Samsung recently announced two new smartphones — the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite and the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. The two will be showcased at the CES 2020 in Las Vegas.
Despite having “lite” on its names, the smartphones feature impressive specs such as full HD Super AMOLED Infinity-O displays, flagship-grade processors, and punch-hole selfie cameras. On the other hand, being “lite” models mean there are compromises.
The phones may be classified as budget flagships with the Galaxy S10 Lite coming in with a price of EUR 599 (roughly around PHP 34,300) and the Galaxy Note 10 at EUR 649 (PHP 37,100). It could come out cheaper in the Philippines (if it ever comes) as prices locally are usually a bit lower compared to its European counterparts.

Under the hood, it is powered by a 7nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor with 6/8GB RAM, 128GB storage, an expansion microSD card slot, and a 4,500mAh battery with SuperFast Charging.
