Huawei Mate 20 Lite SNE-LX3 64GB (Factory Unlocked) 6.3 FHD (International Version) (Sapphire Blue)

[Cons] 1. Disable wi-fi calling to avoid not receiving calls and text. Follow page 2 of https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/help/issues-receiving-calls-text-t3869291/ to download QuickShortcutMaker app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut&hl=en_US to find wi-fi calling activity and disable it. 2. With the latest OS update, I found that wifi hotspot causes 06 Mbps slow download. upload is about 10Mbps. There is some kind of bug in the hotspot feature. [Pros] 1. I thought I had to buy Huawei Mate 20 to really find a competitive phone compared to the most expensive 2018 iPhone. I already have a Ticwatch c2 with Google pay so I was reluctant to spend $600 for the Mate 20 which has NFC. This LITE version does not have NFC for Google pay. But the price offered here is excellent. A review says 1080p at 60fps makes soft video but Id barely change video settings and dont need to use any video over 1080p. The camera isnt as good as Mate 20 in low light but thats something I can tolerate. 5 stars to the price. 2. the 12 nm Kirin 710 processor isnt as bad as I thought. Geekbench 4 score of 1600 is comparable to Snapdragon 660s near 1640. I dont feel slowness Opening apps except I heard games maybe slow. iPhones A12 processors are known to have high geekbench score and optimized for gaming. If you check company emails, social media, G suite, online banking, make calls, do video conferencing, you wouldnt feel a difference. 3. Face unlock and printer unlock are seamless. Face unlock may have difficulties in complete darkness. I like the feature to wake the phone when I pick it for better face unlock experience. Headphone jack is great for not needing an extra adapter to plug the headsets. I dont use Bluetooth headsets so having a headphone jack is important to me.

This is my second Huawei phone I bought. So for all you first timer and a bit skeptical, I can understand your thoughts initially. But let me assure you this phone is excellent!!! I have used Samsung phones, iPhone and Huawei phones. I can tell you it works the same and at times surpasses the others. It doesnt get hot during recharging like the other two. Life of battery is EXCELLENT. Camera resolution, on par as those of the other two cell phone brand. I really cannot find any drawback in this phone. You may need a little time to get adjusted to the operating software, but it is still Android based and it should take no time to get adjusted. And to be quite honest, in terms of internet usage, Huawei surpasses the other two brand. Its more reliable and faster. The best part is, the price is unbeatable!!! In todays age where cell phones are becoming standard commodity, there is no need to spend USD 1K for a cell phone. This Huawei will do the job just fine. Plus more for a few hundred bucks!!! CANT BEAT THIS DEAL!!!

So far Ive used this sucker for about 3 months. The battery life is exceptional. The phone is super smart and tells you when there are battery sucking apps being ran in the background so you can shut them off. My one complaint so far is that I have to use the same ding for my emails as my text messages. So when I here the tone, I never know if it was an email or a text. Overall, Im in love. I never thought I would have anything other than a Samsung. I was in love with my Note 3. And then my Note 4. But for the price, this phone is everything I want and need. Unless something better comes along, I forsee myself being a Huawei customer for life.

I really liked this phone. Snappy, decent camera and fantastic battery. But it has a major issue, it has very poor to non existent support for T-Mobile LTE in the US even though the specs and description says it supports LTE bands, 2/4/12. After being in one location like my home or office, it would stop receiving calls and they would be sent straight to voicemail. Once it starts, the only option is turning off 4G or turning airplane mode off and on to get it to be recognized by the network. I was told that it is because the phone does not support VoLTE and would fail when dropping to 3G to receive a call. Now I knew the phone did not support VoLTE, but neither did my last phone and it worked flawlessly. I reset the phone, got a replacement SIM and spent many hours trying to solve this. The worst part is calling worked fine and I did not even know I had an issue until a client tried to get a hold of me and I would not pick up. He ended up contacting someone else for support and I lost the job. He did leave a message, but the message didn’t show up until I reconnected to the network. So, I loss nearly $500 because of it. Overall I am really upset that this did not work. It seems to be a really nice phone, just not for US T-Mobile. Also, when researching it seems this will be an issue with AT&T and any GSM carrier in the US as they all use ether T-Mobile or AT&T towers.

First I buy this phone is one of my friend told me the camera is Leica, when I received it Won’t let me down ! The android ststym is not too bad either Just need little bit study to get used to it You will live the phone for sure

Got two of Mate 20 Lites for my parents. Theyve upgraded from older Samsungs. They are in shock - battery life is unbelievable! Two days of use easily. I myself have P20 Pro, so Im not surprised. Mate 20 Lite for close to $200 bucks... Not sure if there is a real competition to what the phone offers.

Just want to post this review in case anyone is considering purchasing via Amazon (mainly from another region, but this also applies to US citizens considering traveling), it may save a bit of heartache. Bought this phone (SNE-LX3) new 9 months ago (September 2019). Phone was used regularly -and liked - for a few months when the handset developed a reboot problem seemingly after a software update - i.e. rebooting randomly at first, the issue then progressed to rebooting to erecovery screen and eventually to bootloop - from which erecovery screen could be reached by holding down power+vol down. I downloaded the update several times from erecovery screen to no avail - the problem seemed to get worse each time but this may be just a sentiment resulting from frustration on my part. Also, this would not appear to be an isolated problem with this device - Huawei have a page dedicated to resolving issues such as this on their website and mention this type of fault. Contacted Huawei and arranged for the phone to be sent in for repair - returned un-repaired due to this being a US device - (currently residing in EU - so EU purchasers beware). Contacted Huawei again about returning to a repair centre in US. The response was as follows - some Huawei devices are manufactured to only work in specific regions and therefore your device is out of warranty - note for any US citizen traveling abroad who may have this unit. So left with paperweight. Cannot unlock bootloader to reinstall a previous version of the firmware to see if this will fix the problem - Huawei no longer allow this and so will not provide bootloader unlock codes. Pity as it was a nice phone - I have purchased 3 Huawei devices (tablet and 2 phones) - no more.....

Love the features... But screen broke in 2 weeks... Well i had a terrible fall... So i dont think its the phones fault. In fact the Phone is working perfectly even after the broken screen

This is my second Huawei phone. I got this one on amazons next day shipping, slapped in my sim card, and I was good to go. First of all, the battery life is awesome. All day on a charge easily. It sips power like my Corolla sips gas. The screen is amazing. Everything works great. There is a feature where you can swipe left on the home screen and it will bring up articles Google thinks I want to see. That will crash on occasion, but it just reverts to the home screen. People cannot believe how cheaply I got this thing. If I had 700 to spend I would have gotten the One Plus 7. But I got this for 230.00 and I am very happy.

I love this phone! Its packed full of features. I could go on and on about what this phone does. The specs are really good, and it does not feel like 6.3 inches because it is really narrow so it still fits in your pocket. The only thing is, the first one I ordered worked great, and then about 2 weeks in got a glitch, so i told amazon about it, not knowing what else to do and they told me to return it. So I ordered another one and paid more because the price went up, but this one is worse. The 1st one, the facial recognition worked like 95%, and everything else was great too. But this one I have now ; the facial rec only works like 87% my Google Assistant has been not working correctly all the time and thats becoming more frequent it seems, my fingerprint wont administer if my fingers are damp or sweaty (which did not happen ever with the last one) my fingerprint scanner wont pull down my menu on occasion, and a few more things. This time I dont know whether to think I got a bad unit or if this phone just stops being great after about 2 weeks. I really dont want to ask for a refund though since I already had one last time I ordered this product. And even if I do, I love the features so I would probably just order it again an d hope everything works right this time
