Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite affordable variant to launch in Europe soon: report

Samsung might be working on a new variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series, this one aimed at the mid-range segment. According to a new report, this smartphone – which may be called Samsung Galaxy Note 10e or Note 10 Lite – could soon be launched in Europe, in Black and Red colours. The report says this new smartphone will carry the model number SM-N770F. This variant will feature mid-range internals and cost much lesser than the base Note 10 model, which costs Rs 69,999. We have no idea what kind of hardware this mid-range Note 10 could feature.

It is possible that Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite might ship with a Snapdragon 700 series chipset, slightly smaller battery, and a couple of other downgrades. It should be noted that this isn’t the first mid-range Galaxy Note model. In the past, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 model got an affordable variant, which was called Note 3 Neo.

A mid-range Note 10 could attract more consumers to the Samsung Note lineup and help improve sales. None of this is confirmed though, so do take it with a pinch of salt. If we do get a mid-range Note 10, expect it to be priced similar to the OnePlus 7T. We will have to wait to find out if this device really exists.

This year, Samsung chose to launch two Galaxy Note 10 variants, with slightly different specifications. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 gets a 6.3-inch full-HD+ display, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, 12MP + 12MP + 16MP triple rear cameras, and 3,500mAh battery with 25W fast-charging. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ specifications include a 6.8-inch QHD+ panel, 12GB RAM, up to 512GB storage, microSD card support, 12MP + 12MP + 16MP + 3D ToF quad camera setup, and 4,300mAh battery with 45W fast-charging support. The other specifications are common between the two, including the Exynos 9825 SoC, 10MP selfie camera, ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, USB Type-C port, etc.
