Huawei P30 Lite review: A best-selling 2019 mid-ranger with a triple camera and dewdrop notch.
The mid-range best-seller before the ban.
P30 Lite added an ultrawide triple camera and a sleeker dewdrop notch to the popular Lite formula, becoming one of 2019's biggest-selling mid-rangers. It was among the last Huawei Lite phones to ship with full Google services before the US trade ban changed everything.
