Samsung Galaxy Core - Pros & Cons

Color accuracy of the display is high and generally we are pleased with the picture
They also have nice travel and pressing them is effortless
relatively compact and easy to use single-handedly

The colours and sharpness are also acceptable
the device is capable of playing light games fairly smoothly
the software is impressively well optimized
The UI feels smooth and uncluttered
good quality
easily accessible
it feels smoother in day-to-day usage
The display and battery endurance are equally good for its price range
Samsung has improved a lot in this department
color reproduction always looks crisp
rich in contrast and natural

lacking automatic brightness setting is just plain annoying
no light sensor and that means no automatic brightness setting
it is just not bright enough
marches not in the forefront with top of the line specs
The screen is not razor sharp and you'd
the heavy use of plastic needn't be a bad thing
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
display is nowhere near as crisp as it could be

the smaller text is a little harder to read
Low-light photos appear blurry and dim
poor screen resolution and slower internal motor take a toll on
onscreen images wash out and copy is harder to read
Large files took longer to download over Verizon's network
the Galaxy Core Prime got hot over time
no longer unique at this low price point
too taxing for a starter phone
entire electronics industry has been suffering from the global chip shortage for some time now

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.
