    The Bottom Line One of Verizon and MetroPCS' least-expensive phones, the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime makes a decent entry-level choice, but it still isn't as good as the competition

    Is Samsung core prime a good phone?
    francoise

    It's reasonably quick and has a decent battery life, but its display, gaming performance, lack of storage and, to some extent, its camera, all fall short of both the 3rd Gen Moto G and even the 2nd Gen Moto E.

    Where does the sim card go in a samsung galaxy core prime?

    almost 2 years ago
    Locate the notch in the lower right corner of the battery then gently pull the battery out. With the gold contacts facing down, insert the card notched end first into the SIM card slot. Slide the SIM card out of the slot.
