Samsung launched the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10+ earlier this year, which was later joined by the affordable Galaxy S10e. The upcoming Galaxy S11 has recently started hogging the limelight. However, recent reports have suggested a new S10 lineup product called Galaxy S10 Lite may debut before for the arrival of Galaxy S11 series. The rumored S10 Lite (model number SM-G770F) could fit in right below the Galaxy S10e in Samsung’s portfolio. Sammobile has just revealed the possible color variants on offer.
According to their report, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite will be available in Prism Blue, Prism White and Prism Black. Whether Samsung introduces the Prism Green and Canary Yellow colors from the standard S10 later remains to be seen.
Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Specifications (Rumored)
Despite the Lite branding the S10 Lite could be packed with flagship hardware components. The list includes Snapdragon 855 SoC with 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB of native storage. This is the same setup powering the Galaxy S10 and the S10+. The Galaxy S10e features 6GB of RAM instead. Despite featuring the Lite brand name, the S10 Lite could be like the standard S10 in overall dimensions. The smartphone is rumored to feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a notch instead of the standard punch-hole.
The South Korean company is rumored to offer a 4,500 mAh battery with 45W fast charging to power the larger display. The camera setup on the S10 Lite is not extraordinary and borrows the 48-megapixel optics straight out of the A90. The supporting lenses include a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. The primary lens could be assisted by features like Optical Image Stabilization and an LED flash. Its front camera could be of 32-megapixel.
Samsung is yet to make any formal announcements regarding the specifications and pricing of the Galaxy S10 Lite. Rumors suggest that the chaebol could launch the device by December 2019 to capitalize on the S10’s popularity and avoid collisions with the Galaxy S11 next year.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is also rumored to be coming
In related news, Samsung is also rumored to be working on the Galaxy Note 10 Lite (model number SM-N770F) that may launch later this year. There is no information on the hardware specifications yet apart from reports of the device being powered by a flagship Qualcomm SoC instead of a mid-range chipset. If Samsung sticks to their current plan, the only notable difference between the Galaxy Note 10 and the Note 10 Lite could be the presence of the S-Pen and pricing.
A second theory suggests that the Galaxy Note 10 Lite could be like the Note 10e. In which case Samsung could pair the flagship camera setup from the Note 10 with a flat Infinity-O display with reduced resolution, lesser RAM and lower internal storage. The device could run on the Android 9.0 Pie-based One UI.
