P30 Lite is the outcast of the new Huawei lineup | Analysis / Review

Huawei returns to Brazil in 2019 initially with two smart phones the most advanced one, the P30 Pro, has already been reviewed here in Tudor Cellular and now it is P30 Lutes turn, much more affordable and with less features. So, does it make sense to give up some good features and spindles money in this mid-range model? This is what this analysis will answer. Do not forget to drop your like here in this video and subscribe to Tudor Cellular channel on YouTube so you won’t miss our next analysis. 

P30 Lutes appearance is similar to the Pro version, the screen is smaller and has no curvature, which leaves the device with almost the same width as the most advanced model The U-shaped notch follows centered at the fronted this model has the loud speaker leaning against the edge. On the back, instead of the four cameras, we have only three – and no powerful tale-objective, but still, having a good lump for the sensors which, by the way, are not from Leica. Here you also have a fingerprint reader. Otherwise, it’ s very similar to the P30 Pro – the sides are basically the same thing at least the Late model has a P2 connector, and the finish here is plastic but at least it looks good. In Brazil it is possible to find this model in black or blue colors the latter brings a gradient finish with a very striking effect. The P30 Lite is a low-cost version for the Huawei line and one of the cuts (of costs) is on the screen, which is LCD here in this model. This means that the Pixels do not actually turn off in the black areas of the image staying at a dark gray nuance. Even so, the display is quite good with comfortable maximum and minimum brightness for use on the street and in low-light environments, respectively. The audio is mono and a little muffled. The sound output is in a position that you will probably cover when you have gaming. 

The EMUI is very similar to the one found in the Pro version but without some features like the Always on Display, for example, because, of course, the LCD display would consume a lot of energy with this feature. Overall it’s the same interface with many options, but without many tweaks which we saw in the P30 Pro. Another cut made regards hardware; no advanced platform from Huawei here, although it is still a proprietary chip set. The Hail icon 710 is also from last year but it was developed for mid-range devices. But we cannot say that it doesn’t get the job done - our speed test was carried out in a reasonable amount of time although not the best one for this category. The Pixel 3a XL, for example, was faster - while the 3a was slightly slower than the P30 Lite. There are other cheaper handsets that are faster than the P30 Lite.In benchmarks; An Tutu shows that the Huawei handset is slightly below a few competitors but not much, reaching about 130,000 points. In games we also had good results, but the device curiously did delivered good results in Subway Surfers. One of the lightest titles wave tested. At least it performed great at Modern Combat 5, Asphalt 9 and PUBG Mobile. The latter developed to run smoothly on all possible devices – it’s good to remember. 

The tech community has always agreed that mid-range devices have more autonomy that the powerful flagships on behalf of the more economic platform, since it works with lower speeds. But this is not always true, and the P30 Lite is the device that proves that. Okay, it has less battery capacity and it uses an LCD screen, but the use time was considerably lower than the one from the P30 Presetting about fifteen hours only. It’s also below rivals available in the domestic market. The recharge time reached a bit over an hour and forty minutes, at least, faster than some of those competitors. It loses in use but the time in the outlet is a bit shorter as well. Huawei has gained notoriety mainly by offering powerful cameras in its flagships and this is another cut made in the P30 Lite, which does not have the Leica lenses present in the more expensive model. Although not as good in photos as the P30 Pro, the Lite version kind of does a good job. With good lighting you can take pictures with great detail and exposure balance. If you turn on artificial intelligence mode, the image gets more balanced in most cases. 

In low light, artificial intelligence does not help but threes Night Mode to shoot sharper images. In this case, it also depends on a certain level of light, this device does not make miracles like the P30 Pro. One of the lenses on the device is an ultra-wide, which also makes shoot great pictures but not in low light - and in that case you cannot use Night Mode to help you. The other lens is also a depth sensor that can be used for photos in Portrait Mode always with a person in the photo, as for the aperture mode, that allows users to shoot in scenarios with objects only. And finally, the sulfide sensor manages to shoot images with great details but here, in Portrait Mode, it does not make much difference. Artificial intelligence also gives a good help in most of the scenarios so, if you want you can always leave it on. 

We compared the quality of the P30 Pro with the Motorola’s One Vision because of the Night Mode, present in both. The P30 Lite has slightly better quality most of the time the exposure is more balanced, but many will prefer the One Vision for delivering clearer images. The Night Mode kind of works the same way; the One Vision gives a greater amount of illumination, trying to also improve the sharpness while the P30 Lite works more sharply and does not change a lot the amount of light in the image. The P30 Lite only records video in Full HD and loses sharpness compared to the photos. The audio captured is good. The P30 Lite arrived with an mid range-premium price in Brazil it has its merits, but it is a more expensive device than the main competitors delivering less on most of the items. The Galaxy A50 has better performance and autonomy than the P30 Lit which at least wins over the Motorola One Vision in both cases. In summary, the P30 Lite charges more to not deliver the same as its rivals and we still have other options available with performance at as good as it, and even more battery such as the Galaxy M30, Moto G7 Plus and Ximenes models, such as the Remand Note 7.

On camera, the thing changes; the P30 Lite has enough features and knows how to use this advantage well delivering sharp photos. The Galaxy A50 has almost the same quality, while the One Vision tends to prioritize exposure on the image object and it can burst the sky or the lighter areas. These three handsets are also slightly ahead of devices such as Moto G7 Plus and the Remand Note 7.

Huawei has cut enough in the P30 Lite to offer a cheaper model to consumers, but it overdid when doing that. The P30 Lite has its qualities, but it is not a device to cost more than R$ 2000.The Brazilian market has options at least as good as and with lower prices. Despite the best quality in photos, the Huawei handset is not so far ahead to justify the considerably higher price. Strong points? The camera, and for those who like it, this blue version has a nice finishing effect. Weaknesses, we mention battery autonomy, audio quality and even the performance. All at least a little behind cheaper competitors. And then I ask you, what do you think about the P30 Lite? What points caught your attention and where could it be better?
