Samsung 8262 What model. SAMSUNG GALAXY CORE - Specifications. Bluetooth is a standard of secure data transfer between various devices of different types for short distances.

Samsung Galaxy Core 2 DUOS SM-G355H has become another model in the "galactic" line of the South Korean electronics giant. The smartphone focused on the budget price niche went on sale in June 2014. Now you can buy a device about $ 100. What will receive the buyer for this money - will help you know our review.

Externally, the device is practically no different from its neighbors in the series. It is made in a rectangular case with rounded edges, a metal edging and the "home" button oval form. Rear, near the camera window, the flash LED and speaker are symmetrically set up. SAMSUNG GALAXY CORE 2 DUOS is presented in black and white colors.

SAMSUNG GALAXY CORE 2 DUOS SM-G355H

SAMSUNG GALAXY CORE 2 DUOS Specifications are quite common for an inexpensive device. But, at the same time, the device processor has four cores. In general, the stuffing of a smartphone is quite budgetary.

CPU

The use of processors from Spreadtrum for Samsung is not something new. At the chips of this company, South Korean devices have come out before. This time the manufacturer used the SOC SC7735 platform, which is the closest analogue of Taiwanese MT6582. Technical differences between these processors are minimal: both have 4 kernels of the same architecture and MALI 400 graphics processing unit. The difference lies in the CPU frequency (1200 MHz at our hero, against 1300 at MT6582), and the number of nuclei of the GP (2 at MTK against 4 Spreadtrum).

Thus, Samsung Galaxy Core 2 DUOS should be a little higher competitors in performance (especially in games). But in fact, the difference is not felt on the eye or in benchmarks. And the same Antutu shows even a smaller score (15 thousand versus 17-18 at MTK). There is enough for the games of this, but you should not expect the maximum graphs settings.

Memory

Than SAMSUNG smartphones of the budget and mid-level can stand out - this is the volume of RAM. 768 MB of RAM from other manufacturers practically do not meet. The solidification of this is one: Samsung, in addition to smartphones and household appliances, is also engaged in the manufacture of memory chips. Since today it is 256 MB today (in order to gain 1 GB of RAM - you need to reconstruct as much as 4 chips on the board, and it is more complicated and more expensive than 1 to 1024 or 2 to 512 MB), the company equips its products inexpensive devices of their own production. And the user is glad (after all, it receives not 512, but 768 MB), and the "non-liquid" product is sold.

As for the practical meaning of "all these tsiferok" - here we can say that 768 megabytes are enough for the average user, but there is little for gamers and those who are used to the smartphone "squeeze all juices". Against the background of the remaining cheap devices from 512 MB looks attractive, but for 2015 is already not enough.

About half of the 4 GB of a flash drive is provided for storing custom content in the smartphone. Fortunately, the lack of free space compensates for the presence of a microSD slot. Samsung Galaxy Core 2 DUOS supports flash drives, up to 64 GB.

Battery

Battery for 2000 mAh for a "state employee" is normal. Moreover, Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos screen is not like that big. The charge in the battery is enough for 2 days in standby mode, about 8 - 10 hours of video playback and / or web surfing and approximately 5 hours of three-dimensional games. For a 100 dollars smartphone, it is not bad.

Camera

SAMSUNG GALAXY CORE 2 does not pull on the title of camerafon. 5 MP today is good for "frontal", but not the main module. At the same time, the pictures are not so bad. On the winter day, even noise is almost no, however, as well as on the right "seized" summer landscape.

Example snapshot to the main chamber Samsung Galaxy Core 2

The room is a little worse, but not to say that frankly bad. Honestly, we came across the "Chinese", which at 8 MP demonstrated disgust quality. Therefore, we can safely assure: for 5 megapixel SAMSUNG Galaxy Core 2 Duos camera is good. Moreover, the flash is available, and without autofocus it did not cost.

The front module has a resolution of 640x480 and is designed purely for video link. Trying to make selfie good quality on it not worth it - it is better to turn the smartphone with a rear side, and "blindly" to extride the heels of frames, every time a little tilting the device aside to catch the face in the focus center.

Display

SAMSUNG GALAXY CORE 2 DUOS Budget screen, and has a resolution of 800x480 points with a diagonal of 4.5. "This is not typical of" Samsung "AMOLED, but a classic TFT TN, so ideal viewing angles, like low power consumption with a certain color theme, do not wait .

Communication

Under the back of the Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos cover, two slots for SIM cards are hidden. They have microsim format, which is beneficial in terms of saving space. Because of this, the owners of the chips of the old format will have to go to the operator for replacing or cut them on their own.

Networks supported GSM and UMTS / HSDPA standards. In addition, you can maintain a high-speed connection from the first "SIM card": the second is intended for voice communication. These are the features of budget radio modulus.

Multimedia

Sound at Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos is truly "budget." He is loud, does not scroll, but the frequency range has gone up. In the headphones listen to music much more pleasant - there is at least a hint of bass. For example, it is worth noting that not only Samsung is sinful. So among our competitors Galaxy Core 2 Duos solid six (out of ten) deserves. And considering that the smartphone also has a radio (unlike some of the flagships), the multimedia side in the minuses do not write in any way.

Operating system

As an operating system on Samsung Galaxy Core 2 DUOS installed Android 4.4. Naturally, without the TOUCHWIZ interface it did not cost. The smartphone uses a trimmed version of the shell, which is less functional than the flagships, but against the background of a small reserve of RAM is not minus, but plus.

A year ago, Dualsim-smartphones were a quarter of smartphones represented in Ukraine (according to QP.UA). By the middle of 2013, their number was almost approaching half, and on the equipment the highest models with the support of two SIM cards already two steps from the top segment. However, the greatest number of offers can still be found in the middle-low price segment. It was actively tried predominantly brands of the second echelon, which were filled with interesting, but rapidly replacing each other models segment 1500-2500 UAH, and from A-brands only Sony does not show much interest in supporting two SIM cards. LG offers its smartphones of the line L already in two versions different from each other not only by the number of slots under SIM, but also the form of the case. HTC still at the end of last year released Desire SV, interesting, but for now the only dualsim model that has time to chefs to the price category you are interested in. Samsung in the above-mentioned segment in 2013 presented as many as three models (and all dasons), which more than frankly hints at demand. This is a Galaxy Ace 3 with a 4-inch screen diagonal (review) and Galaxy Win (Overview) with a 4.7-inch display and Galaxy Core. Something among them in size (4.3-inch display), price and equipment. It is about him that will be discussed in this review.

Specifications

Like Samsung Galaxy Win, Galaxy Core from the box running Android 4.1.2. The model was presented a little earlier than the youngest Galaxy Ace 3, apparently, because it received an earlier version of the operating system. Let's hope that the update is not far off, although there is no big burning in Android 4.1, the difference between both versions is small, but the updated Touchwiz for Jelly Bean 4.2.2 turned out to be even more convenient, and some of its functions are not enough when you return to the old version. For user data in the smartphone, 8 GB of integrated memory is installed, which is not good for an inexpensive device. The heart of the smartphone is the dual-core 1,2-gigahertic processor Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon S4, and the graphics are Adreno 203. For its price category and for a 4.3-inch display with a resolution of 480x800 points, such a solution looks normally and predictable. By the way, a smartphone is identical to the nearest characteristics, the smartphone is identical to the closest competitors of LG Optimus L7 II Dual and HTC Desire SV (though the latter is just more expensive than both).

Appearance

Surprises from Samsung designers can not be expected. In the smartphone, the traits of the manufacturer are clearly guessed. The case is not compact for its sizes, but in hand is normal. Still, today, the 4.3-inch display is no longer called big. In addition, Samsung, among the first manufacturers of smartphones with a large diagonal, realized that the location of the screen lock button on the right would be more convenient than at the top.

The only surprise for me was the color of the plastic case. We visited the core on our test. It looks fresh, interesting and much more fun than in the faceless Chinese Fly or glossy and at the expense of this promotional smartphones Prestigio - that is, smartphones, which are presented in the same price category with Core and also have the support of two SIM cards. It seems to me that this is the first case in my story on gG.When making the Samsung smartphone housing, I write in the pluses of the model. It grips only the tendency and body, and the screen of the smartphone collect fingerprints. Well, on the nobility of materials, the case is still inferior to HTC, but this eternal theme of plastic VS is everything else to raise once again already bored already. In the gallery below - photographs of the appearance of Galaxy Core. In several pictures next to him Samsung Galaxy Win, the owner of a 4.7-inch display.

It is noteworthy that the use of Micro SIM cards has already rolled up to the middle segment of Samsung smartphones. In Galaxy Core, both slots are calculated on such a format.

Screen

I have a dual ratio to the Galaxy Core screen. According to today's standards, it is considered grainy - but after all, the flagship apparatus Samsung 2012, Galaxy S II, possessed exactly the same screen: 4.3-inch, with a resolution of 480x800 points, 217 ppi. Is that the other technology was - for Samsung flagship smartphones uses Super AMOLED displays, for simple models - TFT. This display normally looks even on the background of IPS-displays in Chinese smartphones in the same price category, if you do not take into account the fact that they usually have more resolutions. On the bright sun, the Galaxy Core display feels not bad, remains readable. For clarity, I bring a photosvideo. The picture below is Samsung Galaxy Gore, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 Mini in a ribbon summer day under the straight rays of the sun.

Although, by the way, the measurements of our colorimeter showed not the best result: 330.37 cd / m 2 is a confident "mid-quality".

Device name	White field brightness, cD / m 2	Black field brightness, cD / m 2	Contrast
SAMSUNG GALAXY CORE I8262	330,37	0,51	654:1
Huawei Ascend Mate.	454,76	0.58	791:1
Huawei Ascend D2.	310,52	0.30	1037:1
Sony Xperia ZL.	394	0.66	596:1
SAMSUNG GALAXY S4.	320	0	∞
Sony Xperia T.	421	0.28	1503:1
iPhone 4S.	434	0.53	818:1

For other indicators (color temperatures, color coverage, color accuracy) - the same parsley. The smartphone does not shine, but demonstrates a completely typical and decent result for the screen of an inexpensive smartphone. The "Chinese" happens better and worse, once at times not to have. In the senior Samsung models with the TFT screen there were indicators and better. To the vast regret, LG Optimus L7 II Dual and HTC Desire SV visited our editors before the colorimeter appeared in it, so I cannot compare with them.

Performance

The performance of the smartphone can be said that it is approximately one level with competitors. And with LG Optimus L7 II Dual, and HTC Desire SV difference is small (it is in favor of Samsung) due to a slightly smaller volume of RAM (768 MB per brother) and reduced to 1 GHz clock processor frequency. And with the "Chinese" with the price tag of about 2000 UAH, in the heart of which the dual-core processor MediaTek MT6577 begins, and the amount of RAM, depending on the display resolution, is 512 MB or 1 GB. FLY has recently had five such models, and the rest of the competitors (Prestigio and Highscreen, the Russian brand) are not lagging behind. Performance test results can be seen below.

If we talk about living impressions, then for a person who has this first smartphone or who had other relatively inexpensive devices, released years or two ago, the performance of the Galaxy Core will not seem insufficient. Of course, after using flagship devices, a slower operation of the Galaxy Core interface is striking. But by and large, everything is quite at the price level level, and is already a big step forward compared to the models of last year. HD video on the smartphone is played, not the most demanding toys go.

Competitors and neighbors on the line

Now to the question of why in the review I constantly compare Galaxy Core, a smartphone A-brand, with the "Chinese". The fact is that it enters most of the successful models of at least Fly, but as a maximum also Prestigio, in the same price category. Where potential buyers are still sensitive to the price, sometimes more sensitive than to the brand.

Therefore, the competitors of this model are accustomed to two camps - these are two representatives of A-brand - LG Optimus L7 II Dual and HTC Desire SV. Although HTC is at a price approaching the Galaxy Win - older model. In essence, it is close to Core and L7 II Dual. The same diagonal of the display, approximately the same "filling", but a weaker battery and "doping" Android 4.0. But many potential buyers will like the more noble body of the device, and some will prefer the SENSE TouchWiz interface. In addition, an 8-megapixel camera is installed in the LG and HTC smartphones, while Samsung has equipped its 5 megapixel model, slow enough. And the battery capacity of 2460 mAh in a pair with a reduced processor frequency in the smartphone LG Optimus L7 II DUAL is able to give extra few hours of autonomous work - this figure, in my opinion, for the Android-smartphone owner must be more likely to resolve the camera on a non-top smartphone, which when Any defold will be average.

The second camp is smartphones of the manufacturers of the second echelon. Here, for the same money, lovers of large diagonals can gain a real "shovel" Fly IQ451 Vista with a 5-inch HD display and a quad-core processor that demonstrates another level of performance. Or 4.5-inch more pleasant, in my opinion, Fly IQ446 Magic, also equipped with a quad-core processor. In addition to them, of course, there are other models, but they are already less interesting and, in fact, bypass Galaxy Core, primarily diagonal and the resolution of the display. But in this case, I would not take the camera in this case, rarely what "Chinese" will be ready to boast a good result on this field (the exception is Huawei Honor 2 and Highscreen Explosion, perhaps). But it should be borne in mind that in the real life of the audience of inexpensive Chinese smartphones and smartphones made into light a-brands, it is not always intersect - the question of trusting the brand, habits and status of the manufacturer for some is the sharper megapixel, gigarentsev and inches.

The closest relative of the Galaxy Core - Galaxy Ace 3 is different from him in more than fresh version of the OS from the box (Android 4.2), but a very small display is 4 inches. For those who are afraid of medium and large diagonals, but looking for a fresh and inexpensive dualsim smartphone he will be an excellent choice. Galaxy Win is a branded alternative to the "Chinese", on which the worse is above all with a low display resolution - the same 480x800 points, but already on a 4.7-inch diagonal. In general, quite an adequate smartphone for its price (about 2500 UAH).

SumSung Galaxy Core Video Review

In the dry residue

It turns out that in the price category 2000-2500 UAH, the manufacturers of smartphones of the first echelon demonstrated very close to the technical equipment of the Dualsim model. The difference between them is so symbolic (LG has the best autonomy, Samsung has performance and memory, with HTC - case materials, but a weak battery and a high price, in Samsung installed a 5 megapixel chamber instead of 8 MP), which one can safely choose a specific model Guided by personal sympathy to some manufacturer, the usual interface or price issue. And depending on these samsung galaxy core preferences, equal to the degree of probability can become desired or vice versa, an unsuccessful choice.

3 Reasons to buy Samsung Galaxy Core i8262:

• good performance for the A-brand smartphone in this price category;
• support for two SIM cards;
• unexpected and interesting color of the case;

2 reasons not to buy samsung galaxy core i8262:

• weak chamber;
• a large number of more "cheap" devices from b brands in this segment.

A year later, they began to get shocks. The battery began to keep 2/3 days (the Internet is included constantly), it happens to reboot itself, sometimes does not respond to anything helps only remove the battery. In a couple of days, I did not hear the interlocutors, it also took place. In the cold, in general, he sat down for half an hour.

The camera is terrible, the more the frontal, the battery is not enough for a day, even if the phone does not use at all, the Internet will be turned off and the brightness of 0, and if you work in it, then an hour 4 is maximum. Often you have to reboot from glitches and can get 50% of the battery and will not turn on without charging. Empty fast paint
