Huawei P30 Lite is a mid-range smartphone by Huawei launched after the success of the original P30 Pro. The new Huawei P30 Lite doesn’t have the periscope camera feature, which was the main highlight of the device. However, there are many device changes which we can see in the new P30 Lite smartphone.

The possibilities are endless, but only if the new Huawei P30 Lite is properly waterproof and IP68 certified.
