Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite: Design
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite looks like a previous generation Galaxy Note smartphone with a squarish design. The device has a triple camera setup at the back with an LED flash. At the front, the phone has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, protected by a 2.5D curved tempered glass with an Infinity-O notch and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The smartphone looks premium and has all the things that one might look for on a flagship smartphone. However, it is not pretty as the Galaxy Note 10 or the Note 10+.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite: Hardware Performance
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is powered by the Exynos 9810 SoC, which is an octa-core processor with a built-in Mali G72MP18 GPU. The processor is coupled with 6/8GB RAM with 128GB onboard storage with a microSD card slot for additional storage expansion. The device can handle multiple tasking and high-end gaming without any issue. One can easily even play high-fidelity games like PUBG, Fortnite, and COD Mobile without any issue.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite: Camera Performance
Though this is the lite version of the Galaxy Note 10, the Note 10 Lite still has a solid triple camera setup with a 12MP primary sensor, 12MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultra-wide angle lens. At the front, the device has a single 32MP selfie camera that uses pixel binning technology to take 8MP images and is also capable of recording 1080p videos at 30fps. The main camera on the Galaxy Note 10 Lite is capable of recording 4K videos and it also supports various camera modes like potrait mode that lets users blur the background by keeping the subject in the focus.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite: Price To Performance Ratio
The base variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite retails for Rs. 38,999 and offers 6GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage. The price of the Note 10 Lite is on point with the offerings from OnePlus and is expected to compete against the same. Though it has year-old hardware, the device does feel right, especially at the asking price. However, it does lack in some features as it misses out on features like wireless charging and IP rating for water and dust resistance.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite: Important Features/Highlights
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite's main highlight is its display and the processor. The Exynos 9810 is a highly capable processor and the AMOLED display on the smartphone will help the users to enjoy games and movies with vivid color reproduction.

Lastly, the device also retains the 3.5mm headphone jack.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite: Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is definitely a smartphone that has the right mixture of features that one might look for on a smartphone. It has the right price tag. However, considering the launch of the Galaxy S20 series in the next few weeks, phones like the Galaxy S10 are likely to receive major price cuts and they are slightly better than the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. If you are looking for a flagship smartphone from a well-known brand that does not cost a lot of money, then the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is the device that you should consider.

Rating a smartphone is a tedious process and a lot of parameters have to be considered before judging the overall performance of the device such as display, camera, processor, RAM, storage, battery, and the pricing.
So, here are how these specs will affect the real-life usage of a device and why how we meticulously consider each of these points to rate a smartphone.
Cameras have evolved a lot over the last few years and multi-camera setup is a new norm. We consider various parameters like MP count, aperture size, pixel size, image stabilization to rate a camera system of a smartphone out of 5. Any device that scores more than 3.5 can take good photos and videos and if a phone scores over 4, then it will be one of the best camera smartphones in the market.
Though battery seems like an underrated feature and we look at the battery capacity, fast charging supporting technology, and even the wireless charging capability is also taken into consideration to rate smartphone's battery capability.
The display is the face of a smartphone. And there are a lot of parameters like the panel technology (IPS LCD, OLED, TFT) and other parameters also taken into consideration like the resolution, pixel density, and refresh rate.
A smartphone could have great specs, but if it is not priced well then you might not get the best value-for-money. So, we compare a smartphone with the contemporaries to rate the value-for-money of a device out of 5.
This aspect is decided on various sub specifics, such as availability of microSD card slot, the amount of RAM the device offers, processor capability, and the network support. This parameter has more weightage when compared to other departments.
