SAMSUNG Galaxy Core Prime - Smartphone 8GB, 1GB RAM, Single Sim, Charcoal Grey

Product Information

The point is, 4.5-inches might be considered below average, but it's still big enough for the majority of tasks, which haven't essentially changed since the first smartphones rolled into shops eight years ago. The poor screen resolution and slower internal motor take a toll on gameplay, especially when you compare a title on a high-end handset. Still, I wouldn't get too worked up about it. Game developers try to optimize graphics so their wares are immersive on any level screen. That certainly was the case for Riptide GP2. The game didn't play as smoothly, cleanly or responsively as it does on faster phones, but that didn't wipe out its fun factor.

However, the Core Prime is rather less capable when it comes to playing games. It can still play simple games like Threes! without much trouble, but even more action orientated 2D games like Bushido Bear were a bit juddery in practice, so you’ll probably want to look elsewhere if you want a phone for playing games on. More complex games like Hearthstone are also completely out of the question, as the Core Prime managed just 44 frames (or 0.7fps) in the offscreen Manhattan 3.0 test in GFX Bench GL. This is admittedly a very demanding test, but even the Moto G managed 105 frames (1.8fps), which leaves the Core Prime feeling distinctly underpowered by comparison. The screen itself is also one of the worst I’ve tested in recent months, as it’s only able to display 58.9% of the sRGB colour gamut. That’s even less than the rather mediocre Galaxy J1, and it leaves a lot to be desired when looking at photos and images. Admittedly, a contrast ratio of 1,021:1 provides a decent amount of detail, but its viewing angles are pretty poor, as darker areas of the screen will immediately start turning a different colour as soon as you rotate the handset to either side. This version of Samsung Galaxy Core is available only in certain European countries. It also shares same model codes as Galaxy Trend 3, Galaxy Star 2 Plus or Galaxy Star Advance (SM-G350L and G350M) Some models have 3MP camera such as SM-G350E.

Jessica Dolcourt/CNET Calibrated at the height of its capacity, the Core Prime's camera captures brightly colored outdoor photos that contrast with its rather bloodless images in low-light situations. Here's the age-old question: do you take indoor photos with flash or without? This SAR rating shows the maximum level of exposure to electromagnetic radiation taken when the device is placed next to the ear. The applicable limit for the US is 1.6 W/kg per 1 g of tissue. In the US the FCC tests and sets the SAR limits for all mobile devices, which are controlled by the CTIA. Information about the height, i.e. the vertical side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation. RAM (Random-Access Memory) is used by the operating system and all installed applications. Data in the RAM is lost after the device is turned off or restarted.

Similar to the CPU, the GPU consists of processing units called cores. They handle the computation of graphics in various applications. Ships with Android OS version 4.4.4 KitKat. Available to update to Lollipop OS 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 operating system with "TouchWiz Home" Home screen UI Information about the width, i.e. the horizontal side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation. Coming off our Galaxy Grand Prime review, we know that a lot of the 64-bit benefits hang on an Android 5.0 Lollipop update. Considering the Core Prime was announced only recently, the prognosis on an update is good, but nothing is guaranteed.

In the single core test, for instance, the Core Prime scored 574, just edging in front of the Moto G’s 532, and its 1,704 result in the multicore test was even further out in front, beating the Moto G’s score of 1,598 by more than 100 points. As a result, Samsung Android 5.1.1 TouchWiz interface zipped along at a pretty decent pace, and I didn’t feel like I was left waiting too long when opening apps and navigating the menu settings.

The SAR head rating shows the highest level of exposure to electromagnetic radiation measured when the device is held next to the ear in a talk position. In Europe, the SAR limit for hand-held mobile devices is set to 2 W/kg per 10 g of tissue. This standard is specified by the CENELEC, complies with the IEC standards and follows the ICNIRP Guidelines 1998. This makes it quite difficult to see what you’re looking at, as even the slightest hand movement can throw it off. Likewise, with a max brightness of 378.59cd/m2, you may struggle to see the screen clearly in bright sunshine unless you’re looking at it in the shade, which only makes it even more of a pain to use day-to-day. Samsung Galaxy Core Prime review: Performance Information about the sensor type of the camera. Some of the most widely used types of image sensors on mobile devices are CMOS, BSI, ISOCELL, etc. Information about the process technology used in manufacturing the chip. The value in nanometers represents half the distance between elements that make up the CPU. CPU is the Central Processing Unit or the processor of a mobile device. Its main function is to interpret and execute instructions contained in software applications.The even cheaper Motorola Moto E comes with a slightly smaller and considerably sharper 4.3-inch 960 x 540 display, so the Galaxy Core Prime's visual failings are hard to overlook. I tested the Galaxy Core Prime in the San Francisco Bay Area on Verizon, which has a pretty strong network in my area (you may not share the same experience).

The ISO rating or number is an indicator of how sensitive a camera's image sensor is to light. Image sensors operate within a specific ISO range. The higher the ISO rating is, the more sensitive to light the sensor is. The color depth of the display is also known as bit depth. It shows the number of bits used for the color components of one pixel. Information about the maximum number of colors the screen can display. a b "Firmware archive - SM-G361F".

Equipped with a lower-powered processor, the Galaxy Core Prime isn't the zippiest phone in the kingdom. The good news is that this 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm chipset is the same one found in virtually every phone of this level, so the Core Prime is right on par with its closest rivals.Information about additional software and hardware features of the rear camera which improve its overall performance.
