Samsung introduced the Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note10 Lite. Both are
built around 6.7" FullHD+ Infinity-O displays and pack 4,500mAh batteries
with 25W fast charging support.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite is
powered by a 7nm chipset featuring an octa-core CPU that has its clusters
running at 2.8GHz, 2.4GHz and 1.7GHz. While not explicitly confirmed it matches
the Snapdragon 855 perfectly.The platform will be coupled with 6GB or 8 GB RAM
and 128GB storage. A microSD card slot enables further storage expansion.
The features a trio of cameras
- main 48MP shooter with f/2.0 aperture, 123-degree FoV ultrawide angle f/2.2
lens sitting in front of a 12MP sensor and a 5MP macro shooter. The
front-facing camera in the punch hole has a 32MP sensor and an f/2.2 lens. More
excitingly the Galaxy S10 Lite is the first Samsung phone to feature the
company's new Super Steady OIS for its main camera, which is said to offer even
better stabilization than its flagships.
The Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite
comes complete with an S Pen with Air Command support. On the front it has the
exact same 32MP camera embedded in the punch hole on its 6.7” FullHD+ display. The
company didn't reveal the actual chipset inside this one, but confirmed it is
built on a 10nm process and comes with an octa-core CPU with four cores at 2.7
GHz and four more at 1.7 GHz. This sounds like an Exynos 9810 with slightly
downclocked CPU. RAM is again 6/8GB and the storage is 128GB, but you can add
to it via microSD cards.
There are three cameras on the
back - 12 MP f/1.7 main shooter with Dual Pixel AF and OIS, 12 MP f/2.2
ultrawide angle cam and a 12 MP f/2.4 telephoto snapper. Interestingly enough
the Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite comes with a 3.5mm audio jack - something the
regular Galaxy Note10 phones lacked. Conversely the Galaxy S10 Lite lacks a
legacy audio port even though all three Galaxy S10 phones so far had it.
The Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy
Note10 Lite will ship with Android 10 out of the box that has One UI 2 on top. The
first one will be sold in Prism White, Prism Black, or Prism Blue color, while
the latter will be offered in either Aura Glow, Aura Black, or Aura Red paint
jobs.
The phones will go on sale by
the end of Q1. The Galaxy Note10 Lite will cost € 599, while the Galaxy S10 Lite
is € 649.
