Ahead of CES 2020 in Las Vegas next week, Samsung took the wraps off the Galaxy S10 Lite and the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. The timing of this launch and the mere existence of these two devices is a peculiarity, to say the least, but one thing is clear about the duo: They're Samsung's best bet to compete with value flagships from brands like Xiaomi and OnePlus. The Galaxy S10 Lite features a triple rear camera setup, a centered punch-hole 6.7-inch display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, a 32-megapixel camera setup, and more. The Galaxy Note 10 Lite features similar dimensions but a smaller punch hole, a now 2-year-old Exynos 9810 processor, and an S-Pen.

These two smartphones are notably cheaper than the other devices in Samsung's flagship line up. The Note 10 Lite starts at €599 while the S10 Lite starts at €649. If you can't afford the full-fledged flagships in the S10 or Note 10 series, these two phones could be worth considering. If you get one, you might as well get started with modding it and tweaking it so it's really your phone. To aid in that, we've opened forums for both the S10 Lite and the Note 10 Lite so you can find the latest on custom ROMs, rooting, modding, and more.
