It is the same phone that’s supposed to be called the Galaxy S8 Lite
Over at China, Samsung unveiled a new phone that closely resembles last year’s Galaxy S8. Called the Galaxy S Light Luxury, this phone packs a 5.8-inch Full HD+ display and has the same size as the Galaxy S8. The differences lie in the internals, as this variant sports a Snapdragon 660 processor paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage.
Also different is the rear camera, as the Galaxy S Light Luxury comes with a 16-megapixel f/1.7 rear camera that’s most likely the same camera used in the Galaxy A8 (2018), A8+ (2018), A6 (2018), and A6+ (2018). Check out the spec sheet below:
