Samsung Galaxy Core II upgrades the original Galaxy Core with the latest Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), more powerful processor, and a larger display. The new member of the Galaxy Core series features Dual-SIM, a reasonable price-range and comes with a 4.5-inch screen.
Dual-SIM or Single SIM
Apparently there are two variants of the Samsung Galaxy Core 2, a single and a dual-SIM version. It has a 4.5-inch display with 480 x 800 pixels resolution. The autofocus equipped 5 megapixels rear camera and a front 0.3 megapixels VGA camera does the job for your phone pictures and video chats.
Samsung Galaxy Core II has a surprisingly fast processor, a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, running an Android 4.4 (KitKat). Another surprise, though not as exciting, is that Samsung opted for a 768MB of RAM, which is less than the 1GB RAM fitted in the first generation Galaxy Core. It has a built-in storage capacity of 4GB having a microSD slot to hold as much as 64GB.
Samsung fitted a 2000mAh battery in the phone which gives a decent 10 hours life-span. Samsung gives you the chance to choose dual-SIM or single-SIM for your new Galaxy Core II, both having WiFi and WiFi hotspot. Samsung Galaxy Core II is an entry level mid range phone which is for a wider range of customers being reasonably priced.
Pricing and availability
Samsung Galaxy Core II is now available in Nigeria at leading online stores in the country. Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Price in Nigeria ranges from N24,500 to N32,000 depending on your location in the country.
