Product Information

Ideal for photography fans and ready for 5G as well, the phone can be found for less via the hotukdeals Huawei P40 Pro listings. Choose from the bright blue Aurora tone, the soothing oranges of Amber Sunrise or the laid-back light blue of Crystal. In the trade-off you lose the 2x zoom camera, get a less capable main camera and a less powerful CPU. Detailed and comprehensive information about our 'condition' criteria can be found on every product page, so take a look. The back of the P30 Lite features a dewdrop design, which means it's got a curved back panel that sits more comfortably in your palm.

But the screen resolution on the S10 is superior – potentially impacting the experience of Netflix streamers and gamers.In practice, the Exynos processor on the S10 and the Kirin on the P30 will perform in a very similar fashion. Instead, the phone comes with Huawei's own Huawei P40 pro Android build, with app replacements for Google tools.

The cameras have consistently outperformed even more expensive competition – a major hook for everyday smartphone fans.

As TechRadar has found, the P40 Pro offers a “superb photography experience”, both for daytime and low light situations. The P30 Lite New Edition comes up bumped up storage - 256 GB in fact - so you've got a ton of space for all your photos, media content and apps.

Possibly the most important thing to know about the P40 Pro is that no Google apps are included, such as Maps or YouTube. This means that 1080p/60fps files occupy roughly half the space they used to on the phone’s storage. The P30 Lite is powered by Huawei’s own low-powered Kirin 710 mobile processor; a step down from the nippy Kirin 980 chip found in both the regular P30 and P30 Pro. Brightness is the one aspect that still seems a step down, having used the P30 Pro for several weeks beforehand.Then you'll need to tell us which 'network' your Huawei P30 Lite is connected to - or if it's 'unlocked' and free to connect to any provider. It scores 837 (1365 using the Vulkan API) in 3D Mark’s Sling Shot Extreme test, to the Pixel 3a XL’s 1630 (1542 using Vulkan). You can choose the “vivid” colour mode if you prefer, although this is a little bit too oversaturated for my tastes. Following on from the popular P30, the P40 gets very, very close to Samsung or Apple performance, just without the presence of Google apps.

The body of the phone is constructed of plastic, but feels sturdy in the hand and looks attractive thanks to its design and finish.

Signs of wear on the body and screen, may have visible dents and scratches that do not affect the performance of the phone. So, to summarise: the P30's main appeal revolves around its triple cameras, while the S10 offers better memory, charging and screen resolution.
