Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Huawei P40 Lite (6GB + 128GB)

  • Excellent value for money with high performance for its price bracket
  • Remarkable 40W fast charging (70% in 30 minutes) and long battery life
  • Capable Kirin 810 processor providing smooth multitasking and gaming
  • High-quality primary 48MP/64MP camera for clear photos in good lighting
  • Fast and reliable side-mounted fingerprint sensor
  • Retains the 3.5mm headphone jack

What we don't like about Huawei P40 Lite (6GB + 128GB)

  • Complete lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS), meaning no Play Store or Google Pay
  • Difficulty running specific third-party apps like banking, Uber, and Netflix in HD
  • IPS LCD screen lacks the vibrant colors and deep blacks of OLED competitors
  • Lack of 4K video recording or electronic stabilization
  • Expandable storage limited to Huawei's proprietary and expensive NM cards
  • Plastic build feels less premium compared to earlier models

Verdict

The Huawei P40 Lite is a mid-range smartphone featuring solid specifications including 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Its main characteristics and pros include a capable Kirin 810 processor, a 48MP quad-camera setup, and a large 4200mAh battery with 40W SuperCharge support for rapid charging. The device offers a vivid 6.4-inch Full HD+ "Punch FullView" display. The primary con is the lack of Google Mobile Services (GMS), meaning users must rely on Huawei's AppGallery and alternative methods for apps.
