In 2020, Samsung introduced three generations of Android updates for its premium and select mid-range phones as well as tablets. For flagships, this policy covers the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S20 series, while the Galaxy S21 series and onwards are eligible for four Android updates.

Hence, the Galaxy 10 Lite is entitled to three OS upgrades, just like the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and Galaxy S10e. However, unlike the latter three, the former will receive the latest Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update.

The original Galaxy S10 family comprising the mainline three models debuted in early 2019 with Android 9.0 Pie onboard. On the other hand, the Galaxy S10 Lite was released in early 2020 with Android 10.

But all of them are qualified for three generations of Android updates. As a result, the inexpensive Galaxy S10 Lite will get access to Android 13 in the coming days.

In fact, Samsung has already started testing the firmware for the handset. It seems like there won’t be a public beta program for it.

According to update schedules shared by Samsung, the device will receive the stable update as early as December in regions like Germany and Malaysia. The update should be available in other markets in the following weeks.

The Galaxy S10 Lite was one of the best upper mi-range smartphones of its time. It has a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED Plus display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, 48MP (wide, OIS) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (macro) triple camera setup, 32MP selfie camera, 4,500mAh battery, 45W fast charging support, and more.

The post Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite To Get Android 13 Update While S10, S10+, and S10e Won’t appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G became the first foldable to get a stable One UI 3.0 update. Today, Samsung has gone a step further to bring the update for the Galaxy S10 Lite variant when the rest of the S10 family is yet to get it.

According to the reports(via 1,2), Galaxy S10 Lite is getting the latest One UI 3.0 based on Android 11 update via OTA. The update with firmware G770FXXU3DTL1(Global), and G770U1UEU2CTL3 (US) is rolling out to the users. Precisely, the USA, Russia, Spain, UAE, Panama, and India are the countries to get it (as of writing this).

Although it doesn’t mean a worldwide rollout(all countries), we can say that it isn’t that far away now. Anyway, the update weighs about 2.4GB in size and brings the latest features of the new UI. Additionally, you can also expect Google’s Android 11 features like chat bubbles(conversations), media controls, improved permission management, and organized notifications.

Additionally, the XDA report says that Samsung hasn’t incremented the Bootloader version which means you can manually revert back to Android 10. However, we wouldn’t recommend you do that unless you know the exact procedure for it. Some of the other improvements include:

• Digital Wellbeing
• Parental controls
• Improvements to Samsung Internet, Samsung Keyboard
• Bixby Routines
• Revamped Settings, Quick Settings.

Having said that, the device reportedly lacks Samsung DeX even after the update. In any case, the Galaxy S10 Lite users must feel lucky as it’s official timeline for Europe and India indicated a January rollout.

And if you are someone who is living in either of the regions mentioned above, you can check the OTA update by navigating to Settings->Software Updates-> Download and Install. That said, Apart from refreshing the UI and Android, the update also brings December 2020 security patch.

Nevertheless, this could be a signal for an imminent rollout to the rest of the Galaxy S10 series(S10, S10+, S10e) going forward.

But Samsung isn’t done yet, the world’s number one phone company is set to introduce a Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note10 Lite. Both phones have been in the news for weeks now and their launch is closer with two new certifications.

First is the Galaxy S10 Lite which has been certified by Thailand’s NBTC. The certificate confirms the name of the device again and reveals that the SM-G770F model us the Global Dual SIM version.

The Galaxy S10 Lite is expected to launch this month with a Snapdragon 855 processor, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It will have a punch-hole display just like the Galaxy Note10 and triple rear cameras with a similar design to the recently announced Galaxy A71.

While the Galaxy S10 Lite was getting certified in Thailand, the Galaxy Note10 was certified by the Blue Special Interest Group (SIG). The phone with model number SM-N770F and description name “Note10 Litre SPEN” will come with Bluetooth 5.1.

Samsung is set to announce one more Galaxy S10 phone before the end of the year. The phone will arrive as the Galaxy S10 Lite and will be powered by the Snapdragon 855 processor.

Ahead of the phone’s release which is still unknown, the camera specifications have been made public by Ishan Agarwal (@Ishanagarwal24).

In a tweet posted on his timeline yesterday, he revealed the Galaxy S10 Lite (SM-G770F) will have triple rear cameras. The main camera is a 48MP sensor and it is paired with a 12MP ultrawide angle camera and a 5MP depth sensor. The main camera is most likely to be the ISOCELL GM2 that was announced back in May of this year.

Can confirm that #Samsung Galaxy S10 lite (SM-G770F) will have Snapdragon 855 processor and the camera specifications are as follows:
48MP (Main) + 5MP (Depth) +12MP (Wide angle) & 32MP (Selfie)
Meanwhile the internal code for S11+ (5G) (SM-G986U) is Y2.

— Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24) November 19, 2019

The tweet also mentioned that the phone will have a 32MP selfie camera, the same as the Galaxy A50s that was announced in September.

These camera specs are not new as we already reported it earlier this month. However, Ishan said in his tweet that he confirmed the details.

We don’t expect the Galaxy S10 Lite to match its siblings with respect to camera performance but it should take better than average photos. Nevertheless, the Galaxy S10 Lite does trump most of its siblings in another way. It has been reported that its battery capacity is 4370mAh, which is larger than that of the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+.

The Galaxy S10 Lite is also expected to have a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED screen, 8GB of RAM and run Android 10 out of the box.

Ishan also revealed in his tweet that the internal codename for the Galaxy S11+ 5G with model number SM-G986U is Y2.

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.

As far as the Galaxy S10 is concerned, it is also expected to house a triple camera unit on its back panel along with a single front-facing camera. The alleged S10 Lite is tipped to feature dual rear cameras and a single camera on the front.
