Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite Review | Why does this phone exist?

- Review of Samsung's Galaxy S10 Lite after a week of using it as my personal smartphone, including a look at the camera tech, PubG performance, battery life and One UI experience. This reimagined version of the original Samsung flagship sports more basic specs and features, for a cheaper asking price. But the Galaxy S10 Lite is still too expensive and lacking vs rivals like the OnePlus 8, which costs almost the same but offers more speed, 5G support, 90Hz display tech and more.
Here in the UK, you can pick it up from £38 a month on Vodafone, or £569 SIM free

I'd say, if you're set on grabbing a Samsung phone, try and find a good deal on the original S10 instead of buying this. Alternatively you can snaffle a Galaxy A51 for around £300 and that'll do most people just fine. The camera tech here isn't much more advanced, while the A-series smartphone still delivers a strong media setup. You can even play PubG Mobile with a respectable frame rate.
Or if you're willing to look elsewhere, check out the excellent OnePlus 8. This premium phone is one of the best around that £500-600 asking price, boasting stronger battery life, a telephoto camera and the latest Snapdragon 865 platform with 5G support. Overall it's a much better mobile, so have a squint at my full review for all you need to know. - Věda a technologie
Snapdragon ist the reason! My s10 Lite battery life is about 1.5x as good as the s10 plus...
both things are reason to get this, also no curved edges and no stupid 90 120 hz refresh rates that just rapes your batery in some time.
@@NostalgicMem0ries Curved edges only Looks Good.... But basically useless and Even harder to use Full screen gestures with...
I love mine and wouldn't trade it for the world.
the specs just don't equal the user experience, theyre such great phones.
If they would have had a glass back on them and wireless charging these CZcams reviews would have been all over them!!!!
But with the 45 watt charger that comes in the box the phone charges to 100% and less than an hour
@@NostalgicMem0ries the 90hz and 120hz screens are in a league of its own. It adds a whole new layer of smoothness in any action, and the s10 plus doesn’t even have a high refresh rate screen
@@yousufmohammad2494 I prefer flat screen
Instead of curved screen
One reason only: Snapdragon. That's why that phone exists.
Yea fix your grammar too
@Joe Al areas? most of world suffer from exynos virus :| unless you are asian or murican ;\ europe should get snapdragon in all phones too :( im happy at least this exists
I was so surprised to see this comes with Snapdragon.
@Joe Al with google/fb stealing all our data i dont see how this will be bigger theft . your few naked pics will not be that big of a deal :))
Yes
6.7" amoled, 180g, snapdragon 855 (isnt exynos)....decent battery and 40w charging...camera better than on ip11...and now prices dropped...
Yes buy it at blackfriday and you got it all. gg
45w*
@@jeshanvincemarcelino9394 nah.... 25W
@@warishayat786 it does support 45w
camera not better than iphone 11. not even close
I've had this phone for a year and it's been a super solid experience overall. I did shatter the top half of my screen a few months back (I dropped it from high up onto concrete, but I had dropped it maybe 50 times before from just my height and it hadn't gained a scratch so I wouldn't say it's a fragile phone) so the selfie camera doesn't work, but that's the only thing that was impacted. The screen is still super bright and vibrant and pics taken from the main camera are as good as ever. My phone runs super smooth all the time, I honestly hadn't even realized it didn't have 90hz refresh. It does get sort of hot if I'm playing certain games, but it cools down quickly. It also gets pretty hot while charging but I get a full charge from 0 to 100 in like 45 mins so it doesn't really bother me. It's got tons of space, I have hundreds of photos and plenty of apps and I still haven't even used half of the storage. My only issue is that the S10 Lite isn't very common in the US so it's hard to find phone cases, and Samsung doesn't seem to accept it as a trade in device. Aside from that, I'd 100% recommend it
Sorry but i disagree with you, this is a great phone and cameras, the s10e was a massive disappointment for a budget flagship, this s10 lite is what the s10e should have been.
It costs already €350 imported (eGlobal) as it should've since launch in my opinion. Anything above €400 is too much for it when there are better options out there.
@@dorayaki5494 although the release price was a little too high, you got to understand that the s10e was also way too much for what we got, at least with this we have some flagships components while maintaining the midrange title.
@MC5 GAMING yeah I got mine for around £350 while I use my older Samsung a70 as my backup.
I agree, it is a brilliant phone
Yes i agree with you! with us now for 420 euros, for that price he definitely has an excellent camera, beautiful display, good battery and snapdragon 855! now it pays to buy and I will buy it!
I didn't even know this phone existed until I heard it's the only one getting Android 13 from the S10 series.
Oh my I've been waiting for this review! Thank you so much 👍👍
I love how Samsung has a phone for every price point.
That's because they actually listen to users ;)
Not a Chinese phone... Good enough reason for me to buy.
By the Samsung is from south Korea and not China
@@praveenkumar-ed8qf everyone knows..
It's made in Vietnam actually, but that's the reason I bought it.
Lmao, I'm sure you also think all parts of your "American" phone are home made and definitely not 99% outsourced from China
@Chinmay C. read it again idiot, he said American phone. Like iPhone etc
purchased this phone last year, absolutely no regrets. Switched from a s9 plus. Great battery - lasts for about 2 days of heavy use, dropped it in water a couple times and still works great, great cameras, great storage, no wireless charging - I never used it, face unlock works great for me as well as the finger print scanner, and much more.
It has the same processor as your old s9 🤣
@@hitchy0755 not true.
S9 plus uses the snapdragon 845 and the s10 lite uses the snapdragon 855.
I have moved to the Note 20 ultra a few months ago because I found one for real cheap locally. The s10 lite is still a great phone to use and have passed it on to my wife. The only thing she doesn't like about it is that it doesn't have the headphones jack and she loved the rear finger print scanner on the s9 plus.
@@user-pm6lf4oz1l I am questioning how someone likes a fingerprint scanner that you have to put your hand at the back to reach
@@endo9881 when we hold our phones, there is no reaching. The scanner is right there, we automatically place our index finger in the middle closer to the rear camera for balance. To unlock, the only reaching there is, is to move the index finger not even an inch.
Also the rear scanners were much more percise and accurate.
Me and my wife barely use the on screen scanners, even on my note 20 ultra I barely use it.
There were times I dropped my phone trying to use the on screen scanner just because of how big it is and the wieght distribution.
@@user-pm6lf4oz1l Idk about you but the physical scanner on my old S7 sucked, then again it was a home button too
Oneplus 8 doesn't have wireless charging, ip rating and telephoto camera. This was so misleading.
Then what? Its gonna be end of the world?
to be honest i dont even need those, all i care is batery life and finaly in europe we can get snapdragon samsung phone.... fuck exynos
@@NostalgicMem0ries Same bro, here in the Philippines also. Chinese phones dominates the midrange segments here with their SD SoCs. OnePlus is good but their camera sucks. Better stick with this goodie, with its flagship features. The 'no IP rating' is depressing though
@@hero4726 yeah at $1500usd.when you can get this device for $450usd currently.
The price difference is so big
Bro...In description u said oneplus8 had telephoto lens but it doesn't have Telephoto lens sir... It had Macro lens(2M.P)
i have this phone and it is Amazing and super fast
Same here. Got it a week ago..switched from iphone. I must admit samsung has better connectivity than iphone
Me too, this phone is my dream phone
It is amazing but the fingerprint sensor is bad
hey can you plz say weather the fingerprint is slow or not.
@@bharathp95 not slow at opening the screen if it detect correctly ( which is unlikely), but the type of sensor is not good. Maybe next update will improve it.
This phone's battery life is superior compared to the S10+ & its a very good phone.
Hey Tech Spurt any ideas which smartphone is best in terms of CAMERA? I was thinking about Galaxy S10 (not lite) but it is a bit old and hard to find from normal distribution not I really like the F1.5 in Galaxy S10.. not sure if there is any good alternative
This is one of the best phones, I moved from redmi to this phone about a year and half back and I never had any complains, it's great. I have had got this phone wet quite a few times and have dropped it few times also but not even a scratch. The performance is smooth and runs Android 12 smoothly and is perfectly optamized for it and has snapdragon 855 which is great.
Can you connect some samsung wireless headphones to this?
Great content as always watching with my S20 plus
I've had mine just over a week now and at first I wasn't keen on it but its actually quite a good phone I've not had a problem my face recognition 🤔
Even Face recognition is faster and more accurate that fingerprint
@@rf7182 ikr
How much SOT do you get
@@Bob-ql7pe +1
Design wise is this similar to s10 and s10 +
Hi Chris! Would you recommend the S10e over this one? Even if it's a year older? I ask mostly in reference to software updates. Both have the same chip, so I would assume updates would pretty much be on par.
If you've not already chosen one, you can't go wrong with either. I'd take whichever you prefer the size of as that's their biggest difference.
S10 lite will get longer software support, has a much longer battery life, bigger screen and in-display finger print scanner.
The S10e has a better build quality, higher DPI screen, waterproofing, headphone jack, stereo speakers and wireless charing.
Can you please compare it to the oneplus 8?
I am due an upgrade from my LG G7thinq and 3 phones to choose from - sony xperia 1 mark 2, iphone 11 pro max or oppo find x2 pro. Why no samsung? UK no snapdragon processor . any recommended advice would be great
Sony Xperia is a good choice but why not s10 lite ? If your daily use is just WhatsApp and CZcams and some web browsing then s10 lite is amazing phone to have (battery 4500)
What would be the rationale for getting the Note 10+ instead of this one? I like the Note better but the price difference seems too high.
Happy that you make the review, 450e in amazon Germany
This is the best samsung phone ever that i've ever had, because in my country their flagship is using exynos, and this is fantastic for my android phone pairing with ip 11 as my primary driver.. the phone is fast thanks to snap 855, the panel is so fanstatic for multimedia watching netflix, k-drama, movies, youtube is amazing sadly no stereo speaker, The UI is fantastic on android 10 smooth af with so much feature .. good amount battery and very fast charging only 65 minutes from 5-100%.. very good camera and video yeah maybe isn't perfect like my ip 11 but still good enough and support gcam to improve the camera result .
Overall i'm really satisfied with these phone
Good to hear that l....I bought s10 lite few days ago and I'm happy with..but I noticed that when I turn off wifi and leave it without power saver or ultra power saver before sleep for 8 hrs the battery drain about 2% or 3% less...is it normal????
@@malekyounes35 it's normal i think, sometimes i loss 4% when standby when i sleep haha, it's android their battery optimization wasn't good like iOS
Same here in Brazil.
@@malekyounes35 : Coming from the S7 and S9, I can tell you, from my own experience, that Samsung batteries are a conundrum. They just drain like crazy, even when not in use !
I've even turned off my phones and simply put away them away only to return to find that the batteries needed charging after one week ! That was why I switched to Huawei. Now, I go through a whole day at work, browsing, calling, CZcams and emails with up to 40% power still left. When I had the Samsung, I had to be careful with how I used the phone, just so I could make the battery last till the end of work. Not kidding.
I m thinking to do video blogging.. is it a good choice for the camera for youtube video?
A fellow DGD fan I see. You have now convinced me to purchase the phone.
awesome video as usual
Can you possibly share the anime wallpapers that use in your reviews?
Is there any issue with s10 lite screen? I have watched some videos stating about greenish tint is visible in dark environment at the bottom side of phone.
Yellow tint as well. Just returned mine back after one week using.Overall it is great phone ,thankfully one thing-Snap 855.Its so fast and keeps 20 apps running in RAM... Recently purchased a replacement - Xiaomi redmi note 9 pro on Snap 720G and IPS screen. Well ,we'll see,maybe there will some new software updates from Samsung wich can fix this screen issues.Or new model worth buiyng for some 'real' price.
What I've had mine for about 6 months and I don't have any screen problems? I can't believe how tough it is too I dropped it yesterday from pocket hight into a hard wood floor with no case and it didn't leave a scratch on it.... This wasn't the first time either.
Never , I've mine for 2 yrs now
My misses has swapped her s10 for the s10 light and she likes it better battery is a lot better and the camera actually pics up more detail.
If you had the choice between getting any of the S10 phones which would you get. I’m stuck between getting the s10 lite or the S10 plus. Which is better?
Good review. I think now that the price has dropped to sub-$500, it's a compelling option once more.
just got this phone yesterday and it is very smooth and faster than my previous phone, A9 2018 which was already beginning to slow down.
Hi, does S10 lite have OIS for taking photos?
End of Samsung s20 final meeting, boss we've still got loads of bits left from the s10's what we gonna do with them.........
Eagerly waiting for the moto one fusion+ review from you!
I like that samsung made the entire phone range look the same. While we lose the prestige feel of high end phones, people will start buying phones based on performance, so manufacturers will be pressed to make cameras and processors cheapers.
Hi good video. Does the Samsung S10 Lite support DEX ? Thanks
Great review bruv
how far does this zoom in?
Oh no Promised Neverland ended yesterday, already missing it.
Are you talking about Promised Neverland manga ??
I just started reading the manga... love it so far
Whats with the lens flare in allot of photos?
Major props for the Dance Gavin Dance self-titled album on your music app.
Please share the link of the wallpaper.
This phone is amazing.
Best mid range phone from samsung or even the best mid range phone for blackfriday very good bundrl all in all price battery camera android10 sd size screen...
I will buy it at blackfriday if u think difrent pls tell me your opinion in a comment
"Why does this phone exist?" In the same breath, "what an amazing phone!!!"

Water resistance-- lol, cheap phones have decent resistance to light rain for short periods
What fool needs to bathe and swim with their phone?
Here in India.... S10 lite and OnePlus 8 costs same.... Which is beyond ridiculous
oneplus have horrible sound recording mic, ruins the whole video experience
@Saakshar Shah every single feature you mentioned is better on OnePlus .. infact 10lite is comparable to OnePlus 7T and not OnePlus 8 ...
@Saakshar Shah well .. that's on you .. you might like the device but S10 lite is not even close to being a flagship killer .. as for brands , heard news about the galaxy note ? So much for brand value ... And the irony .. the term flagship killer was literally coined by OnePlus
hahahahahaha
I have been offered this Mobile for brand new 220£, would that be a good deal today?
Here in the UAE, S10 lites ( 8GB version) costs half that of Oneplus 8 (regular 6GB version) and S10 lite has amazing OIS
Ridiculous ... In india it costs same as oneplus 8.
Bit of a weird phone, had my hopes on extending my relationship with Samsung with a S20e type device. Cheers for the review fella
There is supposed to be a S21e coming next year, but still that's next year. They definitely should have launched an s20e for under £600
take the s10 lite if you live in europe. better prozessor than exynos even the last one is not as good with battery life!
This is basically like a huge S10e
now you have the S20 FE...lmao
I have owned the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite for over a month now and I am very happy with it. I wanted a phone with a bigger sceen, bigger battery, and at least a 855 processor for videos and game playing. The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite smartphone does this at a sakes price of $449.95 at the Best Buy website on May 31st, 2020. The triple camera setup is nice and will take me a minute to enjoy all of the features
Please review the budget Samsung Galaxy A71
What do you (and all you you reading this) think about this vs the Pixel 4a that just came out?
By this I'm neglecting the price difference and and display size. Imagine if both phones were priced equal and the screen size does not matter at all.
wallpaper please at 2:37 . Thankyou
Perfect!!
i'm loving the anime backgrounds
"For wildlife and crap like that!
Ha! priceless. you rock man.
To be honest I think you're about the only person that I've seen him really complain too much about this phone I just ordered it but I just seen your review so hopefully it doesn't disappoint me
same!
Is the s20 worth it over the 10 lite? I have the 9+ but upgrading soon
Nah not for all that extra money and the lite will be supported up till android 12!
Same as s20
This is literally what note 20 looks like.
it will be a pretty good deal if we get this under renewed category like amazon renewed.
Chris, mate could you do a UI showdown. Would be good to see a battle between EMUI v Horrible MIUI v One UI v Realme UI v stock.
Man y u put brightness so low.
Bit of a bizarre viewpoint this. Snapdragon 855, 8GB of ram, 128gb, great screen, great cameras, bought new 2 weeks from from Amazon.com for $450.
That's the best deal in (android) phones right now.
Do you use it now? Would you recommend it, and what are some things you wish were better?
I just ordered mine for that price from Amazon
I m thinking to do video blogging.. is it a good choice for the camera for youtube video?
Oneplus 7t or s10 lite??
Iphone 11 vs Samsung galaxy s10 Lite
Hello all, my main concern about the two phones is which one's battery is going to last me more in a day? I currently own a Samsung galaxy S8 (bought it 1 year ago), and im not very charmed by the battery life(the battery health is perfect). If i use it too much it just can't get me a full day( browsing,videos,messenger,FB). So which one do you think is going to be the battery champion? :)
PS: I never owned an iphone before and im super excited!!
Can you do video calling on the Samsung galaxy s10 lite?
Of course you can!
Since most markets don't get the Snapdragon version of Samsung flagship devices. This phone has Snapdragon 855 in all regions so this phone is a great buy.
Hi really entertaining seeing ur reviews. Kindly review galaxy note 10 lite pls.
What should my next flagship be? I currently have a A51 which isn't a flagship but I wanna get a flagship that'll last for years...any recommendations?
What price I recommend you the Samsung Galaxy S10 lite

Heard the one plus 8 and 8 pro have screen bleeding issues and their amoled is not even close to a samsungs samoled display. There r news of pixel burning issues on the one plus 8 as well ..
Ur wallpaper is awesome
Hahahaha the finger print scanner surely works! I was blowing hot and cold on whether to change my 1+6 to a Lite. I am staying with my 6!
Humourously so am I.
I'm swapping in my 1+5T for the S10LITE
I bought it exactly because it doesn't have an f'ing pointless and irritating curved screen, and I was pretty happy it didn't have a stupid glass back. It's in a case, after all.

i did buy this phone Samsung's Galaxy S10 Lite 3 weeks ago with 450 USD and i find it good and fast i living in saudi arabia ( middle east ). usually we dont get Qualcomm Snapdragon in samsung in our region and we dont have oneplus phones selling officially in the saudi arabia market so i find it good choose :) only wish support Wireless charger :( " cheers ^_^
where is the review of xperia 1 II
I got mine A grade for £400 from CEX. Probably has the best macro camera with the 5mp as most use 2mp
I have this exact phone, when i goto take a picture it literally takes 5 seconds before it takes the picture after pressing it. Sometimes when im watching youtube videos it gets all glitchy but its rare for it to do that, Also this phone likes to give me security updates every 2 weeks
Just bought one one eBay $409 brand new sealed in box! One plus 8 $800 so I'm not gonna complain bout the 855 chip
Big Brite Screen and it's a Samsung, and oh yeah the cameras idk what you're looking at but my pic are supper good even in low light. pix at nite and it looks like day or dusk and that's without the night mode, super steady recording is flawless! The note 10 lite is also a steal. They're not meant to compare they're just different, go on eBay and try to find a reame x50 or OnePlus 8 for under 800 dollars sealed in box and you'll see what I mean...
Unlocked GSM of course ,,, Cheers mate
Amen Bro 🤪🐾❗

How a review of the
note 10 lite?
I've had this since March. I got it for £500 on 02, plus there was an £80 cashback redemption offer upon release.
It's been the best phone I've ever had. The video quality is outstanding, battery is amazing, and Snapdragon is a big step up from Exynos it seems.
Not sure on pricing now, but if you're after a huge screen, long lasting battery and amazing quality video, this is the phone for you.
The only downside is that the main camera, for photos, sometimes struggles in poorly lit settings. That's it!
I'm looking forward to buy this phone but I wanna know if the selfie camera is perfect? .....cause well that's my main concern
Design wise is this similar to s10 s10+
In my country The cheapest version of one plus 8 is 775 dollars and s10 lite costs around 546 dollars so i don't understand how are you comparing both of them together with different price tag
Should i get the A71 or S10 lite?
71
Loot
Depends on your budget! The S10 lite is better but more expensive.
S10 lite has SD chip , and the battery life is really good . try to get this . it's worth the money
Everybody is recommending 90hz, but some reveiws say that phone doesn't always run at 90hz, it depends upon the apps we use. And there is hardly any app which support 90hz. So why to go for 90hz refresh rate. 60hz and high end processor, isn't it enough?
90Hz true purpose is gaming, especially FPS game. But now, the only FPS game on smartphone is Game for peace (chinese version of PUBGM). Other than that is "extra smooth" movement when u read etc.
Exactly. Barely any games support high refresh rate let alone apps. Only one that I know of is dead cells which bugs out at high refresh rate anyways.
Because they want you to think you need it .....To sell phones....which is what they do. Anybody who knows anything about displays knows the 90hz will only help you with anything at 61 to 90 fps content which at this point is pretty much nothing but some GAMES .. So if you're not a gamer..... YES 60 hz is plenty. You might want to ask yourself why the vast majority of laptop displays are still at 60hz? And the answer would be because that is all that is necessary for crisp clear viewing for your average user. You do get a lot of good factual information from these reviewers. But don't forget this is their business, so if they crap on any phone too hard they lose that sponsor or maybe even the free test phone. So listen to the facts and take the opinions with a grain of salt.
the problem with 90hz is that it reduces battery life and results in bad colour reproduction. that is why it is switched off for the ui. you only need it for gaming
@@rf7182 Yeah... They show how it scrolls smooth by scrolling it too fast. I mean who scrolls that fast. 😆
