Huawei built years ago in the Lite models the same CPUs but while still further optimizes the OS, the result: the phones are always a bit more modern (design) and even a little faster with the same cheap hardware.
I can recommend the P list range to anyone looking for a cheap modern smartphone and not looking for 9000 GB RAM and the 64 core processor in the phone. I myself have had the P9 Lite and I'm very satisfied, my mother the P10 Lite and my sister the P20 Lite and everybody is very happy with their equipment.
All in all, I can recommend it, yes.
Depends entirely on your claims on it.
But the bottom line is that it's a top smartphone for a good price.
I myself have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro and am more than satisfied!
Software is really good (not very good, but close to it) and technically it is just great.
The lite version is a little smaller and less powerful. But more than sufficient for daily use.
I also have a P20 Pro and my sister a P20 Lite. If you compare both directly on the P20 Pro feels higher. And that the P20 Lite runs a bit jerkier. But at the price it is still highly recommended!
Is OK. But you get better equipment for similar money.
For example, for 250 euro the Huawei Honor Play with the Soc of the upper class. That brings a lot more performance, but the camera is a bit worse.
Well, the same CPUs are not installed in the "Lite" models, but otherwise I can agree with you.
You're right, I was a bit wrong with the formulation. Right: With almost the same CPUs (the clock is always a bit booted and the power consumed as low as possible)
Yes, there are no worlds between a Kirin 710 (Mate 20 Lite) and Kirin 970 (Honor Play), but the difference is already clear and in practice, apart from 60k more points in Antutu! Therefore, I generally advise from the Lite models rather, since the subsidiary Honor usually better CPUs installed.
