The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The Galaxy A2 Core is compact and light, but limited memory, a low-resolution display and a small battery make it dated for everyday use.

What is good

  • 150 g weight and compact 141.6 mm height aid handling
  • 4G cellular connectivity with Wi-Fi Direct and hotspot support
  • 5 MP main and selfie cameras provide basic photography

What is not

  • 1 GB RAM and 16 GB storage restrict multitasking and space
  • 2600 mAh battery is a major limitation
  • 540 × 960 IPS LCD offers modest sharpness at 220 ppi

How the score breaks down

  • Performance 38
  • Camera 40
  • Display 32
  • Battery 8
  • Connectivity 43
  • Build 81
