The Samsung Galaxy Core launched back in May has been updated in the form of a new device, Galaxy Core Plus.
The Galaxy Core Plus is everything that the Galaxy Core was save for two things: the RAM and the Android version. The Galaxy Core Plus has 768 MB RAM, a reduction since the Galaxy Core has 1 GB of RAM. It also packs Android 4.2 out of the box, an update since the Galaxy Core shipped with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The rest of the specs are as follows:

- CPU: 1.2GHz dual-core processor
- Memory: 768 MB of RAM. 4 GB internal storage (1.93 user accessible) expandable via mircoSD upto 64 GB. There’s also 50 GB free cloud storage from Dropbox bundled with the device
- Camera: 5 megapixel main camera and a VGA front-facing camera
- OS: Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
- Battery: 1800 mAh
- Colours: White, Black, Pink
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, GPS, NFC
- Others: GSM Quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHZ), WCDMA Dual Band (900/2100 MHz), GPRS, EDGE, HSPA 21 Mbps/HSPA 5.76 Mbps
The Galaxy Core Plus has been launched in Taiwan but should be available in most markets where Samsung readily pushes mid-range and low end Android smartphones pretty soon and is bound to replace the Galaxy Core in store shelves.
