Samsung's Galaxy Core Advance Features Physical Buttons, Low-End Specs

Samsung has announced a new smartphone in the Galaxy family, the 4.7-inch Galaxy Core.

Not to be confused with the 4.3-inch phone named Galaxy Core from May, the new Android device sports a dual-core, 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage memory (expandable to 64GB via microSD memory cards), a 5-megapixel camera and a 2,000 mAh battery.

Physical keys for the more-or-less standard Android functions -- menu, home and back -- are a detail that makes it different from most phones in the Galaxy family.

The Galaxy Core Advance is running Android 4.2 and supports Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, BT 4.0 and HSPA connectivity.

The device will come in two colors -- Deep Blue and Pearl White -- and it will become available early next year at a yet-undisclosed price.
