Of course, it could last longer or shorter for you, depending on how you use your phone. In CNET's continuous looping video test, the Core Prime's performance exceeded expectations, lasting 10 hours each in both tests. Samsung says the Core Prime's 2,000mAh battery will last for up to 10 hours on 3G talk time, up to 9 hours on video playback, and up to 11 hours of Wi-Fi Internet time. While the Core Prime plays casual games and popular titles just fine (especially since many games are optimized for mobile), these numbers make it clear that it lacks the sheer horsepower of premium devices.
You can see from the Geekbench 3 and 3DMark - Ice Storm Unlimited benchmark tests that the Galaxy Core Prime falls far behind the top-tier Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG G4 in graphics processing. Note: Longer bars indicate better performance The game didn't play as smoothly, cleanly or responsively as it does on faster phones, but that didn't wipe out its fun factor. That certainly was the case for Riptide GP2. Game developers try to optimize graphics so their wares are immersive on any level screen. Still, I wouldn't get too worked up about it. The poor screen resolution and slower internal motor take a toll on gameplay, especially when you compare a title on a high-end handset. The Core Prime does dawdle a couple seconds between camera shots, which is also pretty typical for a lot of handsets, but you can switch to "continuous mode" to take burst shots. Verizon's fast network in my testing area (more on that below) helps videos and songs stream fairly quickly. Navigation remains responsive as you're scrolling through screens and menus. The good news is that this 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm chipset is the same one found in virtually every phone of this level, so the Core Prime is right on par with its closest rivals.
While the photo of our standard studio shot is in focus, the camera bathes the scene in cold blue tones. Here, you'll be asking for second helpings of both. Flash-free shots require you to let go of perfection in exchange for authenticity, but you also have to willingly stomach a fair amount of graininess and indistinction. Here's the age-old question: do you take indoor photos with flash or without?įlash produces a bright light that makes everything a little brighter and clearer, but it's also fake as sin. If you aren't paying attention, you'll wind up taking a lot of lower-res photos that don't come across as nice or detailed as all of your friends'.Ĭalibrated at the height of its capacity, the Core Prime's camera captures brightly colored outdoor photos that contrast with its rather bloodless images in low-light situations.
This does change the aspect ratio from 3:5 for the 3.9-megapixels and 4:3 (which is now typical) for the maximum resolution. Josh Miller/CNETīeware! For some motivation, which Samsung is not alone in heeding, the Galaxy Core camera default tunes to 3.9-megapixels out of the box, rather than the full-strength 5-megapixel. The 5-megapixel camera takes colorful outdoor shots and poor photos indoors.
