The 5 differences between the huawei p9 lite and huawei p10 lite
Table of contents:
Huawei made the Huawei P10 Lite official in mid-March. The device has a continuous design with respect to the previous generation, although it has slightly improved in the technical section. Now that the P10 Lite and the Huawei P9 Lite come together in the same catalog, which one would be more worthwhile when purchasing? Both have a similar design and feature a screen with the same dimensions. The improvements we will see in the processor, RAM or storage. Also the battery has changed slightly for the better and the operating system has evolved to Nougat.
You are at the perfect time to decide. From today until April 23, Huawei has many of its products without VAT applied. Among them we find these two phones. The usual prices are 350 for the P10 Lite and 325 euros for the P9 Lite. Imagine how much you can save if you buy one of the two now. If you're not very determined yet, pay close attention to the five key differences we found.
1. Design
There are few differences in the design of the Huawei P9 Lite and Huawei P10 Lite. Still we found some. Both are made of metal and feature slightly rounded edges for a better grip. There is no denying that they are stylish. They have a sophisticated and simple touch that makes them perfect for the mid-range. Apparently they look like twin brothers. Of course, the P10 Lite is somewhat slimmer and more stylish. Its exact measurements are 146.5 x 72 x 7.2 millimeters and its weight is 146 grams. Those of the P9 Lite are 146.8 x 72.6 x 7.5 millimeters. The terminal weighs one more gram, 147 grams.
Huawei P9 Lite
This year Huawei has not changed the size of the screen in its new Lite. Which means that it is still maintained at 5.2 inches and in Full HD resolution. In this section we would not find any changes.
2. Processor and memory
One of the big differences between the P9 Lite and the P10 Lite is the processor. Last year's model is powered by an eight-core. Specifically a Kirin 650 manufactured by Huawei itself. Four of the cores work at a speed of 2 GHz and the other four work at 1.7 GHz. This chip is accompanied by 2 or 3 GB of RAM, to be chosen by the user.
Huawei P10 Lite
The Huawei P10 Lite, meanwhile, offers a higher powered SoC. In his case he mounts a Kirin 655, an eight-core processor running at a clock speed of 2.1 GHz. This chip is accompanied by a 4 GB RAM, so it is faster and faster than its older brother. When it comes to internal storage capacity, we also find differences. While the P9 Lite has a 16 GB one, that of the P10 Lite is 32 GB. Both can be expanded by using microSD-type cards.

3. Camera
The photographic section is another of the most significant differences of these two teams. The Huawei P9 Lite has a 13 megapixel BSI AF main sensor accompanied by an LED flash. The front camera has an 8 megapixel resolution sensor, perfect for selfies. The P10 Lite, despite all the odds, has a 12 megapixel main camera with flash. Although the resolution is somewhat lower, the pixels are 1.25 microns in size. This means that better quality images are expected. The secondary camera remains at 8 megapixels, neither more nor less.

4. Software
How could it be otherwise, this year Huawei has decided to introduce a current software version in the P10 Lite. In this way, the new terminal is governed by Android 7 along with the new EMUI 5.1 customization layer. This new interface is simpler and faster. It also has a minimalist design, easier for the user. The P9 Lite arrived with Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.1. In any case, it may be updated shortly. We take this opportunity to encourage you to take a look at the Huawei update calendar.

5. Battery
Finally, another of the differences we will find in the battery. Although, yes, the differences are very small. The Huawei P9 Lite equips a 3.o00 mAh. That of the P10 Lite is 3,100 mAh. It should be added that none of them offers the possibility of fast charging. In his favor we can say that this is not so important. They promise a good autonomy if we take into account their characteristics.
