Galaxy S10 Lite

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Samsung Electronics is set to launch a Galaxy S20 Lite version with mid-range premium specifications at a lower price.

On the 11th (local time), according to IT specialized media SamMobile and others, Samsung Electronics is developing models SM-G780 and SM-G781, which are presumed to be the Galaxy S20 Lite. The model name SM-G780 is expected to be the successor to the Galaxy S10 Lite (SM-G770). Internally, Samsung refers to this product as the 'Galaxy S20 Fan Edition.'

The Lite version is likely to be released in three models. The SM-G781 released in the United States is a 5G model, while the SM-G780 for the global market can be used regardless of 5G availability. It is known to offer at least 128GB of memory and to come equipped with Android 10 and Samsung's One UI version 2.5.

Galaxy Note10 Lite

As Samsung Electronics released the Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note 10 Lite earlier this year, it is expected to launch a Lite version that reflects the features of the flagship model while lowering the price. Considering the previous model, it is anticipated to be equipped with the Snapdragon 865, the same AP as the Galaxy S20. While mid-range smartphones such as the Galaxy A series have lower AP specifications in exchange for features like cameras or large-capacity batteries, the Lite version has been distinguished by applying the same AP as the S series.

There is also a possibility that it will be released under the name 'Galaxy S20 Fan Edition' instead of Galaxy S20 Lite. An explanation of how it was designed for fans seems necessary. Attention is also focused on whether it can make up for the somewhat sluggish sales due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Earlier this year, Samsung Electronics released the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 Lite versions only in some countries, and it is highly likely that this model will not be released domestically. The price is expected to be set at around $800.
