Short Review

  • The Samsung Galaxy Core LTE features a compact design with dimensions of 132.9 x 66.3 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 137g, making it easy to handle.
  • Its 4.5-inch PLS display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 245 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, which may struggle with demanding applications but handles everyday use adequately.
  • The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the front lacks a dedicated selfie camera.
  • The 2100mAh battery provides moderate longevity, though it does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated but functional for basic operations.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it lacks 5G support.
  • The device is available in white and black, offering a simple aesthetic.
  • Overall, the Galaxy Core LTE is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
  • Its build and performance are aligned with its 2014 release, making it suitable for users with minimal requirements.
