Short Review

  • The Samsung Galaxy Core II features a compact design with dimensions of 130.3 x 68 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 138g, utilizing a glass front and plastic back.
  • Its 4.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 207 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU paired with 4GB of RAM, providing sufficient power for everyday applications.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • The 2000 mAh battery supports standard usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone is available in white and black colors, providing limited aesthetic choices.
  • Overall, the Galaxy Core II is a straightforward device suitable for users with minimal smartphone needs.
  • Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on essential functions.
