Editorial report

Honor V40 Lite technical sheet

The Honor V40 Lite suits buyers looking for a slim, light phone with a large display; the trade-off is a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. Its 7.6 mm body is among the thinnest of its time, and its 169 g weight is lower than that of most contemporaries. Its 89.3% screen-to-body ratio is also among the best of its time.

The 6.57-inch OLED display has a resolution of 1080 × 2340 px, a 90 Hz refresh rate and HDR10. That makes for a large screen with a refresh rate above 60 Hz. The phone has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, both higher amounts than most phones of its time. Its processor is the MediaTek Dimensity 800U.

The 64 MP camera resolution is better than that of most cameras of its time, but its f/1.9 aperture is worse than most and it has no optical image stabilization. The 3,800 mAh battery also has less capacity than most; in contrast, 66 W fast charging is among the highest of its time. The overall NeoScore is 5.9. It is a good fit for buyers who prioritize a thin, light design, a large screen area and fast charging, and can accept a smaller-capacity battery.
