Update: April 17, 2020 (2:00 PM ET): The Galaxy S10 Lite is now available for purchase in the United States. Right now, you can pick one up from Samsung’s website for only $399 with an eligible trade-in, and you will also get two months of ad-free YouTube. You can also get $200 off from Best Buy if you activate the handset on either Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. Purchasing the handset from Amazon won’t get you a discount, but you will get a free pair of Galaxy Buds.

At $650, the handset could be a hard sell right now, but these discounts and add-ons might just make it worth your while. You can pick one up at the links below.

An affordable flagship

Samsung tries to capture the value-flagship segment with the Galaxy S10 Lite. It features the Snapdragon 855 CPU, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of expandable storage, a 4,500mAh battery, a triple camera setup, and a plastic chassis.

Original: April 16, 2020 (4:00 PM ET): Samsung just announced the Galaxy S10 Lite would be available in the US tomorrow — April 17 — for $650, and it couldn’t come at a worse time. The international variant has been available for some time, but the US version’s release follows a series of unfortunate events.

Then compare the Galaxy S10 Lite to the recently announced OnePlus 8, and it won’t be very appealing to a lot of folks. For $700, you can pick up the much more premium OnePlus 8.

Now, the Galaxy S10 Lite is no slouch in terms of specs. It features a decent 6.7-inch FHD display, a triple camera setup, the Snapdragon 855 CPU, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of expandable storage, a 4,500mAh battery, and a plastic chassis. But the OnePlus 8 features the updated Snapdragon 865, a 90Hz high refresh rate panel, and significantly better build quality. Overall, the OnePlus 8 makes that extra $50 worth the upgrade.

To make matters worse, Apple just announced the latest iPhone SE the other day. This entry-level iOS device undercuts the Galaxy S10 Lite’s price by a whopping $250. Plus, it features Apple’s latest A13 Bionic chipset, an IP67 rating, wireless charging, and an aluminum and glass chassis.
