Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy Core Lite LTE
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy Core Lite LTE features a compact design with dimensions of 133.1 x 70 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 149 grams, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.7-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 199 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
- Performance is powered by a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is suitable for everyday applications but may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 2000 mAh battery provides basic longevity but does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated, lacking many modern features found in newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port and a headphone jack, catering to traditional accessory needs.
- The absence of water resistance and stereo speakers limits its appeal for some users.
- Overall, the Galaxy Core Lite LTE is a basic smartphone with essential features for casual use.
