Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite: News, Leaks, Release Date, Specs, and Rumors! – Android Central
Every year for the past few years, Samsung’s smartphone release pattern has been pretty predictable. We get the new Galaxy S lineup in the first part of the year, and then around August/September, the latest Galaxy Note is released.
We’re still expecting new Galaxy S and Note hardware as we usually do, but before any of that happens, Samsung’s going to kick off the new year with something we haven’t seen before — Lite variants of existing flagships.
At CES 2020, it’s rumored that Samsung will formally unveil the Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note 10 Lite. From the phones’ design, specs, features, and more, here’s everything we know about them so far.

Samsung Galaxy S10e
Lots of power in a compact package
Can’t wait for the Galaxy S10 Lite or Note 10 Lite? Samsung’s Galaxy S10e from 2019 is absolutely still worth picking up. It has a wonderfully compact body, a stunning AMOLED display, and blazing-fast performance. Add that together with dual rear cameras, lots of storage, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, and you end up getting a lot of phone for not much money.
Here’s what the two phones look like
First thing’s first, let’s take a look at the design of both phones.
Starting with the Galaxy S10 Lite, it looks a lot like leaked renders we’ve seen for the Galaxy S11. There’s a 6.7-inch display with a centered hole punch cutout, with the back being home to a large camera housing.
The S10 Lite’s display is notable for the fact that it appears to have flat edges rather than rounded ones like most of Samsung’s phones, and the large hump on the back should house a total of three cameras.
Unfortunately, just like the Note 10 from late last year, the Galaxy S10 Lite appears to be getting rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack.
As for the Galaxy Note 10 Lite, it looks very similar. The display has a centered hole punch for the selfie camera with, the edges of the display are flat, and there’s a square rear camera bump for three sensors.
The Note 10 Lite will offer the iconic S Pen just like every Note before it, with it also being rumored that the Note 10 Lite will have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The specs are quite interesting
That’s what the S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite look like, but what’s going on inside of the two handsets?
Despite having “lite” in their names, Samsung appears to be loading the phones with flagship-tier specs. Based on the current rumor mill and latest reports, here’s what we’re anticipating.
| Category | Galaxy S10 Lite | Galaxy Note 10 Lite |
|---|---|---|
| Operating System | Android 10 One UI 2.0 |
Android 10 One UI 2.0 |
| Display | 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED |
6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED |
| Processor | Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 | Samsung Exynos 9810 |
| Storage | 128GB Expandable up to 1TB |
128GB Expandable up to 1TB |
| RAM | 8GB | 8GB |
| Rear Camera 1 | 48MP primary camera | 48MP primary camera |
| Rear Camera 2 | 12MP ultra-wide camera | 12MP ultra-wide camera |
| Rear Camera 3 | 5MP telephoto camera | 5MP telephoto camera |
| Battery | 4,500 mAh | 4,500 mAh |
There are a lot of similarities between the S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite, with the biggest difference being that the S10 Lite is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 whereas the Note 10 Lite gets Samsung’s own Exynos 9810 chip.
The 4,500 mAh battery expected in both phones is also pretty impressive, especially when you consider that it’s bigger than the battery found in 2019’s Note 10 and Note 10+.
How does this affect the Galaxy S11?
If you’re worried that the S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite are being released instead of the expected Galaxy S11, don’t be.
The S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite are being released as kind-of-successors to the S10 and Note 10, respectively, but they’re being added as additions to Samsung’s lineup rather than replacements.
Furthermore, with rumors hinting at Samsung not releasing an “e” variant of the Galaxy S11 and instead choosing to offer the Galaxy S11, S11 Plus, and S11 Ultra, the Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite will be in a good position to fill that missing space for people that want a flagship Samsung handset without spending a heap of money.
We’re expecting an announcement during CES 2020
When rumors first started coming out about the S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite, it was originally thought that they’d be announced and released in December 2019. However, that obviously didn’t happen.
Now, it’s looking like Samsung will unveil the two phones during CES 2020 in January.
Per a report from The Korea Herald:
Instead, the Korean tech titan is projected to introduce a new lineup of mid-range Galaxy phones bound for emerging markets at CES 2020, according to industry sources.
The relatively affordable Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note10 Lite models, with lower-end specs to square off against Apple’s iPhone XR and iPhone 11, are likely to be presented at CES 2020. The Lite lineup is expected to be launched initially in India in January.
CES is always home to a heap of announcements, and with Samsung regularly having a large presence at the annual trade show, this sounds legit.
What’s pricing going to look like?
As the “lite” moniker suggests, the Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite should have lower prices compared to their non-Lite siblings.
A report from December suggested that the S10 Lite will cost €680, or about $760 in USD. Interestingly enough, the Note 10 Lite is thought to be even cheaper at €630 ($700 USD).
While those aren’t necessarily “cheap” price points, they do hit that “lite flagship” pricing that’s become rather popular over the last couple of years.
Don’t forget about the Galaxy S10e
We don’t blame you one bit for getting excited about the Galaxy S10 Lite or Note 10 Lite, but if you’re shopping for a new phone right now and want a quality Samsung device that won’t break the bank, the Galaxy S10e is still one heck of a device.
Marketed as a “lite” version of the Galaxy S10, the S10e has a gorgeous 5.8-inch AMOLED display, dual rear cameras, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 processor, and your choice of 128GB or 256GB of internal storage.
It may not be the newest phone in Samsung’s lineup these days, especially with the S10 Lite right around the corner, but it’s also something we can still wholeheartedly recommend.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Artificial intelligence‘s recent rise to the forefront of business has left most office workers wondering how often they should use the technology and whether a computer will eventually replace them.
Those were among the highlights of a recent study conducted by the workplace communications platform Slack. After conducting in-depth interviews with 5,000 desktop workers, Slack concluded there are five types of AI personalities in the workplace: “The Maximalist” who regularly uses AI on their jobs; “The Underground” who covertly uses AI; “The Rebel,” who abhors AI; “The Superfan” who is excited about AI but still hasn’t used it; and “The Observer” who is taking a wait-and-see approach.
Only 50% of the respondents fell under the Maximalist or Underground categories, posing a challenge for businesses that want their workers to embrace AI technology. The Associated Press recently discussed the excitement and tension surrounding AI at work with Christina Janzer, Slack’s senior vice president of research and analytics.
Q: What do you make about the wide range of perceptions about AI at work?
A: It shows people are experiencing AI in very different ways, so they have very different emotions about it. Understanding those emotions will help understand what is going to drive usage of AI. If people are feeling guilty or nervous about it, they are not going to use it. So we have to understand where people are, then point them toward learning to value this new technology.
Q: The Maximalist and The Underground both seem to be early adopters of AI at work, but what is different about their attitudes?
A: Maximalists are all in on AI. They are getting value out of it, they are excited about it, and they are actively sharing that they are using it, which is a really big driver for usage among others.
The Underground is the one that is really interesting to me because they are using it, but they are hiding it. There are different reasons for that. They are worried they are going to be seen as incompetent. They are worried that AI is going to be seen as cheating. And so with them, we have an opportunity to provide clear guidelines to help them know that AI usage is celebrated and encouraged. But right now they don’t have guidelines from their companies and they don’t feel particularly encouraged to use it.
Overall, there is more excitement about AI than not, so I think that’s great We just need to figure out how to harness that.
Q: What about the 19% of workers who fell under the Rebel description in Slack’s study?
A: Rebels tend to be women, which is really interesting. Three out of five rebels are women, which I obviously don’t like to see. Also, rebels tend to be older. At a high level, men are adopting the technology at higher rates than women.
Q: Why do you think more women than men are resisting AI?
A: Women are more likely to see AI as a threat, more likely to worry that AI is going to take over their jobs. To me, that points to women not feeling as trusted in the workplace as men do. If you feel trusted by your manager, you are more likely to experiment with AI. Women are reluctant to adopt a technology that might be seen as a replacement for them whereas men may have more confidence that isn’t going to happen because they feel more trusted.
Q: What are some of the things employers should be doing if they want their workers to embrace AI on the job?
A: We are seeing three out of five desk workers don’t even have clear guidelines with AI, because their companies just aren’t telling them anything, so that’s a huge opportunity.
Another opportunity to encourage AI usage in the open. If we can create a culture where it’s celebrated, where people can see the way people are using it, then they can know that it’s accepted and celebrated. Then they can be inspired.
The third thing is we have to create a culture of experimentation where people feel comfortable trying it out, testing it, getting comfortable with it because a lot of people just don’t know where to start. The reality is you can start small, you don’t have to completely change your job. Having AI write an email or summarize content is a great place to start so you can start to understand what this technology can do.
Q: Do you think the fears about people losing their jobs because of AI are warranted?
A: People with AI are going to replace people without AI.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Tuesday that it would provide up to $325 million to Hemlock Semiconductor for a new factory, a move that could help give Democrats a political edge in the swing state of Michigan ahead of election day.
The funding would support 180 manufacturing jobs in Saginaw County, where Republicans and Democrats were neck-in-neck for the past two presidential elections. There would also be construction jobs tied to the factory that would produce hyper-pure polysilicon, a building block for electronics and solar panels, among other technologies.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on a call with reporters that the funding came from the CHIPS and Science Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law in 2022. It’s part of a broader industrial strategy that the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, supports, while Republican nominee Donald Trump, the former president, sees tariff hikes and income tax cuts as better to support manufacturing.
“What we’ve been able to do with the CHIPS Act is not just build a few new factories, but fundamentally revitalize the semiconductor ecosystem in our country with American workers,” Raimondo said. “All of this is because of the vision of the Biden-Harris administration.”
A senior administration official said the timing of the announcement reflected the negotiating process for reaching terms on the grant, rather than any political considerations. The official insisted on anonymity to discuss the process.
After site work, Hemlock Semiconductor plans to begin construction in 2026 and then start production in 2028, the official said.
Running in 2016, Trump narrowly won Saginaw County and Michigan as a whole. But in 2020 against Biden, both Saginaw County and Michigan flipped to the Democrats.
