While Samsung is doing all that it can to promote it’s latest flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S4, but simultaneously, the company is also focusing on bringing more affordable devices to the market.

One of such devices rumored to be in the works, the Samsung Galaxy Core has now leaked online, thanks to the Russian website hi-tech.mail.ru.

According to the leak, the Samsung Galaxy Core will feature a 4.3-inch display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. The smartphone is expected to be powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor coupled with 768MB of RAM. Also, there’s 8GB of storage on-board along with a micro-SD card slot to further expand the storage space on the smartphone.

In terms of camera, the Samsung Galaxy core is expected to feature a 5 megapixel rear snapper, but there is no information about a front camera on the smartphone. For connectivity, it will get the usual set of features like Bluetooth v4.0, Wi-Fi and GPS. The smartphone will also pack-in a 1,800mAh battery.

The smartphone will most probably run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI on top and will measure at 129.3 x 67.56 x 8.95 mm while weighing 140 grams.

The Samsung Galaxy Core is expected to hit Russian and Chinese markets by mid-May for a price of about 320 euros, which roughly translates too Rs.22,500 in India. However, there is still no word about it’s availability in other countries around the world.
