (even low). The sound is very detailed, and the increased volume margin allows you to listen to music with special comfort in any situation. The speakers are nothing special. The multimedia speaker is very loud, but without any revelations.

Autonomy

Inside the gadget is a battery with a capacity of 3400 mAh. This non-removable battery will work without problems for up to two days in a balanced mode of use. Standard battery charging lasts several hours.

Video reviews

Price

And the best part for many buyers is hidden in price. So, the device costs from 220 dollars. And this is a very "tasty" proposal, taking into account the capabilities of the device.

Conclusion

What do we have at the output? Honor 10 Lite is a fast, beautiful, frameless smartphone with NFC, a fingerprint scanner and a dual camera. And it is sold at a reasonable price, which is important. In terms of quality and price, this smartphone is one of the best, and maybe the only such solution.
