samsung galaxy core 2 review

Galaxy Core 2 review:

Introduction:
Samsung's lower midrange champion, the Galaxy core line,
got 2nd generation entrant this year with the aptly
named Galaxy core  2 . It is not a huge upgrade over its
predecessor, however, as is the habit with Samsung's
annual updates, and the phone mainly got a 4.7' display and a tad faster processor.
Another ace up its sleeve, pun not intended, is that the core 2 runs the newest Android 4.4.2  kitkat and is splattered with the
newest TouchWiz Nature UX interface from Samsung. Is
this enough to warrant your upgrade, or make you choose it
before the sea of Android midrangers out there? Read on to
find out....

DESIGN:

Molded in the tried and true chubby plastic traditions of
Samsung, the core 2 got a metal look like strong rim ,covering the corners of phone..
it feels tough and provide  extra protection
in core  2 samsung changes the look of phone by changing its old design  that is curve edges to square  edges

 DISPLAY :

It has a DIMENSION of 130.3 x 68 x 9.8 mm (5.13 x 2.68 x 0.39 in) which Weight :138 g (4.87 oz)

It has a poor TFT capacitive touchscreen diaplay, 256K colors

 And has Size

480 x 800 pixels, 4.5 inches (~207 ppi pixel density)

>The colour representation  and viewing angels of the phone are very poor.. even  worst i have seen on this price range.

 The brightness of the phone is also not upto mark..

CAMERA :-

one of the best thing about core 2 is its camera.

it has a 5 mega pixel autofocous camra which provide  a good quality  images.

sharpness and colours of the photos are good enough

It has many features like hdr,continuous shot, paranoma, sound and shot  and many more .. which are very useful and work properly  mostly

 It can record at 480p @30fps

  Which doesn’t  provide that much good quality... it is bit disappointed  but u can't  get better than this at this price in brand like samsung 

OPERATING SYSTEM  (OS) :

samsung galaxy  core run on android  kitkat 4.4.2 which is latest. .

And at this price range its enough

Android 5 lollipop  is also launched  but only Nexus  devices  got that..

Core has a nice UI  and latest android version

That provide you best and latest features   of new android

It has a spectrum 1.2 GHz  quad core processor   which is not that much good as Snapdragon processors but work good...

The performance and processing of phone is not too slow like we see in s duos 2 but it is not that much fast..

phone lags many time

on heavy usage  phone lags many times

But if you are a normal user that don't  do heavy stuff than it work fine enough

It has  768 mb (700) of ram  out of which around  200-250 mb  is available  for us after installing  few apps.

It has 4 gb of internal out of which  only around 2 gb is available  for us

Which feels less something. ..

 One more thing i don't  like about core 2 is it doesn't  have basic sensors 

no light and proximity sensor which make the display  horrible  to view in sunlight  light and while calling.. the phone locks fastly to overcome  the absence  of promixmity sensor..

BATTERY  :- 

It has li-ion 2000 mAh battery which can provide a normal usuage of 6 to 7 hour

But on heavy  usuage it only last for 3 to 4 hour which is less for todays standard

PRICE :- 

 IN INDIA samsung galaxy core 2  price is around 7500 rs , which is very affordable 

 At this price this is one of the best phone you can get..

  The other option i suggest  is android one phones. ..

That is micromax canvas A1

This is also a good option. . 

But  if you trust and a big fan of micromax than only go for A1

 Core 2 is the best set you can get at this price of a big company  like samsung otherwise  thousands  of local brand are available  in market.. if u can take risk you may go for them thats you personal choice

CONCLUSION :

Pros:

SAMSUNG galaxy core has a good design,  specs , latest  android and a good camera 

Good built quality, affordable price 

Cons :

But also we are not  happy with the viewing  angels , display ,battery,no light and promixmity sensor
