‎Samsung‬ Galaxy Core Prime

‎Samsung‬ Galaxy Core Prime to Reportedly Launch Soon at Rs. 9,599.

Samsung is not only being tipped to launch its Tizen OS-based smartphone in India this month, but is now also being tipped to launch the unannounced Galaxy Core Prime (G360H) handset in the country by a retailer.

While Samsung has not made any official announcements on the launch of the smartphone, an established Mumbai-based smartphone retailer, Mahesh Telecom, has revealed the smartphone will be priced at Rs. 9,599 in India. Notably, the handset was also seen listed on Flipkart, an e-commerce website, in October at Rs. 8,499.

The retailer, on its Facebook Page, has also mentioned the smartphone specifications, corroborating Flipkart's listing (now removed) except a minor change in processor clock speed and dual-SIM support instead of single SIM.

Key Specs:

- 4.5-inch WVGA (480x800 pixels) PLS (plane-to-line switching) TFT display.
- 5-megapixel autofocus rear camera, and a 2-megapixel front camera.
- 1.2GHz quad-core processor.
- 1GB of RAM.
- Android 4.4 KitKat.
- 8GB of inbuilt storage, and supports expandable storage via microSD card (up to 64GB).
- 2000mAh battery.
The connectivity options in the handset include Wi-Fi b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and 3G.
It is worth noting that although the post mentions 3G connectivity, the Flipkart listing had shown showed 4G-support for the handset.

The Galaxy Core Prime is also listed by the retailer to sport an accelerometer and proximity sensor, apart from measuring 130.8x67.9x8.8mm and sporting a matte body finish with metal sides.
