It looks like Samsung’s prepping a more affordable Galaxy Note 10 model, dubbed the Galaxy Note 10 Lite, according to an exclusive report from SamMobile. The website has also verified production of a Galaxy S10 Lite, making it the fourth variant in its lineup, joining the S10, S10 Plus, S10e.
While the Note 10 came in two variants this year, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus and the slightly less-expensive Galaxy Note 10, these models focused on offering users a pair of premium Note devices in two distinct sizes with very little tangible difference. Samsung delivered in this area, but the smaller, slightly less expensive Note 10 isn’t particularly affordable, starting at $949. A less expensive version would be a first for the Note line and could offer customers the S Pen experience at a more palatable price.
The report confirms black and red color options, as well as a Europe-bound launch for the Note 10 Lite, but no details have been provided yet on U.S. models. It’s also not clear at this time what will be different internally between this latest Note edition and its twin predecessors, but being a Note device, an S Pen is requisite hardware.
News of the Galaxy S10 Lite offers us more in the way of details. Expected hardware includes Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 processor with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage, as well as a 4,500mAh battery with 45-watt charging. In back, you can expect a 48 megapixel main camera, 12 megapixel ultrawide, and 5 MP depth-sensing camera. In front, we’re looking at a 32 megapixel camera with a 6.7-inch Full HD+ display.
These specs largely take after Samsung’s A-series lineup, particularly the Galaxy A91, rather than any devices in the S10 series. In our time with some of Samsung’s latest A-series phones, particularly the Galaxy A50, we found that while performance and styling wasn’t lacking, the camera systems were. If the S10 Lite lands in the $500-$600 price range, it will face stiff competition from the OnePlus 7T, iPhone 11, and Pixel 3a. The Note 10 Lite could draw comparisons to similar models, but if its specs match up more closely to the originals, it could be better equipped to compete.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
