When I last used my 1 core 3.0 inch Galaxy Pocket Neo with 240p screen in 2016 or 2017, it could browse "decently" but to be honest not much else. I never tried doing too much else on it I recall, because it only had 512 mb ram.
The version I had went up to 4.4.2 and I upgraded to it. In late 2023 I tried looking for stock roms again but the particular CSC code of mine went missing or maybe I just used another one.
My last memory of it is playing a funny little game that worked well on the diminutive screen. Then I left it at 0% battery (it discharged on its own) for 6 years. Now it sucks the coil whine out of a charger I have since the NAND fried itself or something like that. It went to Recovery mode and my desktop's top ports don't work for Odin bizarrely enough, so I can't reflash it (I barely can reach the back ports, they're against the wall and the pc is on the floor to save desk space)
It took 30-45 seconds more or less to boot. I remember one time when I factory reset it, it was so slow it hung right at the beginning setup screen!

This was my first smartphone.
Looking at those specs, it's incredible it functioned at all but it was capable of doing email, surfing the net and streaming radio, which is all I needed at that time.
And a replaceable battery! Happy days.

This phone made a big part of my childhood. I remember when my dad bought it in 2013, and I was really memorized by it, due to the really small size (me at that time thought it was pretty big, lol), the modest specs and the alarm ringtones (they sound really great and joyful, wish phone makers can do something like this again in 2021.)

I bought this phone in April 2014, used until the end of 2016. I thought this phone would be good, but then I regret buying this because there are other phones in the same class that are better at a cheaper price. I shouldn't have been in a hurry then 😅

NAY-NAY, 17 Oct 2016i forgot my passwoord, is there anyway i can reset or use t... moreI have a way to remove your password.
First, Turn off your phone
Then, press volume up, power button, & Home button
When you see the logo on your phone, it will go to recovery mode for a several seconds.
Find the Wipe data/factory data reset
then press the power button.
and find Yes (delete all user data)
and all your data will removed, also your password.
then reboot your phone.
when you see the setup screen, setup your phone.
when you done to setup your phone, Tap Finish
and your password is now removed.
I hope it will help this solution
Thanks!

The phone is not as bad as it looks but ONLY if you use it on a custom rom(software) because samsung's official one is too heavy and the phone is EXTREMELY SLOW even if you barely have any apps installed.If you dont have the knowedge how to install a custom rom or dont have a friend who knows how to do it dont buy this phone.
For custom rom I recommend CM11(4.4.4) or CM10.1(4.2.2) both work well,so its up to personal preference.I must note that 4.2.2 doesnt really work faster than 4.4.4 from my experience.
Overall,on custom rom the phone worked quite fast,but it was obvious how hard it got pushed back from its weak hardware.A single core armv7 cpu that works clocked at 1.2ghz(only on roms,stock speed is 850mhz) and 512mb(around 440 actual) ram are not really enough to handle every task properly.
Gaming on this phone is extremely limited of its low storage,its low resolution that some games dont support and obviously its hardware.You can play some light games and emulate gameboy advance and similar old systems through emulator apps.
Web browsing is fair,but some heavier websites really slow down the phone till it would lagspike and sometimes soft reboot,however,thats very rare and it usually works well for the most websites.
Apps like facebook(lite),messenger(lite),steam,discord,skype,etc. work fine.If you need to check the social networks and browse in forums this phone will do the job.
Youtube works on 360p.I highly recommend using an older version of the youtube app because the newer ones are very heavy and work slow,quite annoying.
The camera is 2mpx and there is no front facing camera.There is no autofocus or flash on the back camera,so the quality is pretty bad.You can check for camera samples online,but simply said ''its better than a vga camera''.Video quality is 480p as far as I remember,I rarely uses the video recorder.
The phone doesnt support 4g lte obviously,but still has 3g connection with mobile data and all common stuff.
The battery is one of the stronger aspects of this phone.It can handle around 4 hours screen on time while using it with wifi and high brightness,if you use it offline with low brightness for something like ebooks it can last 10+ hours.
The screen is 240x320 which is the lowest resolution that you can find on a smartphone.There is nothing good to say about it,its simply bad but you get used to it.
The loudspeaker is quite weak,if you like playing music with full volume it still will be quiet.
Video playback(without youtube) is pretty bad.I had issues while playing any movies with quality higher than 480p HQ,while some of them were laggy on 480p as well.
For conclusion,if you find this phone for 15 euros or less its worth it,I guess(second hand,its 5 years old right now so its rare to find it new and its not worth to buy it new).

I won't use it for daily driver if I have it again. I will use it as MP3 player.
