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

After first saying that this phone cannot work in my region, it changed its mind and it works very well, a serious competition to iPhones! I recommend this phone to anyone looking for a new one.

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.

I love Huawei phones! I love the way the phone handles, charges great and came with: cord, earphones, clear cover and nice tidy package. I use my phone to fax and receive faxes, fill out paperwork not to mention the space and options this phone offers. This is the only brand Android phone that Id buy!

I bought this phone as a gift and they loved it. So far is been very reliable and great for everyday use. Of course this is a mid level phone so i wasnt expecting premium specs. Good thing is that it works everywhere in the world.

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).

Phone arrived yesterday. I bought Unlocked International Huawei Mate 20 Lite for foreign travel but decided to try it with AT&T here in LA. It works flawlessly with no connection problems that I read on reviews elsewhere - the IMEI number was in AT&T system as exactly this model. Speed and function of OS and apps is great - I did not opt for most of the Huawei apps. Although this is the only the lite Mate 20 version the dual rear camera has stunning night mode photo results. I only wish it had a warranty in the US - just in case. It is also working with Walmart Straight Talk and I get better connectivity than with my Samsung S7 Edge on Verizon.

Ive owned iPhone and Samsung flagship phone and I would buy this phone before any other 100 times over. This is not even their flagship phone and it is way better than any competitor. Definitely worth the low price in comparison.

Been using this for some time now. The screen has a small artifact on it over time now. Like a small side of it is slightly darker.. Very slightly only noticeable on dark videos. The Bluetooth takes a whole to connect at times. GPS works well. Android auto can be glitch at times but usually resolves quickly. For the money it is a good deal. But Im about to go back to an iPhone XR since I was able to get it for $450.

Right after the purchase, I thought I hit a jackpot with this device - it was fast enough for most of my needs; battery life was fantastic; cameras were good enough, and I got used to the UI quickly. I did the usually things to protect the phone by encasing it in a case and installing a temper glass protector on the screen. Eight months later, I dropped the phone accidentally on a carpet and the screen cracked. I have dropped many other phones in the past and some on hard surfaces, but other than dents and chippings, none had cracked. I googled on the web and found that many had complained about the fragility of the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Lite screen which is made with glass. Being a DYI person I am, I ordered a replacement kit and replaced the damage screen. The replacement screen didnt last more than 2 months and it cracked again after I dropped the phone on a hardwood floor, but only from knee high level. Thats really bad considering that I have no complaints for all the other aspects of the phone. It seems that the maker of phone never did any drop test and just assumed that people never drop their phones.

I bought an Honor play to use as my primary phone. I instantly fell in love with it. The speed, the operating system, the look, the screen, the ai camera, the battery life. It was by far the biggest jump in upgrade for a phone ive had in 15 years. One drawback, no 4g in the us. It was my first international phone so i wasnt fully knoledgeable about the purchase. I returned it and got this Mate20 lite. Roughly the same price you get a lower specd processor, and no ai chip. The ai functions well on this lower speced processor, and i did have the phones side by side for a few days before i sent the play packing. side by side tests, the mate is slower on facial recognition, camera isnt as good (front camera is as good or better though), and it seems they have the exact same display. I ran a benchmark (3d mark) on both phones since there was no info on the kirin 710. I got a dismal 930 Sling Shot Extreme OpenGL ES 3.1. Slin Shot Extreme-Vulkan 1126. Signifigantly less than the honor play (around 2900 points ins slingshot extreme). At first i was worried, but after a few weeks of use i cant really tell a difference. i dont play games but for every day use the phone has been great.
