Summary
- The Huawei Mate 10 Lite features a glass front and aluminum back, providing a premium build quality, while the Tecno Camon 12 uses a plastic back and frame, making it slightly less robust.
- In terms of display, the Mate 10 Lite has a 5.9-inch IPS LCD with a higher resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels compared to the Camon 12's 6.52-inch display at 720 x 1600 pixels, resulting in better pixel density for the former.
- Performance-wise, both phones have 4GB of RAM and similar storage, but the Mate 10 Lite's Kirin 659 chipset may offer slightly better efficiency than the Helio P22 in the Camon 12.
- Camera capabilities are comparable with both offering a 16 MP rear camera, but the Camon 12 includes a 16 MP front camera for selfies, which the Mate 10 Lite lacks.
- The Camon 12 has a larger 4000 mAh battery compared to the Mate 10 Lite's 3340 mAh, potentially providing longer usage time.
- Finally, the Mate 10 Lite runs on Android 7.0 (upgradable to 8.0), while the Camon 12 operates on a more recent Android 9.0, suggesting a more updated software experience.
