Huawei is known for making incredible flagship smartphones, but where they really shine is giving their mid-range customer
base access to the same awesome experience with their “lite” versions of these devices. The Huawei P30 lite, just like previous generations, is a budget version of the popular [Huawei P30](https://www.mondo.co.za/devices/Huawei-P30) and P30 Pro, and it delivers a lot of bang for your buck.

The Huawei P30 lite sports a crisp 6.5-inch IPS LCD with 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution.
__HARDWARE__

__STORAGE AND SPACE__
The phone comes standard with 128 GB of storage space with microSD expansion of up to 512GB (depending on model).
__COMPARISON__
Huawei couldn’t change too much with the P30 lite 2020 as it needed to remain close to last year’s version. However, there
are considerable improvements with particular features that make it a value-for-money option, such as an increase in battery capacity, RAM and several other features.
__VERDICT__
This is a solid update from Huawei with great design and performance, especially for photography enthusiasts who don’t want to break the bank on the flagship versions of the P30 or P30 Pro.
