Although it doesn’t have a variable aperture, however, it promises to take Wider, easier, and more immersive shots.
The second 12-megapixel telephoto f/2.4 2x optical zoom sensor is from the Galaxy Note 9 which is for clear, stable shots, even in the low light situation. It also does have the 12-megapixel f/2.2 super wide-angle camera like the Galaxy Note 10/10+ which is used to zoom in on a subject in distance without compromising the picture quality.
Selfies lovers will get a front shooter of a 32-megapixel f/2.2 sensor. Both cameras are capable of shooting 4K video quality and HDR support.

Other Features
For security, you will get a fingerprint sensor embedded in the display and a facial recognition as well. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite features Bixby, Samsung Pay, and AR Emoji.
The S-Pen which the Galaxy Note series is known for is also available on this one. The S-Pen has a Bluetooth Low-Energy support but lacks a 6-axis sensor, so you can’t do any of the cool gestures you can do with the Galaxy Note 10 S Pen.
However, Samsung did add the Text Export feature which allows users to transfer handwritten notes into text for quick sharing.
