The Huawei P40 Lite is obviously the most basic variant of the more premium Huawei P40. The device is the first of the P40-series to be announced by Huawei. Design wise, the phone looks very similar to the recently announce Nova 7i, and so does the specs. It comes in a 6.4-inch screen, with 1080 x 2310 pixels resolutions. The device has above 83% screen-to-body ratio, thanks to the use of a punch-hole screen, which hides the selfies sensor instead of notch section atop the display.
Huawei made use of four camera modules at the back. The main sensor is a 48-megapixel unit with f/1.8 aperture and a single LED flash. There is a secondary 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens, and two other units of 2-megapixel depth and macro lens. On the front, you are getting a single 16-megapixel with AI beauty and FaceID.
Under the hood, the new P40 Lite runs on the Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 810 CPU. The Chip has a 2.27 GHz octa-core processor, pegged with Mali-G52 MP6 GPU, 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. The device runs on the latest Android 10 based on EMUI v10 out of the box.
The device offers a side mounted fingerprint scanner, support hybrid SIMs with 4G VoLTE network on both SIMs and available in Black, Emerald Green, Light Pink and Blue colors.
