It is a very good phone, almost all expert reviews says it. I dont understand why people compare it to other while writing reviews.
Focus on the phone's performance.
1. 1.2 GHz Dual core gives good performance to work, but large Games will lag.
2. 1GB RAM is a good deal when it comes to gaming and running applications.
3. Screen Size is good, lower than Grand, but high than S Duos.
4. Resolution is good, but not for Games.
5. 5MP cam is also good, people who say its very low, excuse plea...

I have purchased this phone last Wednesday i.e. 31.07.2013. The first day of purchase was gone exploring the various features of the phone. Though I am not a tech geek in the real sense of the term, yet I say that this phone is surely overpriced, given the varieties available today. I should have been ideally priced between Rs. 13,000/= to Rs. 14,000/= given the configuration standards of today, or even a little less. Its display is good, and the screen respond to touches well. Internet surfi...

First of all I am veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy much happy with the service of Flipkart.....You people should manufacture your own product!!!

About Phone.................
I am using this phone for last 15 days...The phone has 1.2 GHz dual core processor coupled with Adreno 203 graphics unit & 1GB RAM which looks good on paper, but not at all good in real scenario . I am very much disappointed when I see my friend is playing Subway Surfers/ Temple Runner flawlessly with his I-ball..Could u imagine .....

well from the price perspective and mid range users this is just the most perfect phone one cal ever have.
this phone does not lag at all on normal usage. with heavy usage there is a slight lag especially while playing games like subway surfers. the other games seems to be running just fine.
battery backup is again good as it lasts from one full day and more with normal usage
the camera is amazing and captures crisp images
the hardware specs and the ram what it has is impossible to get at thi...

For those noobs saying that Galaxy S Advance, Ace 3, and Core are the same, you guys don't know technology. The main difference is the android version core runs on jelly bean and s advance is ginger bread. Android jelly bean is better than ginger bread in every possible way, UI, memory management, etc.
Pros:
-Core is the only device in its price range (i.e. Less than 15k INR) that has 4.3 inch screen. Screen dimensions matter quite a lot.
-Smart phones should have enough battery for 18 hours ...

Samsung has stopped selling Hardware and it is now
selling Software ....
Did you all see the S4 release, Samsung presented all
the cool features of the phone, It is so feature rich
and at the end of the presentation they showed a
slide with the phones processor and stuff ....


At the end of the day Software uses the Hardware
and we use the software and the way Samsung adopted
android and with their touch wiz UI is simply amazing

Bought this for my father as his birthday present on new year eve (it's 31st December). it's been in use for almost 3 weeks now and the first impressions are as follows:

1. Design; its high time, samsung should relook into its design policy. A fresh design is long awaited. The phone looks same as Galaxy S1 launched more than 3 years ago.

2. Hardware: Just bare minimum, if you wish to use add-on softwares like Truecaller, Swype Keyboard, and Live wallpapers etc.

3. Screen: certainly not ...

Hi All,
Those who are giving so less ranks and bad review comment... let them go and buy mobile from other companies for less price and suffer for life time... I am using mobile phones since 2002. I have used mobile phones from all companies like Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, LG and currently again came back to Samsung and using Samsung Grand Duos. If someone is seriously interested in stability and performance for long term perspective then I would definitely recommend Samsung, And at this price...
