Verdict: A solid contender for the mid-range, but competition is crazy AF

Huawei’s P20 Lite is yet another extremely solid smartphone release. From the looks of it Huawei can do no wrong with their new product launches lately, delivering phones with really solid specs and performance with fair pricing.

However, the mid-range space has never been as crowded and competitive as it is now. The F7 is the best phone OPPO’s released in a while and Vivo’s V9 is a compelling choice at the price point. ASUS’ ZenFone 5Q is another solid competitor at the space, undercutting the offerings of the two dominant “selfie” focused manufacturers. Huawei has their job cut out for them, and if they really are serious about competing – and winning – at the mid-range space, they will have to think long and hard about the eventual pricing of the P20 Lite when it finally launches at the end of the month.
