On the other hand, the Galaxy Note10 Lite ships with the company's proprietary Exynos 9885 CPU and features a triple 12 MP camera (ultra-wide + wide + telephoto lenses) on the back with LED flash.

Another aspect that differentiates Galaxy Note10 Lite from the S10 Lite is the S Pen. It comes with Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) support, which means the user can navigate a presentation, control your video content or take a picture, all with a simple click of the S Pen.

It also supports the Air Command feature, which will give the user quick and easy access to the signature S Pen features. The Samsung Notes app makes note-taking faster and easier when on the go. The user can also turn those handwritten notes into text for easy editing and sharing.
