Description

Huawei P20 Lite hosts a 5.84" LCD screen with 1080 x 2280 pixels resolution, returning the robust 423ppi pixel density - well, apart from the top screen cutout, of course. The notch has allowed Huawei to keep the dimensions of the P20 Lite very, very compact. It also houses the 16MP selfie snapper and sensors that allow Huawei to implement a Face Unlock feature of sorts, logging in 96 face points. There is a 16MP main camera at the back as well, which is paired with depth-sensing 2MP shooter for "bokeh". Unfortunately, the middling Kirin 659 processor gets confirmed. There are no compromises with the memory situation, though, as the phone will ship in a 4GB/64GB setup, or with the software level, as it comes with the latest Android 8.0 Oreo.
