Huawei Mate 20 Lite SNE-LX3 64GB (Factory Unlocked) 6.3 FHD (International Version) (Sapphire Blue)

So far Ive used this sucker for about 3 months. The battery life is exceptional. The phone is super smart and tells you when there are battery sucking apps being ran in the background so you can shut them off. My one complaint so far is that I have to use the same ding for my emails as my text messages. So when I here the tone, I never know if it was an email or a text. Overall, Im in love. I never thought I would have anything other than a Samsung. I was in love with my Note 3. And then my Note 4. But for the price, this phone is everything I want and need. Unless something better comes along, I forsee myself being a Huawei customer for life.

This is my second Huawei phone. I got this one on amazons next day shipping, slapped in my sim card, and I was good to go. First of all, the battery life is awesome. All day on a charge easily. It sips power like my Corolla sips gas. The screen is amazing. Everything works great. There is a feature where you can swipe left on the home screen and it will bring up articles Google thinks I want to see. That will crash on occasion, but it just reverts to the home screen. People cannot believe how cheaply I got this thing. If I had 700 to spend I would have gotten the One Plus 7. But I got this for 230.00 and I am very happy.

Great quality, dropped at least 10 times since the purchase (2 years). Excellent buy!!

This phone is in everyway great, my coworkers loves it more than I do, the quality of the pictures taken from the cam is superb, the design is splendid, battery life is on point. Shipping and delivery was the fastest I ever seen since I have been ordering items online

That service support for getting connected to AT&T was rough, it took them 2 days, connectivity to my car took some investigation on internet but was able to solve it. Its a great phone, I didnt mention anything related to the fingerprint because I do not use it. The battery truly lasts long, I normally charge it every 3 days. I dont talk much but do navigate a lot

I needed to upgrade from my 16GB iPhone 6s for space and just couldnt rationalize the cost of even upgrading to a used iPhone 8. I was nervous to switch to Android, so I certainly didnt want a cheap phone to be the cause of my frustration, but the whole point of switching was to save money. This phones specs blew the same-price competitors away and was within my price range. So far Im very happy with it (1 month). Speedy, good looking, responsive... really no complaints as far as not doing what I need versus my iPhone. I connect to my car via an external bluetooth, attaching my phone to a mounted magnet for use (I have an older vehicle that doesnt have built-in bluetooth and screen). I only stream music (never use the cars radio/cd player) and I use maps frequently... everything has worked flawlessly. Phone calls have been clear using the phones headset, speaker and bluetooth. Quality check with friends: everyone says I sound just as clear as I did on my iPhone in all scenarios. Ive had no dropped calls and 4G works fine on AT&T. Signal isnt as great in my house (1-2 bars), but my calls have still been perfect. Battery lasts twice as long as my iPhone (and I replaced the battery on it a few months ago, getting the same battery life as I did when new). I can easily get a full day, play white noise overnight, and get through most of a second day. Charging is super fast. I think my biggest concern was the camera, and there are definitely pros and cons. Huawei gets grainy quicker in low light situations vs iPhone, BUT it also does a better job making low light pics look brighter. Pics that simply wouldnt turn out on the iPhone will turn out on Huawei, although grainy. In better light, pics are very similar. Huawei also has a lot of cool picture options that the iPhone didnt have, so overall Im happy with it. I think I actually like the video quality better on Huawei, especially screen resolution. I get a much wider shot. Videos are very sharp with bright colors and clear sound. Regarding Android: Huawei includes a number of apps of their own that cant be deleted, but I think its pretty minimal as far as bloatware goes. I got Nova Launcher from the Play Store, so my home screen is totally customized... which has gotten me hooked on Android now! For anyone else switching from iPhone, this is a must! You can choose custom icons for your apps, double up apps (I have my camera app, but then I just slide up on the app to open my photo viewer instead of having that app on the screen; same with FB and Messenger - tap or slide one icon, the two communication apps my kids teachers use, etc). This seriously reduces clutter! The widgets are super awesome too. I have my music streaming set up as a widget and can control most of it through the home screen now. I also have weather and time (larger print is much easier to use than the little clock on the top, and I can tap on the time to open the timer and the weather to open my weather app). My messaging app is also set up as a widget so I can see my most recent texts at a glance. You can also create rapid dial widgets, so I have 2 groups with custom icons for most common friends and family, so I rarely have to use my dialers contact list or navigate to favorites now. The downside to Android, though, is that all the stuff that comes standard on Apple isnt standard... so many dialer, voicemail, messaging, and keyboard apps, and the crappy ones are useless and full of ads. Its a total time-suck finding what works! To possibly save you some time: I use the Huawei dialer and Visual Voicemail (customize to open when I swipe up on the dialer app). I use Pulse for messaging - it works flawlessly and syncs on multiple devices (I loved using iMessage on my Mac and had no issues migrating to Pulse), plus it is super reasonably priced unlike others that want $80/year subscriptions... might as well get an iPhone at that rate! I liked Digital Clock Xperia as my time, date and weather widget. SwiftKey Keyboard is my favorite, although I dont think its quite as intuitive as Apple, but has other customization options that balance it out. Definitely order a new case - the clear one that comes with it if cheap. Itll prevent scratches, but I doubt theres any shock absorption in falls. The choices were limited when I purchased this because its a new model, but I went with Spigen Rugged Armor. I also ordered a 3 pack of 6 type c cables. The Supershieldz screen protector didnt work (air gap around the edges and loosened after a few weeks, effecting touch screen sensitivity, but at that point peeled off very easily).

So, basically, it is a nice phone. Screen is good, the process to open and close phone is good. Face recognition is okay, but is always actively searching for your face and does not unlock unlock the screen, it just says the screen is unlocked now, and you have to physically swipe up to open the phone. So, its annoying at points. But the lock screen changes photos every time you unlock it, which is pretty cool. Comes with some bloatwear but not a lot. Has room for you to configure the apps and lets you move the icons around. Connectivity is good! I can load pages on the go now! Except, like others have said, it does not run on 4G LTE via t-mobile. It does go 4G though which is good enough for me. Now I dont have to use the free slow wifi at work. Camera is nice! Except for when taking pictures for instagram via the app. The quality of the picture goes down and image shrinks for some reason. Which takes me to the notch. The notch isnt that annoying. Its what it is. Its there to tell us which side is up, I guess. Ringtones are cool, but I dont use them. So, the vibrate mode is good but loud! I like it though! I can hear it then. It does have a little notification light that lights up to tell you you have messages or something. Now the keyboard, the only thing that is annoying about it is that the space bar is toooooooooooooooo close to the home circle. When I go to hit space, my thumb hits the home button too because my hands are kind of stubby. So, they gotta work on that. The screen protector that came with it, sucks because I tried to put it on, and it created air bubbles that would not go away. Battery life can only be in the good range if the power saving mode is on! Like with out it, the battery drains like crazy. I dont know why but it just does. This phone is not for super heavy use. I just update my social media apps and 1% some how drops as I look at it for a few minutes. So, there might be apps running in the background I do not know about. Downloading stuff uses battery power too! Playing videos, full screen is full but not where the notch area is. So, it does not get in the way of watching videos on youtube. And in power saving mode, the display is kind of knocked down to help conserve energy. YAY! Lets be more eco friendly no? Unboxing, I was a little skeptical if it was new because the plastic on the screen was crooked but whatever, Ill probably change it in a year or two because of the newer cameras coming out. Well, thats about all I have, Ill update in about a week how things are going!! UPDATE: So It has been 3 days and the battery on power saving mode is still going strong! Also, the phone likes to fall a sleep sometimes and not wake up where the power button comes in handy. Also, face detection is always on while holding the phone but when placed down, it will not recognize your face. Also, if it starts falling a sleep, just rock it.

Just purchased this phone a few days ago and Huawei hit a home run with this phone. Coming from a Huawei Nexus 6P phone which I owned for 3 years, this phone blows it away. In my opinion, this phone with a glass back is as just good as any premium $1,000 android phone. The phone is very fast opening apps and with the 6.3 inch screen size, watching videos is like having a high def. TV. The software (both android 8.1 and EMUI) has many features and operation is very smooth with no hesitation. Phone calls are loud and clear. No drop calls with T-Mobile. The battery life is unbelievable. I just got three days and two nights with 12% left of battery life (light to moderate use including phone calls, Iheart radio, youtube, facebook and texting, but no games). The camera with AI takes really good photos, especially selfies. Videos are good too, but no 4K. For the $299.00 price (plus I got $70 credit with the Amazon Visa card with no fees) it was a fantastic deal. Like I said, the best phone for the best price. Also, comes with a case and screen protector. The only complaint is that I wish the placement of the fingerprint sensor was just a 1/4 inch lower because it is too close to the camera bumps. However, you wont be disappointed with this phone. I will update my experience next month. Update One Month Later: After one month with this phone, I am loving it. It is the best phone I have ever owned (I loved my previous phone the Nexus 6P ,but had battery issues). First of all, the battery is amazing. No, I dont get three full days, but definitely 2 full days with moderate use and still 10% left. If you want up to three days you can use the regular battery saver setting or you can use the ultra saver setting for maybe four days or longer. Again, unless you watch videos all day, you will never have to carry a battery charger with you for daily use. The processor is very fast and the phone never heats up during use. Wifi connection is excellent and I havent dropped a call yet using T-Mobile. And, yes you do get 4G LTE service with T-Mobile and it is very fast. But, it doesnt have the new T-Mobile Band 71 or 700mhz. Like I said it still connects very well with T-Mobile in the USA. The AI makes amazing regular and selfie photos with this phone (easy just to point and shoot). It does have some bloatware with Huawei EMUI, but it does not affect the performance of the phone. Also, I would definitely purchase a screen protector and case for the phone due to the glass back is very slippery. Overall, it is a beautiful phone and I still give it 5 stars. As I stated before, you cannot purchase a better phone for the price. Excellent value.

Todo estuvo increíble, llego con el empaque intacto, y todos los accesorios, el teléfono funciona muy bien; batería buena, dura aproximadamente 26 horas full uso, lector de huellas rápido y la cámara súper bien, supero mis espectativas! :)

I waited 3 months to write this review and all I can say is that I am extremely satisfied with the Mate 20 Lite. For starters the build quality is nice and feels premium, for a 6.3 phone it fits nicely in a hand. Phone is fast and all the apps and features run smoothly with little to no lag, in addition, it is also very responsive. Camera quality is also great with the addition of the AI support photos are automatically sharpened and cleaned for the best quality possible. The facial camera works great most of the time, I say this because at times in low light it easy recognizes but in a room with the blinds fully opened (or a very bright room) it has trouble recognizing. Its not really a problem as there is also a finger print sensor that so far has been working as intended. One issue I have found is that some calls are automatically transferred to voicemail even though I have call forwarding disabled. I have T-mobile so it may be a frequency issue but it happens rarely, in addition, some messages get delayed as wells. Im not too bothered by this but it can be an inconvenience at times such as work calls. All in all, I think this is a great phone both for the price and performance you are getting.
