Comparing to last year Samsung GALAXY Core (GT-I8262), Samsung GALAXY Core 2 only has small upgrades. CPU upgrades to quad-core but same 1.2 GHz clock speed. Display size is 0.2-inch larger which you will barely notice, as well as 200 mAh battery capacity increased.

However, Samsung decided to slash storage space and memory for GALAXY Core 2. GALAXY Core has 8GB storage and 1GB RAM, but GALAXY Core 2 only has 4GB storage and 0.75GB RAM (what an odd number!).

Samsung GALAXY Core 2 price in Malaysia is RM 599, available in white and black from Samsung retail outlets and authorised dealers.

Thought

I won’t recommend Samsung GALAXY Core 2 based on its specs and price in Malaysia. You can buy cheaper Lenovo A526 (RRP RM469) with similar specs, or pay RM100 more for Lenovo S650 for better specs.

I would recommend Moto G (no 4G LTE) if you don’t mind using 8GB smartphone without memory expansion slot.

Of course, we cannot left out Xiaomi every time we talk about value-for-money smartphones. Xiaomi Redmi 1S is only RM 419 in Malaysia with much better specs, provided you manage to buy it online…
