Huawei P40 Lite - Smartphone 128GB, 6GB RAM, Dual Sim, Black

Product Information

Huawei’s AppGallery is the brand’s alternative to Google’s Play Store (which is absent), and you can also get apps on board with Phone Clone or the APK Pure store. In fact, for the most part getting apps on it wasn’t the problem - it was guaranteeing they would work perfectly. The Huawei P40’s Leica-branded camera setup consists of a 50MP f/1.9 primary camera, a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto camera that’s capable of 3x optical zoom, just like the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus. Unlike the P40 Pro, there’s no time-of-flight (ToF) sensor here. Display The display of a mobile device is characterized by its technology, resolution, pixel density, diagonal length, color depth, etc. Type/technology The Huawei P40 was unveiled in March 2020, and then it was released in a variety of countries around the world in April. The phone is currently available in the UK, other parts of Europe, Australia, and the Middle East.

System on Chip (SoC) A system on a chip (SoC) includes into a single chip some of the main hardware components of the mobile device. SoC The P40's rear camera array consists of a 50 MP wide lens, a 16 MP ultrawide lens and an 8 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The P40 Pro increases the resolution of the ultrawide sensor to 40 MP, replaces the standard telephoto lens with a 12 MP periscope sensor capable of 5x optical zoom, and adds a time-of-flight sensor. We shot the P40 Lite 5G directly alongside it's flagship sibling, the P40 Pro Plus, to see whether the budget handset could even come close to the stellar image quality offered by the Pro Plus. And the good news is, it can, providing you're not too fussy. Images from the P40 Lite 5G's primary camera are well exposed, accurately focused, and look great when viewed on the phone itself. The rear quad-camera setup consists of a 64 MP Main Camera, 8 MP Ultra Wide Angle Lens, 2 MP Bokeh Sensor and 2We found the phone scored 2994 in Geekbench 5 software, which is higher than the Samsung Galaxy S20 (that got 2699) and also exactly the same as the Huawei P40 Pro. W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) is an air interface used by 3G mobile networks. It is one of the three different UMTS interfaces together with the TD-SCDMA and the TD-CDMA. The standard provides faster data transfer speeds and allows more users to connect to the network simultaneously.

Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the photos taken by the front camera, indicated in megapixels as well. Open the Huawei P40 Lite retail box, and you will see the phone first. Underneath, you'll find the 40W charger and a modified USB-C cable needed to make the 40W charging work. Networks A mobile (cellular) network is a radio system, which allows a large number of mobile devices to communicate with each other. GSM P40 Pro: Quad: 50MP Wide (f/1.9, 23mm, 1/1.28", 2.44µm, OIS) + 40MP Ultrawide (f/1.8, 1/1.54", 18mm) + 12MP Telephoto (f/3.4, 125mm, OIS) + time-of-flight sensor, Leica optics, 5x optical zoom, phase detection and laser AF, gyro-EIS, HDR, dual-LED dual-tone flash, 4K@30/60fps, 1080p@30/60fps, 720p@7680fpsPixels are usually measured in microns (μm). Larger ones are capable of recording more light, hence, will offer better low light shooting and wider dynamic range compared to the smaller pixels. On the other hand, smaller pixels allow for increasing the resolution while preserving the same sensor size. Porter, Jon (26 March 2020). "Huawei hopes the P40 Pro's hardware can lure you away from Google". The Verge . Retrieved 26 March 2020. For both photo and video, pixel binning is used for improved low-light sensitivity, and video can be captured from the wide-angle and telephoto sensors simultaneously with directional audio computed from three omnidirectional microphones. The 6.1-inch display on the Huawei P40 has a resolution of 1080 x 2340, making it Wide Full HD. This isn’t class-leading for the price, falling behind the screen of the OnePlus 7T Pro by some margin, for example. That said, it’s still better than the iPhone 11 from a clarity point of view. One of the main characteristics of the display is its type/technology, on which depends its performance.

The Huawei P40 series features Leica optics, and the wide lens on all models is a new "Ultra Vision" 50 MP sensor. Like the P30, the wide lens uses a "SuperSpectrum" image sensor, whose color filter array uses yellow sub-pixels instead of green. Huawei stated that this would allow more light to be captured, and enhanced absorption of red and green colors. Rear camera: Primary - 48MP, 26mm, f/1.8; PDAF; Ultrawide - 8MP, 13mm, fixed focus, f/2.4; Macro - 2MP, f/2.4, fixed focus; Depth sensor - 2MP. Video recording up to [email protected], Abbas.

"Huawei confirms the new Mate 30 Pro won't come with Google's Android apps". The Verge . Retrieved 2019-09-22. The elephant in the room is that Huawei’s most recent devices aren’t allowed to use a variety of Google Mobile Services. Those include apps such as YouTube and Gmail, as well as the Google Play Store. So a lot of core Android apps and services are absent. The color depth of the display is also known as bit depth. It shows the number of bits used for the color components of one pixel. Information about the maximum number of colors the screen can display. The Huawei P40 runs Android 10, with EMUI 10.1 over the top. Given the power inside, there’s no noticeable lag when scrolling through apps or settings, or switching between them, however, without a 90Hz refresh rate screen, the P40 just doesn’t feel as nippy as some other devices like the OnePlus 7T, even though, technically, it’s more powerful.

There are higher storage variants in some regions, but that price above is for the 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage variant, which is the most common in both the UK and Australia. Overall, the Huawei P40 is easier to use in the hand than its two sibling devices, but it doesn’t feel or look as premium as either of those devices. That said, it still looks a lot better than many other high-end phones. Display The P40 Lite has a battery with impressively large capacity and supports the blazing-fast Huawei SuperCharge 40W. Oh, and spoiler alert, the proprietary 40W charger comes in the box! Information about the electric current (amperes) and voltage (volts) the charger outputs. The higher power output allows faster charging.Chipset: Kirin 810: octa-core CPU (2x2.27 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x1.88 GHz Cortex-A55); Mali-G52 MP6 GPU. The instruction set architecture (ISA) is a set of commands used by the software to manage the CPU's work. Information about the set of instructions the processor can execute. Information about the process technology used in manufacturing the chip. The value in nanometers represents half the distance between elements that make up the CPU. Battery life on the Huawei P40 is remarkably strong, and if you’re using your phone an average amount you may be able to get over a day’s worth of use from a single charge. In fact, at one point in our testing we got a full two days out of it.
