                      HI, this phone was create at 2013 June and i got chance to buy when augustus 2013.
                      And until today 28 Nov 2015, i'm still using this phone and what i can say "Old but Gold".
                      Why i can say that, cause if you dou search on google with "Custom room samsung galaxy core", you will find any kind of room with so many options. Like greats performs for gamer, great audio quality for music lover and great long lasting batree. But i will make you losse of guarated of the phone, sice the phone already pas 2 year there is no problem to do that.
                      I will give you some other advice to keep your phone performe :
                      1. Using original samsung charger, it will pervent your phone from charging problem and broken usb port.
                      2. If you want to charging this phone when you sleeping, please turn off the phone. To avoid heat cause by charging and make your sleep more confortable.
                      3. Don't download anykind of aplication like clean master or double batre on PS, cause no efect at alll. Insist uninstal aplication that you not used, cause if you instal some aplication and never use as daily time. The Apps still running on your backgroud and will make phone perform down.
                      4. To avoid hot on phone when you put on the bag for long time, please switch to airplane mode or turn off the internet conection.
                      5. and the last do cleaning on part of phone, with tissue :D
                      Happy using Galaxy Core Duos
