After a few months, it became clear that Samsung’s attempt was successful, even if the usual Note 10 didn’t become the best seller, but no one expected it. The combined sales of the two models exceeded decades of Note 9 sales, which came out a year ago. Now the company is taking another step and launching the Note 10 Lite, it is becoming the cheapest note in the device market.

Further, for the first time in history, the note appears in such a price group. And if the positioning for the S10 Lite seems somewhat inconsistent, as it has little in common with the model’s flagship, then a completely different story with the Note 10 Lite is a device that is attractive to a wider audience. Created as a solution, the work was exactly the same as before: to popularize the use of S-PAN and to do so, remove the initial cost of the largest Lumiere-device.

I have a feeling that the Note 10 Lite will be popular, which is an interesting solution, because of the capabilities of the S-Pan, it is unique to the market, while it has good image capabilities at previous flagship levels. Let’s take a look at this tool.

Samsung Galaxy Note10 Design

The design of modern smartphones is difficult to say, unique or surprising; they are the usual rectangles in which case sizes vary depending on the screen’s diagonal. Therefore, looking at Note 10 Lite, we see many models at the same time, it is not unusual to find out.

The model is available in black, red and white. I have two devices – black and white, the second is a little cast in gold and looks good in the light, plays.

The dimensions of the device are 163.7 x 76.1 x 8.7 mm, weight – 198 grams. It is well embedded in the hand, though it is widespread. Corning Gorilla Glass on an aluminium frame, front and rear panels. The black case is very easily clay, the handprints look clean, it is not white.

The central camera block is rectangular, slightly protruding from the body.

On the left is a slot for a memory card as well as a memory card, it is shared, it is impossible to use a memory card and two SIM cards at the same time. On the right is a pair of volume control keys, plus an on / off button. Below is a speaker as well as a USB Type C connector and a 3.5mm jack. The microphones are located on two ends, the noise reduction system works well.

The device does not have water protection, it is not able to fall into the water. The connector for the S Pen at the bottom is different in colour, depending on the colour of the pen case (colours are not found).

Samsung Galaxy Note10 Battery Life

The Note 10 Lite has a Li-ion battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh. On average, I found the screen to work under 5.5-6.5 hours under load and with a large amount of data (about 1.5-2 GB per day).

The device has an energy-saving mode in which you can arrange the use of a smartphone so as to maximize its operating time, it can literally increase significantly.

Samsung Galaxy Note10 Performance and Memory

The devices use the Exynos 9810 chipset, 8 cores (4 cores up to 2.35 GHz, 4 cores up to 1.9 GHz), 64 bits, 10 nm. The same chip is on Note 9, after almost a year and a half this flagship does not detect performance flaws, the story is exactly that. The interface is smooth and fast, the application opening speed is excellent.

Given that you can install cards up to 1 TB in a memory card slot, the memory will not easily be a problem, these are the maximum values available to consumers in the market.

Communication opportunities

Support for LTE cat.20 depends on the operators, in theory, this provides a transfer rate of up to 2 Gb / s.

USB 2.0 (Type C) is supported, in the smartphone Bluetooth 5.0, aptX and other codecs for sound.

The device fully supports NFC and payments using this technology, there is both Samsung Pay and Google Pay.

Camera

The front camera has the following parameters: 32 MP (f / 2.2), bokeh effect, various additional effects, no autofocus. The pictures are sharp enough, the effects of a wagon and a small cart, there is a wide-angle.

The camera interface is well known for other Samsung devices on the same version of OneUI 2.0, there are intelligent modes.
