Karamchand Rameshwar - Feb 27, 2020

Huawei P40 Lite is considered as the renamed version of Huawei Nova 6 SE - the mid-range smartphone that Huawei introduced in China last December.

Huawei is expected to officially launch the Huawei P40 series on March 26, including the Huawei P40, P40 Pro and P40 Premium Edition. Just a month before the event, the Chinese manufacturer has just introduced the first member of this series called Huawei P40 Lite.
