Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Huawei Mate 10 Lite (4GB + 64GB)

  • Premium aluminum build quality and attractive minimalist design.
  • Large 5.9-inch FullView display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and slim bezels.
  • Fast and accurate rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
  • Good camera performance in daylight with a functional portrait mode on both front and back.
  • Sufficient internal storage (64GB) with microSD expansion support.
  • Smooth performance for daily tasks and moderate use.
  • Includes features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and notification LED.

What we don't like about Huawei Mate 10 Lite (4GB + 64GB)

  • Outdated micro-USB port instead of the modern USB-C.
  • Slow charging speeds, taking over 2.5 hours for a full charge.
  • Disappointing video recording quality, lacking 4K support and fine detail.
  • Poor low-light photography with visible noise and loss of detail.
  • Lacks modern connectivity features such as NFC and 5GHz Wi-Fi support.
  • No official IP-rated water or dust resistance.
  • Emotion UI (EMUI) can feel clunky or outdated to some users.

Verdict

The Huawei Mate 10 Lite, a mid-range smartphone released in late 2017, features a 5.9-inch Full HD+ (2160x1080) FullView display with an 18:9 aspect ratio, powered by the octa-core Kirin 659 processor. It comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. Its main selling point is the quad-camera system—dual cameras on both the front (13MP + 2MP) and rear (16MP + 2MP)—offering bokeh effects for portraits. Pros include its modern large-screen design for the time, solid build quality, and versatile camera options. Common cons include the use of a micro-USB port instead of the more modern USB-C, the Kirin 659 processor's average performance compared to competitors, and the phone launching with the older Android 7.0 (Nougat) OS.
