In the spring of 2013, Samsung presented a creation called the Samsung Galaxy Core to the masses. This rather high-quality device only reached the shelves in our country in the summer. I would like to note that this smartphone has become interesting due to a very active and vibrant advertising campaign. Probably only those who do not hear and do not see at the same time do not know about the Galaxy Core line.
It's been more than a year since the release. I wonder what rating users put on this gadget? Let's do a little analysis of the Samsung Galaxy Core, reviews of which are quite different at the moment. And draw our own conclusions.
Screen
Mobile modern device Samsung Galaxy Core, thanks to its fairly high-quality screen, produces an excellent picture. The diagonal of the TFT display is 4.3 inches, which is a good indicator for a device of this price category. The matrix has a resolution of 800x480 pixels. It is worth noting that on such a screen it is very easy not only to surf the Internet, but also to edit various kinds of documents. Quite wide viewing angles and the most natural color gamut are not typical for modelsof this class, but Samsung rewarded its Galaxy Core with just such a display. Having collected all the characteristics of the screen, adding to them a good sensitive sensor and multi-touch, we get almost perfect characteristics for which this smartphone is worth loving.
Hardware
The Samsung Galaxy Core gadget has a great advantage over its counterparts precisely because of its high performance. Naturally, now you can already find quad-core smartphones, but at the time of release, the two cores available in this gadget stood out against the background of ordinary weak Android phones. The indicator of each core is 1.2 GHz. Complete with 1 GB of RAM, they make the smartphone "fly". Naturally, very strong Galaxy Core applications will not pull, but full-fledged work with the average level is provided.
Built-in 8 GB memory allows you to store videos, music and photos. Naturally, it is not enough for active use. For this reason, memory expansion with a microSD card up to 64 GB is also provided.
GPU is quite powerful for a mid-range device. You can be sure that there will be no jerks and all sorts of "lags" in demanding games.
Dual SIM function
Modern mobile device Samsung Galaxy Core does not exclude the possibility of using two SIM cards. They fully function independently of each other. Naturally, this solution is quite good, but consumption increases.battery charge, which significantly affects the operating time.
Cameras
The smartphone we are considering has two cameras: main and front. The first is also equipped with an LED flash. The front camera has at its disposal a matrix of 0.3 megapixels. It is not enough to take normal pictures, but it is quite enough for making video calls. The main camera has a separation capacity of 5 megapixels. In general, the pictures from it are normal, but in low light there is “noise” and image graininess. Naturally, it's far from a professional camera, but it's pretty good for a mobile multifunctional gadget.
Software and operating system
The Samsung Galaxy Core smartphone runs on Android version 4.1.2. At the time of release, it was the newest version that was used in smartphones. The battery consumption of this version of the OS is small and at the same time the data processing speed is not impaired.
Google Now and ChatOn services were supplied with the smartphone. They allow you to quickly search for places and exchange messages with friends. Additionally, I would like to note the following functions:
1. Intelligent waiting. This function easily recognizes the user's eyes and does not allow the system to turn off the screen while he is looking at it.
2. Also very interesting is the "Smart Alert" feature. When the owner picks up a smartphone that has missedcalls or SMS, the program will recognize the movement and notify you of the events that have occurred.
3. The camera also has its own unique addition called Best Shot. This utility allows you to select the clearest and highest quality frame from all that were taken in multi-shooting mode.
And also: voice control, voice lock, motion control and much more.
Battery
This gadget called Samsung Galaxy Core has a fairly powerful 1800 mAh battery. Judging by the reviews of the owners, it is quite enough for active use throughout the day. But due to two simultaneously working SIM-cards, the battery life is slightly reduced.
Conclusions
Shortly after the release of the smartphone in question, a more advanced model called Samsung Galaxy Core 2 appeared. Reviews about it are more flattering. But at the time when the first model came out, it was one of the best. All the features speak for themselves. In general, in one word - Samsung Galaxy Core perfectly matches its price category.
