Review – Samsung Galaxy A01 Core

The Samsung Galaxy A01 Core is the fresh entry phone from the Samsung in Samsung A Series Smart Phones. The model of the Galaxy A line does not assure an “absurd screen and camera”, as the company’s jingle points out, but it still seems to meet the desires of those customers looking for a packed in smart phone to access social networks, send messages, among other basic tasks.

At an inexpensive price, Samsung deliver here a 5.3-inch screen, a single 8-megapixel camera and a 3,000 mAh good battery. But how does the smart phone works on a day to day basis? Is it worth what it price? Let’s find out in next few moments.

Design

In a market conquered by large mobile phones with high price tag, the Galaxy A01 Core target the buyer who want to escape this tendency and manages to delight. In the words of the company, the device “has a compact format and ergonomic design”, features that I like – even more as the device fits fine in hands.

Do you already have the Galaxy A01? If so, it is surely essential that the Core does not look like the conventional version after all, at least in design. For an entry-level  smart phone, Samsung hasn’t given up on a high-quality finish; it’s not quite impressive, but it’s not bad either.

What stands out the most are the cross ways lines at the back that strengthen hold. In addition to serving to avoid the phone from slipping out of your hands, the stuff still doesn’t gather fingerprints.

Buttons and outputs are well spread on the device. The headphones output is positioned at the bottom, unlike the conventional A01, which conventional the speaker at the back. Rear on the Core, the P2 inputs for headphone and Micro-USB follow in the bottom area.

Camera

Samsung still manufacture devices with a lens and the Galaxy A01 Core is evidence of that. This model received an 8 megapixel camera with an aperture of f/2.2

The front, the 5 megapixel selfie camera (f/2.4) produce very stunning images and can embroider on the face, even in brilliantly lit environment. Running away from noises is almost impractical; at least they are not highlighted in powerful way.

Hardware and Battery

The A01 Core is made for basic smart phone needs. This means that only light games can run well on it. For large games that required a lot of processing, it may slow down. Be sure to use a microSD to store other data, if you ever run out of memory. Taking advantage, the drawer still accepts two chips for simultaneous use.

Even here, the company has placed a 3,000 mAh battery that should allow a day away from the socket, if you only use the device for social networks and calls. Connected to Wi-Fi and with full brightness, one hour of YouTube made the battery go from 100% down to 81. Samsung include a measly 5 watt power supply that makes the phone go from zero to 100% within 3 hours and 48 minutes.
