Pros and Cons

Honor Magic4 Lite

Strengths

The overall experience of the phone itself, as in going through the UI, everyday use, battery life, charging speeds, all that sort of stuff has been really great.
Magic UI is actually one of my favorite skins that you can find on a smartphone, it's pretty customizable
You can download new wallpapers and themes to customize the overall look of your phone
The icons aren't too garish or anything like that, not a problem, one of my favorite skins along with One UI and stock Android
Battery life is great, charging speeds are fast

Weaknesses

Photos from the main camera are okay, but they don't have that umph to them which is what I found with like Motorola photos and Samsung's when they just add a little bit more saturation to the photos
The ultra wide camera on the Honor Magic 4 Lite unfortunately didn't meet my expectations, color wise it does seem to be a little bit more saturated but that's about it
Video tops out at 1080p at 30 FPS on the rear camera as well as on the front camera
The 2 megapixel macro camera produces some to be expected low resolution photos
I found myself severely let down by the camera experience on all of the Honor phones I've used

Ulefone Armor 21

Honor Magic4 Lite

The Honor Magic4 Lite has left me with mixed emotions. While its overall performance has been impressive, with great battery life, charging speeds, and daily use experience, the camera capabilities have fallen short. The primary 64MP camera produces okay photos, but the ultra-wide option is a letdown, with mediocre color representation and resolution. Portraits taken with the selfie camera are decent, but not as great as some other budget phones I've reviewed. Overall, it's an average experience, making me wonder if Honor has missed the mark on this device.
