Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite is powered by a 7nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor under the hood, while the Note 10 Lite runs on a 10nm Exynos 9810 chipset. Both phones come with a triple-camera setup on the back, although the sensors are not identical. The Galaxy S10 Lite has a 48MP primary sensor with "Super Steady OIS", an ultra-wide 12MP camera, and a 5MP macro camera.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite has a 12MP primary camera with Dual Pixel AF, a 12MP ultra-wide camera with OIS, and a 12MP telephoto lens with OIS. One of its biggest selling points is, of course, the signature S Pen. The Note 10 Lite's S Pen comes with Bluetooth Low-Energy support, which means you can do things like navigate a presentation, take photos, control video content, and more with a simple click. When it comes to software, both the Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite will ship with Android 10-based One UI 2.0 right out of the box.
Samsung says both the new phones will be on display at CES 2020 next week. However, the company hasn't revealed pricing and availability information yet.
