BEJING – Samsung launches Galaxy S Light Luxury which was previously rumoured to be called Galaxy S8 lite.
The Galaxy S Light features a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED Infinity Display panel with 1080 x 2220 pixel resolution and 18.5:9 aspect ratio.
The new smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset and 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
The phone has a single camera on the back – 16 MP sensor and a f/1.7 aperture. It can record 4K video at 30 fps but lacks OIS. The selfie camera has an 8 MP sensor and f/1.7 aperture.
Given the Galaxy S Light Luxury’s size, it shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s a 3,000 mAh battery – the same capacity as the Galaxy S8. There’s support for fast wireless and wired charging, the latter of which goes over the USB-C port. The phone is IP68 waterproof as expected.
It has a 3.5 mm headphone jack and comes bundled with an AKG in-ear headset. FM radio is enabled out of the box. There’s a fingerprint reader on its back, but Samsung did not take the opportunity to correct its position. Iris scanning is also on board.
The Samsung Galaxy Light Luxury is available only in China for CNY 4,000 ($625) and it’s currently available in Burgundy Red, though a Black Night version should launch later on.
