The Chinese multinational technology giant, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. just announced a new smartphone in the European region, refreshing their official website for the United Kingdom with the brand new Huawei P30 Lite New Edition. Well the smartphone is not that new as it sounds if we consider it's internal specifications and other details, as it is the same old P30 Lite smartphone that was originally announced back in March of 2019 with a minimal upgrade.
The latest phone the Chinese will keep the design, screen resolution, processor, rear and front cameras, battery, antennas as well as the dimensions exact same from it's predecessor unit also traiting support to Google's services with Android's integration. Yes, we are all well aware of the issues between Huawei and the United States Government, as the manufacturer is banned from working with any companies from the stateside, we may not see the people from China launch any new devices with Google's Android operating system on board, at least until Huawei comes to a solution to the ongoing situation. But we would like to mention that the phone maker had already gained prior approval to use and pre-load Google services onto the existing P30 series of smartphones that was launched in the past, without violating the US Ban imposed on Huawei.
So apparently this is the only possible way Huawei can refresh their lineup and offer their customers with newer phones that run on Android's OS. The only difference from the old device and newly debuted version is in terms of it's upgraded memory and internal storage space. This time around with the New Edition we will see a hiked 6GB RAM and 256GB of ROM come along and the will be available in United Kingdom first carrying a price tag of Pound Sterling equivalent to $388.68. The devices ships painted in Midnight Black, Pearl White, Peacock Blue and Breathing Crystal color options.
