Huawei Mate 10 Lite review

15 December 2017
Probably every Huawei flagship – be it P-series or a Mate – has had a trusted companion, a Lite version to complement – and… well, compliment it. The flagship shines even brighter next to a less gifted stablemate. The Lite model in turn doesn’t mind sharing some of the reflected light. It always works both ways and manufacturers are trying to get the best of it.

The Basemark X score is just slightly higher than my 2 years old Redmi Note 2
8500 vs 8700

    Best midranger for its price, stop comparing this phone to last year flagship that still expensive. Ye xiaomi is best but jesus look at those bezels

        Huawei V10 is much better given the fact it has Kirin 970.

              Wow Huawei, this thing is average at best compared to Nokia, Xiaomi, Willeyfox or Motorola.

                  Anonymous, 16 Dec 2017Another midranger with bad battery life. Nothing to see here. And weak audio too (Weak sound from headphones and crappy speaker).

                    The vivo and oppo models are more expensive than the Nova 2i. The least expensive is the LG Q6 given its specs.

                          YalokIy, 16 Dec 2017For the price, very disappointing omissions of NFC, wifi 5G... moreHonor 8 Pro and Zenfone 3 Zoom both destroy this phone. And let's not forget about the flagship S7 Edge with a price drop.

                            For the price, very disappointing omissions of NFC, wifi 5Ghz band, gorilla glass; lackluster cameras. Aside from 18:9 screen resolution, honor 8 is miles ahead in every direction.

                                      opt, 16 Dec 2017in terms of mobile gaming J7 Pro or this?I'd say this is greater. Kirin has no surprising GPU, but it beats the J7 Pro's. Two of my friends have the Mate 10 Lite (named Nova 2i here in the Philippines) and the J7 Pro, and the Mate 10 Lite was able to handle Tekken game, while the J7 Pro stutters even when navigating on the UI.

                                        Isn't this just a oversized Nova 2 that has little to do with the Mate series?
