hey guys Chris Colin from Android authority here taking a quick look at the equal P 10 alight which launched a few weeks ago well we've just had our first hands-on experience let's dive in and I mean that literally because why we decided to emphasize the lightness of the P 10 light by taking us to an indoor skydiving center which is not to say that the phone is actually any lighter than the regular P 10 because it's not in fact it actually has a slightly larger screen than the regular P 10 and that's because the light vary in terms of why we p-series are more of their own sub-brand than they are variations on the flagship theme light in the name refers to the majority of the specs in the phone and they'd range chipset single non like a branded camera smaller internal storage and so on you can use about watering those specs down the little bo is that you'll pay significantly less for the P 10 light than you would for the regular p10 or its larger sibling the P 10 plus it's just 349 euros the P 10 light is half the price of the P 10 plus and 300 euros cheaper than the regular P 10 while that price certainly fits the specs in style here there's nothing much on the outside to make this look like either flagship device the design here is almost exactly like the p9 life which is also known as the p8 Lite 2017 in some markets complete with rear mounted fingerprint scanner like some light series predecessors it features a glass back rather than the metal found on v9 and P 10 well while the color options do include that great shade of blue your notes from the P 10 there's also a black gold or white version speaking of design the p10 light isn't nicely put together phone as most employees devices are it has a 5.2 inch full HD IPS LCD display surrounded by those same chamfered edges you'd know from previous P series devices and really small bezels for a mid-range phone in fact the bezels on the p10 light match up almost exactly for those found on the flagship p10 however if specs are essentially those of the entry-level p9 - for high-end processor and dual like a camera on the software front though you're basically getting the exact same experience you'll know from the P 10 and P 10 Plus Android 7.0 and emui 5.1 all onboard as well as an option for the after all along with all the familiar flyway features you'd know and love on the camera front there's a single 12 megapixel shooter that as I mentioned does not have the like a branding so you won't get the same results you'll get from the pecan or P 10 plus but you will still get similar image processing some of the photos I took turned up pretty good but don't expect too much from moving subjects poorly lit environment or the front-facing 8 megapixel camera generally while the P 10 light doesn't have the fancy black and white sensors for capturing fine detail like the P 10 it does have a monochrome filter in the camera app as well as a full manual mode I took the same photo on the P 10 light and the regular PE 10 one using a monochrome filter and the other using a dedicated black-and-white sensor and you can see they're not actually that far apart in terms of quality there's links in the description if you want to check out the full images video quality is pretty decent too but the lack of image stabilization quite noticeable in certain condition for example when filming while walking but the feet sunlight still has 4 gig of ram so you should give if storage expandable via microSD dual sim a 3000 milliamp hour battery with micro USB headphone port and an IR blaster it even has NFC so there's plenty of specs here to keep you happy but the price has crept up 50 euros since the p9 light while the basic specs package hasn't really improved any more than you would expect it to in a year while the p10 light is probably still a good buy just it's starting to creep into the territory of much better equipped competition like a 1 + 3 T and on an 8 floors of judgement until a full review of course but in the meantime you can keep an eye out at retailers in the UK and across mainland Europe unfortunately no details have been released so fast for a North American launch but you can stay tuned to Android Authority comm for all the latest on the p10 light and it's like siblings to P 10 and P 10 +
