Huawei P30 Lite, comparative: this is against its rivals, including the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Moto G7 Plus

Although it has not been announced in style as the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro, the Huawei P30 Lite is already official. The firm has not wanted to miss the opportunity to renew its commitment to the mid-range with a device of 6 GB of RAM and the Kirin 710. The Huawei P20 Lite set the bar quite high last year, and the Huawei P30 Lite comes to give a little more.

Proceed, therefore, see how it is compared to its most direct rivals in specifications. For this, in this comparison, we have selected the Motorola Moto G7 Plus, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, the Huawei Mate 20 Lite, the Samsung Galaxy A50, and the OPPO RX17 Pro. Let's see how the Average Android range is.

Four eyes against two (or one)

We begin with the photographic section. The Huawei P30 Lite increases the number of optics on the back concerning its predecessor, with a module on the end of three cameras. It seems that little by little, the triple camera is reaching the mid-range after becoming a standard for the high-end.

In the devices that we are dealing with today, triple cameras do not abound. In fact, there are only two mobile phones that carry it: the Huawei P30 Lite and the Samsung Galaxy A50. In fact, both share a similar configuration with an ultra wide-angle, a lens with a normal angle and a ToF sensor to help in portrait mode. The differences are in the resolution: 24 + 8 + 2 megapixels for the Chinese terminal and 25 + 8 + 5 for the Korean model.

The Huawei P30 Lite is one of the few mid-range that has three lenses in the back

The Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, the Huawei Mate 20 Lite, and the OPPO RX17 Pro, on the other hand, mount a double lens whose configurations are varied. The sensors of the Mi 8 Lite are 12 megapixels and a ToF of 5 megapixels; those of the Huawei Mate 20 Lite is similar, although 20 megapixels and 2 megapixels, respectively; The OPPO RX17 Pro has a 12-megapixel sensor with variable aperture and a secondary 20-megapixel sensor that acts as a telephoto.

As for the selfies, the Huawei P30 Lite has a sensor of 32 megapixels hidden in the notch in the form of a drop, thus being the highest resolution. The only one that, on paper, seems to shadow it, is the Huawei Mate 20 Lite with its double front camera. The other devices covered do not reach 30 megapixels.

From Kirin, Snapdragon, and Exynos the thing goes

Going to the engine, all terminals are quite similar except the Motorola Moto G7 Plus. Why? Because the P30 Lite and Huawei Mate 20 Lite have a Kirin 710, the OPPO RX17 Pro has a Snapdragon 710 and the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite a Snapdragon 660, while the Motorola terminal stays in a Snapdragon 636. The Galaxy A50, meanwhile, mounted the Exynos 9610. Saving the Motorola, which perhaps remains a little behind in terms of processors, the rest of the devices are very even.

The Huawei P30 Lite, the OPPO RX17 pro and the more powerful version of the Galaxy A50 are the ones with more RAM

Where we see different obvious is in RAM and is that the Huawei P30 Lite has 6 GB (and nothing else, there are several versions). Only the OPPO RX17 Pro and the most potent version of the Samsung Galaxy A50 equals it since the rest of the phones included in this comparison have 4 GB of RAM. Of course, the final result will depend on the optimizations that each manufacturer makes and the operating system installed. In the case of the P30 Lite, we talked about Android 9 Pie with EMUI 9.0.1.

Last but not least, let's talk about internal storage. The Huawei P30 Lite has 128 GB as the only configuration, expandable, yes, with microSD cards. The OPPO RX17 Pro has 128 GB as well, but no microSD, just like the 6 GB RAM version of the Galaxy A50. The rest of the devices mount 64 GB of internal memory, always expandable.

Let's talk about battery

We ended up talking about the battery, a section in which the P30 Lite is not in the first positions. The one that takes the gold is the Samsung Galaxy A50 with its 4,000 mAh capacity. It is followed by the Huawei Mate 20 Lite with 3,750 mAh and the OPPO RX17 Pro, with 3,700 mAh. It is not until the fifth position that we find the P30 Lite with its 3,340 mAh, surpassed by the 3,340 mAh of the Mi 8 Lite and above the 3,000 of the Motorola Moto G7 Plus.

The 18W charge is far behind the Super VOOC of the OPPO RX17 Pro

About fast charging, the P30 Lite has a load of 9V, 2A, and 18W, the same as the Mate 20 Lite. The Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite has Quick Charge 3.0, the Motorola Moto G7 Plus a fast charge of 27W and the Galaxy A50 also has its own system. The one that stays in first place is the OPPO RX17 Pro since it has Super VOOC technology, capable of charging the mobile in only 40 minutes.

The capacities are similar, which agrees with the fact that all the models of the comparison have a thickness more or less equal, fraction of millimeter up or down. The only discordant is the Motorola Moto G7 Plus, which exceeds eight millimeters.
