Dual SIM functionality is the main draw here, paired with a Snapdragon S4 Play dual-core chip running at 1.2GHz and 1GB RAM. That's enough for basic Jelly Bean multitasking but not much beyond it. Storage sits at 8GB out of the box, though only 4.5GB is actually usable, so the microSD slot (up to 64GB) isn't optional if you plan to keep photos or apps around. The 4.3-inch TFT screen runs at 480 x 800, which was standard for the entry tier back in 2013.
Camera-wise, you get a 5MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a VGA front camera for basic selfies and video calls. Video tops out at 480p, so no HD recording. The 1800mAh battery is modest by today's standards but matched the low-res screen and modest chipset of its time.
Samsung Galaxy Core Duos price in Malaysia starts from RM705. It comes in Metallic Blue and Chic White, with Wi-Fi, GPS, and FM radio rounding out the connectivity list.
