Most of the changes come with Android 10 and are under the hood. When hooked to an active external amplifier the Galaxy S10 Lite was nicely loud and posted excellent scores top to bottom.Īndroid 10 coupled with in-house One UI 2.0: Compared to the first iteration of One UI, the second version isn’t all that different design-wise. The phone doesn’t have a dedicated 3.5mm audio jack so we used the official Samsung dongle, but if you happen to have a different adapter your experience might vary. Coupled with the 7nm Snapdragon 855 chipset, the S10 Lite performed exceptionally well in our battery tests scoring high on our screen-on and screen-off tests.Īudio quality: We moved on to testing the audio output of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite via its USB-C port. Due to its size, the S10 Lite can hold a significantly bigger battery than its siblings and offers a 4,500 mAh unit. Maybe that’s the reason why it’s so lightweight.īattery life: Battery life probably makes the best case to opt for the Lite version instead of choosing one of the “real S10s”. Samsung calls it Glasstic and it sure does feel like glass but it’s not the real deal. We’ve got the usual glass sandwich chassis but it’s not exactly glass. The back is easily distinguishable due to the camera module design while the front looks a lot like the Galaxy Note10-series with the Infinity-O display design.Īnyway, the build is nothing short of premium. Also, the S10 Lite adopts the popular 48MP sensor with pixel-binning that everyone uses and this is the first time we see this sensor coupled with a high-end hardware.ĭesign and ergonomics: In terms of design, the Galaxy S10 Lite departs from the rest of the S10 family. The S10 Lite also comes with a 6.7-inch screen which makes it the largest S10 devices in the roster (the S10+ is ‘only’ 6.4 inches).Īnd we’ve all heard and seen the stories about the Snapdragon 855’s ISP being better than Samsung’s one on the Exynos so it’s going to be interesting to see how it performs against the S10, for example. Those are some features that are missing from the Galaxy S10-lineup’s specs sheet. Battery life and charging are two of them as the S10 Lite comes with a generous 4,500 mAh unit and supports up to 45W fast charging over the USB Power Delivery standard. In fact, we expect the S10 Lite to perform better than its full-fledged S10 siblings in some scenarios. And if you look at the S10 Lite’s specs sheet closely, you’d notice that there’s nothing Lite about that phone. Because we all thought the S10e was the light model. Now with the release of the Galaxy S10 Lite, things start to get a bit confusing. But it also filled an overlooked niche – compact flagships.
When Samsung launched its Galaxy S10-lineup last year, the Galaxy S10e immediately positioned itself as the budget alternative to the expensive vanilla S10 and S10+.
