A few days after the official announcement, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is debuting in various markets. It just launched in India and now we even know its official listing price. That is why we think writing a specs comparison with other devices in the same price range may be extremely useful for potential buyers. In this specs comparison, we will highlight the differences between Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, Huawei Nova 6 and Oppo Reno3 Pro: all high-end smartphones, but all with a non-excessive price. After reading the comparison, you can let us know which one would you pick by using the comment box below the post.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite vs Huawei Nova 6 vs Oppo Reno3 Pro

Design

According to us, Oppo Reno3 Pro has undoubtedly the most attractive design. First of all, it is thinner and lighter, one of the thinnest smartphones to feature a battery with a capacity above 4000 mAh. Further, it has an almost totally clean rear side since all the elements of the camera are included in the camera module and there is an in-display fingerprint reader. The phone also comes with a punch-hole display and a very high screen-to-body ratio. While Oppo Reno3 Pro is the most attractive, Huawei Nova 6 looks like the most original with its “Nova” pattern on its glass back.

Display

The most amazing screen belongs to the Oppo Reno3 Pro. It is the only device of this trio to feature a display with a 90 Hz refresh rate. Further, it is HDR-compliant and it has a high DCI P3 coverage. The silver medal goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite that is the only affordable flagship to support the S Pen, great for productivity users. Huawei Nova 6 has an IPS panel, it is not a bad display but it offers nothing special, just an average screen like the ones you can find on a lot of mid-range smartphones.

Hardware/Software

Huawei Nova 6 wins the hardware comparison thanks to its Kirin 990 chipset: the latest flagship SoC from Huawei built at 7 nm. The device also comes in a variant with 5G connectivity. The Oppo Reno3 Pro comes right after with a Snapdragon 765G chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite still comes with high-end hardware, but not at the same level as its rivals. On the other hand, it is the only to support micro SD. In each case, you get Android 10 out of the box with a customized user interface.

Camera

In order to give you a definitive opinion, we have to test each camera department of this trio. Unfortunately Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite just debuted, so we had no chance to test its camera performances. On the paper, Oppo Reno3 Pro looks more gorgeous with its 48 MP quad-camera, but Huawei Nova 6 is a valid opponent with its 40 MP triple camera and an ultrawide dual front camera.

Battery

The bigger 4500 mAh battery on board of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite will surely provide a longer battery life than both Huawei Nova 6 and Oppo Reno3. But Huawei Nova 6 has a way faster charging technology (70 percent in just 30 minutes).

Price

Huawei Nova 6 (without 5G) is sold for about €380/$421 in its base variant in India, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite costs about €494/$548, and Oppo Reno3 Pro is rumored to launch in India next month with a €545/$605 price tag. While Oppo Reno3 Pro looks like a more refined choice, Huawei Nova 6 offers a higher value for money, while Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite may be better for productivity and power users due to the S Pen and a longer-lasting battery.

In a few days, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite will be officially available for reservations in the Indian market. It is the first Lite variant of the Galaxy Note series and we believe it deserves to be included in comparison only for this reason. We obviously chose other affordable high-end smartphones in the same price range for this comparison. For power users, we included Realme X2 Pro, while for people in search of innovative features and amazing cameras, we chose the Vivo X30 Pro. Let’s find out who is better through an in-depth specs comparison.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite vs Realme X2 Pro vs Vivo X30 Pro

Design

Samsung and Vivo put more effort into the making of the design of Galaxy Note 10 and X30 Pro. They both come with a punch-hole display minimizing the bezels, as well as a better overall look. I personally prefer the Vivo X30 Pro because it is more compact than both its opponents and it has a less invasive camera module on its rear side. But it is a matter of tastes, naturally. Which design do you prefer?

Display

The most advanced display belongs to the Realme X2 Pro. First of all, it is the only device from this trio to feature the HDR10+ technology for better image reproduction especially on streaming platforms such as Netflix and Prime Video. Further, it has a full DCI P3 coverage and a high 90 Hz refresh rate making the viewing experience smoother. The super AMOLED panel even comes with a very high brightness. There is not so much difference between the panels of Vivo X30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, but the Galaxy Note 10 Lite is the only to support the S Pen, an amazing feature for productivity.

Hardware/Software

The most powerful hardware belongs to the Realme X2 Pro which boasts a Snapdragon 855 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.0 internal storage. But, unlike the Vivo X30 Pro, it lacks 5G connectivity. Vivo X30 Pro has an inferior chipset in terms of performance, but it is a chipset bundled with an integrated 5G modem. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is inferior to both Vivo X30 Pro and Realme X2 Pro in terms of hardware, but it is the only to feature a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage. Further, it is the only with Android 10 out of the box.

Camera

Vivo X30 Pro has the most interesting and awesome camera setup. It includes a main 64 MP sensor with OSI, a periscope lens with up to 5x optical zoom, an additional telephoto sensor with a 32 MP resolution and an ultrawide 8 MP sensor. Simply incredible. Right after, we got the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite with a 12 MP triple camera including OIIS, 2x optical zoom, and an ultrawide lens. Both Vivo X30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite are high-end camera phones, but Vivo X30 Pro wins. Realme X2 Pro is just a mid-ranger in terms of camera performance, it packs a 64 MP quad camera including a Samsung GW1 sensor with a 64 MP resolution.

Battery

The biggest battery belongs to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite which lasts way more on a single charge. But Realme X2 Pro has the fastest charging technology: it goes from 0 to 100 percent in just 35 minutes.

Price

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite will cost €599/$665 globally, Vivo X30 Pro debuted for about €527/$585 in China, and Realme X2 Pro starts from €399/$442 globally. There is not a clear winner of this comparison, it mostly depends on your needs. The S Pen and the bigger battery are the main pros of the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. Vivo X30 Pro offers 5G and better cameras, while Realme X2 Pro comes with a better display and higher-end hardware.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 10 Lite alongside the Galaxy S10 Lite earlier this month. The company is yet to reveal when the models will launch in India but India blog 91mobiles credits industry sources to have disclosed that reservations for the smartphone will go live on retail and online stores across India from January 21.

The sources are also said to have disclosed that the device will be released in mid-February. This may likely be after the global launch of the Galaxy S20 series on February 11. Also, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite reservations will commence just a few days before the Galaxy S10 Lite’s India launch scheduled to take place on January 23. Pricing is expected to start at Rs 35,990 for the base variant.

As a reminder, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite sports a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Infinity-O display, slightly smaller than the Galaxy Note 10+’s 6.8-inch QHD+ display. The Note 10 Lite is powered by an Exynos 9810 SoC which was used on the Galaxy S9 from 2018. The device is available in 6GB/8GB RAM options and 128GB storage which is expandable up to 1TB via microSD card.

For photography, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite features a triple rear camera setup. At the front, the device packs a 32-megapixel f/2.2 sensor. The device equally comes equipped with an S-Pen which the Galaxy Note series is known for. While its S Pen does have Bluetooth Low-Energy support, it doesn’t have a 6-axis sensor, so you can’t do any of the cool gestures that you can with the Galaxy Note 10/10+’s S Pen. But Samsung did add the Text Export feature which allows users to transfer handwritten notes into text for quick sharing.

As for the interface, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite runs on Android 10-based One UI 2.0 out of the box. It also has features like Bixby, Samsung Pay, AR Emoji, and facial recognition. There’s a fingerprint sensor embedded in the display as well. Keeping the lights on is a massive 4500mAh battery which is even bigger than the Galaxy Note 10+’s 4,300mAh battery. The battery supports 25W super-fast wired charging.

The device comes in Aura Black, Aura Glow and Aura Red colours.

The Lite versions of the latest Samsung’s flagships are going to hit the shelves very soon. But despite being affordable variants, they will have a lot of rivals. And the fact that they are the first Lite versions of the S series and the Note series does not matter. That is why, in order to let you understand whether it is worth giving a chance to Samsung’s affordable flagships, we think it is time to compare them with the competition. In this comparison, you will learn not only the differences and the strong points of Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite and Galaxy S10 Lite, but you will also see them compared with the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 which is another high-end device launched in a similar price range.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite vs Xiaomi Mi Note 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite

Design

Despite the curved edge-to-edge display of the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 are definitely very attractive, the award for the design goes to the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, at least in my opinion. It has a higher screen-to-body ratio and a more interesting punch-hole display making the overall aesthetics better. The Note 10 Lite is similar, but with slightly thicker bezels and a thicker profile. Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite is the thinnest and the most lightweight one. But obviously it is also a matter of taste. Which one would you pick?

Display

We still did not test the displays of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite, but there should not be so much difference in terms of image quality, even compared to the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite. In each case, you get a great HDR display with high-end image quality. The real difference is the presence of the support to the S Pen for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite. If you need a phone for productivity and you would like handwriting or draw on your phone, you should not miss this device. It is the most affordable device from the Note 10 lineup supporting the S Pen.

Hardware/Software

While Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite come with a hardware side which can be considered upper-midrange, Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite is a real flagship thanks to the presence of a Snapdragon 855 chipset. So if you need the most powerful device, go for it without thinking twice. Unlike the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 which is the lower-end one, it offers up to 8 GB of RAM and a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage. The Galaxy Note 10 has the same processor as the Galaxy S9, it is high-end, but you can not compare it to 2019 flagships.

Camera

It may seem odd, but if you need the best camera this time you have to choose a Xiaomi device instead of a Samsung flagship. With its 108 MP penta camera, the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is one of the most amazing camera phones ever released. It includes OIS and even 5x optical zoom, besides an ultrawide lens and a dedicated macro camera. Right after, we got the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite. We still did not test its cameras, but on the paper, it looks very promising. It has a new technology of optical stabilization which should help shooting even better photos and videos. The Samsung Note 10 Lite is not the best camera phone of the trio, but it is still very capable thanks to its 12 MP triple camera including a bright focal aperture and OIS.

Battery

Finally, Samsung includes very big batteries inside its flagships. Both Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite are equipped with huge 4500 mAh batteries and both support fast charging (but no wireless charging, neither reverse wireless charging). But the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 has an even bigger unit: a mammoth 5260 mAh battery with 30W fast charging. This does not necessarily mean that it will last more on a single charge in every scenario, but it should be superior in most of the situations.

Price

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite will hit the shelves globally with a price starting from €649/$722, while Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite will cost €599/$666 in its base configuration. Xiaomi Mi Note 10 was launched for €599, but you can currently find it for about €450/$500. Overall, Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite is a more complete and well-balanced device, but it lacks the S Pen. Xiaomi Mi Note 10 should have a superior camera and battery, but when it comes to hardware, it is just a mid-ranger. Despite its specs sheet does not have more to offer, the Note 10 Lite is the only affordable flagship supporting the S Pen, so it is still an amazing option.

The post Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite vs Xiaomi Mi Note 10 vs Galaxy S10 Lite: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Soon after the launch of the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ last year, it emerged that Samsung was working on a Lite version of the flagship. The tech giant has now gone official with the Galaxy Note 10 Lite alongside the Galaxy S10 Lite.  The smartphone is designed as a cheaper variant of the Galaxy Note series. Even though the company is yet to announce the price, we expect it to be cheaper than the latest Galaxy Note 10.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is powered by an Exynos 9810 processor which is the same chip used by the Galaxy Note 9 launched in 2018. This is a far cry from the Snapdragon 855 SoC crammed inside the Galaxy S10 Lite. Despite being an old SoC, the Exynos 9810 is still a powerful one that can compete with the top flagship SoCs around.

In other aspects, the device sports a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Infinity-O display, slightly smaller than the Galaxy Note 10+’s 6.8-inch QHD+ display. The Note 10 Lite is available in 6GB/8GB RAM options and 128GB storage which is expandable up to 1TB via microSD card.

For photography, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite features a triple camera setup. The primary 12-megapixel rear sensor is from the Galaxy Note 8 so it doesn’t have variable aperture while the 12-megapixel telephoto f/2.4 2x optical zoom sensor is from the Galaxy Note 9. It does have the same 16-megapixel f/2.2 super wide-angle camera like the Galaxy Note 10/10+, though. At the front, the device packs a 32-megapixel f/2.2 sensor.

The Galaxy Note 10 Lite equally comes equipped with an S-Pen which the Galaxy Note series is known for. While its S Pen does have Bluetooth Low-Energy support, it doesn’t have a 6-axis sensor, so you can’t do any of the cool gestures that you can with the Galaxy Note 10/10+’s S Pen.

For the first time, the Galaxy Note series includes a Lite version. Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy Note 10 Lite, a smartphone offering the key feature of the Note line-up at a finally affordable price. We are talking about the S Pen, for which finally people will not be forced to spend a fortune. But if we exclude the S Pen, are its other specifications nice enough for the money asked? Let’s try to find it out together by comparing it with other high-end devices in a similar price range: Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and OnePlus 7T.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite vs Xiaomi Mi Note 10 vs OnePlus 7T

Design

If you need the most futuristic and trendy design, you should go for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite. It is the only to boast a punch-hole display, while Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and OnePlus 7T both come with a waterdrop notch. But you should not underestimate the beauty of the Mi Note 10 with its amazing curved screen. In each case, you get a glass + metal premium design, but none of these devices is water resistant.

Display

Samsung is usually known for making the best display, but it did not opt for one of its best panels with the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. With a 90 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification, OnePlus 7T has a better panel and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite takes the silver medal. But the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite’s display supports something you will never find on an affordable flagship: the S Pen for handwriting and drawing. A must for many professional users. Xiaomi Mi Note 10 still has a very nice display.

Hardware/Software

The only real flagship when it comes to the performance here is the OnePlus 7T. It is one of the fastest smartphones you can currently find in the market, thanks to a Snapdragon 855+ chipset and an amazing software optimization. The second place goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ boasting an Exynos 9810 chipset and up to 8 GB of RAM, as well as expandable internal storage. Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is just a mid-ranger with its Snapdragon 730G, OnePlus 7T is a lot faster and smoother. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite and OnePlus 7T offer Android 10 out of the box, while Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is still based on Pie. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is a better device for professional users not only because of the S Pen but also due to Samsung DeX providing a desktop experience while the phone is connected to an external monitor.

Camera

The camera award goes to the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and its 108 MP penta-camera. There is no chance its opponents can compete with it. It supports OIS, up to 5x optical zoom and even a dedicated macro camera. In most of the situations, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is able to capture stunning photos with a high level of detail, a low amount of digital noise and a high dynamic range. Right after, there is Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite with an amazing optical stabilization and a bright focal aperture. OnePlus 7T is all but the best camera phone, however, it still offers a pretty nice photo quality thanks to a high-end sensor and OIS.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi Note 10 has a huge 5260 mAh battery, one of the biggest found on high-end smartphones. And it lasts a lot on a single charge: it reaches two days even with pretty intensive usage. Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is right behind with its 4500 mAh battery, while OnePlus 7T is not among the best battery phones due to its 3800 mAh unit.

Price

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite will land in the market before the end of Q1 2020 with a starting price of €599/$669. That is the same price as the Xiaomi Mi Note 10, but now the Mi Note 10 is available for about €450/$502 thanks to online street prices. With a bit of luck, you can find the OnePlus 7T for less than €450/$502. If we exclude the S Pen, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite does not have a lot more to offer if compared to the Xiaomi Mi Note 10. Just slightly better performance and a few other minor things. So if you do not care about the S Pen at all, choose the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 if you want the best camera and battery, or go for the OnePlus 7T if you prefer having the best performance and display. But do not forget that Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite offers a way better camera and longer battery life than OnePlus 7T. I would personally prefer the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite for the S Pen, but I admit it will be a definitely more interesting choice when its price will drop like the ones of its rivals.

Samsung has been reported to be working on a new Galaxy Note model. The model is expected to bring along affordability in its pricing compared to the high-end Galaxy Note series that usually comes with a premium price tag. A few more details of the Galaxy Note model has emerged and you might want to take a look.

The device is said to bear the moniker Galaxy Note 10 Lite. As a result of it bearing the Galaxy Note 10 name, the device may get released any moment from now, certainly before the release of the Galaxy S11 next year.

EDITOR’S PICK: New Xiaomi Mi Note 10 phone may launch by October end

The Galaxy Note 10 Lite is said to bear the model number SM-N770F. The device comes in two different colour options – black and red. If this is true, it will be the third Galaxy Note model this year after the Note 10 and Note 10+ were launched a couple of months earlier. The Galaxy Note 10 starts at $949 and that can’t be said to be affordable. Perhaps, to remove the toga of an elitist model off the Note series, this affordable Note 10 Lite is being introduced.

However, we really can’t say how affordable it will be since there is no clue as to what the tech giant will trim off the Note 10 to qualify it as a Lite version. We do hope, though, that the company retain the S Pen support which is one feature the Galaxy Note models are known for. What do you think about a cheaper Note 10 model? Are you excited or not? Let us know in the comment section.
