Huawei today launches the Huawei P30 Lite smartphone and it is already up for pre-orders on the company’s website in Canada. Moreover, several online retailers in the Philippines also made the device eligible for pre-order. The Huawei P30 Lite was not the part of the P30 and P30 Pro announcement event in Paris on Tuesday. But, the Chinese smartphone giant waste no time as the P30 Lite is already official within the two days of the P30 launch event. It is a version of Huawei Nova 4e that was introduced earlier this month.
Just like the P30 and P30 Pro, the Huawei P30 Lite also comes with triple rear camera setup. However, the megapixels counts of the three sensors are different in all the three devices. The P30 Lite comes with a Kirin 710 SoC, 6.15-inch FHD+ waterdrop display, up to 6GB RAM and Android 9.0 Pie OS.

It is also available for order in Canada at CA$450 (US$ 335 / Rs. 23,140 approx.) without any contract or with a contract from Freedom Mobile, Fido, Koodo and Videotron with free HUAWEI Band 3 Pro with all pre-orders till April 10th.
Huawei P30 Lite: Specifications, Features
Looking at the CPU configuration of four Cortex-A73 cores at 2.2 GHz and four Cortex-A53 units at 1.7 GHz, the chipset is the HiSilicon Kirin 710 coupled with Mali-G51 GPU and 6GB of RAM.
