The maximum brightness of white colour is 450 cd/m2, and of black colour - 0.5 cd/m2. The contrast is 900:1.
Huawei P10 Lite has a vision protection mode that lowers the level of ultraviolet radiation on the screen and thus does not tire the user's eyes when using the smartphone for a long time.
Performance
True to itself, Huawei has put in the Huawei P10 Lite a chip of its own production - HiSilicon Kirin 658: 64 bits, 8 cores - four with a clock speed of 2.36 GHz Cortex-A53 and another four with 1.7 GHz Cortex-A53). The graphics is assigned to the Mali-T830.

The main camera of the Huawei P10 Lite is a 12-megapixel camera with f/2.2 aperture, while the front camera is an 8-megapixel camera with f/2.0. In almost all conditions, the smartphone's camera does its job well. Strangely enough, it's even on par with the flagship Huawei P10. The front camera will amaze you with quality portrait shots.
With this smartphone, you will be able to record videos in FullHD resolution at 30 frames per second.
Autonomous operation
A non-removable Li-Pol battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh is used in this model.

The manufacturer has claimed support for fast charging technology.
