hi guys it's Toddy here still at CES 2020 now we are at Samsung's booth here at the
Las Vegas Convention Center and we want to check out two of the four new phones
the company launched just ahead of the show this is the Samsung Galaxy Note
10 Lite and behind me I have these something galaxy S10 Lite now things
are getting pretty confusing with both of these lines particularly the S 10
line which already has the S10e, S10, S10 plus and the S10 5g so this is a
fifth phone in the S10 series whilst the note this is the first year well 2019
was the first year that Samsung actually split the note into two devices with the
note 10 and the note 10 plus plus the note 10 5g which is the same phone
basically as the flagship model but now we have this the note 10 Lite so these
devices share hell of a lot in common you might be able to see one slight
difference on the back there in the cameras which I'll get to in a second
but I thought I'd start with just running through everything that you kind of get
consistently across either of these because it really comes down to three
distinct factors as to which one you might be tempted by it over the other
first and foremost they have plastic build instead of glass they still look
really nice really premium feel the Samsung fit and finish that we've seen
from the premium phones that these are part of now the lines that these are
part of carries across wholly and you wouldn't necessarily know looking at
these that they are any less of devices in that respect you can see we've got a
silver metal frame here this is the aura the prism white excuse me
all of the s10 colorways the S10 Lite colorways are prism branded so there's
prism white there's also a prism black and a prism blue you might be able to
see as I move it around how the light hits it you got a kind of rainbow effect
it's one that was most popularized on the likes of the samsung galaxy 819 most
recently we have a review on that as well on the site if you want to check
that out meanwhile if I can get your attention over to this this is the aura
glow I believe version of the note 10 Lite
but there's also an aura white and an aura black as well and I'm sure
samsung is already toying with additional colors later on in these
phone a wide span so what looking at here both
friends have basically the exact same panel it's an extended full HD Super
AMOLED panel that's six point seven inches so for the note that's almost as
big as the note 10 plus the screen just a tiny tiny bit shorter in the hand
the aspect ratio is that they both feel really comfortable to hold and with one
UI version two again on both devices you can easily jump into one handed mode if
you want to and yeah it looks and feels really nice off the top there a slight
difference despite these actually running the same front-facing
32 megapixel camera you can see that Samsung has actually slimmed down the
surround on that infinity O-dot camera in the middle there so it's an
interesting difference I'm not really sure why they didn't decide to do it on
the S10 Lite except for perhaps making just look like the other s10 devices but
overall it's a minor thing either way you're getting the same 32Mp
front-facing with an F/2.2 aperture and it looks wholly fine on
first impressions on the inside the battery is the same it's a really nice
large 4,500 mAh cell so you've got lots of charge from there Samsung's
quoting 49 hours of use by charge with either of these devices and what's more
both phones feature 25 watt fast charging which is really good not all of the S 10
series I think have as fast fast charging as that so that's a nice
inclusion across both of these devices as I just as I'm already at this angle
one thing you might be able to tell aside from the S Pen which I'll get to
in a bit is that the Samsung the note 10 Lite excuse me features a
headphone jack which again is something that the S10 line has basically nixed
particularly on this model here so it's a bit of a shame if you want the wired
headphone experience this is the place to get it so let's talk about that s-pen
as I just mentioned it and we'll come back to the S 10 lite in a second so
the s-pen slots into the right hand side here as you would color match on
this aura glow version but depending on the finish I believe they put the aura
white version comes with a blue S Pen so if you have a preference check that out
before you purchase all the user experience is much the same I can tap
the button here over the screen and bring up the Air Command menu
I can work the screen you get pressure sensitivity of it's a new phone
obviously so I can do as I would like you get translations also something
you can do with this s-pen on any other note device you can do here so none of
that experience is really reduced or hindered by this being a light device
which is really nice so if you like that S Pen functionality this is really the
most probably the most important way to get it now on the s10 lite obviously
there's no such functionality but it's still a really nice users of experience
with one UI like I said flipping over I think it's time to start talking about those
differences and the main thing here is the camera now my personal preference I
think I prefer what the s10 lite is packing here it's a triple sensor
arrangement as you can see has OIS on that main sensor which is the one in the
middle the 48 megapixel sensor just like on
the a90 as I mentioned earlier and then it also has a 5 megapixel macro camera
which is an interesting option and it has a wide angle sensor as well which is
a 12 megapixel ultra wide but OIS is only on that main 48 megapixel sensor so
if you'd like that extra high resolution then the S10 lite is the one to go for
from an imaging perspective if I grab the I'll grab the here's the nice
silvery aura glow note probably playing havoc with the image right now but
nonetheless this is actually a set of three 12 megapixel sensors so Samsung is
kind of shifting things up quite a lot between these two devices so it's 12Mp
whatever sensor you're shooting on and it's also a different arrangement so
you have a main 12 Mp you have a telephoto and you have an ultra wide
again so it's nice that you have that consistent resolution across all three
senses this phone also suppresses it possesses optical image stabilization
across both the main sensor and the telephoto so you have that support when
you're zooming in so we talked about the s-pen we talked about the cameras the
other main difference is the processors now both phones come with 128 gigabytes
of storage and 6 to 8 gigabytes of RAM depending on the market that they
launched it the S10 lite comes with a Snapdragon 855
processor so a flagship class chipsets based on phones from the last year it's
going to fly should give you stand you in really good stead for at least one to
two years on most plans so yeah really good phone for gaming everything it's
tried and true and we know it's a solid shout the verdict is still kind of
out on the chipset inside this thing some are saying it's the 8895
the samsung exynos own 8895 some saying it is the
9810 both of which are featured in high-end Samsung devices from previous
generations but not even Samsung seems to be exactly sure what's in it right
now surely come review some will know for sure what the chip is running in
this but either way it seems like it's going to be a lesser or less powerful
chipset than what's in the S10 lite even if it's only by a little bit the
other thing that we've seen with Exynos chip sets in the past is power
efficiency so there might be some power efficiency issues especially if it is
one of those two chips is running on a 10 nanometer process or a heavier
process I think a process therefore could be less efficient so that is
everything right now I can tell you about both these Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite
and the note 10 lite here at CES 2020 if you want to know more you can
check out the website stay tuned for more videos and we'll see you really
soon thanks for watching
