Both models are blessed with stylus, the signature 'S' pen of Galaxy Note series. The resolution of Galaxy Note 10 'Lite' is lower (1080 x 2400 pixels at 20:9 ratio) than it's 'Plus' counterpart.

Technology

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite actually beats its elite ancestor 'Note 10 Plus' by virtue of its latest operating system 'Android 10 Go' edition. However, Lite model's old version chipset (Exynos 9810) falls behind the high-end processor (Qualcomm SM8150 Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9825) owned by the 'Plus' model. By virtue of octa-core processor, Galaxy Note 10 Lite smartphone is expected to deliver smooth and fast operation, like its Plus version.

Memory

For both versions, the memory can be extended up to 1 TB inserting micro SD card. It won't be overwhelming to say that with extended memory, the Galaxy Note 10 series smartphones can almost serve like a desktop PC or laptop in storing files, songs, media, movies, games, etc.

Sensors

Connectivity
