It was launched in March 2018, and current customers can buy it with a price tag of Rs. 19,999 only. As this smartphone is not budget oriented, customers are eager to know whether it supports all the premium features or not. One of them is the waterproof and splashproof feature. Although the official Huawei site does not claim the device to have IP67/68 certified ratings. So our Huawei P20 Lite Waterproof test will reveal whether the device is waterproof or not.
