Editorial report

Huawei P40 lite 6 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The Huawei P40 lite suits everyday use for someone who values fast charging and expandable storage, but its 60 Hz display refresh rate is lower than that of most phones of its time. The 6.4-inch IPS LCD screen has a 1080 × 2310 resolution and 398 ppi density, above average among phones launched around the same time. That gives the display a useful level of detail, though its refresh rate is a clear compromise.

Its AnTuTu score of 411,024 is above average for phones of its time. The Kirin 810 comes with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with room for expandable storage. Connectivity is better than most: the P40 lite has NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, USB-C and dual-SIM support. Bluetooth 5.0 and a 3.5 mm audio jack are also included.

The 4,200 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time, while 40 W fast charging is more powerful than that of most. Its 48 MP main camera resolution is higher than that of most main cameras of its time, and the rear camera setup also includes an ultrawide camera. The phone does not have Google Services, a significant limitation for anyone who relies on them. With a NeoScore of 5.1, the Huawei P40 lite is best suited to buyers prioritizing charging, connectivity and expandable storage over a high-refresh-rate display.
