14 DAY TRIAL // Huawei announced two premium smartphones during MWC 2017, the P10 and P10 Plus. However, Huawei was also working on a third phone in the series, the P10 Lite. The phone was listed at retailers in Portugal and Italy, and it’s already available for pre-order in the UK.
Huawei P10 Lite can be pre-ordered from Vodafone, EE and Carphone Warehouse starting today, while the phone should ship on March 31. The device carries a price tag of £299 ($370), cheaper than the £549 ($677) Huawei P10 and £649 ($800) for the P10 Plus.
EE is offering the smartphone in the Graphite Black color variant, but it comes in multiple other colors including Pearl White, Platinum Gold and Sapphire Blue, which will appear at a later date. The phone can be purchased for £30.99 per month for 24 months and £0 upfront.
4GB of RAM and 3,000mAh battery
The P10 Lite features a 2.5D double-sided glass design with a 5.2-inch Full HD display and runs Kirin 655 chipset with 16nm octa-core CPU. The smartphone comes with 4GB of RAM and draws power from a 3,000mAh battery with 18W fast-charge technology, capable of providing a full charge in 90 minutes.
Rear camera capacity reaches 12MP with 1.25μm single pixel sensor and f/2.0 aperture, but it’s not Leica branded like on the other two P10 smartphones. The P10 Lite runs Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 5.1 on top and has 32GB of internal memory, with the option to add 128GB by using a microSD card. It weighs in at 146 grams and measures 146.5 x 72 x 7.2 mm.
Huawei P10 Lite is also available in the Netherlands, Italy and Portugal, for the price of €349 for the unlocked and SIM-free version. The device is expected to ship at the end of the month, when it will hit shelves in multiple European countries.
