Using the sophisticated 3D photolithography technology, the HONOR 20 Lite has a dynamic prism-shaped color gradient with a gleaming effect at the back, shining whenever it moves. Unfortunately, this means that (like its predecessor) the 20 Lite doesn’t support fast charging, which the Moto G7 and Huawei P30 Lite both support: the manufacturer claims it’ll take two and a half hours to fully charge the internal 3,400mAh battery. The included USB charger delivers 10 watts and is thus sufficiently equipped to power the Honor 20 Lite regardless of the load level.

That triple-camera system, too, doesn’t actually feature three full-on cameras, nor is it the premium flagship-troubling unit that the Pixel 3a promises to be.

We use ColorChecker passport to determine how well the camera of the Honor 20 Lite is able to capture colors. The camera housings stick out slightly from the rear plastic, but this doesn’t cause a problem (unlike with the Huawei P30 Lite, whose protruding lenses cause it to rock around when placed face-up on the desk). In spite of paying attention and showing great sensitivity when providing the information, we can not guarantee 100% accuracy.

This is not the ToF (time-of-flight) style camera seen in the Honor View 20, just one to help out with the Honor 20 Lite’s Aperture and Portrait modes.

Elsewhere you’ll find recycled and entry-level components in place of the very latest tech, as well as out-of-date connectivity options.HDR mode does improve the overall dynamic range of an image, bringing more detail to both highlights and shadows. It doesn’t mean you can’t run the latest games: just that they’ll be a bit jerkier than on the most powerful phones or simply run at reduced detail levels.
