SAMSUNG LAUNCHES GALAXY CORE PLUS

Samsung Galaxy Core Plus, has quietly launched in
Taiwan. Although it does use
Android 4.2 where the original
Galaxy Core ran 4.1, it's
carrying just 768MB of RAM and
4GB of expandable storage --
both steps down from the 1GB
of RAM and 8GB of space inside
its months-old predecessor.
Android Beat speculates that
Samsung is maximizing its
production efficiency with the
downgrade; it may be using the
same 768MB RAM chips that it
also makes for high-end devices
like the Galaxy Note 3 . Whether
or not that's true, it's clear that
not much else has changed. The
Plus still includes a 1.2GHz
dual-core processor, a 4.3-inch
800 x 480 screen, a 5-megapixel
rear camera and a front VGA
shooter. While the new handset
is relatively cheap at NT$ 7,990
($270 US) off-contract, we'd
rather hunt around for a used
example of its older, more
advanced sibling.
