SAMSUNG Galaxy Core Prime - Smartphone 8GB, 1GB RAM, Single Sim, Charcoal Grey

Product Information

This SAR rating shows the highest level of exposure to electromagnetic radiation measured when the device is placed at the hip level. The top SAR value for mobile devices used in Europe is limited to 2 W/kg per 10 g of tissue. This standard follows the ICNIRP Guidelines 1998 as well as the IEC standards and is determined by the CENELEC. The Core Prime was announced mere months after Galaxy Core II (not to mention Core LTE, Core Lite LTE and several others), but brings definite improvements over all members of the family, even if most specs are shared among the Cores.

Display The display of a mobile device is characterized by its technology, resolution, pixel density, diagonal length, color depth, etc. Type/technology It’s always buying a budget smartphone when another is just around the corner. Even till this day, the 3rd Gen Moto and the newer Moto G4 provide touch competition to all budget smartphone manufacturers – as they both provide excellent value for money. Similar to the CPU, the GPU consists of processing units called cores. They handle the computation of graphics in various applications.

It's surprisingly quick for a budget phone, but its poor screen and mediocre camera can't keep up with the competition

Diagnostic speeds on the Ookla Speedtest.net app were pretty good in my testing area. Jessica Dolcourt/CNET Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) The SAR rating shows the amount of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the human body when using a mobile device, expressed in W/kg. Head SAR (EU)

The L2 (level 2) cache memory is slower than L1, but has a larger capacity, instead, which allows it to cache more data. Just like L1, it is much faster than the system memory (RAM). If the CPU does not find the data needed in L2, it proceeds to look for them in the L3 cache memory (if there is such) or in the RAM. This is a shame, as it’s actually one of the faster budget handsets I’ve tested recently. Instead of using one of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips for the Core Prime, Samsung’s decided to use a quad-core 1.2GHz Marvell PXA 1908 chip instead, which actually beat the 3rd Gen Moto G in our Geekbench 3 tests. Estimated volume of the device, calculated from the dimensions provided by the manufacturer. Applies for devices in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. However, the Core Prime is rather less capable when it comes to playing games. It can still play simple games like Threes! without much trouble, but even more action orientated 2D games like Bushido Bear were a bit juddery in practice, so you’ll probably want to look elsewhere if you want a phone for playing games on. More complex games like Hearthstone are also completely out of the question, as the Core Prime managed just 44 frames (or 0.7fps) in the offscreen Manhattan 3.0 test in GFX Bench GL. This is admittedly a very demanding test, but even the Moto G managed 105 frames (1.8fps), which leaves the Core Prime feeling distinctly underpowered by comparison.Design Information about the dimensions and weight of the device, shown in different measurement units. Body materials, available colors, certifications. Width RAM (Random-Access Memory) is used by the operating system and all installed applications. Data in the RAM is lost after the device is turned off or restarted. a b "Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE SM-G360F Specs and features - Phone More". 23 December 2014 . Retrieved 2016-09-29. Information about additional software and hardware features of the rear camera which improve its overall performance.

Information about the width, i.e. the horizontal side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation. Information about the number of pixels per centimeter (ppcm) or per inch (ppi) of the display. The higher the pixel density, the more detailed and clearer is the information displayed on the screen. Also known as Samsung Galaxy Win 2 Duos TV G360BT for Brazil; Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Duos with dual-SIM card slots Network The color depth of the display is also known as bit depth. It shows the number of bits used for the color components of one pixel. Information about the maximum number of colors the screen can display. The screen itself is also one of the worst I’ve tested in recent months, as it’s only able to display 58.9% of the sRGB colour gamut. That’s even less than the rather mediocre Galaxy J1, and it leaves a lot to be desired when looking at photos and images. Admittedly, a contrast ratio of 1,021:1 provides a decent amount of detail, but its viewing angles are pretty poor, as darker areas of the screen will immediately start turning a different colour as soon as you rotate the handset to either side.The point is, 4.5-inches might be considered below average, but it's still big enough for the majority of tasks, which haven't essentially changed since the first smartphones rolled into shops eight years ago. A Samsung Galaxy Core Prime has exploded while a male child was holding it. He was rushed to the hospital after calling 911, and after recovering, suffered from a phobia of mobile phones. [14] This generated some confusion because it was assumed it was a Samsung Galaxy Note 7, infamous for exploding. [15] See also [ edit ]
