Editorial report

Samsung Galaxy J4 Core technical sheet

The Samsung Galaxy J4 Core may suit basic phone use, but its 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage leave little room for demanding tasks or files. Its performance is worse than most phones of its time, and 16GB is less storage than most offered. A memory card can expand storage by up to 512GB.

The 6-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1480px resolution and 274ppi pixel density, below average for its time. Its 3,300mAh battery also has below-average capacity, while 5W charging is among the weakest of its time. Overall, the battery is below average compared with phones launched around the same time.

The camera is worse than most phones of its time: the rear camera is 8MP, with an f/2.2 aperture and no optical image stabilization. Connectivity is below average, with 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.2 and two Nano-SIM slots. At 7.9mm thick, the phone is slimmer than most phones of its time.

Its overall NeoScore is 2.8. This is a basic option for buyers who value expandable storage more than performance, camera capability or charging, and can accept limited RAM, internal storage and battery capacity.
