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
You may check other options available in market
Comment must what you think about this review and about core 2
