Not worth of money, this mid range mobile can't fulfill user's expectation. Comparing with the low budget phones (price range between INR 6000-8500) this model (i8262) is a fail. At first i want to say about it's con, becuse I thought cons are the most importent part of a reputed and reliable company coz everybody knows about it's stong points but don't know about it's weakness.
CONS
1. GPU of this mobile is very poor, that is why it lags so much. When playing light games like subway surfer or temple run oz it lags pretty much. Not only it lags when gaming it also happens when sliding the menu also.
2. Video playing capability is very bad. Inbuilt video player can't play 720p or 1080p videos. With MX player it can play only upto 720p video but that is very painful to watch. Sometimes the sound of the 720p videos goes off and some times videos goes faster than the sound.......it is very painful to watch. :(
3. Sound quality is not so loud.
4. Phone book opens very slowly.
5. Video recording quality of the rare camera is not so good, it looks grainy. But colour reproduction is good.
PROS
1. Display quality is very good, with low brightness it looks awesome.
2. Internal memory is 8gb and available for users is nearabout 5gb is enough for so many app download. 1 gb ram and 1.2 ghz processor is not bad. It is also able to install apps from external sd card.
3. 5mp rare camera is very good. Colour reception is very natural. Snaping macro image is too good. Camera has so many features, among them 'text" option is very unique and useful.
4. So slim, lightweight and sleek design.
5. The shape of the mobile with 4.3 inch screen is very comfortable for one hand use.
6. 1800 mah battery is good, with heavy use it remains upto 16 hours, for normal use it lasts max 2days.

amj, 19 Sep 2014Many thanx but i've red reviews in which it was mentioned t... moreBro,we can't upgrade Samsung galaxy core to Jellybean 4.3 or even to Jellybean 4.2 unless Samsung releases for it...since,we have only two months of support period, hence there is almost zero chance of new upgrades for galaxy core..forget about kitkat or jellybean 4.3....galaxy core will not even get jellybean 4.2.....and remember there is no universal kitkat/jb4.2/jb4.3.....we can only upgrades our phones if the manufacturer provide us...there is a unofficial way...it is called cyamogen mod.it is unofficial os...smartphones can get kitkat by this custom os..but sadly there is no cyanogen mod for Samsung galaxy core. .becoz, galaxy core has some very old hardwares.itz processor, gpu are very old..these old hardwares don't have drivers for kitkat.becoz the manufacturers of these hardwares hv not release drivers for them..so, cyanogen developers are unable to build cyanogen for galaxy core..someboy tried but his cyanogen has no sim detection, no internet, no bluetooth, no gps, no messaging, no calling, no camera...so without these features any phone is useless..if u want kitkat then sell your galaxy core and buy a new kitkat phone

Galaxy core has no future now... you will be struck where you are... because the specifications are very outdated.. the phone can be said 'just overpriced for its specifications now'.... it heats up very much, cannot play even subway surfers smoothly... doesnt have a good battery backup when used on 3g mode... there are many cons... now its only meant for those who just want a touchscreen andriod phone, whom they would use only for calling and some light stuffs like whatsapp and all... and they want a brand like samsung....
