  1. Price

There is a significant price difference between the two phones, as Xiaomi is sold at EGP 4,333 while Huawei is sold at EGP 5,650 or even higher prices at certain retailers.

  1. Operating system

Xiaomi is mobile phone affiliated with Google’s Android One project, which is one of its pros, as it comes with a simple Android version, close to the one on Google’s Pixel phones. This is expected to make the performance of Mi A1 much better than that of Mate 10 Lite, which comes with a heavy EMUI interface that can negatively affect the performance of the phone.

  1. Updates

Another reason to choose Xiaomi over Huawei is the speed of receiving updates in the former compared to the latter. Since Xiaomi is part of the Android One project, it will receive updates quickly, whether they are security or main updates. The phone already received an update in November and is expected to receive the Oreo update before the end of this year. Google has announced that it will be one of the first phones to receive the Android P update next year.

On the other hand, Huawei Mate 10 Lite is still using the Android 7.0 Nougat version and Huawei does not really care to send it security updates, so the November update could be received in January. Also, it is not known when the phone will receive the Oreo update and whether or not it will receive the Android P update.

  1. Camera

Mi A1 is considered the phone with the best camera in this price category, besides Motorola’s Moto G5 Plus. The phone can also shoot 4K videos, while Mate 10 Lite only shoots 1080p videos.

  1. Recharging

Mi A1 supports fast charging, while Mate 10 Lite does not.

  1. Latest port

  1. Protection layer

The screen of Mi A1 comes with a Gorilla Glass protection layer, while Mate 10 Lite does not have a protection later.

  1. IR Sensor
