Archive.org versionThe Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is an odd beast: a smartphone without a well-defined target audience. But with a solid camera system, a good screen, the unique S Pen and more, it easily does enough to stand toe-to-toe with others at the same ‘flagship-lite’ price point, if never besting them.

Archive.org versionIf you wanted “The Galaxy Note” experience but did not want to spend as much, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite is your answer to those prayers. Actually, if you want a really different Android flagship at a price of around Rs 40,000, this is perhaps the best device out there. We used to say that about a Never Settling brand not too long ago.

Archive.org versionThe Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is a strange beast. At €600 (about $680), it costs much less than your regular Galaxy Note 10, but it’s not as light on features as one might think. We’ve got a high-tier processor, the coveted S Pen, a gorgeous display, and the nearly extinct headphone jack. The camera is quite good, and the build materials still feel premium.

Archive.org versionThe Galaxy Note10 Lite is one of the few, if not the only, smartphone in its price range with a stylus. While it has hardware that’s a bit long in the tooth, that does not dismiss the fact that it’s still a potent performer with immense battery life, a huge and vibrant display and a solid rear camera array. If you want the Galaxy Note experience, this is currently the most affordable and effective way to experience it now.

Archive.org versionThere's a lot to love about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite. The Aura Red shade is something to behold, and the screen is massive (and beautiful). If the price is right, this phone might be worth buying.

Archive.org versionSamsung tried to challenge the upper mid-range series of smartphone with Galaxy A series, but it doesn’t pan out as expected. In this regard, the South Korean tech giant has changed its road map by launching a new smartphone in a price segment it had not concentrated much on in the last few years.

Archive.org versionThe Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite figures to be a good low-cost alternative to the Galaxy Note 10, if you don't mind giving up wireless charging and settling for a less powerful processor.

Archive.org versionGo for the Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite if, and only if, the S Pen is going to be of immense value to you and you see yourself completely invested in making use of it. The Note10 Lite manages to do most things right, and as a stylus-sporting smartphone, at Rs 38,990, it has zero competition in this price segment. This is the Note10 Lite’s only USP though.

Archive.org versionUnlike the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, the Note 10 Lite sports a headphone jack and has the S Pen Stylus which helps it stand out. However, the use of a two-year old processor is not a good move in our books. The Galaxy Note 10 Lite will appeal to someone who wants the Note experience without paying full price for it.

Archive.org versionThe S-Pen is what makes this device unique in this segment, but the old processor acts as a handicap. The Samsung Galaxy Note10 Lite may not be the fastest smartphone in this segment, but it’s a consistent performer.

Archive.org versionThe Galaxy Note 10 Lite the perfect phone if you want to look important without spending a bomb. It’s also great for watching movies and consuming multimedia content on it. However, if photography or gaming is what you’re looking for from your next smartphone then there are better options for you.

Archive.org versionIs the Galaxy Note 10 Lite a flagship smartphone or a premium mid-range smartphone? Well, that’s not an important question. What is important to me is that a phone like the Galaxy Note 10 Lite never existed before in this price range. It might not be as powerful as the Galaxy Note 10+, but it’s an achievement to see a device like the Galaxy Note 10 Lite that tries to create a perfect balance between super-premium and affordability.

Archive.org versionIf you can stretch your budget and don’t mind not having an S Pen, headphone jack, and a telephoto camera, you can opt for the Galaxy S10 Lite, which offers even faster performance, a flagship-grade AMOLED display, and slightly better battery life from the same capacity battery. But if it’s the S Pen you’re after or just an all-rounder upper mid-ranger from Samsung, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite is an excellent smartphone that you won’t regret spending your hard-earned money on.

Archive.org versionWith the Galaxy Note10 Lite, however, you now have a third option. In a package more affordable than the Note10 and Note10+ (even half-price in some markets!) you're getting the S Pen, latest software, and some of the best image quality from a non-flagship device. The aging top-tier chipset is still a better option than the beefiest of current midrange alternatives, there's battery life to spare and the display is easily good enough, if not the absolute best. So, yes, the Galaxy Note10 Lite is well worth considering if you're looking for a stylus inside a great all-round phone, but you would rather not pay the heavy Note10 price.

Archive.org versionMy main reason why the Galaxy Note10 Lite is a logical phone for Samsung. That is because there are many people who waited for the Note10 to come out so that it’ll drive the price of the Note9 down. But when that happened, the lower-specced, cheaper Galaxy Note9 is already out of stock. So, the Note10 Lite is here to take up that spot.

Archive.org versionTo conclude, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is loaded with a host of interesting features and the addition of S Pen sure looks promising. The display looks good and the design language is decent. The performance will one area where it would interesting to see whether it can give a stiff competition to the rivals or not. As for the competition is concerned, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite will face stiff competition from OnePlus 7T Pro, Realme X2 Pro, Redmi K20 Pro, Asus 6Z, LG G8 ThinQ and more.

Archive.org versionBoth smartphones look very promising indeed and look set to offer their renowned flagship grade tech and user experience at a more accessible price point than ever before which is very promising indeed. It’s very likely that both the Galaxy S10 Lite and Note10 Lite will make it to Malaysia in the near future. Stay tuned to Hitech Century for more news and updates on both these unique new Samsung phones.

Archive.org versionWhile the tech media may scoff at the idea of a watered-down flagship, the Lite makes a lot more sense than we originally gave credit. Yes, it undermines the series flagship. But by offering better battery life potential and solid features, overall we suspect the public who don't want to spend big will flock to this device.

Archive.org versionI first thought having a cheaper Note device might devalue the brand, however after spending a bit of time with it I can see this making far more sense than the Galaxy S10 Lite just because it brings the S Pen to wider audience. Price will of course show how much of a better deal this than buying an older Note but I think Samsung has made a good move by offering some of the classic Note features in a device that isn't a flagship.

Archive.org versionThe Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite name is an oddity when the Samsung Galaxy S11 is due to have its launch event on Tuesday, February 11, and the same goes for the simultaneously-announced Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite. But looking beyond this, there's good reason for Samsung to put an S Pen on a cheaper phone, especially with millennial-friendly remote selfie features and Live Messages (see photo above).

Nevertheless, the former phone will be available in Prism White, Prism Black, and Prism Blue. Meanwhile, the Note 10 Lite will be available in Aura Glow, Aura Black, and Aura Red.

Archive.org versionThe Galaxy S10 Lite's battery and processor could put it ahead of the Android competition. An ultra-low price would seal the deal. We're curious to see how the S10 Lite's cameras, particularly the outlandish 48-MP wide-angle lens and the 5-MP macro lens, stack up against the device's pricier predecessors.

Model:
The Samsung Galaxy Note series can be said to have its very own ardent fans who want the best of its features but fear high prices. Well, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is aimed at those ardent fans who want the best of both worlds: the features and the price. The Note 10 Lite costs half as much as its variant, the Note 10+, despite having an S Pen, a large battery and quite decent internal storage to start with. One of the features of the Galaxy Note 10 Lite that can be raved about includes the uninterrupted display with a 6.7-inch screen size and Full-HD, which creates a rather premium and immersive user experience. The signature S Pen offers a different level of productivity and creativity through its enhanced features such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) which supports navigation of presentations, control over video contents or picture taking with just a simple click of the S Pen. In addition, the air command will provide easy and quick access to the signature S Pen features.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite also provides a larger and longer-lasting battery that reduces the need for frequent recharging. The large 4,500mAh battery with a super-fast charging capability is the reason for that. Samsung’s ecosystem of apps and services such as Bixby, Samsung Pay and Samsung Health as well as protection with the defence-grade security platform Samsung Knox are well incorporated features that anyone can find within the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite. As far as the storage are concerned, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite comes with 6 or 8 GB of RAM with an accompanying 128 GB of internal storage for the consumers’ ease of use. The Operating System (OS) is Android 10.0. The 32-megapixel front camera is a craved feature by photography-loving buyers, as it is definitely a dream-come-true situation for them. Despite having a much more affordable price, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite has a better front camera resolution than its rather expensive variant, the Galaxy Note 10+ with only a 10-megapixel front camera. However, the Galaxy Note 10+ offers water resistance, which is not the case with the current Galaxy Note 10 Lite.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is available in three different colours: Aura Black, Aura Glow and Aura Red. It is worth mentioning that this variant will not be released in the US market, as it is mainly targeting the global market and countries like India and China. This is due to the fact that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is primarily designed to deliver the key features of the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ to a much wider audience in a more affordable price range.
