Huawei introduced the P30 and P30 Pro yesterday, but
their Lite sibling wasn't part of the announcement. Yet the midranger Huawei
P30 Lite wasted no time and is already listed for pre-order in the Philippines. Websites like Abenson, Shopee
have listed the phone for PHP 16,990 (US$ 320/€ 290), with shipping set for April 4.
Looking at the CPU configuration of four Cortex-A73
cores at 2.2 GHz and four Cortex-A53 units at 1.7 GHz,the chipset is likely the
Kirin 710 with Mali-G51 GPU. The phone listed is with 6 GB RAM and 128 gigs of
storage, but there is no word on microSD slot.
The triple camera on the back includes a 24 MP main
shooter, 8 MP wide-angle lens and 2 MP depth sensor. However, the pride of the
phone is the 32 MP selfie camera, positioned in the waterdrop notch on the
front. Speaking of the display, it is 6.15” LCD with Full HD+ resolution and
tall 19.5:9 ratio.
Arriving with Android Pie and EMUI 9.0.1, the Huawei
P30 Lite has a 3,340 mAh battery with 18W fast-charging, USB-C port and 3.5 mm
audio jack. It supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac standards, but Bluetooth is
limited to 4.2. The back appears to be made of plastic looking like glass, but
there is no NFC whatsoever.
Huawei is launching the phone in White, Black, and
Blue. Abenson gathers pre-orders until April 12, but first shipments start on
April 10. It will arrive with plenty of gifts, including a 10,000 mAh
powerbank, Bluetooth speaker and a selfie stick while supplies last. Shopee is also throwing in a
tempered glass protector and a case for the Huawei P30 Lite, while wrapping up
the pre-order campaign earlier - April 4.
