Following the unveiling of a number of the budget Galaxy A series which culminated with the launch of the Galaxy A80 a few days back, Samsung mobile has today released a Smartphone for those operating on a very limited budget. Welcome the Galaxy A2 Core – Samsungs latest entry-level, and of course its third Android Go Smartphone.
Samsung as yet to make a formal announcement, but the full specs detail is already available and is also now available for purchase in India via offline channels. We are not sure if there would ever be any sort of formal announcement in the country, though it is expected to go on sale outside the shores of India in the coming weeks.
Priced at ₹5290 ($76) in India, the Galaxy A2 Core is astounding value for money smartphone targeted at mostly first time users as well as those who don’t need all the bells and whistles that mid-to-high-end devices offer.
