AnonD-188574, 25 May 2018Pretty below average battery life...disappointingUhmmmm...on that, i really don't get this GSM arena testing....some phones that I had (s8 f.e.) had great tests result, and in real life I am actually disappoint since it can't hold even a one working day, and then this phone is "below average " and my friend that uses it can get 2 whole days on battery...after iphone 7 which also gets nice (better) test results on this side, he is super happy and this phone is actually much better for him.
So, something is wrong here...

    Ι won't get bored at saying that a kirin 659 , essentially the same as the 655 in the p9 lite is a joke in 2018. It will lag like crazy sooner rather than later. And it's a pity because it could be a decent midranger otherwise.

I know a lot of people who have the P8 Lite and the P9 lite, because general consumers think they are getting the real flagship with minor downgrades, but in fact these are completely other phones with the same name plus the Lite moniker

          I really don't understand why a solid device like the Xiaomi Mi Note 3 is never considered in this site. Besides, at least it is better than the Redmi Note 5 Pro...

            For just 20-30 euro more you can get... P10 that is just better than this.

            Or for the same price if not cheaper you can get P9, maybe its 2year old, maybe it dont have notch, but you get better performances, there is oreo update coming, you get better camera.

            Phones like those are not bought by moders who tweak them all the time, but by normal people who want just a working phone, and P10 and even P9 is just better than P20 lite, that beside "notch-modern look" dont have anything in it beside medicore performances.

              Those of you who says overpriced, outdated, avoid P-lite, well you 'll just stay bitter, we don't care coz we're loving huawei phones and you can't stop us from buying what we want.

                  The battery life on emui 8, always improving by its AI configuration day by day usage, thus will improved battery endurance significantly after a few weeks.

                  But Kirin 659 is a old chipset for a mid ranger phone already, better add up money a bit and buy the new Honor 10 instead, thats a performance-per-value phone as of today.

                    €300 for this outdated yesteryear engine.
                    I don't know what's the purpose of this device existance.

                      Huawei's P Lite series are always overpriced. Avoid them.

                          Great that the Redmi Note 5 Pro made it into the list of alternatives (also the Zenfone Max Pro M1 is a worthy alternative too).
                          But this P20 Lite is mostly comparable to my Redmi 5 Plus.
                          Kirin 659 is about on par with SnapDragon 625, but the 5 Plus is way cheaper.
                          Sure it lacks in camera department, but for almost $50 price difference, it's very hard not to ignore this phone.

                            Disappointed on the battery and chipset used.

                              Thing is, Kirin 659 is really old now and as such the battery performance is really not close to current modern midrangers . I suppose this is fine at sub 200 price points but at the P20 Lite asking price ? Nahh

                              Also the chassis is plastic. Not metal. It's pretty obvious if you just look at it.

                                It doesn't have the npu so how can the night mode possibly work like the p20....
