Huawei officially introduced the much talked about Mate 10, mate 10 pro and the Mate 10 Porsche edition at an event in Germany just yesterday. These phones pack some very respectable internals as well as designs and as such doesn’t come cheap. Today in Germany, Huawei has added Huawei mate 10 lite to the mate 10 line up.The Mate 10 lite actually made several appearances to the rumor mill, but not a word was said about it at the event yesterday, the device is now listed on the company’s official website.
The mate 10 lite as you would probably imagine is a toned down variant of the Mate 10 pro, mate 10 and mate 10 Porsche and costs less. Specifically, Huawei Mate 10 lite now run on Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 5.1 out of the box, but it is tipped to get Android 8.0 Oreo soon and is powered by a less capable octa-core Kirin 659 SoC and so lacks the artificial intelligence of the other siblings.
