A few weeks before the launch of the new Galaxy S20 family, Samsung put the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite and Note 10 Lite on the table, two upper-middle-range proposals that, despite having the last name 'Lite', bear similarities with front-line families from Samsung.
Today we are dealing with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, a terminal that, for the first time, allows us to access the Samsung S-Pen at a relatively restrained price, giving up some benefits along the way and surprising in some capital points.

Rear module and front hole.
Samsung's design lines are clear this 2020 Samsung has a clear design line for 2020: front hole and rear camera module.
This Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is thus quite similar to the S20 families and mid-range proposals such as the A51 or A71.
Not being a member of Samsung's high-end range, we found a plastic finish, slippery and easy to get traces.
The feeling in hand is good although, taking into account the price of the device, a glass finish would have been appreciated.
It is a very large mobile, although the rounded edges help to hold it with one hand without being too annoying.
The Samsung Galaxy Note Lite is the "Note minus Note" at the design level.
No angular corners: the design is very similar to that of the Galaxy S and the Galaxy A family.
The frontal use is excellent, with reduced frames and a fairly discreet hole in the screen that allows, according to GSMarena, that the panel assumes an 86, 6% of the front surface of the phone, not bad.
It is curious that this Note is more reminiscent of its current siblings than the Note itself, leaving aside the angular design so characteristic of its family.
The hole in the screen is quite discreet, allowing to take full advantage of the front.
Regarding the screen, we find a 6.7-inch panel with SuperAMOLED technology and FullHD + resolution, a small downgrade compared to the QuadHD + of the Note 10.
However, the panel is quite sharp and is well calibrated at the color level.
It is far in terms of density and brightness compared to the high-end models but, in general terms, it is a more than acceptable panel.
An S-Pen, 4,000mAh battery and headphone jack.
By proxy, you can put everything.
At the audio level we find one of the most notable cuts.
A single speaker (the high-end stereo is lost) quite easy to cover both in games and in normal use.
The distortion levels are too high, the volume is low (it has not exceeded 75db in our tests) and, in short, it is below even much cheaper proposals.
At least we found a headphone jack, thank you.
A processor that sounds to us and good autonomy Unlike the S10 Lite, the Note 10 Lite does not have a current processor.
On the contrary, bet on the Exynos 9810, the processor of the Samsung Galaxy S9.
Along with this processor come memories of 6 + 128 GB.
Although the chipset left us doubts to have some time in the market, the performance has surprised us for good.
Despite the fact that the processor is old, Samsung has succeeded in the formula of betting on what is already known.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite moves smoothly and it is difficult to make the lag appear The Note 10 Lite moves without any lag, is capable of moving heavy games and even has a fluidity point that we did not expect.
It does not reach the levels of its older brothers, but it moves well.
The warm-up does not take long to appear when we play heavy deliveries, although it is moderate and does not worry.

From 0 to 50% with normal use we arrive at 3h of screen.
In terms of autonomy, good figures, but not outstanding.
An average of 6 hours of screen in a day of use, figures that allow us to not worry about the charger at all times, but they are somewhat far from the 8 or 9 hours of screen offered by other proposals with similar amperage.
At the software level, the great thing about the Note family is being able to use the dedicated functions for the S-Pen.
At the software level we find an old acquaintance.
OneUI 2.0 based on Android 10, a highly loaded customization layer, somewhat complex and with functions that may be of interest to users such as file explorers, health apps and others.
Point in favor with Android 10 is that Samsung has adopted Google's native gesture system, which is quite a bit above on a practical level compared to Samsung's native sliding system.
The highlight of the Note family is the S-Pen.
The software is tailored for use, allowing us to take notes, draw on the screen, trace in augmented reality and so on.
The key point here, however, has to do with the hardware.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite has an S-Pen, so its software is adapted to use it.
When removing the S-Pen from the body, we have the following options.
Create notes See all notes Smart Select Screen writing Animated messages AR drawings Regarding biometrics, we find both facial recognition and fingerprint reader.
The fingerprint reader is not one of the fastest in its price range, although it is not bad in precision.
Facial recognition is relatively fast, although we miss a little more angle (something normal, considering that it works only through a camera).
We ended up using both systems in conjunction.
Good sharpness in a camera that accepts improvements Three 12 megapixel sensors.
No exaggerated zooms, no Pixel Binning.
Spoiler: it works out.
The large camera module of this phone hides three sensors.
The first of these is a 12 megapixel angle with f / 1.7 and optical stabilizer.
The second an ultra wide angle of 12 megapixels and finally, we find a telephoto of another 12 megapixels.
I neither affirm nor deny my joy at seeing a classic bet on 12 megapixels without Pixel Binning or astronomical figures.
Why? Let's take a look at the camera app first and I'll tell you about it right now.
Here we find the typical structure of OneUI: a complete application with settings that should not be so hidden.
For example, night mode or HDR are found within different menus, with no option to quickly activate and deactivate them from the main screen.
In the same way, a scene optimization is active by default that we recommend deactivating.
Daytime photography The Galaxy Note 10 Lite maintains detail in the three sensors, although it is not consistent in terms of color and exposure between them.
Sharpness.
It is the best word to define the cameras of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite.
While some of
oversharp Using software, the terminal manages to extract detail under any light condition.
Betting on the Pixel Binning, as we are seeing in a good number of models, can create certain inconsistencies at the level of brightness.
In this case we do not find this technology and it is the HDR in charge of managing a good part of the final result.
All three sensors are pretty sharp.
However, greater consistency between the three sensors in terms of brightness and contrast would have been appreciated.
We were surprised by the sharpness of the wide angle and the telephoto, something that has made us fully enjoy photography on this terminal, regardless of the sensor we are on.
using.
Even when we digitally zoom up to 10X, the detail is more than correct.
Night photography When night falls the results get worse, but we still have a good level of detail even with the wide-angle sensor.
Contrary to what we saw on the S10 Lite, there is no aggressive noise reduction here and the sensor manages to capture sharpness, aided by a little artificial "push" that adds detail rather than washing the image.
The night mode makes us obtain brighter photographs, although the results are somewhat artificial and do not contribute much compared to the normal mode.
Regarding the night mode, we have not used it too much since it does not help much, beyond providing some artificial exposure to the photograph.
There are no improvements in dynamic range or sharpness.
Portrait mode (dynamic focus) Samsung continues to refine the formula for its portrait mode.
The clipping is quite good, both with objects and with people.
However, the blur is still somewhat artificial.
To alleviate this, the brand allows adjusting after taking the photograph both the bokeh and the type of the same that is applied, so we can obtain better results with a light editing.
Selfie In the selfie section, correct results.
The level of detail is acceptable, the work of the HDR fulfills its function and if we bet on the portrait it also manages to cut well.
Some other problem with the hair, a failure that few cameras manage to get rid of.
