If you are a fan of Huawei, then surely, you must be looking forward to the Mate 30 series expected to launch in Q4 2019. Like the previous Mate series, the Mate 30 series is expected to have a lite version which will launch as the Mate 30 Lite. This lite version has now made its way to TENAA.
The Mate 30 Lite (SPN-AL00 and SPN-TL00) will be packing some pretty big upgrades compared to its predecessor. The display is slightly smaller at 6.26-inches but the resolution stays the same at 2340 x 1080. There are no images yet so we can’t tell what it looks like but the image above which surfaced in June is said to be what the phone looks like. However, it won’t have dual-front facing cameras but a single 32MP sensor.
The back of the Mate 30 Lite will house a quad camera setup which includes a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP secondary camera we believe is an ultra-wide angle lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and another 2MP macro camera. It has a fingerprint scanner and we know it isn’t under the screen since the display is an IPS panel and not AMOLED.
The Mate 30 Lite will be powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core processor. This is most probably the new Kirin 810 and it is paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. The Mate 20 Lite maxes out at 64GB, so this is definitely an upgrade. Even with more storage, Huawei still adds a MicroSD card slot for up to an additional 256GB of space for videos, photos, and files.
The phone also comes with a bigger battery, 3900mAh according to the TENAA listing and with support for fast charging. It will run Android 9 Pie and be available in Magic Night Black and Aurora. Its dimensions are given as 156.1 × 73.9 × 8.3 millimeters while its weight is 178 grams.
It is no surprise that the Mate 30 Lite is showing up early. Its predecessor launched in August 2018 which means the Mate 30 may arrive later this month or next month. Its more powerful siblings – the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro, won’t arrive until October.
