Samsung Galaxy Core Prime 4G quietly launched in India for Rs. 9,999

Samsung has been battling the onslaught of OEMs of the far East for quite a while in India, and is now making an attempt to get back into the game. It has now launched a budget 4G LTE smartphone named the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime 4G. The smartphone was due for a release back in March in India but got delayed due to some unknown reasons.



A Mumbai based retailer, Mahesh Telecom, has revealed that Samsung has quietly launched the smartphone through brick-and-mortar stores in India. Airtel’s top guns told us last month, when it launched 4G in Mumbai, that the future will see Airtel tying up with Samsung for promoting 4G. As a result, this one comes with free 3GB of 4G data from the telecom operator. Other freebies include free premium subscriptions  for Hungama and Vuclip services for three months.

It shares all its specifications with the regular Galaxy Core Prime and adds 4G LTE connectivity on top of things. It features a 4.5-inch PLS LCD WVGA display, Android 4.4 KitKat operating system, a 1.2GHz quad-core Spreadtrum SC8830 processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, microSD card slot, 5-megapixel primary camera with autofocus and LED flash, a 2-megapixel secondary camera, and a 2,000 mAh battery.

Samsung Galaxy Core 4G specifications

• 4.5-inch PLS LCD display, WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) resolution, 233 ppi, and capacitive multitouch screen


• Android 4.4 KitKat operating system with TouchWiz UX


• Spreadtrum SC8830 SoC, 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM


• 8GB ROM and a microSD card slot


• 5MP primary camera, autofocus, LED flash, and 2MP secondary camera


• 4G, HSPA+, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.0, A-GPS, and microUSB v2.0 port


• 2,000 mAh removable battery

The device is meant to take on the brigade of budget 4G smartphones already on sale in the country, but we don’t think that people will be interested in buying the device. It comes with quite low specifications for its price, and there are much better options out there such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G, Yu Yureka, Yu Yuphoria, Lenovo A6000, Lenovo A6000 Plus, and Lenovo A7000 that offer better specifications at the same or even lower price than the Galaxy Core Prime 4G. If such dismal performance continues, Samsung will lose whatever marketshare it currently has in the low-end segment.

Asus to introduce 13MP selfie phone

Asus recently launched the ZenFone 2 family of smartphones in India, but it didn’t launch the Zenfone Zoom in the country. This maybe because of its high price tag, but that isn’t stopping the company from making one more variant of the device. Yes, the launch of a new variant of the ZenFone 2 is on the cards.



According to a new report, the Asus ZenFone Selfie could be launched soon. It features a 13-megapixel front-facing camera as opposed to 5-megapixel front-facing cameras in the rest of the ZenFone 2 family. It will also feature dual-tone dual-LED flash on the front for better selfies, and laser autofocus system for the rear-facing 13-megapixel camera just like the LG G4. Other hardware specifications will be similar to the ZenFone 2 – a 5.5-inch 1080p display, a quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor, 2/4GB RAM, 16/32/64GB storage, and a 3,000 mAh battery.

The device might be announced at the Zensation event at Computex that will happen next month. Whether or not it will be released in India is a different matter altogether, but we will keep you updated.

No Lollipop update for ASUS phones for next 3-4 months

The Asus Zenfone 2 series of smartphones has gone on to become quite popular in India, but Asus seems to have forgotten the ones who bought the first generation Zenfones that were launched in India. They are awaiting the Lollipop update from quite some time now, and it seems that they’ll have to keep on waiting.



Asus has just revealed through its Indian Facebook page that the Lollipop update for the Zenfone 5 will be delayed by another 3-4 months. The update was supposed to come earlier this year, but it got delayed to mid-May. as mid-May came, Asus again hit a roadblock on May 21, and as a result, the update has further been delayed till August-September.

The update for Zenfone 5 getting delayed hints towards the update for the Zenfone 4 and Zenfone 6 getting delayed as all of them have a similar set of specifications. The update will have to go through Indian carriers as well before finally hitting the devices so that might be another snag in the update rollout.

Initially, the update for the Padfone S was delayed alongside the update for Zenfones. Asus hasn’t stated if this further delay will be applicable for the Padfone S as well, but we hope not.
