Honor 10 Lite: Our favourite budget smartphone is all grown up
A budget entry, the Honor 10 lite has a big 6.21-inch FullView display. This is slightly bigger than the display on Galaxy S9 Plus but has a comparatively lower but still respectable Full HD+ 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution at 19.5:9 aspect ratio.
Shrinking Notch
The U-shaped cutout also known as the dewdrop notch on the display is minimal and unobtrusive pushing up to over 90% screen to body ratio. It doesn’t stop there, it has a dual main camera with 13MP and 2MP sensors and a super high AI powered 24MP selfie camera.
Big Sensor Selfie Camera
The dewdrop notch houses the single 24MP shooter that is enhanced by AI scene detection tech. This helps improve selfie photos with exposure compensation making shots a treat be it day or night. 3D Portrait Lighting shots and Group photos or we-fies have also received the necessary upgrades. Honor doesn’t stop there, even with the single camera, Face Unlock is offered with AI equipped facial recognition for quicker access to the phone. If you prefer to unlock your phone the old way, a fingerprint sensor is also present on the rear backplate.
Dual Rear Camera with AI
The rear cameras come as a pair of 13MP and 2MP AI enhanced camera with a wide F/1.8 aperture lense for better low light performance. Using advanced semantic segmentation technology, the Honor 10 Lite can recognize different objects and automatically choose the optimal adjustments for the shot. There is even a Super Night Shoot mode that lets you capture night shots in under six seconds of exposure with anti-shake function. The result, a stunning night time shot with professional result.
On the subject of the backplate, the Honor 10 Lite also received the colour gradient treatment in sky blue or black bringing it in line with other phones in Honor’s portfolio such as the Honor View 20 with Aurora Nanotexture treatment, Honor 8C and 8X with nano-level printing and optical coating. The device runs on mid-range Kirin 710 chipset with flagship level Cortex-A73 core. Combined with 3GB RAM memory and 32GB or 64GB of storage, the smartphone offers seamless performance. The Honor 10 Lite shares the same processor as the Honor 8X.
