Shaun Taylor Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Anybody on here got experience using the Huawei P30 lite as I'm looking for a new sim free smartphone and noticed the new P30 lite with 256gb and 6gb ram is on offer for £190 which is a fair price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 I have a P20 and love it. I think the only issue with Huawei now is the lack of access to Google Playstore etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 I've got the P30, you'd have to look at what the difference is between that and the lite version but I absolutely love it. The camera is excellent and is all I use on holidays nowadays. You can use everything Google and I think that issue has been sorted for the foreseeable with all current Huawei phones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your feedback as your obviously happy with the Huawei brand as I didn't know too much about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't even get started on the fools that pay 3/4 times over the odds for Apple products. The P30 will be a far superior device to any iphone currently on the market.

I'm the same and cant understand people paying upto a £1000 for an iPhone as I could buy two TV's for that and would get ten years out of them!

I can understand that for people who get the latest new iPhone, but I have an iPhone 7 and a MacBook and they are easily the best things technology wise I have ever purchased. They are so easy to use, look good, perform well for what I need and have NEVER crashed, frozen or had any software/hardware issues(except for below). Unlike every Android phone I've had and my work laptop. The backlight failed on my MacBook 3 weeks ago and it was 2 months out of warranty. They couldn't fix it instore, so replaced the screen under a special COVID warranty they were honouring which saved me £399. When I picked it up, they had also replaced the Processor, touch pad and the finger print recognition for free. Total cost to Apple was £699 according to the receipt. If you use them enough and can justify the, I admit, higher cost, they are excellent devises to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for your input grify and I've been thinking about the iPhone 7 as it's still a quality phone even though it's been around for a few years. What worries me about cheap Chinese phones is the longevity and will they last 2/3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worries me about cheap Chinese phones is the longevity and will they last 2/3 years I prefer a smaller phone as I only really use it to talk to the Mrs so don’t need one that’s the size of a tablet like hers is. It may be the 7s I have. I’ve just got a fancy City shirt protective cover and it has no songs or scratches. I did smash the screen once but was my own fault so will keep this until it dies, and it’s about 3 years so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
