Huawei Mate 20 Lite Review | Lite on ideas?

Where's this guy from, sounds northern, apart from putting on a bit of a southern accent here and there using the US pronunciation of Caribbean.

Simetimes my screen looks like the liquid is going crazy like when you press hard on a screen and shadows and lights start to aooear around your finger. Weird thing. Not even touching it. So i dont know if its a software malfunction or correction of color. I noticed twice in the bright sunlight and once at night
