Just last month, Huawei announced the Huawei Y7p in Thailand, which is an entry-level smartphone with a 48MP main camera. This same phone has made its way to Europe but under a new moniker – Huawei P40 Lite E. Get more of the details as you read on.

Huawei P40 Lite E Features
Just as expected, the P40 Lite E comes with Huawei’s App Gallery instead of the Google Play Store (and similar Huawei-branded replacements for Google’s apps).
In case you haven’t come across the details of the Y7p, let me do a recap of its specs. The Huawei P40 Lite E features a 6.39 inch IPS LCD with 720p+ resolution. The display has an 8MP punch hole selfie camera at the upper left corner.
At the back, you will find a triple camera setup which is made up of a 49MP main module (f/1.8 aperture), plus an 8MP ultra wide-angle camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. There is also a fingerprint reader at the back
AI-powered stabilization enables handheld night shots with up to 6 seconds exposure. Additional AI smarts organize photos into 280 categories, allowing easy search in the gallery.

The Huawei P40 Lite E is an LTE phone and supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 5.0, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack and micro USB. The latter is used to charge the 4000mAh battery at 10W.
The P40 Lite E is powered by the Kirin 710F chipset and runs EMUI 9.1 out of the box. A microSD card slot is available to expand the built in 64GB of storage up to 512GB.
Huawei P40 Lite E Price and Availability in Poland
The Huawei P40 Lite E is available in Poland at the moment on the company’s Polish site and it costs just PLN 700 – a temporary discount from PLN 1,168 (€163, down from €272). This is a nice price for a 4GB RAM _ 64GB storage phone. Also, buyers are entitled to a free Huawei Band 4, and shipments commences from March 12, 2020
