Samsung Galaxy Core LTE
We get our grips on Samsung's midrange 4G phone, the Galaxy Core LTE, which is set for a UK release in the second quarter. Click through for loads of photos.
Bottom edge
The bottom edge of the Galaxy Core LTE houses a microphone pinhole and a mini-USB port.
Volume rocker
The volume rocker on the side slightly bubbles above the edge, making it easy to find when in your pocket.
Is that what I think it is?
From this angle, the Galaxy Core LTE looks a little like another recognizable smartphone.
Sleek sides
The sleek slides lose their high-end appeal due to the Galaxy Core LTE's extra girth.
Jelly Bean flavor of Android
Though it ships with Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2., the Galaxy Core LTE still offers a bevy of useful features.
Solid build for a budget buy
The Core LTE is expected to be affordably priced when it hits stores, yet its build feels anything but cheap. The solid smartphone appears to pack a solid build quality.
Basic back in black
The aligned LED flash, 5-megapixel camera, and speaker is reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2, but with a less premium feel.
Status-quo facade
The Galaxy Core LTE looks like your typical Samsung device, except its 4.5 inch screen makes it one of the smallest releases in Samsung's Galaxy.
5-megapixel camera
These days a 5-megapixel camera won't impress many, but the one on the back of the Core LTE will still work for simple snapshots.
Longer design
The Galaxy Core LTE sports a slightly longer body, even though it's a smaller smartphone.
Touchwiz
It's no surprise that Samsung's Touchwiz makes an appearance on the Galaxy Core LTE. There's loads of apps and customization features to keep you occupied.
Top bezel
The Galaxy Core LTE houses a front-facing 0.3 MP camera and ambient light sensor.
Bottom bezel
The Galaxy Core LTE features capacitive, as well as a home button on its bottom bezel.
It's almost like it's winking
If the LED flash was an eye, the camera a cute button nose, the speaker a winky eye, and the Samsung logo a smirk -- right? Is it just me? Anyways, the aligned features work best when using the smartphone in its default portrait orientation.
4G LTE please
The fast browsing and data downloads while out-and-about is one of the main appeals of a tablet with 4G LTE capabilities.
Back in black
Samsung offers the Core LTE smartphone in black or white.
Black in the front
The black model adds a sleek touch to the otherwise humdrum Galaxy Core LTE.
Capacitive buttons in action
Whether you're a fan of them or not, Samsung includes their capacitive buttons on the bottom bezel of the Galaxy Core LTE.
Thick Core
The Galaxy Core thickness isn't as slim as some top mobiles, but for a smartphone on the budget end, it isn't too bad.
