  • im waiting since december 2013 for dis phone but now i wll buy Micromax canvas A77 Juice phone on 22nd of may 2014 on my Best Frnds Birthday.

  • No we will be kidding smsung.we wl nt buy this toy

  • i thing this is FAIL a phone dual core 1.2(should be 2.0 or more Ghz dual core) ppi is low (should be min 300 and HD display) 4.2 JB (it is fail. think samsung is kidding we) should be ram and int. memory more this item is not relased yet but used technology is very old Samsung is forgot to publish timely :)

  • Mahesh I don't find any difference among 4 core phones from Samsung!!!! I don't like these phones!!! At least we want quad core processor and 1 gb ram with 1280*720 resolution!!! He never give these specifications with low price!! Actually i wanted to buy grand!!fortunately i bought doodle 2 very great phone and it does not hang like these phones!!!!

  • this is waste and un usefull modal because till today may 8 not at released mostly I hope this is vidraw modal

  • i want buy this mobile. when it was release. i m waiting...

  • no

  • Is this specific model available in Samsung shops in Nigeria yet?

  • He was talking about the phone itself, not the cpu. lol

  • It has been available for a while now in some asian and european countries.

  • announced in december'13 but not available in April'14.is it a withdrawn model ?

  • Moto G is d best option, go for it

  • get starmobile octa

  • I want buy mobile can anybody suggest which mobile is best in range of 13k to 15k

  • What's a rugged core anyway?

  • NOT rugged.

  • is it really that the core is rugged...???????

  • it didn't mention about how long the battery life is gonna last... :(

  • You don't know how to use a windows mobile or you don't have enough money to buy a Lumia device. First use one then write a review.

  • It may look similar but its not a rugged phone.

  • I would like to buy this phone if it is the same as galaxy s44 advance. Meaning it can take medium hight drops and so on, because I can be bit careless with my phone. So is this one of those rugged phones? It looks like one but they don't mention it in the specs

  • gud 1

  • It has a dual-core krait cpu, an adreno 305 gpu and it only has a screen resolution of 800x480. So yes, it can play those games.

  • The GPU is not mentioned.Can anyone tell me pls? Can I play Nova3, Modern combat4, Asphalt8 and other hd games in this?

  • android is better then windows...........

  • i am saying that androde is far better than windows phone windows phone is waste and use less

  • Build quality Sony better than Samsung.Battery life both suck.

  • yes... i agreed. windows phone has a lot of issue. i used 720 and i spend a big amount of money but as an android user i will give 10/10 marks to android, windows phone sucks.

  • i think Samsung is better than sony! Samsung is cheaper and has good quality!

  • I Want to buy a new phone first i saw sony M dous my friend had brought sony E dous one month later the phone was stucking some times and battery life is very bad can any one suggest me wich mobile is best

  • What's new in this?? Dual core is not people are searching for.Quadcore is required.Ram 1.5 GB.

  • After a long waiting for a new mobile from samsung .Brought Sony xperia M for my brother, everything good except camera and Screen brightness

  • The manufacturer not using HTML5 browser,still using VGA front camera,otherwise the product would be nice.

  • The L and the M are pretty much the same as the Core Advance. Very similar display resolutions (L and M 854x480 - Core Advance 800x480), they all have dual-core Krait, and Adreno 305 for GPU. It's up to the consumer which they prefer. Saying one is better than the other is pretty much relative in this case.

  • Haha they went back to physical buttons and I hope this phone gets a physical keyboard add-on like the S3 & S4 did. Great with 4" & a Keyboard, but designed like Motorola Droid 3.

  • Xperia L,M are far better than galaxy core and core advance

  • They should've made it at least 720p, the resolution is WAY too low for anybody making the pixels very obvious. At least make it 720 by 1280. I guess this resolution would cost less?

  • When will Samsung Galaxy Core advance will avilable in market & what is the expected price

  • i think samsung should change the design of their mobile phone.....

  • right gys

  • Samsung want to make more design but copyright issues count....

  • what abt nokia, sony they have also same design..Problem is galaxy design is boring it needs upgrade

  • It's 2014 and all Samsungs look almost exactly the same, though to be fair one cannot question the quality, but with the same looks what's the use of owning a Samsung and looking exactly like almost everyone else's?

  • Its a Krait200 CPU, and GPU is Adreno305. Check out this link.. Go to this link type in search button "8230".

  • Nokia was bought by Microsoft, Mokia+WindowsMobile it is

  • there is no company rather than samsung which is successful in the sales of google's android os devices..good mobile..waiting for nokia to release android..

  • This is very nice mobile goods specification.

  • I like just my drem

  • this very gud phone realy

  • yes

  • in India it is around 12500rs

  • can I buy this phone??

  • is it a good buy?

  • right you are

  • Tired design...

  • Again, you fail to consider the price. It's a low end device. Want High PPI? Get the Note 3 or S4. It's that simple.

  • Waste phone. There is also available a phone available on these specification. Grand Quattro is better than this phone. only 5mp camera is also available in this model. this is a major defect. modeling is not better.

  • again despointed with older design and outdated features 4.7 inch screen and 199 ppi very bad samsung

  • No. Not all cpu cores are the same. The Quattro may have a quad-core cpu but those are only cortex a5. The Core Advance has a dual-core Krait cpu. The Krait is equivalent to a cortex a15 which makes the Core Advance better. Again, for the millionth time, it's the quality of the cores, not the quantity. You need to read more...

  • Grand Quattro is bettr then core advance.. Quattro is Quard core and Core Advance Dual core...

  • just compare this phone with moto g!!

  • This is a very nice an top model phone

  • If you don't mind the low pixel density and don't do a lot of picture taking, this phone will serve you well.

  • please advice me i want bye this phone .is it good peace........

  • Depends on how long till you get bored with the phone. If you're talking about durability, this phone will last for 2-3 years easily, which by that time, you may have already upgraded to a new one. Studies show that people get bored with their phone in just 4 months.

  • Is it a Good phone for long term use?????? pls suggest

  • good phone,.,.,.,.,.,.

  • For around 15 k in India, this would be a decent set to own, If the ruors are true about the GPU being Adreno 305. They could've gone with 4.5 inch screen for better ppi.

  • ugly lvl:samsung

  • this to small samsung galaxy j

  • Well, this phone is targeted for the visually impaired, therefore, the physical buttons, and a large (though low resolution)display.

  • The specs are improved but why samsung but no idea why samsung put physical home buttons in it!!! better no physical buttons so that no problem of damaging it soon. silly samsung!

  • is Galaxy Core Advance a dual sim phone & wht typ of hedset i ll get with in d box ? price???

  • You don't have any idea what chipset means, do you? Lol.

  • It's more advanced because it has a bigger screen, and a better chipset. Those 2 cores are Krait cores. Krait cores are equivalent to cortex a15 cores. It's not the quantity of the cores, it's the quality.

  • You have no idea what chipset means, do you? Lol! It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8230 fo its chipset.

  • What kind of core advance is this? Huge screen low ppi! No chipset & gpu only os & hsdpa speed has changed... core is much more better than this shit core advance... the processor should be quadcore and camera should be 8mp... but core advance haa haa! The mane should be shit advance

  • What kind of core advance is this? Huge screen low ppi! No chipset & gpu only os & hsdpa speed has changed... core is much more better than this shit core advance... the processor should be quadcore and camera should be 8mp... but core advance haa haa! The mane should be shit advance

  • some thing special with this phone.3 keys in right side and projected home, back and function keys

  • Hahahaha!! this is a joke... ppl..just try to compare the Specs of -Samsung core,samsung plus and this Samsung advance this one has given a name of Advance..hahaha...Cant stop laughing..

  • what a crap...Lol

  • care to tell the model of that micromax?

  • I think the price of this mobile will be arround 255U$D. I think it should be a good mobile!!!!!

  • so another guy came out here to pollute the earth with this plastic model samsung needs to learn from nokia, how to manufacture phones with orderly release of phones with low to high specs and some changes in designs of phones

  • Dude, you have to consider other's budget.

  • Loooking at the specs of this device, the name is a perfect misnomer. I think it would be more appropriate to name something like "Samsung Galaxy Core Lite".

  • Weight: over (140)g. IS too much...specs/specification!!.Weight must be really under 140g. !!.

  • When galaxy s5 released???

  • when you want to buy a sumsung dvice you should get the top one like note 3 or s4 ohters are crab

  • i love samsung but their is a step backward in most of the phones that have been released after the samsung galaxy s4

  • Nice phone,i must buy this

  • well i have to wait..need this phone as secondary phone, nice new style

  • hate to buy his phone...all samsung phones look the same

  • What??,not a touch screen button,really an unsatisfied specs either the RAM or the CORE

  • Another duck on the line

  • waste mobiles from samsung. the get heated more than a cooking pan and very poor body and same old design with old specs. go for sony or htc instead. And very bad gaming experience on these samsung mobiles.

  • samsung would request you to loungh new series and with latest model of handsets

  • Dual-core is old now. Samsung should focus on quad-core and octa-core only. Front camera is VGA. Atleast 1 megapixel is required.

  • Dual-core is old now. Samsung should focus on quad-core and octa-core only. Front camera is VGA. Atleast 1 megapixel is required.
