Samsung is apparently readying a Galaxy Note 6 Lite version of its next-generation flagship phablet, and the specs are not shabby at all.
As the name itself suggests, the Lite version of the Galaxy Note 6 will have slightly watered-down specs compared to the flagship, but it will nonetheless be a powerful device.
Based on the latest leak, the Galaxy Note 6 Lite will not compromise too much in terms of specifications. Here are the main differences, as reported on Weibo.
Display
The flagship Galaxy Note 6 is expected to rock a 5.8-inch display with a QHD resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels, whereas the Lite version will reportedly feature a lower Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels on the same 5.8-inch screen size.
Processor
While the flagship Galaxy Note 6 is rumored to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 823 processor under the hood, the Lite version will reportedly pack a Snapdragon 820. It's worth pointing out here that the Snapdragon 823 is essentially a slightly improved version of the Snapdragon 820, but the latter is still a beast on its own. The Galaxy Note 6 should also launch in an Exynos-powered variant, and the same could apply to the Lite version, albeit this remains unclear for now.
RAM
The Galaxy Note 6 Lite will reportedly have lower RAM as well compared to the flagship, but that doesn't mean it won't be competitive. The flagship Galaxy Note 6 may rock a hefty 6 GB of RAM, but the Lite version will still offer a solid 4 GB of RAM that should allow it to easily handle virtually any task you throw at it.
Long story short, this leak hints at a Galaxy Note 6 Lite with basically the same specs as the Galaxy S7 flagship smartphone, but in a larger form factor and with a 1080p display.
As with any leak, a hefty dose of skepticism is advised. While it would be quite exciting if accurate, this leak could also prove to be way off. It's always best to wait for the official announcement, and we'll make sure to keep you up to date as soon as Samsung confirms anything.
