IPhone 7 vs Huawei P20 Lite?

I currently have Apple iPhone 7. But because I want to switch tariff soon, I want to make a contract with mobile phone and therefore probably a new phone. I'm very satisfied with my iPhone and therefore a little afraid to buy a new phone with Android. Huawei P20 Lite, however, I like very much in terms of design.

What do you all mean? Will I be disappointed if I sell my phone and buy a cheaper one?

What are your experiences with Huawei P20 Lite?

The P20 Lite runs very smoothly and is also quite often supplied with system updates. Battery life is good, the 4 GB of RAM are - with a few background services installed - about half free for foreground applications. This means that you can quickly switch between multiple apps without them flying out immediately.

It is a little intransparent, if you want to use OTG features. The device does support USB OTG. However, not all devices. For example, I tried to connect external USB keyboards. Result: none (!) Of the USB keyboards here in the house was recognized by the thing. So here are some negative points.

What also stands out: if one has I / O-intensive actions in the background, z. B. Larger amounts of data transfers to / from WLAN, then you can see a slight display flickering, if you look closely. That is not critical on its own. But it already shows that the device is apparently constructed quite close to the limit.

Another problem, which can occur with some apps, is the appearance of the outer corners of the picture with the option "full-screen display". The device has a "Notch" and otherwise rounded display corners. As a result, in full-screen mode, things in those places disappear from view for some (interestingly, but not all) apps. Is a solvable problem, because you can disable the "total" full screen display in the settings of each app. Nevertheless, it is annoying that you have to worry about it at all.

Otherwise good device.

You'll be disappointed with the part, which is one of the worst cell phones you can buy. The processor just can't handle the Huawei software.

Alternative: Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. Looks like the P20 Lite, has about the same hardware, but for Android in pure form without inflated surface over it and therefore runs much smoother.

If you really want to have Huawei: Huawei P smart +. Very important is the plus! Has the new middle-class chip from Huawei and should run it by far better than the P20 Lite. Also interesting: Honor 10. This is Huawei's sister brand. The Honor 10 has Huawei's upper-class chip in it and is therefore running well.

Very fluid? Then compare that with a similar expensive Android One device. The part is a joke for the price, nothing more, nothing less.

The P20 Lite may not be the first choice for gamers, to put it this way. It's just a little older processor generation installed. But in the "normal" application mode, the device works at least for me delay, as I have seen much worse smartphones. The Wi-Fi data transfer rates, which I see when copying larger files, are pretty neat. D. H. Also under I / O-point of view, the thing is quite fix.

As I said, use a device with Android One, or Halt Stock Android next to it with the same performance class of CPU. So, for example A Xiaomi Mi A1 or Mi A2 Lite. If I click on Chrome, YouTube, or WhatsApp, they'll have to open immediately, not after two or three seconds of "thought time." Exactly there's the problem of the P20 Lite and in general every Huawei with Kirin 659. The P20 Lite comes then just the price added. With an Honor 7X I could get over it, that's a lot cheaper.

"Pure Android without inflated surface over it"

By EMUI you get regular updates, soon to come for the phones also GPU Turbo for a better gaming.

I'll tell you my opinion now, and I hope that I will never make that mistake again, and that I can get others in the right direction.

In April, I bought the Huawei P20 Lite, it's not a bad phone, but what is unbelievably disappointing is that the P20 Lite has cost a whopping 380 Euro! One month later, the Honor 10 came out for 400 euro, kirin 970 … Bigger battery, GPU Turbo, better camera. And since then I regret it!

Then I looked at the P Smart +, new mid-range processor has come to Kirz Kirin 710th The mobile phone costs 300 euro RRP. I could have freaked out! On Antutu, the P Smart + has 138,000 points, the P20 Lite just under 90,000 points. And yet the P20 Lite cost 80 euro more?

Without joke, I would like to exchange the mobile phone with 100 Euro for the Honor 10.

The Honor 10 is already available on the Internet for 340 euro to buy and the performance is even better than on the iPhone 7. With Android you need not worry, it is vielfälltiger, clear and offers more features than IOS. And finally, Huawei and Honor phones also have EMUI as their operating system, they regularly provide updates, and soon GPU Turbo is also set to deliver a better gaming experience.

Regularly means a security patch once every six months?

No, no idea which mobile phone you have. Every month until every other month I get a little update like security patch, more energy saving, display sensitivity, better gaming and in September my mobile GPU Turbo gets 60% more graphics performance.

But I'm not satisfied with what I spent. Just look at my answer below.

In the two years I've had my Honor 7, I've got just one update. In the year and a half with the Honor 4X before exactly zero security patches away from the Android updates from 4.4 to 5 and 6.

60% more power out of nowhere? How does that work?

Maybe Honor gets updates less frequently than Huawei or the current devices get updates frequently.

The Honor 10 is already GPU Turbo, no idea how it works but for me it would be useful because I'll play PUBG and Fortnite on the phone.

60% more power with 30% less power consumed by an update? That sounds like a lot to me: you left 60% performance for years because we were too stupid to program a decent driver.

Can be, something must have been there what a lot of graphics performance has eaten and have probably found ne option.
