Performance
Under the hood, the Huawei Mate 10 Lite is powered by the Kirin 659 chipset coupled with an octa-core CPU configuration (4x2.36 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.7 GHz Cortex-A53). This setup, alongside the Mali-T830 MP2 GPU, offers smooth performance for everyday tasks and moderate gaming. The phone ships with Android 7.0 Nougat and can be upgraded to Android 8.0 Oreo, running Huawei’s EMUI 5.1 skin, which provides additional features and a distinct user interface. In terms of memory, the device offers 64GB of internal storage paired with 4GB of RAM. Users can expand storage using a microSD card, though it shares the slot with the second SIM card.
