Samsung’s upcoming mid-range smartphone, the Galaxy Core surfaced online a couple of weeks back, and today, the South Korean smartphone-maker has officially unveiled the smartphone.
The specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Core
are in line with what was leaked earlier, and the smartphone gets a
4.3-inch display with a resolution of 480 x 800 (WVGA) pixels. Powered
by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM, the Samsung Galaxy Core
also gets 8GB of storage on-board along with a micro-SD card slot to
further expand the storage space on the smartphone by up to 64GB.
In terms of camera, the Samsung Galaxy core
features a 5 megapixel rear snapper along with a LED flash, while at
the front, there is a VGA camera. Sadly, the rear camera can only
record at a maximum resolution of 480p at 30 frames per second.
The Samsung Galaxy Core runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean,
with Samsung’s Touch Wiz UI on top, which will give you access to some
of Samsung’s exclusive features like Motion UI, Smart Stay, Smart Alert
and S Voice. However, the lack of the latest version of Android on the
Galaxy Core is a bit disappointing.
Samsung has announced that the Galaxy
Core will be released in single-SIM and dual-SIM variants, and while the
dual-SIM version will start shipping in May, the single-SIM version
will hit shelves by July. Interestingly Samsung says that the users
will be able to access both the SIM cards simultaneously on the dual-SIM
version.
Connectivity options on the Samsung
Galaxy core include Bluetooth v4.0, Wi-Fi and GPS. The smartphone will
also pack-in a 1,800mAh battery.
There is still no word as to which countries will get the Samsung Galaxy Core, but considering the mid-range specifications of the smartphone, Samsung will be looking to introduce this device in the emerging markets.
