Snapdragon 855-powered Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite with triple camera debuts in India

It looks like Samsung is on a roll in India. After launching a slew of new gadgets including Galaxy Note10 Lite and Curd Maestro fridge, the South Korean consumer electronics giant is releasing another mobile Galaxy S10 Lite.

As the name suggests, the new Samsung phone is a toned-down version of the premium Galaxy S10 series. But, in certain aspects such as performance, the Galaxy S10 Lite is second to none. It houses Qualcomm's powerful 7nm class Snapdragon 855 octa-core processor, which can clock CPU speed close to 2.8GHz.

Also, it comes with feature-rich photography hardware. The Galaxy S10 Lite sports a triple-camera module-- 48MP (ultra wide) + 5MP (macro)+ 12MP (telephoto) on the back with LED flash. On the front, it ships with a 32MP selfie shooter
