Samsung has quietly introduced the Galaxy Core Plus smartphone, the
successor to the
Galaxy Core in Taiwan. The South
Korean manufacturer listed the new Galaxy Core Plus on
Samsung's Taiwan
site.
The Samsung Galaxy Core Plus has been priced at 7,990 Taiwan
Dollars, which translates roughly to Rs. 17,050 for the off-contract
model. There is no official word from Samsung about the availability of
Galaxy Core Plus for other markets.
Surprisingly, the Galaxy Core
Plus comes with some disappointing specifications when compared to its
predecessor, which is a change from the upgraded specification paradigm
that's almost set for handsets by OEMs.
The Samsung Galaxy Core
Plus runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with Samsung's TouchWiz UI on top, when
compared to Android 4.1 on Galaxy Core. Much like its predecessor, the
Galaxy Core Plus is a dual-SIM device with support for GSM+GSM. It
features a 4.3-inch TFT display with 480x800 pixels resolution. Powered
by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor (unspecified chipset), the Galaxy Core
Plus has 768MB of RAM (compared to 1GB on the Galaxy Core). It sports a
5-megapixel rear autofocus camera with a LED flash and a VGA front
facing camera.
The Galaxy Core Plus offers 4GB of inbuilt storage
(compared to the 8GB on the Galaxy Core) which can be expanded up to
64GB with a microSD card. It also offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and GPS
connectivity options. The phone comes with an 1800mAh battery.
Samsung,
on the Galaxy Core Plus, also ships few smart features borrowed from
some Galaxy high-end siblings including Smart Stay, Smart Alert, Motion
UI, and Samsung's own voice assistant, S Voice. The Galaxy Core Plus
comes with 129.7x65.9x9.4mm dimensions and weighs 134 grams.
Earlier,
Samsung launched the Galaxy Core mid-range Android smartphone for the Indian market in
May this year.
