When a smartphone's successor comes along with a “Plus” in its name, it stands to reason that it will have upgraded internals at least in some aspects. Well, that's a tradition Samsung has gone against with the Galaxy Core Plus, a successor to the Galaxy Core that has been silently launched in Taiwan and comes with a newer version of Android, but downgrades the amount of RAM from 1GB to 768MB. When you're as popular and successful as Samsung, I guess you begin to think you can get away with anything, and that's probably the case with the Galaxy Core Plus.
In case you do plan on getting the Galaxy Core Plus for 7,990 TWD ($270), you'll get a 4.3-inch WVGA (480×800) screen, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 768MB of RAM, 5-megapixel rear camera, 4GB of on-board storage and a microSD slot (up to 64GB), 1,800mAh battery, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The device will probably be launched in emerging markets in the coming months, though we will have to wait for more details on availability.
