Android version and market relevance

In the short description of the new smartphone Samsung Galaxy A2 Core we point out the key characteristics for each smartphone. Firstly, it is an actuality in the market. This model was announced by the company Samsung in April 2019. Secondly, this concept of adequacy in the market at the moment. We determine this according to the software version on which the smartphone is running and updating. So, “out of the box” Samsung Galaxy A2 Core works on Android 8 Oreo and has not received until now no updates to the more recent version of the software. In this case, we advise you to avoid buying models that do not receive software updates. Look at the others smartphones of 2019.

Of the features that not all Android smartphones have today, we separately single out support for two SIM cards and the ability to work in 5G networks with a maximum speed of 100 Mb/s. So Samsung Galaxy A2 Core is a dual-smartphone, so you can combine in one device just two phones. This, of course, is convenient and makes you look more closely at this model. The manufacturer could add support for fifth-generation networks to this smartphone, but did not. Perhaps not to raise the price, or for other reasons. If for you the presence of support for 5G networks in a new smartphone is very important, then we recommend that you go to this page in the catalog — all 5G smartphones on Android.

Screen, body and battery

Weak Samsung Galaxy A2 Core battery received a volume of 2 600 mAh. In this case, the smartphone has big touchscreen PLS TFT with diagonal 5″.

The thickness of the body is 9.1 mm. This is a very thick case, we advise you to look in our catalog smartphones with thin cases, which fit comfortably in your hand.

Main camera and selfie camera

The smartphone Samsung Galaxy A2 Core has two cameras: main camera (5 MP with a regular lens) and front-camera (5 MP with a regular lens). If you look at the quality of the photo of the main camera, then you hardly will be satisfied with the quality of these photos, because the camera is rather weak. We advise buying (well, or at least look) camera phones. This is smartphones with very good cameras on the market.

In this smartphone, the front camera is located as usual at the top of the screen, like in 99.9% of other models. We have collected smartphones with pop-up front camera in the catalog that may seem much more interesting to you. In these models, there are practically no frames around the screen, because the front camera is located inside the case and does not take up space above the screen. The selfie camera only pops up when you activate the front camera mode. Take a photo or video, exit the Camera application. And after that, the socket with the front camera drives into the body. Real engineering magic!

Processor and Internal Memory

And write a few words about the performance of Samsung Galaxy A2 Core. Of course, the very first thing that will be discussed is the processor. The model received a 8-core processor Exynos 7870 Octa.

The second performance characteristic in our opinion is the amount of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy A2 Core has 1 installed on the RAM.

The built-in flash memory of this model has the volume 8 GB, but you can choose the version with 16 GB. The manufacturer did not forget about the support of memory cards in the smartphone. Here you can install a card microSDXC.

Price for Samsung Galaxy A2 Core: buy or not to buy?

So we told about cheap powerful smartphone Samsung Galaxy A2 Core with a large screen, conventional main camera and weak frontal, and still there is a weak battery.

All these characteristics in 2019 may be good, but the time goes by and the smartphone will somehow become obsolete in half a year of the beginning of sales. And by the way, to sell it start in April 2019 at a price of $115. This is the official price from the manufacturer without taxes and fees, so it can differ in each country, and not only for different sellers.

Before you buy Samsung Galaxy A2 Core, be sure to check out all the photos and video reviews on it, or better still go to the offline store (electronics supermarket) and twist it in your hand. And already then, based on the emotions received from the smartphone, make the decision to buy.

And if Samsung Galaxy A2 Core is not already sold, when you are reading this text, then do not be upset. We advise you to always visit the page DROID smartphones, where we collect only the most current models on new versions of Android OS.
