Like their flagship counterparts, the Lite editions of the Galaxy S10 and Note10 are equipped with components like industry-leading camera tech, the brand’s characteristic S Pen, a long-lasting battery and an immersive display.

As the Note series is oriented more towards productivity than the standard S line, the Note 10 Lite supports the S Pen which has Bluetooth Low-Energy Support. This allows for users to “navigate a presentation, control… video content or take a picture, all with a simple click of the S Pen.” Handwritten notes taken with this tool on the device can be converted to text.
Both Lite devices have 6.7-inch screens with a punch-out Infinity-O display, a 4,500 millamp hours battery with fast-charging support, and Samsung’s signature collection of applications like Bixby and Samsung Health.
The Galaxy S10 Lite and Note10 Lite will be on display at CES 2020 which runs Jan. 7 to Jan. 10 in Las Vegas. Though the release date and prices have not yet been announced yet, they are certain to cost less than the flagship models which are priced starting at $899 and $949 (around P46,000 and P48,000), respectively.
