Samsung’s new phone for the Kenyan market is the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. This is a stripped down version of their October flagship, and is meant to bring more people to the Note experience.

We had estimated it would cost KES. 65000, but Samsung has said it is setting an RRP. of 57,999 which is quite acceptable for this device.

What you need to know is you’re not getting the flagship Note 10 here. There are major differences between the new Lite and the bigger siblings. This can be seen in the design, material used, the cameras and processor.

The Lite is not waterproof, and you also won’t be getting wireless charging. The good thing is the same S-Pen you get on the flagship is included here, and all its features work the same.

You get an Exynos 9810 processor, 6/8GB of RAM, with 128GB storage. There’s a triple camera setup at the back, and a single 32MP selfie on the front. There’s a huge 4500mAH battery too.

You can pick it up from Monday 10th February from Samsung stores countrywide
