I must admit that Samsung’s marketing is quite effective. Korean manufacturer launches cheap models confusingly similar to flagowców. Many potential buyers less conscious thought: “And this Galaxy, and this Galaxy, after all, is the same for several times less money.” In this way the winds sales budget models based on advertising devices several times more expensive.
One of these budżetowców is the model of the Galaxy Core Plus. In appearance – S4, only smaller. However, the difference between them is quite substantial. This can be seen above all in the price.
Core Plus SM-G350 we can get too Allegro 530 zł (new, unused copy). So is the price of a minimum of four times lower than the flagship S4. It is also quite heavily promoted by operators in low subscriptions. Whether, despite the much lower amount for which we purchase the phone, we can expect good quality and speed of action

Box Contents
It enjoys the presence of headphones in the box, but they are suitable only for discussions. fleas are standard. For this charger with permanently attached cable and a separate USB cable and two books.
The box itself looks resembles that of model S4 (wood theme.)
Display
Resolution was chosen quite well. You have to pretty much be staring at the screen to distinguish individual pixels. Colors displayed properly, although black is not as black as the AMOLED screens, in the end it just TFT. Visibility in the sun leaves a little to be desired, but there is no tragedii.Panel Touch recognizes up to 5 touch points, is very precise.
The quality of the
That screen is covered with an unspecified glass, which after 2 months of my use is not caught any. Avoid bends too much finger pressure and makes a good impression, as opposed to housing.
Standard for Samsung, it is made of plastic. Unfortunately, this is the cheaper plastic. Housing the powerful compression mercilessly creaks. The rear flap is very flexible and nevertheless stronger clamp the latch moves. The frame runs around the device is plastic imitation of metal – samsungowy standard.
Resistant to fingerprints does not exist. Each time, the slightest touch is very evident.
System Operation
The phone works on very fresh longer version of Android 4.2.2 and is not going to update the norm.
The interface has been seasoned with proprietary TouchWiz overlay, which we know from other galactic smartphones. Despite the many useful features, I’m not satisfied with its operation, as I think most of it. It burdens the processor, it takes a lot of memory and causes a general spreading the interface, although this does not happen too często.System from the start has been equipped with a number of applications, ie. Samsung Apps (recently GALAXY Apps), chaton, Dropbox, and of course the standard applications of Google (Shop Play, Fimy Play, Play Books, Music Play (while maintaining a separate player) and the like) .In daily use, a whole works well, although there are some lag, as already mentioned. It was not until the launch of several larger applications causes compaction process and slowing down the phone (for example, Music Play, Chrome Messenger).
Camera
The phone has a camera with a resolution of 5 MPx as the lighting of the a single LED and autofocus.
The camera interface allows you to choose one of several modes (Auto, Series, Night Mode, Best Shot, Sports, Panorama, Image with sound). We have autofocus with macro mode. Both modes work quickly and well catch the focus.
The overall quality of images, such as the shelf price is good, its Sunday photographers will be satisfied.
Movies are shot in 720p, so too is the maximum resolution files played by a smartphone. At higher resolutions, the image is not smooth. Completed films are quite good quality, also can not complain about the sound quality.
Music
Music played through the speaker on the back of a standard lower shelf. Lacking even a bit of bass, but there is no charczeniu at higher volume levels. Headphone output – here is much better. The volume is very good, the quality does not allow for criticism. There we have developed equalizer with the ability to self-edit individual records.
Telephone Features
Phone Book is the standard for Android solution that add to the individual contact, virtually any amount of information. It looks good, it also works efficiently search the communicator. All thanks to the SmartDial.
The call quality is good, with a small volume of subject for discussions, both in normal mode, and speakerphone. It could be a little louder.
Connecting with the world
There we have a modem operating in the bands 850/900/1800/1900 for EDGE and 900/2100 for 3G. It works in HSPA + technology, providing the transfer of a maximum capacity of 21 Mbit / s. There we have also v802.11 WiFi b / g / n, Bluetooth 3.0, NFC module, through which we can upload images, videos, etc. (Android Beam, S Beam).
The running smoothly , quite quickly.
There we have two browsers. Standard, androids, and Google Chrome. Personally, I recommend using the first one, just works faster.
Battery
Samsung has equipped the model Core Plus Lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1800 mAh.Mimo fairly large capacity, the smartphone is not king in terms of length of life on a single charge.
In practice, every night we have to connect the phone to the charger. Importantly, the need to fully charge the max 1.5 h.
Summary
Samsung Galaxy Core Plus their abilities rather excels in people with less affluent portfolio who want to become familiar with the world of smartphones . They will not be happy with it demanding users, but this model certainly appreciate young people or people looking for a cheap smartphone with a big screen TV.
(sorry for the lack of pictures, the camera drowned in the lake:))
