A couple of months ago, Honor had launched its Honor 10 Lite smartphone in the Indian market. The phone was first launched in China last year as a toned-down variant of the Honor 10 and successor to the Honor 9 Lite.
In India, the phone was launched in two variants — 4GB RAM and 6GB RAM. Now, the company has launched the 3GB RAM model as well. It is priced at Rs. 11,999 (approximately $175) and will come in two color options — Midnight Black and a Sapphire Blue.
The Honor 10 Lite features a 6.21-inch IPS LCD Full HD+ display with screen resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels and 19:9 aspect ratio and about 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. Under the hood, the device is powered by the company’s own Kirin 710 chipset. It is Huawei’s first 12nm chipset that is claimed to offer significant improvement in power consumption and performance compared to the 16nm Kirin 659.
The phone was already available in two variants — 4GB RAM with 64GB of internal storage and 6GB RAM with 128GB of internal storage. The new third variant packs 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot which enables you to further expand the phone’s storage capacity.
Honor 10 Lite also features a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added protection. For photography, the device comes equipped with a dual camera setup on the back, featuring a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor stacked vertically.
It has several AI-based features, including scene recognition, partition optimization, among others. There’s also a 24-megapixel front camera with artificial intelligence technology. Connectivity options on the device include Dual SIM, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Bluetooth v5.0 LE, and micro-USB 2.0 port.
The phone runs Android 9 Pie operating system out of the box with the company’s own custom interface EMUI 9 on top. Honor says that the company has made changes in the operating system to make it more suitable to the Indian users. It also comes with the HiVision feature which is similar to Google Lens.
The Honor 10 Lite also comes with GPU Turbo technology that enhances GPU performance significantly by increasing graphics processing efficiency up to 60 percent. The device is powered by a 3,400mAh battery which should be enough to last through the entire day on a single charge.
