Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Review

(SM-G3606, SM-G3609) Score: 62.3 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Core Prime is a very solid cellphone, with a powerful 1.2 GHz Quad-Core processing unit, a medium 4.5-inches screen, and 2 cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

Although the Core Prime just has 5.17 inches long and 2.69" wide, it manages to contain a 4.5" screen. The Core Prime is just 0.35" thick, making it one of the thinnest devices out there. This cellphone is much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone like this.

Samsung designed this device with a interesting 4.5-inches screen, and a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes everything look very good. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

Samsung equipped the Core Prime with a great performance Quad-Core processor clocking at 1.2 gigahertz with 1 GB RAM memory. The Core Prime has an 8 GB quite large internal memory and an external SD slot, allowing you to install a couple hundred applications and games without any trouble.

This phone has two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 2 MP front facing camera. This cellphone can also film HD 1280x720 videos at 30 fps. This cellphone also includes a few useful characteristics: flash, auto-focus, geo tagging and face detection shooting.

This phone features a 2000 mAh medium capacity replaceable battery that can keep it running for some hours, but you may need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage.

The Core Prime counts with WiFi capability (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high speed internet connection and 3G fast connectivity, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Samsung Galaxy Core Prime works with a Micro SIM card for GSM connection.

This phone also includes some cool features as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This cellphone might be a little expensive considering it is offerred for 139 dollars, while some similar cellphones are being sold cheaper than that. No matter if you want a cellphone for work, are looking for a social phone, are looking for a device for gaming or you love taking pictures, you will probably love this phone.
