Huawei P20 Lite review

-

Introduction

The lite series used to be the new minis, but then people voted against the compact phones sharing nothing with the headliner but the name. So, today the latest Huawei P20 Lite isn't just a fancy name bearer - it has what it takes to be worthy of the P20 branding - the notched screen, the glass design with gradient paint, a dual-camera on the back, Face Unlock as well.

The so-called bezel-less notched screens have just made it to the mid-range, but they are becoming the next big thing there. And while we don't exactly fancy those, they surely look modern. Whether the aesthetics of the notch appeal to you will be up to personal preference.

The P20 Lite also packs a dual-camera and there is a high-res selfie snapper at the front, capable of defocusing backgrounds, too.

One thing that hasn't changed for a while in the Lite series is the Kirin chip. It's two-years-old already and it might become outdated sooner rather than later. We'll keep a closer eye on that in the performance section.

You might think the hype is equally shared between the P20 phones, but Huawei is actually widely advertising the Lite and Pro models, while often leaving the P20 out of the spotlight. And there is a reason for that - the Pro has the Leica Triple Camera, while the Lite has many trendy features on the cheap. Then there is the P20 that is, well, just ordinary.

Today we welcome the Huawei P20 Lite and we'll see how it stacks against the already overcrowded mid-range segment.

Huawei P20 Lite Unboxing

Huawei has treated the P20 Lite quite well - the phone comes bundled with an 18W fast charger, a USB Type-C cable, and a headset.

A case isn't included as it was with many other Huawei and Honor phones, but we appreciate the provided fast charger even though we had mixed experience with it. But more on that in the battery section.

Now let's see what the phone looks like on the outside.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity.

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
