Samsung Galaxy Core Prime, which made a guest appearance on flipkart couple of months back, is now available on brick and mortar stores, according to trusted source for Smartphone Info, MaheshTelecom. Samsung Galaxy Core Prime has been priced at 9,599 INR.

The Galaxy Core Prime features a 4.5 inch display with 800 x 480 pixel WVGA resolution. This budget Android smartphone is powered by 1.2 GHz quad core processor (most likely snapdragon 200) assisted by 1 GB RAM and 8 GB internal storage. You can further add up to 64 GB of secondary MicroSD storage. Software is Android 4.4.2 KitKat with touchWiz UI on top.

Galaxy Core prime is 8.8 mm thick and houses a 2000 mAh battery. Imaging hardware includes a basic 5 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera for selfies and video calling. Other features include 3G HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and GLONASS.

Compared to what most other hadsets are offering in this price range, Galaxy Core Prime is miles behind the corner. The major highlight is of course the Samsung branding on which the Korean giant aims to sail through in tough waters.

Other alternatives include Moto G First Gen 16 GB, Asus Zenfone 5 and Asus Zenfone 5 Lite. According to MaheshTelecom, the handset has an MRP of 11,300 INR and is selling for a best buy price of 9,599 INR. The price can be expected to be slightly lower on online retail stores.
