The voices and guitars were well rendered. The bass was good, there was no distortion or vibration of the handset’s back side.

In the end the only thinb you have to remember is that this is an upgrade from the Huawei P9 Lite’s battery, but also not a match for the excellent P9 Lite (2017).Īs far as audio is concerned, we only get one speaker at the bottom, a SWS option in the music player and a pretty OK volume when listening to music.

There’s also the option to lower screen resolution and an Optimize feature. 30 minutes mean 42% and 1 hour 79%.īattery Settings include WiFi on during sleep, the option to close excessively draining apps and Power Saving Modes, including an Ultra Power Saving one. Still, the first minutes of charge are quite efficient, since 5 minutes equal 9% and 15 minutes 23%. Charging is done in 2 hours and 24 minutes, which basically beats the Xperia X Compact’s time. We also scored below the Huawei P9 Lite (2017) again and the Lenovo Vibe X3. In PCMark we reached 7 hours and 10 minutes, which is rather OK and superior to the Huawei Honor 8 and HTC 10. Its video playback time, measured by us clocked at 12 hours, which is quite good and surpasses the iPhone 6, but also scores below the iPhone SE and Huawei P9 Lite (2017). As far as the battery goes, this phone comes with a 3000 mAh unit and 18W fast charging. We also did temperature tests, achieving 34.8 degrees Celsius after running GFXBench and 38.9 degrees after running Riptide GP Renegade, so there’s no overheating. In GeekBench 4 we surpassed the ASUS ZenFone 3 and Huawei Nova, so overall the benchmarks were OK, but this won’t be much of a gaming machine in 2 years. Finally, in 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited, we went past the Sony Xperia XA and scored below the Huawei P8 and P9 Lite, which means the graphics aren’t quite future proof here. In AnTuTu 6 we achieved a higher score than the Huawei P9 Lite (2017) and Moto M, but scored below the Moto Z Play. We also did a bunch of benchmarks and in Quadrant we went past the ASUS ZenFone Zoom and Xperia Z3, while we also kept below the LeTV 1S and Motorola Moto M. Games like Riptide GP Renegade or C.A.T.S ran fine, so there’s no problem with gaming. We queued a lot of them, played games and encountered no delays. We didn’t experience any lag and the apps started fast. There’s 3 or 4 GB of RAM here, 32 GB of storage a microSD card slot. Moving past the screen, we get an octa core 16 nm processor, the Kirin 658, clocked at up to 2.1 GHz and with a Mali T830 MP2 GPU in the mix. Increasing sunlight readability is another option available in the Settings. Settings for the display include font size, eye comfort (remove blue light), brightness and color temperature. In the end brightness could have been better, but it’s also quite OK the way it is.

This also means we scored below the Huawei P10 and P9 Lite (2017), plus the P9 Lite itself, that had 443 LUX. We did a brightness test, achieving 386 LUX units, which is quite OK and superior to the Huawei P8 Lite and LG G5. Pixels have an RGB Stripes setup and I liked the white of the screen better than the one of the P9 Lite (2017). Vertically I was a bit let down by the angles. The viewing experience involved OK brightness and colors, a contrast that’s not that bad and wide view angles, at least horizontally. The video player on offer here offers a Pop Up Play feature, Enhance Audio and speed setup.

Moving on to the screen, we get a 5.2 inch Full HD IPS LCD panel, with 1.21 mm thick edges and a 1500:1 contrast ratio. It’s pretty premium for a midrange handset, priced at $300. Huawei P10 Lite feels like a very light phone, even lighter than its listed weight. The back side is not a fingerprint magnet, which is good news for a glass surface and this applies to the gold version we tested at least. The phone provides comfy one hand usage and its buttons offer good feedback. By the way it’s also 1 gram lighter than the P9 Lite and 0.3 mm slimmer. This is not bad compared to the 145 grams of the Huawei P10 and its 7 mm waist. Huawei P10 Lite measures 7.2 mm in thickness and weighs 146 grams. It’s not as curved as its rivals and I’m talking about the sides and even the screen edges, so it opts for a more serious and angular approach. While the P9 Lite had a polycarbonate back, this smartphone opts for the a metal frame and a glass back and front. It’s a glass and metal handset, available in black, blue, white or gold and it goes head to head with the Galaxy A5 (2017) and the ASUS ZenFone 3.

Priced at $329 on Amazon, this machine debuted in March this year and it’s a follow up to the excellent P9 Lite from last year.
