Tech Trends Diary Verdict
The highlight features of the Samsung Galaxy Core 2 are obviously the 5MP Camera, the Quad-Core CPU and the 2000 mAh battery.
Battery life is not so much a priority in a Samsung mid-range Smartphone and it is great that Samsung was a bit generous on the battery capacity of the Galaxy Core 2.
The 5 MP Camera is also a feature that could influence the purchasing decisions of buyers looking for a solid budget device with a great multimedia profile.
The VGA front-facing camera is kind of a deal-breaker as Smartphone vendors have started responding to the demand of more powerful selfie cameras.
