Huawei P20 Lite – the “light” model of the Huawei P20 Pro In contrast to the stronger P20 Pro, it comes with a few drawbacks. The P20 Pro already had a small drawback with regard to VR, the low screen resolution.

Huawei P20 Lite for a small price = larger bezels, weaker display, weaker camera
At first glance, the Huawei P20 Lite looks confusingly similar to its stronger sibling, the P20 Pro. But on closer inspection, the larger display bezels become apparent, which means that the display shrinks to a diagonal of 5.84 inches instead of 6.1.
The front camera is only equipped with 16 MP (P20 Pro with 40 MP). The recordings are correspondingly weaker.
On the back, in contrast to the P20 Pro, you can see that the fascinating color effect is not available, so that depending on the viewing angle, you don’t see a nice color effect. Nevertheless, it feels very high quality in its glass case. Unfortunately there is no water or dust protection.
The “notch” is also part of the game, i.e. the cut-out display on the top, as it was with the Essential Phone (amazon) and later at iPhone X has been used.

The “update dilemma”
Huawei is known for taking its time with updates or for not delivering any more for older models. Huawei likes to use its own creations, such as: B. the heavily changed Android surface and an extraordinary chipset (Hisilicon Kirin) it is of course difficult to adapt everything to innovations. But we’ll see how Huawei designs the update policy for this smartphone.
Is the Huawei P20 Lite suitable for VR? Only 432 ppi!
Because the display is a bit smaller than that of the P20 Pro, the pixel density increases to 432 ppi (P20 Pro is 408). Nevertheless, this is far too little for a great VR experience (you can find out how pixel density and resolution work here: VR glasses resolution).
