Summary
- The Huawei P20 lite (2019) features a larger 6.4-inch IPS LCD display with a higher resolution of 1080 x 2310 pixels, compared to the 6.2-inch 720 x 1680 pixels display of the Sony Xperia L4, resulting in better pixel density and clarity.
- In terms of performance, the P20 lite is powered by the Kirin 710 chipset with a more capable octa-core CPU, while the Xperia L4 uses the Mediatek Helio P22, which may offer lower performance.
- The camera system on the P20 lite includes a 16 MP main sensor with additional ultrawide and macro capabilities, whereas the Xperia L4's 13 MP main camera is less versatile.
- Battery capacity is also higher in the P20 lite at 4000 mAh compared to the L4's 3580 mAh, potentially offering longer usage time.
- Both devices run Android 9.0 (Pie), but the P20 lite has a slightly more advanced EMUI 9.1 interface.
- Both phones share similar build quality with glass fronts and plastic backs, but the P20 lite's larger display and better performance make it a stronger contender overall.
