As already mentioned in previous entries in this month I managed to get some really interesting devices. Once you’ve Lumia 720 and the Asus laptop came time to write a review of Samsung Galaxy Core. With Samsung’s smartphones have already rather long contact. For a year I used the first Galaxy Ace, which I replaced with a newer version of “Ace”. I think that two years spent with mid-range devices of the Korean manufacturer has given me a lot of experience that will allow me to look specifically at the Galaxy Core.
In my first “Ace” too reminded the iPhone. I did not want to have a smartphone that only has to be an imitation of an Apple product. Not happy also because the tragic performance I decided to finally change the phone for a different model. My attention was caught at the beginning of the HTC One V, which due to the awkwardness of the mobile operator was not able to get it. After transferring a number to play, I noticed that for almost the same money I can have a Galaxy Ace 2
Samungowi decided to give a second chance. After a year of the second generation of “Asa” I know nothing better in a similar price range, I could not get it, but I realized that Ace 2 is still not a very good device. Took me quality and mobile system from Google, which is the Android version 4.1.2 for the 768 MB of RAM is still not enough.
know that Samsung makes great tops smartphones, so even though the job which gave me Ace and Ace 2 without much hesitation I decided to give this giant from Korea and one more chance to take the test Samung Galaxy Core.
Design
Samsung for a long time trying to keep their desingu, which has been distributed through the model Galaxy S3. I remember when I first saw pictures of the new flagship model, the Korean giant. Appearance is not quite to my liking, for me S3 was just awful. My opinion changed after seeing this smartphone live. The new design to my liking, and even began to believe that the new Galaxy S is one of the nicer facilities with green robot.
If you would get to hand Samung Galaxy Core not knowing what model it is currently holding would argue that this is the Galaxy Ace 3 Core pretty much like the other “Ace”. According to my smartphone, which currently has a design which I test something between Ace 2 and Galaxy S4.
Unfortunately, as in other models of its manufacturer has chosen to plastic housing. The good news is that the plastic used seems to be quite resistant. I have the impression that it is easy to let the hardware hand, because of the use of quite slippery material to cover the rear of the enclosure.
In my current Ace 2 I really like the fact that Samsung has applied to the tailgate slightly rugged material, making the smartphone a lot more confident in my hand. I am afraid that after a long time of use Core Galaxy would have to go to the unofficial site in order to repair a damaged after the fall of the element. With its rounded corners, and a streamlined casing this model Samsung great in the hand. I do not have any problem using one hand to handle the entire screen.
The entire front is covered with tempered glass resistant to scratches. Above the 4.3 inch screen you will find a front webcam and a speaker to talk. While below the display were characteristic of Samsung’s 3 buttons: menu, home and back.
The middle button is mechanical home, while the other two microphones. On the back the words “Samsung” find a rear camera, speaker and LED lamp.
the right side was a key lock / unlock the phone. In contrast, on the left side you will find a button to adjust the volume. Sorry, but lacked the physical camera shutter button. I still can not get used to take pictures using only the touch screen.
On the top edge you will find audio connector, and microphone were down in addition to microUSB connector. The edge was covered with silver plastic, which is to imitate aluminum. With this smartphone looks much preferably, but I’m afraid that the first signs of use will be visible just on the silver border.
For me, one of the biggest advantages of Samsung smartphones is easy access to the battery, in this model, manufacturer, fortunately, does not try to make happy users by force. There is no problem to remove the rear hatch and remove the battery. Many manufacturers are increasingly opting to access the battery had only a formal service which for me is a considerable disadvantage. If you’re already using elements for which I appreciate Samsung is also worth mentioning about the memory card slot. A large part of the top new smartphones has only built-in memory, we can not extend the space for our data using a memory card.
Samsung even in its flagship Galaxy S4, which has a lot of built-in memory, give us the opportunity to further its expansion. For me, the most convenient way of ripping pictures or other data from the device is to use the slot for the memory card in my laptop, I do not have to play kabelkami, I do not need to install any additional software, etc. Therefore, the possibility of using the microSD card on your smartphone is enough for me important element. Samsung Galaxy Core uphold the great tradition of big brothers.
Screen
Core Samsung Galaxy has a 4.3 inch screen with a resolution of 480×800, which has become a kind of standard for smartphones with a diagonal of about 4 inches. For me, the number of pixels in the horizontal and vertical in this smartphone is more than sufficient. The applied screen was made in the TFT technology. Color reproduction and viewing angles are standing on a very high level. One element to which I can not fault the quality of black, which is a little lacking this we will see in the screen using ClearBlack technology.
Service screen is a real pleasure, there is no delay, our endorsement are read immediately. As I mentioned earlier, I have no problem to handle the Galaxy Core with one hand. For me comfortable screen size on your smartphone ends when to move the items I need to use two hands.
System
This model was equipped with the latest TouchWiz Nature UX overlay known even of the Galaxy S4 and already nienajnowszego Android version 4.1.2. However, there is a good chance that Samsung will soon release an update to version 4.2. At the end of the model Galaxy Core Plus was released just with the newer version.
I know that the current version of the green robot is numbered 4.4, but as with smartphones, the mobile system should be glad that all I want to spend the device manufacturer for updates. With dual-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz and 1 GB of RAM system from Google works as well, but I know from personal experience that over time could be much worse.
Cover Samsung provides us with ample opportunity for personalization. For up to seven desktops can freely arrange application icons and widgets. A large part of the widgets can further customize by changing the size, the larger takes up more space, but it provides us with additional information, the smaller allows us to gain additional space, but the amount of data displayed is much poorer.
A very interesting feature is the Smart stay, ie the possibility of the backlight all the time when we look at him. At first I was skeptical that this technology. As it turned out in practice wrongly.
The function works without a problem, even in low light. Satisfied with this solution should be all the followers of reading articles on the smartphone. At first, I was convinced that the Samsung Galaxy Core keeps our eyes, but is detected, our whole face. Even if we locked eyes still screen is constantly illuminated.
Specification
Samsung Galaxy Core is as follows:
I do not know whether it makes sense for me to enter the length of keeping the battery at the time. Everyone uses the smartphone in a different way, using different settings, so I decided to give quite generally how much time is able to withstand the Galaxy Core without the charger. I noticed that the battery lasts like in my Galaxy Ace 2 Every day I have to connect the smartphone to the outlet. The screen brightness set to have about 50%. A significant majority of the time I look Inernet, occasionally play some games.
applied processor and graphics chip quietly allow us to play most games without any hangups. Samsung Galaxy Core tested with games such as Angry Birds and Angry Birds Go! and both games work smoothly without any exemptions animation.
camera and sound quality
The quality of pictures taken during the day you can not attach too much. Camera Samsung Galaxy Core with a resolution of 5 megapixel shows his weakness only at a worse light. Please do not suggest the quality of thumbnail images placed here if you want to see pictures in full resolution click on the link under the photo.
rear camera lets you record videos at 720p resolution. The quality is really decent. I would like to throw some interesting video showing the possibilities of the camera, but my two males did not have ideas for the next record.
supplied headphones is unfortunately the average quality of the so-called flea. Similar can be found in many other models of the manufacturer. I think that for the majority of the original handset Samsung should be more than sufficient. It is noteworthy that the main speaker that despite the small size of the game really well.
music player is the same as in other models of Samsung with Android 4.1 or later. For me, the Samsung software is one of the best, practically I do not have what to attach.
Create your own playlist is convenient, simple and intuitive operation, and the number of audio playback configuration satisfactory.
Summary
The title of the entry, I wrote that the Galaxy Core may be the perfect smartphone fills a very narrow gap between the Samsung Galaxy Ace and S mini. If someone would give me the model Samsung is not giving his name. I would argue that I got to test Ace 3 I think that the Samsung Galaxy Core can find many buyers, users who do not want to buy a large masthead nearly 5-inch smartphone, and yet would like to have a powerful device with Android as new. For most users, 5 megapixel camera capable of recording videos in HD quality should be sufficient. For me, a big plus wszytkich smartphones Samsung is easy access to the battery and the ability to extend the built-in memory using memory cards. I’m still not able to understand why many other manufacturers trying to get away from those two elements.
Although the quality of materials used is Average, photos taken in low light conditions are poor, and the manufacturer is trying to cut costs on multiple items I strongly recommend the Samsung Galaxy Core all looking smartphone with a 4 inch screen. According to me in its price segment this model of Samsung is one of the best “Androidowych” headphones.
