News emanating from Huawei‘s Pollen Club indicates that the Honor 10 Lite has started receiving EMUI 10 open beta update in China. This isn’t an OTA update so it is available to users who registered for the open beta program. The program grants the registered users first-hand access to test the latest EMUI features before they are commercially available. Beta testers are mandatorily required to send feedback in order to help improve the overall outlook of the custom ROM and fix bugs before the stable ROM is released. The open beta testing is usually the last step before the stable ROM is pushed.

The Honor 10 Lite was first released in November last year as a toned-down version of the premium Honor 10. The device features a 6.21-inch IPS LCD Full HD+ display with a screen resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels and 19:9 aspect ratio. The device also has about 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. Under the hood, the device is powered by the company’s own Kirin 710 chipset. The device is available in 4GB+64GB, 6GB+64GB and 6GB+128GB memory combo. Huawei launched a 3GB RAM variant in March this year in India.

EMUI 10 brings a redesigned layout, fluid and snappier animations as well as a refreshed camera application, among others. The new ROM also improves on the Dark mode feature on Android 10.

If you are from a European country and you are a Huawei fan, then you surely know the Huawei P Smart+ (2019), the recently-announced midrange which hitten the European market a few days ago. Well, today Huawei launched a very similar handset in the Chinese market: its name is Huawei Enjoy 9s and it comes with midrange-class specs at a very reasonable price. But will this phone be able to successfully challenge its angry rivals in the same price tag? Among these rivals, there are the best-selling Redmi Note 7 and another Huawei device whose sales may be cannibalized: the Honor 10 Lite. Here, we made a comparison between their main specifications in order to establish which one is the best midrange you can currently get.

Huawei Enjoy 9S vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 vs Huawei Honor 10 Lite

Design

You should not worry so much about the aesthetics as all of these devices feature very beautiful bodies. If I was asked to choose one of them just by looking at the design and materials, I would go for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 because of the strong protection for its display (Gorilla Glass 5) and the water resistance (despite it is not IP-certified). Do not worry about the bezels as all of them come with a very high screen-to-body ratio and a waterdrop notch. And you can also get all of them in stunning gradient hues.

Display

The victory on the display side should go to the Huawei Enjoy 9S as it comes with a panel boasting slightly better parameters, at least on the paper. We are talking about a 6.21-inch screen with a Full HD+ resolution and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 and Honor 10 Lite do not differ so much when it comes to their displays, so it would be better to look at the rest of the specs sheet in order to make a wise choice.

Specs & Software

Just like displays, even when it comes to hardware and performance these handsets are pretty similar. They all come with almost equivalent chipsets: the Kirin 710 on Huawei Enjoy 9S and Honor 10 Lite, and the Snapdragon 660 for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. Honor 10 Lite is the winner of the hardware comparison for a simple reason: it comes in a more powerful memory configuration. Indeed, it boasts up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage which you can furtherly expand with a micro SD card. In each case, you get Android 9 Pie out of the box, customized by a user interface (MIUI for Redmi Note 7 and EMUI for all the Huawei devices).

Camera

Honor 10 Lite loses the camera comparison because of its lower-end rear cameras, but note that it has a better selfie camera with a 24 MP resolution which can provide a very high level of detail paired with pretty nice AI features. Huawei Enjoy 9S is the one I prefer because it has a triple camera setup including an ultrawide sensor which is very useful for today’s photos. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 delivers a stunning photo quality thanks to its 48 MP main sensor found on the rear dual camera setup, so do not underestimate it.

Battery

The battery is definitely the component which makes the difference here. While Huawei Enjoy 9S and Honor 10 Lite have a standard 3400 mAh unit, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 comes with an oversized 4000 mAh battery which makes it last a lot more on a single charge. You can reach up to two days of moderate use with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, while Huawei Enjoy 9S and Honor 10 Lite usually need to be charged before 1.5 days.

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.

Since the Moto G7 series was released a few days ago, we compared each and every model with two of their most important rivals in the actual market, except the Moto G7. Now, it is the turn of the vanilla G7, that we decided to compare with the Asus Zenfone Max M2 and the Honor 10 Lite by Huawei due to their similar specs and price range. This is a comparison regarding midrange phones that you should choose if you want a performing device without spending too much. You will find well-balanced specs, but these devices do not reach the excellence on any side.

Motorola Moto G7 vs Asus Zenfone Max (M2) vs Huawei Honor 10 Lite

Design

If you need the most futuristic, clean and elegant design, go for the Huawei Honor 10 Lite without thinking twice. It is equipped with a stunning reflective glass back that you can choose in gradient hues, with small modules for cameras and very compact size. It even comes with very narrow bezels around the display, as well as the smallest dewdrop notch of the trio. You should instead go for the Motorola Moto G7 if you are seeking the best build quality. First of all, it offers a more solid aluminum frame, as well as a resistant glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 3. Further, it is splash resistant, a very rare thing on midrange and entry-level devices.

Display

The display of the Moto G7 by Motorola should offer something more in terms of image sharpness and brightness thanks to its LTPS technology. On the paper, it looks like a better panel, but not a high-end one. But the differences in the display quality if we compare it to the Asus Zenfone Max M2 and the Huawei Honor 10 Lite will be just marginal. In each case, we are talking about Full HD midrange-class IPS panels that usually do not differ too much.

Specs & Software

If your priority is speed and smoothness in every scenario, grab a unit of the Huawei Honor 10 Lite. You should do that simply because it comes with the most powerful SoC: the Kirin 710. To give you the idea, we can say that it has similar performances to the Snapdragon 660 chipset, which is way superior to the Snapdragon 632 that you can find on the Asus Zenfone Max M2 and Motorola Moto G7. You can even get a variant of the Honor 10 Lite with 6GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, while the most powerful configuration of both Asus Zenfone Max M2 and Moto G7 has just 4/64 GB. But note that Honor 10 Lite is the only to come with a highly-customized user interface, while the others have stock Android. However, Zenfone Max M2 is still based on Oreo unlike its rivals already running Pie.

Camera

Motorola always equipped its midrange phones with incredibly well-optimized cameras, so we have high expectations for the Motorola Moto G7. On the paper, it seems that it will be indeed better with its great pixel size and a secondary depth sensor with a higher resolution. But if you want the best selfies, it will probably not be able to compete with the Honor 10 Lite and its stunning 24 MP front sensor that comes with an f/2.0 focal aperture.

Battery

Asus Zenfone Max M2 was realized with battery life in mind: unlike its opponents, it has an efficient HD+ and there is probably a reason for it: guaranteeing a very long battery life. Further, it has a huge 4000 mAh battery that can provide up to two days of intensive usage on a single charge. Motorola Moto G7 has the smallest battery but it can be charged faster thanks to both its smaller capacity and its 15W fast charging technology. Honor 10 Lite is average.

Price

Despite the bigger battery of the Asus Zenfone Max M2, Honor 10 Lite wins this comparison because of its great design, better performances, good display, and great cameras. You can even get it for less than Moto G7: just €210/$237, while Moto G7 and Asus Zenfone Max M2 cost €250/$282. On the other hand, Asus Zenfone Max M2 has a very high value for money as it costs about €150/$170.

After an infinite amount of leak and rumors, Motorola finally unveiled the Moto G7 series. The most powerful and expensive device of the new line-up is the Moto G7 Plus that comes with midrange-class specs and a not so high price tag. Given the relevance of this handset, we think it is time to compare it with the best concurrency currently available. Two of the most important device in the actual midrange segment are surely the new Redmi Note 7 by Xiaomi and the Honor 10 Lite by Huawei. Does Moto G7 have a higher value for money or it is better to go for these other Chinese companies? Go ahead with this comparison to find out.

Motorola Moto G7 Plus vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 vs Huawei Honor 10 Lite

Design

Motorola Moto G7 Plus does not sport the most catchy and futuristic design, but it comes with very nice build quality. It has glass on both front and back, as well as an aluminum frame just like flagship phones. Further, it is splash resistant. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 comes with even more resistant glasses thanks to the Gorilla Glass 5 protection, but it has a plastic frame making its body a bit less solid. However, the company claims that the phone is water resistant, even though there is not any IP certification to prove it. Honor 10 Lite does not offer so strong materials, so I exclude it from this comparison. It is a hard challenge between Moto G7 Plus and Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, but I would choose the latter because it looks more beautiful thanks to the gradient glass back.

Display

At least on the paper, Motorola Moto G7 Plus seems to be the device with the best display. Its LTPS technology should help to provide a lower power consumption as well as more controlled temperature ranges. Further, Moto G7 Plus has stereo speakers which enhance the multimedia experience. However, it will be not easy to notice the differences between these panels as their specs are very similar and all of them are midrange-class. Even the size is more or less the same.

Specs & Software

If you are an advanced user and you play games or you care about multi-tasking, Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 offers a slightly better processor: the Snapdragon 660 by Qualcomm. If you prefer to have more internal storage, Honor 10 Lite is the only which comes with up to 128 GB of storage that you can furtherly expand with a micro SD card. Moto G7 Plus is inferior to both Honor 10 Lite and Redmi Note 7 due to its good but lower-end SoC.

Camera

Moto G7 Plus and Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 are the best camera phones on the paper and, even though we still did not test them, we believe that Moto G7 Plus will be surprising. The last three generations of “G Plus” devices are all excellent camera phones, even though they do not reach flagships. And we believe that Moto G7 Plus will be able to compete with the stunning 48 MP sensor of the Redmi Note 7 without issues. It may even be better thanks to its brighter aperture, OIS and accurate autofocus. And we think the same about the front camera. But in order to give a definitive verdict, we will have to click some photos.

Battery

We think that in 2019 putting a 3000 mAh battery on a midrange phone as Motorola did with the Moto G7 Plus is not enough unless it was optimized in an excellent way. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 comes with a 4000 mAh battery and not only it wins the comparison, but we can consider it one of the longest lasting last-generation smartphones on a single charge. Honor 10 Lite sits in the middle with its sufficient 3400 mAh unit. On the other hand, note that Moto G7 Plus features a very fast charging technology, so it can be charged in a low amount of time.

Price

Moto G7 Plus will cost about €300/$340, definitely too much for a midrange with Snapdragon 636, unless its cameras will be something extraordinary. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, that is the clear winner of this comparison, was launched for just $150/€132, while Honor 10 Lite costs about €210/$240.

Honor, the sub-brand of Huawei, is all set to launch a new budget smartphone in the European market. The phones, which the company is gearing up to launch, has an internal model number HRY-LX1T, which is the Honor 10i. The phone model has also passed through the EEC certification process.

Currently, there’s no information regarding the specifications of this upcoming smartphone except for the fact that it could be released in the European market very soon and it’ll be a budget device. While the naming suggests that it is the successor to the Honor 9i, it is likely to be a rebranded model of the Honor 10 Lite given that the internal codename of the Honor 10 Lite is HRY-LX1, which is eerily similar to the HRY-LX1T codename used for the Honor 10i.

Coming to the specifications, 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 comes in two variants — 4GB RAM with 64GB of internal storage and 6GB RAM with 128GB of internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot which enables you to further expand the phone’s storage capacity. The device also features a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added protection.

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.

With the new Galaxy M series, Samsung is evidently aiming at recovering on Chinese smartphone manufacturers which literally cannibalized its sales in the midrange and entry-level segment. Samsung Galaxy M20 carries a much better price tag compared to the previous Samsung midrange phones and, thanks to this, it represents a great alternative choice to affordable Chinese mid-rangers. But is it enough to let consumers choose it? We will let you find out through this comparison with two hot Chinese mid-rangers of the moment: Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 and Huawei Honor 10 Lite.

Samsung Galaxy M20 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 vs Huawei Honor 10 Lite

Design

You should not go for the Samsung Galaxy M20 if you are looking for the most attractive design. Instead, I would choose the Honor 10 Lite because it has a cleaner design and a more unique look. First of all, it comes with a very small dewdrop notch. And it even has a stunning glass back available in gradient hues, with a very small surface for cutouts. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 has a lower screen-to-body ratio and I consider it less attractive, but it definitely comes with better build quality. Indeed, it has the Gorilla Glass 5 protection as well as water resistance.

Display

I like slightly more the display of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 because it should be more resistant and it comes with a small notch and a slightly bigger diagonal than Honor 10 Lite. The PLS TFT technology of the Samsung Galaxy M20 does not convince me too much and I prefer IPS displays due to its viewing angles and good brightness. However, do not expect a noticeable difference between these displays. Despite we choose a winner for the display comparison, you should not choose one of these mid-rangers considering the display as one of the most important things.

Specs & Software

The challenge is between the Honor 10 Lite and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 because I define their hardware departments slightly better than Samsung Galaxy M20. While the Kirin 710 chipset offers solid performances in everyday use, Snapdragon 660 is definitely more powerful when it comes to games and graphics apps due to its better GPU. I would personally go for the Honor 10 Lite at least in its most expensive configuration because it comes with up to 128 GB of internal storage. But soon Xiaomi should launch a Pro version of Redmi Note 7 with 128 GB of storage that will be superior. Note that Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 and Honor 10 Lite have Android Pie out of the box, while Galaxy M20 is still based on Oreo.

Camera

Given that it was made official just a few days ago, we still did not try the rear camera of the Samsung Galaxy M20. But we can say that the 48 MP sensor of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is superior on the paper and it should be a lot better in most of the scenarios. The rear department of the Galaxy M20 comes at the second place. Instead, if you are looking for a selfie-centric device, then Honor 10 Lite is the best choice for you thanks to its great 24 MP shooter with AI-backed features.

Battery

Battery life is the strongest point of the Samsung Galaxy M20 which can last more than two days of intensive usage thanks to its 5000 mAh lithium unit. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 remains one of the most incredible phones when it comes to battery life thanks to its 4000 mAh battery, but it does not reach the Galaxy M20. Honor 10 Lite is average.

Price

You can currently get a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 or a Samsung Galaxy M20 in Asia for $150/€130 and €150/$171, respectively, while Honor 10 Lite costs about €210/$240. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 wins the comparison because of its well-balanced specs, very affordable price, good camera capabilities and a great hardware side.

As expected, Honor has today launched the 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 line with our previous report, the Honor 10 Lite will be available for purchase in India exclusively through online marketplace Flipkart and Honor’s official website. In India, the smartphone will be available in three color options –Sapphire Blue, Sky Blue, and Midnight Black.

The 4GB RAM model is priced at Rs. 13,999 which roughly converts to $197 while the top-end model with 6GB RAM is priced at Rs. 17,999 which is approximately $253. The phone will go on sale from 20th January at 12:00 midnight.

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.

If you need a well-balanced midrange smartphone which does not disappoint under any point of view, then the new Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 released after the official separation between Redmi and Xiaomi (Redmi became an independent sub-brand) is the perfect phone for you. But it is not the only one. If you are trying to understand which device is the most suitable for you, then you may like this comparison between the new Redmi Note 7 and the latest Huawei mid-rangers P Smart (2019) and Honor 10 Lite. Three different phones sold at a similar price: which one has the best value for money? Go ahead with the comparison to know it.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 vs Huawei P Smart (2019) vs Huawei Honor 10 Lite

Design

The design is an aspect on which both Huawei and Xiaomi are focusing a lot in the last period. Indeed, all these devices are incredibly beautiful and well-built. Talking about the look, the one I like more is the Honor 10 Lite due to its high screen-to-body ratio and the gradient color variants, but I would prefer Redmi Note 7 due to its more solid build quality. Indeed, according to the company, the rear glass is very resistant and the display also comes with the Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Further, Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is water and dust resistant, even though no IP certification was provided.

Display

No matter which device you buy, you will get more or less the same display quality from these handsets. But Huawei P Smart (2019) should be slightly better in terms of viewing quality because LTPS panels are able to provide a lower power consumption as well as more controlled temperature ranges and a higher contrast. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 has a slightly bigger display (just 0.1 inches), while Huawei P Smart 2019 and Honor 10 Lite have exactly the same display size.

Specs & Software

Just like the displays, even the hardware departments of these handsets do not differ so much. I would prefer the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 because in my opinion, it has a better GPU inside the Snapdragon 660 chipset. Huawei Honor 10 Lite takes the second place with its Kirin 710, while Huawei P Smart 2019 takes the last spot of the ranking because it does not have a variant with 6 GB of RAM, neither 128 GB of internal storage. All the devices come with the latest Android version out of the box (Android Pie), but while Redmi Note 7 has the MIUI 10 to customize it, Huawei P Smart 2019 and Honor 10 Lite have the EMUI 9 installed.

Camera

The best camera side belongs to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. It is equipped with the new Samsung’s sensor sporting a resolution of 48 MP and a secondary 5 MP depth sensor. It provides a stunning detail in photos for a midrange, as well as low levels of noise in low-light conditions. Honor 10 Lite has a great camera too, better than Huawei P Smart 2019, but it is far from its Xiaomi’s rival. But when it comes to the front camera, Honor 10 Lite should be the best with its 24 MP resolution and f/2.0.

Battery

With a 4000 mAh unit, Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 will be able to provide the longest battery life. It should have no problems lasting up to two days on a single charge, while Huawei P Smart 2019 and Honor 10 Lite have just an average battery life: one day with moderate use. Further, Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 has the support to Quick Charge 4.0, while its opponents do not offer any kind of fast charging technology.

Price

Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 debuted in China with a price tag of about $147, Huawei P Smart 2019 costs about €250 in the global market, and Honor 10 Lite was launched with a €210 price tag. I would personally pick Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 not only for the price but also for its great camera and its long lasting battery.

The post Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 vs Huawei P Smart (2019) vs Honor 10 Lite: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

In November, Honor had introduced the Honor 10 Lite smartphone in China. A recent report had claimed that the Honor 10 Lite will be releasing in India by mid-January. A landing page for the smartphone has appeared on Flipkart which indicates that the online retailer will be exclusively selling it in India. The landing page on Flipkart has confirmed that the Honor 10 Lite will be unveiled on Jan. 15.

The Honor 10 Lite is advertising the 24-megapixel selfie camera, Kirin 710 chipset and stylish gradient design as its three main features. Whether there is bright or low light, the Honor 10 Lite can capture enhanced AI driven selfies. It can detect 200 scenarios across 8 modes.

The landing page of the Honor 10 Lite on Flipkart reveals that its Kirin 710 chipset can deliver better performance than phones powered by Snapdragon 636, Snapdragon 660 and Helio P60. The Kirin 710 chipset on the Honor 10 Lite will be assisted by 4 GB of RAM. It will be arriving with an inbuilt storage of 64 GB.

The Honor 10 lite features a TUV Rheinland certified 6.21-inch IPS LCD dewdrop display that offers 91-precent screen-to-body ratio, 19.5:9 aspect ratio and full HD+ resolution. The smartphone will be available in Black, Blue and Sky Blue color gradient options. Other specs of the phone include 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual camera setup, EMUI 9.0 based Android 9 Pie OS and 3,320mAh battery. In China, the 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage edition of the Honor 10 Lite was introduced with a price tag of 1,399 Yuan (~$204; Rs.14,000). There is no information on the pricing of the smartphone for the Indian market.

A couple of months ago, in November, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor launched its Honor 10 Lite smartphone as a watered-down variant of the Honor 10 launched earlier last year and successor to the Honor 9 Lite. Now, the phone is all set to make its debut in India.

According to the reports, the Honor 10 Lite will be launched in the Indian market later this month. While the launch date is not yet known, it is speculated to launch in mid-January.

In China, the Honor 10 Lite is priced at 1,399 Yuan (~$202) for the base model with 4GB RAM + 64GB storage while the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage model costs 1,699 Yuan (~$245). The top-end model of the phone which packs 6GB RAM + 128GB storage is available is priced at 1,899 Yuan (approximately $274).

While the Indian pricing is not yet known, we expect it to be similar to that of the Chinese pricing. Also, it’s not known if the company plans to bring all variants to the Indian market. Currently, the smartphone comes in five color options — Gradient Blue, Gradient Red, Lily Valley White, and Magic Night Black.

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 comes in either 4GB or 6GB RAM, along with 64GB or 128GB internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot which enables you to further expand the phone’s storage capacity. It 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. 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.

Additionally, it 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 a whole day on a single charge.

Yesterday, Lenovo surprised everyone by announcing the first smartphone with Snapdragon 855. Besides the Z5 Pro GT, the Chinese company also announced Lenovo Z5s: one of the cheapest smartphones with Snapdragon 710. Is its value for money high enough to beat Huawei’s concurrency in the midrange segment? Through this comparison between its specifications and the ones of the new Huawei P Smart (2019) and Honor 10 Lite, you will find out.

Lenovo Z5s vs Huawei P Smart (2019) vs Honor 10 Lite

Design

The aesthetic differences between Lenovo Z5s, Huawei P Smart 2019 and Honor 10 Lite are just marginal. Honor 10 Lite is the one I like more because of its cleaner design, but some may prefer Lenovo Z5s because of its more magnetic gradient colors. Whatever you choose, you will get a beautiful device with an awesome glass back. If you want better build quality, you should go for the Lenovo Z5s because it is the only with the Gorilla Glass protection, so it should be more resistant.

Display

Displays are not a key point of these smartphones. They have midrange-class IPS panels. Honor 10 Lite should be the inferior one as it does not feature the LTPS technology, unlike its rivals. Huawei P Smart (2019) is my favorite because it has a smaller notch, but at the same time, it has slightly thicker bezels and, as said above, it does not seem to feature the Gorilla Glass protection, unlike Lenovo Z5s.

Specs & Software

Lenovo Z5s is a champion of performances in its price range. It comes with a Snapdragon 710 chipset which provides way faster and smoother performances than Kirin 710 in every scenario, with a 10 nm production process and a max frequency of 2.2 GHz. It also comes with up to 6 GB of RAM. Huawei P Smart 2019 is the most disappointing one as it only features 3 GB of RAM, while Honor 10 Lite sits in the middle with Kirin 710 and up to 6 GB of RAM.

Camera

If we talk about the rear camera setup, Lenovo Z5s is a superior handset thanks to its triple camera composed of a main 16 MP sensor with f/1.8 aperture, a secondary telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and a third sensor which is able to capture depth info. If we talk about the front camera, Honor 10 Lite should be better with its AI-backed 24 MP snapper. Huawei P Smart (2019) is disappointing on both sides even though its camera quality is sufficient for its price tag.

Battery

Given that Lenovo Z5s is still not on the shelves, we still can not give you info about its battery life, but we believe that, even though it has a slightly smaller battery, it might last more than its opponent because of its well-optimized SoC. Further, it is the only phone of the trio to support a fast charging technology, while Huaei P Smart 2019 and Honor 10 Lite come with standard 5V / 2A charging.

Price

There is no challenge, Lenovo released a device with an outstanding price tag, at least regarding the Chinese market. If it lands in Europe and its price does not raise a lot, Lenovo Z5s may become the best-buy of the moment. It is the winner the comparison and it was launched with a price tag of about €220/$202. Huawei P Smart 2019 costs about €250/$285 in Europe and it is a cool price for a device like this, but Honor 10 Lite costs less despite being a better device than Huawei P Smart (2019), so it takes the second place of this comparison. You can find it for just €240/$274 in Europe. But at the end of the day, I would definitely choose Lenovo Z5s even if it had a sub-€300/$343 price tag.

Oppo just announced another smartphone from its sub-brand: Realme U1. A device which comes with an amazing quality-price ratio and a brand new upper-midrange chipset: the Helio P70. Comparing it with the latest mid-rangers from other Chinese companies is definitely a good way to establish if this device is worth the money asked to get it and if it will succeed. So here we go with a comparison between Realme U1, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, and Honor 10 Lite.

Oppo Realme U1 vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Huawei Honor 10 Lite

Design

Most of the actual Chinese midrange smartphones have many things in common when it comes to aesthetics. They often come with glass backs, notched displays and flagship-like looks even though their price is affordable. In this trio, the most beautiful one, in my opinion, is Honor 10 Lite because of its smaller notch, a very high screen-to-body ratio and its availability in two different gradient color variants.

Display

You should not pay much attention to the display when you are about to choose a midrange smartphone because they always have more or less the same quality. Given the similar display size and viewing quality, it is a draw. Whatever you choose, you will get a phone with a sufficient but not so exciting screen.

Specs & Software

Given that it comes with the latest and most powerful SoC by MediaTek, the new Helio P70, Realme U1 is definitely the most interesting device. Given that Helio P60 was very close to Snapdragon 660 and Kirin 710 in terms of performance, the new Helio P70 should provide better performance than its rivals from Qualcomm and Huawei. But not that there is not a 6 GB RAM version for the Realme U1, while the other two handsets also come in the 6/64 and 6/128 GB configurations. Further, there is to mention that Honor 10 Lite is the only one to come with Android Pie out of the box. And it also features the new GPU Turbo 2.0 technology which guarantees a big performance increase with games.

Camera

If you want a superior rear camera, get the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite (Honor 10 Lite is very close in terms of photo quality). But if you are looking for an amazing selfie camera, go for the Realme U1 as it features one of the best front cameras in the market and it is able to shoot detailed selfies even in low-light conditions. On the other hand, at least on the paper, the rear dual camera of the Realme U1 is disappointing.

Battery

These devices are packed with batteries which have similar capacities, so it is not easy to understand which one will last more on the paper. We will have to test the Realme U1 personally in order to establish if its bigger battery will last more, especially because we never tested the efficiency of the new MediaTek Helio P70 chipset. So, for now, we can not talk about battery life.

Price

Oppo Realme U1 just debuted in India with a listing price starting from €150/$170, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is available globally and it costs about €230/$260, and Honor 10 Lite was launched with a €210/$240 price tag. On the paper, Realme U1 is the most convincing one, but in order to give a definitive opinion, we have to test it on our own to evaluate the performance of the new Helio P70 chipset, the camera quality, and the battery life.

Huawei releases so many midrange phones in a year that it is impossible to remember how much Huawei devices hit the market, especially when the company decides to change the names of its handsets depending on the country. And most of the times there are not even huge differences between each of them. That is why it is very hard to choose a phone among budget-friendly devices from Huawei. Today, we are here to compare the new Honor 10 Lite with the recent Huawei P Smart+, also known as Huawei Nova 3i in China, and Honor 8X (or Honor View 10 Lite in Europe).

Honor 10 Lite vs Huawei P Smart+ vs Honor 8X

Design

Huawei midrange phones always have an attractive design and each of these three devices is very beautiful. The main evolutions of this year in terms of design were gradient color variants and the dimensions of the notch, which made mid-rangers even more impressive when it comes to the aesthetics. I would personally pick Honor 10 Lite because it is available in two gradient colors (unlike Honor 8X) and it has a smaller notch than Huawei P Smart+.

Display

The quality of displays of each of these phones is very similar to each other. The only noticeable difference between them is the display size. Honor 8X is definitely more interesting because it has the bigger display and just a limited amount of devices reach its display diagonal. That is why I would choose its display.

Specs & Software

The hardware components of these devices, as well as the software, are exactly the same, except for three differences. The first two ones are the absence of the most powerful memory configuration (6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage) for the Huawei P Smart+ and the presence of a micro SD dedicated slot on the Honor 8X only. Regarding the software, Honor 10 Lite comes with EMUI 9 based on Android Pie out of the box and GPU Turbo 2.0 technology, while the other twos are still based on Android Oreo. So, Honor 10 Lite is the best alternative.

Camera

If you are looking for the best rear camera department, Honor 8X has the best one with a 20 MP primary wide angle lens, a 2 MP depth sensor and a bright f/1.8 aperture. Honor 10 Lite has a better front camera than Honor 8X, but the dual front camera of Huawei P Smart+ is the best one as it can capture depth info better.

Battery

Given that it is the biggest handset, inside the Honor 8X there is also more space for a big battery. Indeed it has a 3750 mAh unit that is able to last consistently more than Honor 10 Lite and Huawei P Smart+.

Price

Honor 10 Lite just hitten the Chinese market with a €210 price tag, but we still do not know how much it will cost in Europe. Honor 8X and Huawei P Smart+ can be found at about €250. Given the marginal differences between price and specs of these devices, I would choose Honor 8X because of its bigger display, bigger battery, and its micro SD dedicated slot.

Last week, at a launch event in China, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor launched its latest smartphone — Honor 10 Lite aka Honor 10 Youth Edition. As the name suggests, the phone is a toned-down variant of the company’s Honor 10 smartphone.

While the phone was launched last week, it will now be available for purchase in China from tomorrow, i.e. 27th November through leading Chinese online retailers. As for the pricing, the base model with 4GB RAM costs 1,399 Yuan (~$202) while the 6GB RAM model with 64GB storage costs 1,699 Yuan (approx. $245).

The top-end model with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage is priced at 1,899 Yuan (approximately $274). The Honor 10 Lite was announced in four color options — Gradient Red, Gradient Blue, Magic Night Black, and Lily Valley White.

Coming to the specifications, 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.

Huawei‘s HiSilicon Kirin 710’s single-core performance is said to be 75% higher than that of the Kirin 659 while for multi-core performance, it offers a 68% increase in performance. It comes in either 4GB or 6GB of RAM, along with 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot which enables you to further expand the phone’s storage capacity.

In terms of optics, the Honor 10 Lite 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 microUSB 2.0. The phone runs Android 9 Pie operating system out of the box with the company’s own custom interface EMUI 9 on top. It also comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added security.

Huawei just unveiled the Honor 10 Lite and Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro has finally hitten Indian shelves. A new generation of affordable midrange smartphones is finally among us. Another quality-price ratio champion in the Indian market is definitely the Realme 2 Pro from Oppo’s sub-brand, and here we compared them to establish which one has the highest value for money.

Huawei Honor 10 Lite vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro vs Oppo Realme 2 Pro

Design

Huawei Honor 10 Lite is one of the most beautiful and attractive phones thanks to its futuristic and flagship-like design. It has a wonderful glass back available in gradient color variants, as well as a very high screen-to-body ratio thanks to a narrow chin and a waterdrop notch. Oppo Realme 2 Pro is beautiful too, but it is made of polycarbonate, unlike the Honor 10 Lite. Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro has a full metal body which is all but stunning at a first glance.

Display

All average IPS panels, they have nothing special and just an average viewing quality. So do not choose the best smartphone for you by basing on the display. We can just tell you that Honor 10 Lite and Oppo Realme 2 Pro have narrower bezels and smaller notches, so you may like them more.

Specs & Software

Oppo Realme 2 Pro is the phone which performs better thanks to its more powerful Snapdragon 660 chipset. It is a better SoC especially for gaming, and it is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage on the Realme 2 Pro, while Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and Honor 10 Lite offer max 6 GB of RAM. Honor 10 Lite is customized by the EMUI based on Android Pie, while Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and Realme 2 Pro have MIUI and Color OS based on Android Oreo.

Camera

The dual rear cameras of these handsets are more or less at the same levels with bright apertures and a decent level of detail even when light conditions are not the best. The front camera of Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro makes the difference if you love selfies as it is paired with a secondary depth sensor. But overall, it is a draw.

Battery

Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is much better than Realme 2 Pro and Honor 10 Lite when it comes to battery life because it has a much bigger lithium unit with a 4000 mAh capacity. Further, its Snapdragon 636 is a very efficient SoC and it is optimized in an excellent way.

Price

There is not a clear winner of this comparison and each of these devices is very close to each other. I would personally pick Oppo Realme 2 Pro due to its better performance, but if you want more battery life go for the Redmi Note 6 Pro, while if you are looking for the best design choose Honor 10 Lite. While Honor 10 Lite and Realme 2 Pro start from about €175/$200 in China,  Redmi Note 6 Pro costs about €190/$216.

If you are not interested in the most important innovations brought by the latest flagships but you just want an excellent smartphone which is more than sufficient under every point of view, then the Lite variants of some Chinese flagships may be the perfect phones for your needs. Here is a comparison between Honor 10 Lite, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Huawei Mate 20 Lite, the latest Lite phones which offer a satisfying experience at a very attractive price.

Huawei Honor 10 Lite vs Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite vs Huawei Mate 20 Lite

Design

The phone with the most modern and futuristic design is the Honor 10 Lite. Thanks to its waterdrop notch it has the less visible bezels, it sports a very elegant glass back and you can even get it in two different gradient color variants. I like Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite but not as much as Honor 10 Lite because of its bigger notch. Huawei Mate 20 Lite’s notch is even bigger and its backside is sober but nothing special in terms of look.

Display

Whatever you choose, you will get more or less the same quality for the display. All of these handsets feature a classic IPS panel with a Full HD+ resolution, a sufficient color reproduction, and an average brightness. Huawei Mate 20 Lite is slightly better than its opponents thanks to its additional LTPS technology which usually makes brightness or viewing angles better.

Specs & Software

Talking about performance, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is the most convincing one because it has a slightly better SoC: the octa-core Snapdragon 660 chipset by Qualcomm. The difference between this chipset and the Kirin 710 is more evident when it comes to graphics performance, so especially gaming, because of the more powerful GPU of the Snapdragon 660. But note that Honor 10 Lite is the only one to come with Android Pie out of the box, while its opponents are still based on Oreo.

Camera

Huawei Mate 20 Lite offers more impressive camera performances with its wide angle main camera which is also equipped with a depth sensor doing its job well. It captures an astonishing level of detail when light conditions are good, and it even has a dual front camera with a wide angle lens and a depth sensor. So, even when it comes to selfies, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is able to click better shots.

Battery

At last, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is better even on the battery side. It can last more on a single charge thanks to its bigger 3750 mAh unit. Honor 10 Lite is the most disappointing one as its battery has just 3000 mAh of capacity and it does not even feature a fast charging technology.

Price

Thanks to its better camera and battery, Huawei Mate 20 Lite is the superior device in this trio, but it also costs more. At the moment you have to spend more or less €300/$341 to get it, while Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite (second place for it) costs less than €240/$273 globally and Honor 10 Lite costs €175/$199 in China (it is still not in the global market).

The Chinese manufacturer has reportedly partnered with U.S. based skateboarding and clothing brand Supreme for the special version of the Honor 10 Lite. The handset will be featuring a red-colored rear panel with a large-sized “Sup” written on it. Probably, it could be featuring the same specs as the regular Honor 10 Lite.

The Honor 10 Lite is scheduled for a November 21 release and will bring the total number of Honor 10 phones to three ( including the Honor 10, Honor 10 GT). Ahead of its release, the device has been spotted on TENAA (images only). Another leak has also surfaced that reveals there will be a special edition called the Honor 10 Lite Supreme.

The TENAA listings are for three different variants with model numbers HRY-AL00a, HRY-AL00, and HRY-TL00. All three have the same design save for their colors. The AL00a and TL00 models are black while the AL00 version has a chrome red finish.

The Honor Lite will have dual rear cameras arranged vertically and with a separate housing. Below the sensors is a LED flash and in the middle of the phone sits a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The power button and the volume rocker are on the right side of the phone.

In a new announcement made by Honor on official Weibo Handle, revealed that Honor 10 Lite edition would be made official on November 21st in Beijing, China. It’s another variant of Honor 10 which was launched earlier this year. There was speculation that Honor might announce Honor 10 Lite or 10i version, but now it is clear that they are going to launch Honor 10 Lite edition. It seems Honor wants to compete against Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite version which was launched last month with high-end specs.

As per the reports and rumors, it is believed that Honor 10 Lite edition will carry Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC. It will feature gradient color design as like of Xioami’s Mi 8 Lite. It will host dual rear camera and a fingerprint sensor on the back. Other specs and details have not been confirmed until now. We expect some more teasers before launch which will give us an overview of the device.

Honor has tied up with Chinese pop singer Zhu Zhengting as the Honor mobile’s Lite brand ambassador. He’s a pop singer and film actor in China born in 1996. Honor is not new in working with big stars, they have already worked with Zhao Liying, Hu Ge, Sun Yang, Bai Yu, and other public figures.

It is expected to be priced between 1000-2000 Yuan which is somewhat similar to the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite edition. It will be out in multiple RAM and storage variants and will run Android Oreo out of the box.

Although, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite carries a 6.26-inch Full HD+ notched display with 1080×2280 pixels resolution and 19:9 aspect ratio. Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC powers it with Adreno 512 GPU. There’s a dual shooter of 12 megapixel+ 5 megapixel on the back while a 24-megapixel sensor sits on the front.

As far as the specs are concerned, then Honor 10 Lite appears to be in better position than the Mi 8 Lite. Still, we have to wait for the official announcement before we compare it with each other.

The post Honor 10 Lite edition will be annnounced on November 21 in Beijing appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor has a new phone coming and it just released a teaser poster for it. The image was shared on its Weibo page and from the text on it, the phone will belong to the Honor 10 series.

There are rumors the phone is the Honor 10 Lite which makes sense since the Honor 9 Lite was released in December 2017 and is already due for an upgrade. There are also others that are of the opinion that the phone is the Honor 10i but seeing as the Honor 9i was released back in July, it might be a bit early for a successor.

The image also shows the silhouette of a new brand ambassador which some have guessed to be Zhu Zhengting, a Chinese singer who also models and is an actor.

The Honor 10 Lite or Honor 10i will come with at least dual rear cameras, an 18:9 display or similar and the new Kirin 710 processor. It will likely run Android Oreo out of the box and be available in multiple RAM and storage variants.

The post New poster teases launch of a new Honor phone, probably Honor 10 Lite or Honor 10i appeared first on Gizmochina.

A new Honor smartphone has been spotted at TENAA. The phone’s model number is ARE-AL00 and there are rumors it may be the Honor 8X or the Honor 8S. Seeing as the Honor 7S was just released three months ago, we don’t think a successor is already in development so chances are this is the Honor 8X or even a totally different phone.

The specs are not yet available on TENAA but a bunch of images gives us a look at the design.

The Honor ARE-AL00 has a notch but it is different from that of the Honor Play, Honor 10 and Honor 9N/9i. The notch is shaped like a small valley or water droplet and is home to the front-facing camera. It looks like the Waterdrop screen of the OPPO F9/F9 Pro but is slightly bigger and has steeper “sides”. The phone also has a bit of bezel below the display which has the manufacturer’s name engraved on it.

On its back, the Honor ARE-AL00 has vertically arranged dual cameras positioned at the far left. There is “Dual Lens” engraved below the LED flash and a fingerprint scanner sits in the middle of the device. The back looks glossy and appears to be made of glass which is not a material Honor uses for the affordable X-series. The phone has its power button and volume rocker on the right while the left is home to the SIM tray.

The Honor ARE-AL00 has also been 3C certified and the document says it has support for 18W fast charging. We still don’t know what it will launch as yet. While the Honor 8X seems right, it may also be the Honor 10 Lite/Youth Edition. If it is any of these two devices, then we expect it to come with a Kirin 710 chipset.

If you are familiar with Honor’s product lineup, then you should know that Honor’s first flagship for the year usually gets a Lite version. A new device with model number Honor LLD-AL20 may just be the Honor 10 Lite we’ve been expecting.

The model number is similar to that of the Honor 9 Lite (LLD-AL10, LLD-TL10) with the only difference being the figure “2”. TENAA has also not included pictures, so we can’t further confirm if it has the same design as the Honor 10.

The Honor LLD-AL20 has a 5.84-inch screen with a 2280 x 1080 display. That resolution means the device also has a notch in its display and will have a 19:9 aspect ratio.

It is powered by a 2.36GHz octa-core processor which is none other than the Kirin 659. It has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage which can be expanded by up to an extra 256GB via a MicroSD card slot. The Honor device will come with dual rear cameras – a 13MP sensor paired with a 2MP sensor for capturing depth of field details. The front camera is a 16MP sensor.

It runs Android 8.0 Oreo, has a fingerprint scanner, and a 2,900mAh battery. Its dimensions are given as 149.2 × 71.8 × 7.7 mm and its weight is 152g. When it launches, it will come in Black, gray, and Blue.
