Three months ago, Samsung announced its first Android Go smartphone called the Samsung Galaxy J2 Core. Now, the Korean OEM has announced another Android Go phone named the Samsung Galaxy J4 Core.
Being an update to the first Samsung Android Go phone, it delivers better features than its predecessor. Some of these include its massive 6.0-inch screen, 16GB storage and 3,300mAh battery.
Let’s get down on the act, shall we?
Samsung Galaxy J4 Core Quick Review
Asides being the second Samsung Android Go smartphone which falls in the budget range, this smartphone is also the light version of the Samsung Galaxy J4+. Its big-sized body is as thick as 7.9mm, so, slimness is an added feel to its handling. Its 73.6% screen-to-body ratio fits well into its bezel-less design. The base of the bezel features just a chin while the top bezel sports earpiece, sensors and front-facing camera.
Pictures, videos, documents and other forms of media are relayed on the smartphone’s large 6-inch IPS screen. The crispness of these media is taken care of by a resolution of 720 x 1480 pixels and 272PPI pixel density. Also in the equation, there’s the 18.5:9 aspect ratio that gives an Infinity display.
Behind the glass, Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 runs the complete show on the smartphone. Performance and efficiency are handled by a Quad-core 1.4GHz ARM Cortex-A53 CPU. This chipset uses a 28nm process technology and 64-bit architecture. Elsewhere, Adreno 308 GPU oversees the phone’s output of graphics.
Selfies are taken by a single 5MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture. On the flip side, photography is executed by an 8MP shooter. Features of the rear camera include LED flash, Autofocus, HDR, Panorama and f/2.2 aperture.
Meanwhile, 16GB ROM keeps hundreds of files on the smartphone. This storage can be increased to 512GB with the intervention of a memory card. A non-removable 3,300mAh Li-Ion battery sees to the lasting duration of this phone.
