This is what Samsung's Galaxy S10 Lite might look like
The Galaxy S10 series was introduced almost nine months ago and Samsung has since turned its focus towards the
lineup. However, rumors suggest the South Korean giant is working on another device dubbed the Galaxy S10 Lite, and a recent
) filing may have revealed what it looks like.
The Seoul-based company is planning to adopt a 6.7-inch AMOLED display which, as indicated by today’s patent, will arrive paired with curved edges and two selfie cameras. Exact details haven’t yet been provided but the most likely scenario involves the smartphone borrowing the sensors used on the Galaxy S10+. That means people should expect to find a 10-megapixel snapper and an 8-megapixel depth sensor for better portrait selfies.
Expect premium specifications but no headphone jack
Externally, the Galaxy S10 Lite will be quite unique, but internally the smartphone’s expected to borrow all of its specs from the upcoming Galaxy A91. This means consumers should be able to find Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 on the inside paired with a very decent 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage which should be expandable via microSD cards of up to 512GB.
Recent certifications suggest a 4,370mAh battery will be keeping the lights on, although that could easily be the minimum rated capacity. The typical capacity, which is the one advertised by smartphone manufacturers, should sit at around 4,500mAh. On a related note, support for Samsung’s crazy fast 45W charging technology is to be expected.
The Galaxy S10e
Completing the smartphone’s package should be Android 10 straight out of the box paired with One UI 2.0, a USB-C port, and a bottom-firing speaker. Unfortunately, a 3.5mm headphone jack and 5G network support don’t seem to be part of the setup.
Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite announcement and price
The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, or whatever the company chooses to call it, may arrive later this month in time for the Christmas shopping season. If that doesn’t happen, an introduction in early 2020 does seem very likely.
Samsung will presumably position the Galaxy S10 Lite as a direct competitor to Apple’s newly released iPhone 11. Therefore, a price tag of $699 in the US is to be expected although the South Korean brand could surprise us all with a more aggressive strategy that involves a $649 retail price point.
