The Honor 10 Lite is Honor's first phone of 2019 in India and it comes as a successor to the mighty popular Honor 9 Lite. Understandably, it has a lot to live up to and it will need to get Honor off to a good start. The Honor 10 Lite works on a formula that the brand is now very comfortable with. It brings a combination of attractive design and decent hardware along with dependable cameras. This is why the honor 9 Lite was so successful last year, and this may be enough for the Honor 10 Lite as well.

Priced starting at Rs 13,999, the Honor 10 Lite is a Flipkart exclusive device and finds itself among the likes of the Realme U1 (Review) and Redmi Note 6 Pro (Review). For this price, the Honor 10 Lite brings a few new features, which includes a waterdrop display and Android Pie out-of-the-box. This combined with a premium design and a capable mid-range Kirin 710 chipset should make for a good start to 2019 for the Huawei sub-brand.

Honor 10 Lite design

Honor is well known for offering attractive smartphones and the Honor 10 Lite sticks to that winning formula. The phone has great ergonomics all around. The first thing you notice when you hold it is how light it weighs. That's thanks to a lot plastic being used here, but that's not to say that the phone looks cheap. On the contrary, the phone looks quite premium. The rear panel will trick you into believing its glass, but it is actually plastic that is made up of an 8 layer process. So it feels very glass-like, and you get the added bonus that it won't shatter into a million pieces when you drop it.

The Honor 10 Lite comes in three colours - Sapphire Blue, a gradient Sky Blue and midnight Black. Our review unit was in Sapphire Blue which is a deep blue colour that looks pretty lush. It does attract fingerprints that's noticeable at certain angles, but probably not as much as the black variant is bound to get. The Sky Blue gradient colour will likely be a favorite among consumers, and it sure looks good in pictures
