Hi guys,

The lite have a circle around blinking around the front camera and the plus don't have this.

Did you buy the 10 lite used? I have a 10lite with aod notify installed it shows a ring around camera for notifications. So if you bought it used maybe its installed. Other than that not sure. Camera also has a lighted ring when you switch between front camera and rear camera, but its white.

No. It's brand new.

And I have the AOD notify in my Note 10 plus.

It's like a sensor. And just happens with the screen on.

same thing

Same situation here, it has nothing to do with face unlock or notification system, tried everything, always the same thing. Its like popping up around front camera every 5-6 seconds when on lock screen, and sometimes when scrolling through certain apps. Maybe some kind of camera-cut-out-pixels protection? Its an odd software behavior without any explanation from Samsung.

It appears during a video call too, and looks like a larger circle, like that one the other samsung products.

Also sry, for being off topic, i wanted to know how is your s pen working, because the nib of mine feels a little loose.

It is as @j.canlas mentioned. Smart Stay is tuned on, it checks if you are facing directly on the screen or not (to lock the display). I also kept on searching for what it was when the device was new to me, it bothered me a lot. :)
You can disable/enable it under Settings > Advanced Features > Motions and Gestures.
