Huawei P30 Lite (2019) review

Like many of this year’s cutting edge mid-tier smartphones, the P30 Lite is only really compelling for as long as you forget that the Pixel 3a exists. Devices like the Pixel 3a, Reno Z and Galaxy A-series are pushing boundaries for just how good a phone you can get when it comes to the mid-tier. By comparison, the Huawei P30 Lite feels like a beast of bygone era.

Huawei P30 Lite review

The P30 Lite does a great job of distilling the bits we loved about the P30 and making them available at a more manageable price. Now that flagship phones are regularly shattering the £1000 mark, cut-price versions like this are only going to get more popular. Still, it does feel a bit like this is a phone riding on the coattails of a more in-demand bigger brother - were it called something different there's every chance Huawei would have charged less for it. Battery life isn't amazing, the display is only average and performance, particularly in 3D games, is a bit lacking, so while £329 is still something of a bargain, there are rivals that come impressively close for even less cash. But if you're sold on the looks, want a flexible camera and know the full-fat P30 is out of your grasp, this is a happy compromise.
