Huawei P20 Lite

Advantages: Pros and cons consider technical.
So, what is there:
-Full set of wireless interfaces, except for the infrared port. Some manufacturers are often greedy NFC or something else, even in phones around 300 dollars.
-Fast shell.
- Good in terms of colors IPS-matrix.
-Very fast fingerprint scanner and face scanner.
- Hardware bokeh effect on the main camera module.
- Outstanding network reception.
-More mashav functions in native firmware: adjust the color temperature, whistler for headphones, the ability to remove the bangs, the ability to choose how to present applications (classic menu / on desktops).
-Several interesting original features: split-screen, duplicate applications (for different accounts on Facebook at a time, for example), cloning of another smartphone (read, backup with one button).
-Sound speaker and headphones with a claim to quality: everything is OK in the speaker, the bass is slightly present, in the headphones the relics are above the roof, 35-40 ohms picks up easily and naturally, but the sound is slightly strangled at medium-high.
-The battery charges at the speed of light with Quick Charge.
-Not heated even when charging with Quick Charge and simultaneous operation.
-USB Type-C, but ...

Disadvantages: What is not here:
-The camera is just not so good: soapy, noisy, there is no stabilization, there are still norms with a tripod, but it's sad with hands, the luminosity level of bread.
-In games, more seriously dry merges today's bestsellers in the face of a shovel-ZenFon and shovels-Redmi Note 5.
Expected to be hypersensitive to damage.
-USB here version 2.0, so that the speed of the thunderbolt can not wait, and some mothers (motherboard) for USB 3.0 will not determine the phone in principle.
-Matrix, though beautiful, but slowed down (one way or another) and this is noticeable when scrolling the contrasting text.
- Charges vigorously, under load it is also discharged quite vigorously.

Comment: It is comprehensively very beautiful, very pleasant, with a smartly designed bangs smartphone.The shell is pretty well assembled, everything is in its place, beautifully, quickly, organically, native applications do not want to be angrily thrown out by means of the life-giving root, a good hub and wallpaper, and so much more that can be attributed to user experience. A lot of things can come from what is needed by everyone and a lot of things cannot come from what is also needed by everyone. In short, the tube for the soul. If you want yourself awesomely beautiful and friendly smartphone with some limitations, then this is your choice.

Advantages: - Memory. It fits perfectly with the memory card perfectly with native 64Gb and 32 Gb memory.
- Screen. Clear. Bright, especially in the sun in automatic mode.

Comment: Impressions of the model simply can not be described. True.
I took a blue color, and it shimmers in the sun. (It really looks beautiful)
After Nokia Lumia 1320 and its Windows Phone 8.1, I am very glad that I have a new phone: no overheating, no worries, no applications are supported. Everything looks very cool, though I don’t really like Android.
If you need a phone with a beautiful design, a beautiful shell and fast charging with a budget price segmentation, this is your phone.

In addition: photos taken on this model in night modes and experiments.

Advantages: Pleasant on tactile sensations screen, did not glue the film, took the book's native cover (you can click tracks and answer calls from it),
NFC, AptxHD, juicy screen, very fast and accurate fingerprint scanner, FaceID worker, 64GB of memory, not really clogged with branded shit shell, the screen, though stated as 5.84, sits nicely in your hand, doesn’t look like a shovel, ordinary applications do not warm it and for me - 3.5 minijack

Disadvantages: The sound in the headphones has become quieter than on the old phone. p20 \ p20pro receive increased attention from the developers, the light version will always get everything later, a mediocre speaker, someone will not like the battery.

Comment: For my money, he has a completely justified stuffing - yes, the usual is not the brightest percent and video, but a mediocre average camera with noise on night photos .. But, I'm not a photographer and I don’t play on the phone - the availability of NFC has become for me heavenly, it has become more convenient to pay , the top three recognizes the pictures in the afternoon is quite decent quality.The ears have become quieter - but for me they come with resistance of 40+ ohms ... I think it will be better for lower impedances. Availability Aptx HD !! - hints at wireless ears, in which your DAC and with the sound of misfortune will not, it is for them that I set. Personally, I have enough batteries - I do not play, I only listen to music, read mail and messengers, when I come home I stay around 50%, for a full day, if you play an hour and walk around and have enough music, you can hide the system icon (darkens areas sideways leaving notifications on them) Creates the feeling of having the screen exactly below it while not losing space due to notifications. In the hand sits perfectly, does not look shovel
For a more awesome camera, you can go to the older models or for the same money there is an Iphone SE where the camera is good, but the screen is very small for me personally and IOS is not mine ..
In general, the phone costs its money .. maybe it will soon become even cheaper, the scanner reacts quickly and quickly, it recognizes the right way, there is enough battery if you are not a gamer.
For those who like to play - you need to pre-order Honor Play
Older models do not have a minijack for headphones, which for me personally is a minus.

Advantages: Impressive appearance, good screen, quite good, quite loud speaker sound.
Face and fingerprint recognition (both work fine).
NFC is present. USB type C, fast charging QC-2. Light, thin.
"Eyebrow" also refer to the pluses.
4G CAT6 (!).
Dual microphone (top and bottom).
The best camera for selfie. Excellent basic.
Dual band wifi.
Bluetooth with support for aptX and aptX HD.

Disadvantages: There is no possibility to record conversations without a third-party application.
No search in contacts.
Very hard charging wire, as if inside a wire.

Comment: Face recognition works fine. It is not necessary to stretch your hand in front of you like with a selfie. One has only to get the smartphone out of a pocket at belt level, look at the screen and op! - unlocked. At the same time, small nishtyaki are added, for example, when answering a call immediately after face recognition, the volume of the call decreases, a trifle decreases, and it is attracted. "Recognizes" both with glasses and without.
NFC works without problems - checked. Enjoy conveniently.
The “eyebrow” is a normal thing, even an excellent one! If annoying - set the desktop picture with a predominance of dark tones.
I have not noticed any “brakes” either during the auto-rotate of the screen or when launching applications, there are no “delays in the animation”.
Convenient chip "fast photo". On a locked smartphone, double-click on "volume -".
The presence of a magnetic compass significantly improves the operation of the navigator.
You can print documents on wi-fi directly from your smartphone if the printer is on the network.
Before buying, I paid special attention to the speed of the smartphone in 4G networks. I read about the standards that our operators use and what the connection speed depends on. So, in short, the Huawei P20 Lite - 4G CAT6, which is sooo not bad.

I bought an Huawei AP007 external battery with a capacity of 13000 mA * h (or Huawei CP07 6700 mA * h or Huawei CM51 Bluetooth speaker) from the officers to the smartphone itself as a gift + a monopod for selfie Honor AF11.
Silicone case is included.

Warning: do not use magnetic holder!

Advantages: Great screen, cameras, NFC module, fingerprint scanner (instantly triggered), 64 GB of internal memory, 4 GB of RAM, EMUI inner shell with a lot of all kinds of chips you can talk about for a long time, android 8.0 out of the box, type-c connector and fast function charging, and of course the design of the device!

Disadvantages: Not yet revealed. Well, except that, instead of the poor headphones that come with the phone, you could put a bumper. Although this is not a lack of apparatus, but rather a lack of completeness, the omission of huawei.

Comment: I purchased this unit a little less than a week ago, and I am still very pleased, I didn’t regret a bit that I chose it when choosing. The phone looks very stylish, the body without backlash, does not creak, is made of pleasant-to-touch materials With a fairly large screen 5'58 the phone itself does not look like a shovel.
The phone is very smart OSes flying, applications load almost instantly, switching between them happens very quickly. Before buying, I read a lot of reviews, in which some people unflatteringly spoke about the EMUI shell, was afraid that I would not like it, would not work, but when I started using this phone all fears have vanished, as this is the best shell so far from what I have seen (for android). There are all kinds of chips in it, like for example: face recognition (it works very quickly, even in conditions of insufficient visibility and); eye protection mode; color temperature adjustment; the mode of setting the sound in the headphones and much more.
The front camera is great, it makes bomb shots! The main module is also not worse, there are noises in the dark, but with good lighting you get very cool photos. For cameras, there is a lot of settings (pro mode), due to the dual main module, you can make a bokeh effect.
The sound is decent, there is a lack of low frequencies, but one speaker is quite enough in everyday life (for calls, notifications, etc.). In headphones, the sound is good (just not for those that come with it), you can adjust the equalizer for yourself.
The network keeps excellent, 4G signal sure.
The battery is pretty good, but it could have been better. After the first charge up to 100%, the first 2.5 hours did not let the phone out of my hands, downloaded applications over the mobile network, listened to music in the VC, turned the pages on the Internet, ran various attachments, during this time the phone sat down only 10%, then with moderate use (calls, internet, light applications) lived a day and a half, than I basically satisfied.
The phone is great and worth the money!

Advantages: Screen, NFC, fingerprint, face recognition (very fast, instantly triggered), sufficient RAM and flash capacity, battery, many settings, good cameras, fast charging, ergonomics, tactile sensations, dimensions .... You can list a lot ... The device turned out to be a hit, in this price category there are no competitors and there will not be for a long time.

Disadvantages: For this price category, taking into account everything that is present in it, they are not

Comment: For a month now I have been using it. Everyone is happy, before that he used NTS devices from M7 to X9. I decided to change the horse and do not regret it.
Bought a little more than 17 thousand.
Anyone who is offended by the battery, I simply recommend not to install all kinds of sweepers (copes well with their own) and antiviruses, and also disable a lot of notifications (in the settings it is). And the device with normal use will live a day, and in standby mode up to a week (checked).
Cameras. separate topic. They are good, really good, even in auto mode. If someone buys a phone to take professional photos, then it is better to buy a professional photo appr. Megapixels do not solve the problem, nobody has canceled the luminosity (good lens).

Advantages: So, I have been using P20 Lite for about a week now and I can say that I am satisfied. It satisfies all the criteria that I presented to my new phone (they can be seen in the commentary on the review). But, probably, it is still too early to single out specific merits because little time has passed since the acquisition. However, I will highlight some:
- availability of NFC;
- A wonderful fingerprint scanner. Reads in a split second, seriously. Very sensitive;
- the presence of any funny features in the kind of unlocking on the face scan, "smart" notifications that hide if the phone does not recognize the owner, etc. So it turned out that I am a fan of such things. Not because I'm afraid that someone left will read my messages or use the phone. I'm interested in these technologies. Just nice that they are. Considering that the cost of the phone is up to 20 thousand.
- excellent front camera. Although I'm not a fan of selfie, but the camera was pleased. I read that it does not suit someone. I think it just needs to be configured. And so I liked everything.
- screen.Juicy, bright, nice looking. It is convenient to read books from it. I didn’t ripen to buy an e-book, so I’m reading from my phone. No discomfort when reading. At first I was confused by the diagonal 5.84 ”. Resigned, that now I will walk with a shovel. The reality did not agree with the expectations. As it turned out, the phone is not very big, but long. Compact is a good word for describing the P20 Lite.
- OS update allows you to hide the “curb”. Caring for those whom she does not like. Not bad. And, well, miniature notification icons are displayed on it and do not take up too much space on the viewing area of ​​the screen.
- speed. When surfing on social networks and on the Internet, I didn’t experience any inconvenience, just like in normal everyday use - I set the alarm clock, called, wrote SMS, etc. Everything is smooth, fast and pleasant.

Disadvantages: Again, I doubt that I can now review everything, because I use the phone not so long.
- Battery capacity. She is small. You can set up applications in the background and listen to a smart OS that will inform you about applications that consume a lot of energy, but the effect of all this is not so good. The capacity of the battery will remain the same. It is also noteworthy that when ordering from the official site, the manufacturer seems to compensate for the small capacity of the battery with the help of powerbank as a gift.
- the camera. The camera here is NOT bad, but satisfactory. I have nothing against her, but, in my humble opinion, it is slightly worse than the Xiaomi A1. The truth is that in P20 Lite I like the color rendition better. I, in principle, did not expect a top-end camera from this phone. If you want to shoot cool, better buy a camera. Yes, you can take good pictures from this phone, but you have to try. For example, I have not yet ripened to the camera, as well as to the e-book, so I prefer to stop the camera settings on the phone and correct the curvature of hands: ^)
- design. He is not original. P20 looks five plus, but there is no uniqueness. This is not a disadvantage as such, because the phone is pleasant to the touch, and it is a pleasure to hold it in your hands. However, whatever one may say, there is a clear similarity with the newest Iphone X.
- as for lags and suspensions ... There was a single moment with the network, but I sense my operator is to blame, not the phone. I switched from MTS to Tele2 and at some point the phone refused to look for a mobile network. I waited, rebooted, everything went and now it works fine.
- slippery infection. I still haven't removed the back tape, for I'm afraid. Suddenly scribble. Suddenly slip out of my hands. It would be better in the kit instead of headphones went transparent case.

Comment: Having grieved over the death of my Xiaomi Mi5, having traveled around different SC about a week to finally find out the reasons for his death, I finally decided - I need a replacement phone. Began to select for such a number of criteria: a) the presence of NFC; b) the presence of a fingerprint scanner (this is my personal irrational bzik. I know that it is in most modern phones); c) a decent camera; d) speed; e) screen; e) budget up to 20 thousand.
In general, at first I looked closer at Xiaomi A1, as I had the opportunity to get to know him better - I bought a present for my sister as a birthday present and before he came, the phone meekly waited in the wings in my drawer. Impressions remained pleasant. Not only the lack of NFC. Unfortunately, for me personally, it was a big minus, which continued the search.
Then caught on Huawei. Originally wanted to take Honor 9 Lite. And then I saw on their website advertising new P20 models. Became interesting. It is so interesting that after some thought I ordered the P20 Lite on the day the sales started. He also had a corporate powerbank and a tripod. And I was in the budget. Pleasant.
The verdict is: if you are looking for a phone for the Internet, social networks and other things, do not play heavy games, want pictures that are not excellent, but of good quality, and are also sometimes ready to carry a small capacity with you, just in case you. I do not play games on the phone. At all.Therefore, it doesn’t hurt me much, for example, the inaccuracy of the processor, but they are pleased with fashionable things like face recognition. As for the processor, its power is enough to meet my requirements. And I need to be in touch, spend time on the Internet, be able to make fotochki and read books without discomfort. The price is proportional to quality, especially if you need a phone for the same functions as me. I would be glad if my review will help someone.

Advantages: The last two weeks I have been concerned about finding a frameless phone with the nfc function. The presence of a super-camera or a top-end processor was not important for me, the main thing is that with a small size of the phone, the efficiency of its working surface was maximum, and that there were basic modern functions.
What just did not look and did not compare: lg g6, samsung a8, oneplus 5t, nokia 7+, mi mix2, etc ... Everything in the region of 28-32 tyr. Everything seems to be quite good, but as you read the reviews, you climb into the reviews, you don’t like something here, you don’t want to be there.
Accidentally going to the store, I saw a P20 with the word "novelty." I held it up, I looked drowsy - I liked everything very much, but I pushed the price tag of 44k instantly. But the benefit of the consultant suggested that there are also P20 lite, which by the time of my arrival everything was already dismantled. I went to another place, and for 20k I found it in stock.
On the phone: I do not know what else is needed for this money, it is very good. Pleased with the presence of the face sensor: it works quickly and clearly. For four days, never failed. The finger sensor works instantly. The screen is super, despite the fact that the size of the phone allows you to use it with one hand, which was important for me. Finally, everything is thought out: the volume keys as well as the on / off button are on the right, there is 3.5 jack, there is a radio, android 8.0, there is a slot for a flash card, its memory is 64GB, a selfie camera on top, a speaker on the bottom, and not on the rear panel (decent external sound); Also, with the external minimalist view of the speaker for a conversation - the interlocutor is heard perfectly! I paid attention to such things when choosing a phone, although they were not decisive and constantly did not suit something in other models, a fly in the ointment always calmed my thoughts ...

Disadvantages: The only disadvantages for me are: 1. protruding rear cameras (not critical, since they will drown with a case and may not be exposed). 2. I do not know about water protection, but it is clearly not top, but most likely it is completely absent. 3. The battery for 4, for a day without games, with the account of active use, will end. And after a year or two, it is clearly not necessary to rely on much (by the way, the store gave a gift bank for 6700 mAh as a gift).
I add: the native alarm clock works as it is not clear: the volume is strange and there are few settings. I downloaded the application - it works as it should. A couple of times the applications crashed and 1 time went into flight mode. Well, android is such an android ...

Comment: I am sure that many “experts” of the phones will most likely be dissatisfied not with a top processor, 4GB of opera, and not 6, with a camera for 4k, without a pile of chips (by the way, a selfie camera for 5k!) This money, with the functions that you get, is still a very decent machine. By the way, there is an unobtrusive indicator of events, which is nice. I didn’t regret a gram, I am glad that I stumbled upon it, not even suspecting that on this day it was first sold in Russia.
I was looking for a phone with a set of basic functions, with a good screen, at the corresponding price. Yes, and you read it, because you are also looking for a decent model for hard-earned pieces of paper, and if you are not a wild fan of photos, or watch games at maximum speed, then I am sure you will also be satisfied with this device. And personally, I didn’t see the point of overpaying 2.4 times for P20. For the sake of the processor (I don’t play games), perhaps a bit better cameras, and more memory .... For my money, for a standard P20 Lite user, I consider it a bargain. Let's see how to behave further ... Perhaps, I will add if important information appears. I never wrote reviews, but suddenly someone like me suffers from a choice, and then I took it and helped.
