Huawei P40 Lite

📅 2020 📷 48 MP 🎬 1080p@30fps
from $170

📖 Overview

The Huawei P40 Lite is a 2020 mid-ranger built around a 48MP f/1.8 main camera (1/2.0" sensor) backed by an 8MP ultrawide, plus 2MP macro and depth helpers, and a 16MP selfie cam. There is no dedicated telephoto and no optical stabilization, and video tops out at a modest 1080p/30, so it leans on resolution and software rather than optics. Note that it ships with EMUI 10 on Android 10 without Google Mobile Services, a key limitation for users invested in Google apps.
