The S10 Lite is available in a range of colours, has a small pin-shaped hole at the top-centre of the screen for the front-facing camera and sports a 3D Glasstic design that gives the appearance of a glass back, remains strong and durable and reflects light beautifully.

The Note10 Lite, meanwhile, is part of Samsung's Note Series - so you can expect that S-Pen to be tucked away discreetly inside the phone. The device has a metal frame and an ombre-like effect on the back, and it also features the edge-to-edge Infinity O display design. As for measurements, you'll be able to lose yourself in whatever you're watching thanks to the huge 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite vs Note10 Lite - Camera

Photography on either Samsung phone will be effortless, and you can expect great results from the Samsung S10 Lite and Note10 Lite. There are a few key differences to consider however when it comes to deciding which of the two handsets to go for.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite has the best specs, with a triple-lens rear camera system consisting of a 48MP main camera, 12MP Ultra Wide camera and a 5MP Macro camera. This mix of lenses will give you the freedom to get creative with your photos: the 12MP Ultra Wide lens can shoot at an impressive 123 degrees so you can truly do justice to the landscape around you while the 5MP Macro Lens homes in on the small stuff, beautifully capturing every detail without faltering in quality.

The Samsung Note10 Lite also features a triple-lens rear camera, with three individual 12MP lenses. There's a wide lens camera, an Ultra Wide camera and a telephoto camera to help you master the art of bokeh.

Speaking of bokeh - the blurred background effect - it can be created via Live Focus on the Galaxy Note10 Lite and S10 Lite's front-facing camera. The selfie camera on both phones measures 32MP, and is excellent at catching portrait shots.

You can apply Live Focus to your videos before or after filming exclusively on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, and this handset also has a built-in video editing suite, plus a Zoom-in Mic which has been designed to help you turn up certain parts of an audio clip, and turn down others (such as background noise).
