While the Huawei Mte 20 Lite has a Kirin 710 , manufactured by the Chinese firm itself, and which is the Chinese standard mid-range processor, having only been overshadowed by the new Kirin 810 and Kirin 820.

Price and conclusion

The truth is that they are two quite similar phones in terms of performance , although the Snapdragon of the Xiaomi is more widespread. This also stands out for a higher resolution main camera, and a slightly larger battery, as well as a smaller notch. Instead the Huawei clearly wins the game in the dual front camera , something quite exotic for this mid-range.

Huawei Mate 20 Lite

If we compare the price, 169 euros for the Xiaomi and 205 euros for the Huawei Mate 20 Lite , even more expensive the Mate 30 Lite, it is evident that the best choice right now is that of the Redmi Note 7 .

The price difference between the two does not justify that dual camera on the Huawei, unless this aspect is vital for you, making the best selfies. Be that as it may, they are two excellent phones for the price they cost, although we believe that the Xiaomi is a better purchase at the moment, what do you think?
