Dual SIM Samsung Galaxy Core 2 to be launched in May

It looks like Samsung has a new smartphone that’s going to be included in the company’s Galaxy Core series. According to Russian website Hi-tech.mail.ru, the upcoming handset is called Galaxy Core 2.

The website has a couple of images that allegedly show the new Galaxy Core 2, and it’s also providing details about its features. Reportedly, the handset will run Android 4.4 KitKat at launch, sporting a not-so-great 4.5-inch display with 480 x 800 pixels. It will further offer HSPA+ connectivity, dual SIM capabilities, a VGA front-facing camera, 5MP rear camera, a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, only 512MB of RAM, 4GB of expandable internal memory, and a 2,000 mAh battery.

The Samsung Galaxy Core 2 should cost about $277 (€200) in Russia, which is more than you'd expect to pay for it. Anyway, the handset is supposed to go on sale there starting May. We’re assuming that Samsung will also release it in various other markets.

Before the Galaxy Core 2, Samsung introduced four other smartphones from this series: the original Galaxy Core, the Galaxy Core Plus, the Galaxy Core Advance, and the Galaxy Core LTE.
