Samsung Galaxy Core LTE Review

(SM-G386F) Score: 61.4 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Core LTE is a mid-level phone launched some years ago, in 2014, packing a 4.5" screen, a good performance 1200 megahertz Dual-Core CPU, and 2 cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.3 megapixels front-facing camera. Let's take a deeper sight of what this device can give us.

Samsung made this phone in 2 different colors: black and white. The Samsung Galaxy Core LTE is just 5.23 inches long, but it is still able to fit a a 4.5" display. This device is just 0.39 inches thick, making its way into the thinnest cellphones podium.

Samsung designed this phone with a interesting 4.5" display, and a resolution of 960 x 540 , providing this device with a detailed graphic quality. This display uses Super PLS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

Samsung decided to design the Core LTE using a fast Dual-Core processor running at 1.2 GHz and 1 GB RAM. This cellphone counts with an interesting 8 GB internal storage and a slot for an external memory card, enough to store hundreds of apps without any problem.

This phone has two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 0.3 megapixels front facing camera. It is capable of shooting videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. In addition, this phone's camera also has some good characteristics: flash, face detection shooting, auto-focus, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.

This cellphone has wi-fi connectivity (although it can't be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE high speed connectivity and 3G fast connection type, over HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a Micro SIM card to use GSM services.

This phone packs amassive 2100 mAh battery that provides this device an average battery life.

This phone also includes many great features as NFC, Bluetooth (4.0), GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is not a very good choice considering it costs 345 dollars, and many similar phones are being sold much cheaper than that. No matter whether you are looking for a gaming phone, want this cellphone to take plenty of pictures, are looking for a phone to mostly use social networks or want a work phone, you will definitely love this cellphone.
