Huawei P30 Lite officially announced

As expected, the P30 Lite ditches a couple of the several that makes the P30 and P30 Pro stand out but manages to a pleasing design with a versatile triple camera set up all at a budget price.

Much like the P30 and P30 Pro, ‘t’he Huawei P30 Lite has a teardrop notch and a colorful back, and that appears to be the only noteworthy similarities. The internal makeup has been slightly altered so as to perfectly fit into your budget. The device parades a slim and light profile with curved 3D glass on the back that makes it sit more comfortably in your hands, notwithstanding the glossy finishing. There at the back, there is a fingerprint scanner, a triple camera setup namely: a 24MP f/1.8 main sensor, a 2MP depth sensor for bokeh effects and a 8MP f/2.4 ultra-wide sensor which allows you to cram in more scenery. And much like the P30, the budget P30 Lite features a 32-megapixel selfie camera in the tiny dewdrop notch around the front.

Fronting the device is a 6.15-inch full HD+ (2,321 x 1,080) display, while it ticks the mid-range  Kirin 710 chipset, coupled with 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of expandable storage. The device gets a 3,340mAh battery that supports 18-watt charging, USB-C connectivity, GPU Turbo 2.o support, while it boots Android 9 out of the box.

Information on pricing and roll out date are still sparse, though the variant with 4GB and 128GB is at the moment on sale at 5,127 Rand (~$369) on the official South African store.
