I found very cheap this phone 400₡ from previous buyer almost new (1-2 days use). For those money is fantastic.
Those all works in all s20 line of Samsung (galaxy s20, s20plus, s20ultra, note 10, note 10+ and other Samsung phones

Sorry for the quality of the video (I used a note 8 for video recording. Perhaps it was to close..)
This is galaxy s10 lite 8 giga ram.
Phone is lite only in name. It is actually faster than s20 galaxy line with exynos, and have much better battery due to snapdragon versus exynos and probably due to lower resolutio . You can search other video in YouTube if you don't believe it..
I know it is very strange for such a cheaper phone.

**Fingerprint sensor accuracy :
I use a screen tempered glass screen protector very bad quality .It is not for this phone, it is for galaxy A70. Although the bad quality of the tempered glass (its probably plastic ) which made very difficult to add fingerprint, as you see in video is very fast and accurate.
I added 3 times the same finger. It helps alot. Also in settings check the option in settings: Display: Increase screen sensitivity.
**Setup / transition effects / Display size :
I use nova launcher, Google companion, crios x icon pack (iPhone like).
I have enabled developers option and change transition effects to 0.5
Samsung give 3 options 0 , 0.5 , 1 (1 is default but I suggest 0.5 which is the standard for almost every other phone, except Samsung.

I prefer even lower transition effects, but not 0. In this video I have set 0.2 transition effect although you see 0.5
Anyone who want to do this (it works in all Samsung phones), must use connection with pc, adb (Google it) and use this commands from the pc:

adb shell
settings put global window_animation_scale 0.2
settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.2
settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.2

I also have change in developer option as you see in video: Size from 411 (default for this phone) to 492 (everything goes smaller in screen including the ui, not only fonts).

**Debloating:
-Also I have debloated the phone by using package disabler from playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kinder.pksafety
and freeze all those apps & services which I don't use:
This is my list, you can download and load to package disabler from : import from xml choice .
Warnings : You must already have installed another launcher (for example nova) before trying.
This list can be used only as a base, because everyone is using different things, so must freeze different services. Anyway this list has been tried to many Samsung phones without problem, but you do it (if) in your own risk. After you load it, you can add, or delete services:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jq9lrioawu3yx0v/178 from disabledpackages.xml?dl=0

. ** Other:
- I use Granular Immersive Mode (playstore app, needs adb also) to change how every app (you can select to use it only to apps you want) is displayed.
In Facebook you see in the video, you see the hole of the camera inside Facebook display . As in youtube. Most apps just display black bar when is camera , so you loose screen . You don't have really full screen. Anyway , this app can do this but for very few apps, like Facebook for example.
But have other options useful . Eg hide statusbar , softkey per app etc.

- In android 10 Samsung has made battery statistics (eg screen on time) very confusing . It meters per day and not when you unplug phone from charger.
If you want the old measurement (screen on time from when unplugged ) use from playstore
Gsam battery monitor pro. (If you want more statistics , per app battery consumption etc, this app also needs adb).
- Also in video you see the app sideactions from playstore (adb needed also..). It is bxactions for phones without Bixby button. With this I use double press power button as back key.
Also in screen on, lockscreen I use volume up/down to change songs.
You can set many other, flashlight etc.

- You don't see in the video but another must have application (playstore) is aodNotify.
Phone doesn't have a notification led, so this app uses a ring in camera to light when you have a notification . You can setup in which apps you want to work. I have setup it only for Facebook messenger phone calls and SMS.
It consume very little power as it can work without AOD.


- My record screen on time until now. Very impressive :
1 hour 40 minutes screen on time , and 90% battery..
I had almost 11 hours screen on time per day.. (Thanks norovirus for this, and all day staying home).
Lite usage: Facebook , youtube, internet browsing, in wifi.

Galaxy s10 lite vs s20

https://youtu.be/tcWkqollBXc

In the video you see s10 lite is faster than s20.
The same for s20, s20 plus, s20 ultra, as they have the same hardware.
Only in camera s20 line are better.
Also battery much better in s10 lite..
Which is the real lite here? :)

But if you compare s10 lite vs s20 snapdragon 865 version, then the s20 is faster.
Exynos is not good at all..

I would like to add the Good Lock app to the list, it's a must have app, with it you can customize a lot of things on one ui like the task changer, navbar, quickpanel, one hand mode...

Edit: it's a no-root app, developed by samsung itself

Package disabler stopped working for me after the update to android 11. I used another free app for this, it is very good :
You can copy past your list of the disabled apps in xml file tha package disabler load, then edit xml file of shieldx app and past the same list here. Just keep some lines at star, you will understand if you edit.
Then load this list to shieldx, working.. Also has a adblock etc.
You just have to register for free to use this app.
