Samsung just revealed the Galaxy S10 Lite in India today. The device launched globally earlier this month after weeks of speculation fueled by teasers and leaked renders. The South Korea company claims the S10 Lite is designed for millennials who want a powerful camera powered by a massive battery without spending big bucks. The S10 Lite offers just that!
Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Specifications and Features
The Galaxy S10 Lite flaunts a 6.7-inch full HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity-O display with 20:9 aspect ratio. The display flaunts an in-screen fingerprint sensor. Powering the Galaxy S10 Lite is a 2.8 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 855 SoC with Adreno 640 GPU with 8 GB of RAM. The smartphone supports 128 GB of native storage.
The S10 Lite draws power from a 4,500 mAh battery with 25W fast charge support. The device runs on the Android 10-based One UI 2.0 OS with Bixby, Samsung Pay and AR pre-installed. Multitasking is a breeze on the device as it offers a lag-free experience. The advanced Game Booster ensures optimum hardware performance even during hardcore gaming sessions. When enabled, Game Booster optimizes battery usage, blocks notifications and unwanted calls, ensuring a disturbance-free experience. Gaming Mode also restricts the navigation bar from showing up, prevents accidental touches, and disables quick screenshots.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite packs quite a punch in terms of optics. The smartphone flaunts a 32-megapixel camera on the front housed within the central punch-hole. The camera flaunts Super Steady Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and UHD shake-free videos. The device flaunts a triple-camera setup at the rear, complete with one 48-megapixel lens, a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a 5-megapixel macro sensor. The camera setup is ideal for capturing clear images even in underlit conditions. The primary 48-megapixel camera comes equipped with OIS to give the smartphone gimbal-like stability.
The Galaxy S10 Lite’s camera takes bokeh mode to a whole new level with the Live Focus feature, using which you can control the depth-of-field. Switching between foreground and background focus is also achieved with a single click. Samsung has equipped the S10 Lite with the Zoom-in-mic feature that helps control the ambient noise level while recording videos. Simply zoom in to the subject and hear background noise fade away. The other features on the device include dedicated microSD card slot, dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.1ac, GPS and USB-C. It lacks a 3.5mm audio jack.
