Ahead of CES this week, Samsung has announced the Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite, bringing the heritage and features of their premium phone lines to more people, with what they say will be an ‘accessible price point’.
Samsung is bringing three key features from the Note and S-series phones to the Lite models, offering 6.7-inch edge-to-edge Infinity-O displays on both phones, with a big 4,500mAh battery with super-fast charging. Along for the ride are Samsung services including their Knox security platform and Samsung Pay, as well as their lesser used services like Samsung Health and Bixby.
