Huawei's budget e-brand, Honor, is known for smartphones that offer a high-level of specification without costing the earth, as we saw with the impressive Honor 10 , Honor Play , and Honor 8X in 2018.
The HONOR 10 Lite is not exactly a lightweight when it comes to features and design. This midrange smartphone is incredibly stylish and functional, and boasts twice the storage of many other devices occupying this portion of the market.
The overall design wouldn't look out of place in a more expensive device, with the elongated display, corner mounted cameras and dewdrop notch just a few of the more eye-catching features. With some cool colour options, including a beautiful Sky Blue, this is a very good-looking phone for the price. Plus, the screen to body ratio of more than 90% and a 6.21-inch display promises a great viewing experience.
The AI front camera recognizes eight selfie scenarios and optimizes the background so you always stand out, while the new AI beauty algorithm can customize beauty effects including acne removal, face slimming, eye bags removal and even teeth whitening! General photography is just as feature-packed, including super night shoot mode which allows you to take night shots in under six seconds of exposure with an anti-shake feature.
Gaming is better than before thanks to HONOR’s self-proclaimed "ground-breaking GPU Turbo" which vastly improves the efficiency of GPU graphics processing and the overall user gaming experience.
This might be a midrange phone, but the HONOR 10 Lite features a Kirin 7106 chipset and flagship-level Cortex-A73 core for reduced power consumption and increased performance. The storage is just as impressive, coming in at 64GB as standard, much more than many competing devices.

Suffice to say, it didn't feel like a major downgrade. The Honor 10 Lite offered decent day-to-day performance, alongside impressive battery endurance. The camera produces respectable shots for the price point, while the body and design of the phone is attractive, and even feels somewhat...

The sub-brand of Huawei which is known as Honor has outreached well within the Indian smartphone market and the mantra has been quite simple which Honor follows i.e to provide a package of all in one.
Honor 10 Lite is a selfie-centric smartphone with 24-megapixel front camera. The smartphone is powered by a Kirin 710 12nm octa-core chipset. Honor 10 Lite runs Android 9 Pie with EMUI skin on top.
Huawei's sub-brand Honor flooded the smartphone market with multiple offerings last year. The company focussed mainly on the budget segment, with good designs and efficient hardware. We also got the Honor Play, a powerful gaming-centric smartphone aimed at budget-conscious buyers.
The Honor 10 Lite's spec-sheet indicates the smartphone is certainly no slouch, but is it worth your hard-earned money

Short battery life; Plastic build; No gorilla glass protection
While it's still early days, early impression is excellent for a budget handphone. For RM699 plus free and quick delivery (within 2 days), I bought 2 units, with one for the missus.
The budget mid-range segment is a tough one to compete in. While Xiaomi rules the roost, Honor and Realme have been playing hard and fast to close the gap. Honor's first phone for 2019, the Honor 10 Lite , combines great aesthetics with mid-range specs.
Fantastic design Excellent ergonomics Display looks great Very good network performance
Poor camera Outdoor visibility Fingerprint and scratch magnet
