Dual SIM support and a compact 124g body make this one easy to carry, but the hardware underneath is firmly entry-level. A dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon S4 Play chip and 1 GB RAM handle basic tasks and calls, though you won't want to push it much further than that. Storage sits at 8 GB with roughly 4.5 GB usable, and a microSD slot lets you add up to 64 GB more.

The 4.3-inch TFT screen runs at 480 x 800 pixels, fine for texts and menus but not built for sharp media viewing. Samsung Galaxy Core price in Malaysia starts from RM267, which lines up with what you'd expect from this tier of specs.

Camera-wise, there's a 5 MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a VGA front camera for basic selfies and video calls. The 1800 mAh battery is modest by today's standards but matches the low-power screen and chipset. It ships with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and comes in Metallic Blue or Chic White.
