Samsung Galaxy S10 lite Full Review details, Launched In 2020.

We’ve seen leaked renders supposedly showing the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, and in them it looks a lot more like the rumored Samsung Galaxy S11 than the Samsung Galaxy S10. That’s largely because it has a punch-hole camera in the top center of the screen, rather than the top right, and there’s a large camera block in the top left corner of the rear. The frame is metal, the back is likely glass, and there’s no headphone port. Note that while the phone is referred to as the Samsung Galaxy A91 in the image below, this is believed to simply be another name for the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite.

These phones feature bezel-less curved AMOLED displays, impressive cameras, high-end specs, and a high price tag. The cheapest is the 5.8” S10E, which starts at $749, the most expensive is the 6.4” S10+ which starts at $999 (which can be kitted up to 1TB of storage, if you’ve got $1600 to drop). Right between the two sits the now "midrange" S10, at 6.1” and starting at $899 for a 128GB (See it on Amazon), or $1149.99 for 256GB. I hate to give Samsung any ideas, but after testing the phone, I think the S10 is worth every penny. Samsung Galaxy S10 - Design and Features The S10 looks gorgeous and feels substantial in the palm. It’s no stretch to say it's among the best-looking phones I’ve ever held, and I've held pretty much all of them. The phone looks a lot like the Galaxy S9 and a little like an iPhone XS—complete with striped antenna bands. But its AMOLED display looks miles better than the iPhone’s, with an impressively curved screen that makes other phones look flat and listless. but really, the most distinct feature of this phone is the hole-punch camera. by removing the iris scanners, the S10 can get away with a small circle in the corner instead of a big, honking notch. It's less intrusive than the iPhone’s solution, but it's also not as capable. Face Unlock is relegated to simple tasks like unlocking your phone, but anything that requires additional security, like making payments, requires a passcode or thumbprint. The latter is done through a nifty ultrasonic reader that’s built in the display. (Word of warning: only certain types of screen protectors—like thin plastic ones—will work.) While the hole punch (or “Infinity O” as Samsung calls it) is very subtle, it’s not perfect. It sits, weirdly offset, in the upper right-hand corner of the phone. Samsung seems unwilling to embrace the style fully—instead, the S10 is loaded with textured wallpapers that all vignette or darken that corner of the screen. Samsung’s fans, however, have had less challenge embracing the quirk. There’s no shortage of hilarious wallpapers that help the camera stand out and one of the first apps I downloaded, “Energy Ring,” encircled the camera with a ring of light, which functioned as a battery indicator, depleting into an ever-smaller sliver as the battery drained. The camera position does have a negligible impact on the software. The menu icons are all pushed to the left of the camera. At times when you’re not noticing the camera, the icons seem to sit in a weird no man’s land somewhere to the left of nothing. Weirder to me is the strange offset on the home screen—not in any way a compromise of the hole punch. By default, the date and time sit very low on the home screen, the icons are all smushed below it. In typical Android fashion, it only takes seconds to customize this, but it baffled me that this would ever be someone’s preferred option, regardless of reachability. The back of the phone is much less interesting than the front. That’s in part to an oblong camera hump and a dull glass panel. My unit was matte black, but it looked like nothing so much as a collection of fingerprints. Samsung Galaxy S10 - Real-world Testing
