The first Mate 20 variant is official
With all the leaks that have surfaced, Huawei announced the Mate 20 Lite at IFA 2018 ahead of the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro. The new mid-range phone bears the same camera and fingerprint layout from the Mate 10 Pro.
Just like last year’s Mate 10 Lite (known as the Nova 2i locally), the Mate 20 Lite sports four cameras: 20-megapixel and 2-megapixel rear cameras and 24-megapixel and 2-megapixel front cameras.
Like its higher-end Mate siblings, the Mate 20 Lite sports a glass back and USB-C with fast charging.
It's time to achieve more with higher performance.
With 4 x AI powered cameras, a 6.3” Fullview display & a stylish finish, the #HuaweiMate20lite is the smartphone which will help you own tomorrow.
