Honor 10 Lite with affordable price tag goes official in the Philippines

Right on schedule, Honor launched its latest selfie-centric smartphone in the Philippines, the Honor 10 Lite.

Honor 10 Lite

As its name suggests, Honor 10 Lite is the more affordable sibling of the Honor 10. But, it is safe to argue that it is more stylish than its higher-end sibling.

The highlights

Honor 10 Lite boasts a gradient 3D glass-like back design with a 6.21-inch 19:5:9 screen with a small halo-like notch. Honor claimed that it even has over 90 percent of screen-to-body ratio. It is also one of the few with a super slim chin.

Tiny notch!

Inside, it is pretty powerful device as well. It is powered by the Kirin 710 octa-core processor, the same chipset found on the higher-end Nova 3i by Huawei. It even has the advantage on gaming as it has GPU Turbo 2.0 versus the GPU Turbo version 1 on Nova 3i.

The device that we will get in PH is the 3GB RAM/64GB ROM variant. The 64GB storage is even expandable up to 400GB with microSD slot.

The cameras

Honor 10 Lite has a capable 13MP f/1.8 primary shooter with PDAF focus paired with a 2MP f/2.4 secondary sensor. What made it special is it has Master AI for portraits and scene detection. It can detect up to 22 different scenes.

Dual-cam!

Moreover, it is currently the most affordable with an AIS Super Night Mode. This feature will allow users to shoot up to 6 seconds handheld long exposure shots for low light scenes.

The rest of the features

Honor 10 Lite also comes with AI face unlock tech that works even in low light. It also has a fingerprint scanner at the back for added security.

As expected the phone has WiFi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth, and dual SIM slots. It runs with Android 9.0 Pie OS w/ EMUI 9.0 skin out of the box.

As of writing, this handset is one of the few with Android Pie out of the box.
