HUAWEI will unveil itsP40 seriesflagshipson March 26. Ahead of that launch, the company hasquietly announceda Lite variant in the series called the HUAWEI P40 Lite.
The quad camera smartphone has launched in Europe, more specifically in Spain. It is essentially a rebranded version of the HUAWEI Nova 6 SE which launched in China back in December.
The HUAWEI P40 Lite isreportedlypriced at €299 (~$326) in Spain. It runs on the 7nm Kirin 810 processor just like the recently launched global variant of theHONOR 9X Pro.
What do you get for the price?
The Kirin 810 essentially rivalsQualcomm’s Snapdragon 675andSnapdragon 730platforms. However, it tops out at 1080p/30fps video recording, which means that camera can’t perform 4K video capture like phones powered by Qualcomm’s counterparts.
The P40 Lite processor is paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.
The IPS LCD display on the phone measures 6.4-inches and comes with a Full HD+ resolution of 2,310 x 1,080 pixels. It has a punch hole in the top left corner of the screen housing the 16MP selfie shooter.
