Samsung Galaxy Core: a cheaper alternative to the Galaxy S 4 - Computer World (press release)

last year after the debut of Galaxy S III quickly met its budget mini version of the suffix. Will we see this year’s mini-version of S4? It seems less and less likely as Galaxy Core quite clearly modeled on the design S4. Mirroring offers so there is no manufacturer’s perspective much sense.

The new smartphone will be launched in late May, and in July in selected markets should also make his debut in the DUOS , how Samsung is support for two SIM cards. Be interested in those who have the S 4 can not afford. We do not know exactly how much it will cost Core Galaxy on release, but its specification is pretty average and typical for the lower mid-range. If the operators swallow hook, should not be more expensive than Galaxy S III Mini . The segment from 1000 to 1200 z? seems quite rational. No HD screen preclude a higher price.

Under the hood we find the Galaxy Core 1.2 GHz dual-core processor. Display diagonal 4.3-inch LCD is a classic with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. The camera is only 5 megapixels and there is support for LTE (4G).

Samsung Galaxy Core will be available out of box with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean enriched course TouchWiz overlay. Contains a number of smart features, but can not count on the full package of Life Companion of the same range as the S4.

Core

offer Smart Stay, limiting battery consumption through smart blanking. Another little less is S Voice or support for voice commands, and Motion UI yet familiar with the Galaxy Note. Ran out of applications such as: S Translator, S Travel, S Health. There is no need to dream about solutions such as Smart Pause and Air Gesture. On the other hand, some updates may occur after updating firmware to Android 4.2.

On the plus side it is worth mentioning support for Micro SD memory card allowing to significantly expand 8 GB of built-in flash memory. Samsung also took care to place in the middle of a large battery with a capacity of 1800 mAh.

Galaxy Core definitely not a small smartphone. Its dimensions are 129.3 x 67.6 x 8.95 mm and weighing 124 g
