Huawei officially launched the P10 Lite in Malaysia
today. The Huawei P10 Lite is the affordable cousin in the P10 series and it is
aimed at the South East Asian market.
Rumours have finally been crunched now that the P10
Lite has been officially launched at 1,299 Ringgit which is just over US$ 290. The
device is a steal compared to its elder sibling, the P10 Plus which is priced
at 3,099 Ringgit or US$ 700. The P10 Plus comes with dual Leica cameras and 6GB
RAM coupled with 128 GB ROM.
Pretty much everything except the OS has been
downgraded to make the P10 Lite a worthy competitor in the South East Asian
market. It still runs Android 7.0 Nougat. The P10 Lite features a Kirin 655
chipset which is slower compared to the Kiring 960 found on the flagship
models. There is only one variant of 4GB RAM/32 GB ROM and the 3,000 mAh
battery is significantly smaller than the 3,750 mAh unit on the P10 Plus.
The 5.2-inch display is a welcome surprise at this
price point. It even features 1080p resolution. The 12 megapixel rear camera on
this smartphone is not a dual Leica setup like the P10 Plus. In fact, it does
not look like a Leica setup at all. We will keep you posted as and when more
information comes along.
