Which one is worthy enough of a showdown against the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro?
Samsung ‘s latest mid-range smartphone, the Galaxy M20 was launched just last month in an aim to tackle the Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Xiaomi which has been slowly capturing the whole market. Accompanied by a few of the other players like Honor, the battle for the best mid-ranger intensifies with every phone that’s launched in this budget. Here we will be comparing the Galaxy M20 with the Honor 10 Lite to see who is worthy enough of a showdown against the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro.
Buyers can choose between 3GB or 4GB of RAM along with 32GB/64GB onboard storage respectively. While the 3GB RAM variant is up for sale at Rs 10,990, interested buyers will have to shell out Rs 12,990 for the 4GB RAM variant.
As for the Honor 10 Lite, the base variant has 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage, retailing for Rs 13,999. There’s a 6GB RAM variant of the phone as well which is available at Rs 17,999.
Out of the two smartphones, the Galaxy M20 is the phone that looks decent while the Honor 10 Lite catches a lot of the eyeballs due to its swanky rear panel. While Samsung and Honor both use polycarbonate for the exterior, the 10 Lite goes a step ahead with the lustrous finishing which is quite reflective. The sides have also been curved a bit towards the edges which makes for a good grip.
The 10 Lite is the thinnest and lightest out of the two at 7.9mm, weighing 162g. Being made from plastic, both the phones are very much vulnerable to scratches, smudges and dents. Having said that, due to the difference in the kind of build, wear and tear marks would easily be visible on the Honor 10 Lite than its Samsung counterpart.
Samsung Galaxy M20 features a 6.3-inch Full HD+ (2340 x 1080 pixels) display while the Honor 10 Lite has a 6.2-inch display. Both the phones have a 19.5:9 aspect ratio due to the waterdrop notch design on the front. The M20’s notch feels a lot more part of the design and the screen than Honor’s implementation of a similar design. The waterdrop notch also allows a relatively larger ~83% screen-to-body ratio than say the Redmi Note 6 Pro which has a standard notch.
While testing out the phones, the display on the Galaxy M20 felt a lot more natural to the eye because of how both the UI and design have been tweaked to feel a part of the phone.
