Recently, Counterpoint announced the mobile market monitoring report for the fourth quarter of 2019. The report shows that global smartphone shipments in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 2% , and both Apple and Samsung had 18% market share, while HUAWEI is behind of them, which means that HUAWEI needs to vigorously seize the overseas smartphone market while continuing to consolidate its share in the domestic smartphone market. Now, HUAWEI has officially released a new P40 series model in the European smartphone market-HUAWEI P40 Lite E. According to the official introduction, HUAWEI P40 Lite E is equipped with Hisilicon Kirin 710F processor and 4GB of running memory.

In terms of appearance, HUAWEI P40 Lite E adopts the digging hole screen design often used in flagship mobile phones, and is equipped with a 6.39-inch digging hole screen with a screen ratio of 90.15% and a resolution of 1560 × 720. This situation indicates that the design of the digging hole screen may cover more models in the smartphone market in 2020.Moreover, this shows that under the background of gradually maturing technology, the hardware cost brought by the digging hole screen may have been significantly reduced. It should be noted that although HUAWEI P40 Lite E adopts the design of the hole-screen display, its screen ratio is 90.15%, which is still a certain distance from the flagship mobile phone.

HUAWEI P40 Lite E uses blind hole technology to penetrate the screen backlight layer, and the LCD panel and glass cover completely cover the camera. In addition, HUAWEI P40 Lite E retains the 3.5mm headphone jack. In the case that the current mobile phone manufacturers generally cancel the headphone jack, the existence of HUAWEI P40 Lite E's headphone jack actually helps to form differentiated competition. In the core configuration, HUAWEI P40 Lite E is equipped with Kirin 710F chip. According to the introduction, there is almost no difference in comprehensive performance between Hisilicon Kirin 710F processor and Kirin 710 processor. For this processor, the main benchmark is the 6 series processors of Qualcomm Snapdragon.
