At the back, the P20 lite is equipped with a dual camera setup. It has a 16MP primary sensor with f/2.2 aperture size, 1.12 μm size, PDAF focus, and Huawei's new 4-in-1 light fusion technology for brighter photos in lowlight.

Huawei assisted the 16MP primary sensor with 2MP sensor w/ 1.75 μm which captures depth information to make the "bokeh" effect possible.

There's a big 16MP sensor in front too!

For selfies, it has a 16MP f/2.0 with smart screen flash. According to Huawei, mart screen flash adjusts color temperature for 11 different scenarios.

As expected, both cameras has portrait mode with adjustable face beauty and cute AR filters. The primary shooter has a pro camera mode.

As expected, daylight shots has plenty of details. It has balanced color tones too. Point and shoot indoor and lowlight are impressive for a mid-ranger. It has wide dynamic range and good details in lowlight.

The selfie camera is up there with the competition. The portrait bokeh has cleaner edges than the Nova 2i. The face beauty mode could still over beautify your face though.

Overall, P20 lite's cameras are very promising so far! It could be the mid-range camera phone to beat.
