Smartphone "Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos": review and reviews

In the mid-1930s. The USSR Navy was to receive light cruisers, which were supposed to be equipped with ejection reconnaissance aircraft. In 1930, an imported catapult was installed on the battleship Paris Commune, and DH-55 flying boats (domestic designation KR-1) were purchased for it. To equip new ships and replace the KR-1, it was necessary to create domestic catapults and aircraft for them. The initially designed reconnaissance aircraft was designated KR-2, and then KOR-1. In June 1934, requirements were put forward for the Naval Reconnaissance Unit, which ended up in Brigade No. 5 of the Central Design Bureau, which was engaged in naval aircraft. It was headed by G.M. Beriev.

G.M. Beriev had to solve a very difficult task: to create a machine that met the strict requirements of the military. The requirements stipulated the design of the new reconnaissance aircraft: “Single-float seaplane or flying boat.” KOR-1 was assigned the following tasks: aerial reconnaissance, adjusting naval artillery fire, bombing and diving attack with machine-gun fire. The seaplane had to have good seaworthiness, land on the open sea and have a corrosion-resistant metal frame. According to the ship-based conditions, its wings had to be folded, and in this state the dimensions of the aircraft should not exceed 5 m in width, 11 m in length, and 4 m in height. Design assignment by G.M. Beriev received on August 9, 1934. On this day, a government decision was made to create the Central Design Bureau of Marine Aircraft (TsKB MS) at the aircraft plant No. 31 in Taganrog. The designed aircraft received the internal designation TsKB MS-3, it had to be submitted for state tests on October 1, 1935. On November 22, 1934, the preliminary design of a single-float biplane was approved and agreed upon by Ya.I. Alksnis. The aircraft, if desired by the customer, could be used on a wheeled chassis or skis. After the aircraft model was approved in December 1935, construction of the prototype began.

KOR-1 (Be-2) became the first aircraft with a metal frame in the practice of TsKB MS. Instead of the previously planned installation of the American Wright Cyclone engine on the aircraft, a domestic licensed analogue of the M-25 was installed, this led to a slight decrease in the design characteristics. The aircraft was armed with three ShKAS machine guns, two of which were located in the fairings on the center section of the upper wing, and the third in the pilot-observer cockpit. On September 4, 1936, the prototype aircraft made its first flight (test pilot P.A. Noman). During testing, the aircraft showed good data, but had insufficient stability on water in crosswinds due to the small volume of the underwing floats. After factory tests, the aircraft was sent for modification and installation of a land landing gear. Tests in this version were also carried out by P.A. Noman. During these flights, vibration of the tail surfaces was again observed, as on the naval version. To see this phenomenon with his own eyes, G.M. himself sat in the observer’s cockpit. Beriev. After landing, he gave instructions to strengthen the tail section with bracing tapes, and install struts under the stabilizer. The state tests carried out revealed many shortcomings, and according to the military, the aircraft could not be accepted for service. But nevertheless, it was accepted into service as a transitional vehicle. Several aircraft took part in the Patriotic War, but the aircraft was never used for its intended purpose as a naval reconnaissance and spotter aircraft. Nevertheless, KOR-1 (Be-2) became the first domestic seaplane specifically designed for launch from ship catapults.

And what comes in the basic package?

This device has good, but not flawless, equipment. The list of accessories, in addition to the gadget itself, includes:

  • Rechargeable battery with a nominal capacity of 2000 mAh.
  • Interface cord.
  • Charger with 0.7 A output current signal.

Conspicuously missing from this list is a stereo headset. This situation is typical for an entry-level device. Therefore, acoustics will have to be purchased separately. And without it, the radio will not function - headphones, in addition to their main function - playing a sound signal, in this case they also act as an antenna. The body is made entirely of plastic. Therefore, you will also need an additional case and a protective film for the front panel. Well, a flash card would be useful in this smartphone.

Documentation includes:

  • Warranty card.
  • A business card of the South Korean giant, which contains all contact details of service centers.
  • User guide.
  • Expanded list of supported accessories.

Phone appearance and usability

Samsung DUOS 2 SIM smartphones have a fairly similar design, and it is very difficult to confuse them with devices from other manufacturers. The front panel of this device has a 4.5-inch display. Above it are located components such as the earpiece, front camera and sensors. At the bottom there are three main control keys. The central one is mechanical, and those located along the edges are sensory. The top edge has a standard audio port, the bottom edge has a conversational microphone and a MicroUSB standard port. On the right side of the device there is a power button, and on the left there is a swing for adjusting the volume level. The display diagonal, as noted earlier, of this device is 4.5 inches. Accordingly, operating it with one hand is not difficult.

CPU and its capabilities

Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos is based on the Shark processor developed by Spreadtrum. Its second name, in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, is SC7735S. This is a 4-core solution that, at maximum load, can operate at a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz. Each of its computing modules is built on the A7 architecture. This chip cannot boast of a high level of performance, but its energy efficiency is at an acceptable level. Despite this, the computing resources of this CPU are quite sufficient to solve most problems, both currently and in the foreseeable future.

Gadget and camera graphics

The phone's graphics accelerator is Mali-400. The use of this solution once again indicates that the device is budget-friendly. But still, the computing capabilities of this video accelerator are quite enough for a resolution of 480 x 800 px (this is exactly what the screen of this smartphone has). The display is capable of displaying 262 thousand different color shades, and it is based on the most economical matrix at the moment - TFT. As a result, the viewing angles of the device are far from 180 degrees. If there is a significant deviation from the right angle, the image becomes distorted. A very modest 5 MP main camera is installed in this device. But at the same time, the developers did not forget to supplement it with an autofocus system and an LED flash. The quality of photos and videos is mediocre, but you can’t expect more from an economy-class device. The front camera is based on the most modest 0.3 megapixel sensor. It is difficult to record high-quality photos and videos using it. But still, this is quite enough for making video calls (and this is its main purpose). But in this case, selfies are out of the question.

Memory

A review of the Samsung Galaxy Core 2 DUOS would not be entirely complete without specifying the characteristics of the memory subsystem. It's difficult to understand what the developers were thinking about when they installed 768 MB of RAM on this phone. This is slightly more than the required minimum of 512 MB, and below the comfortable level of 1 GB. It’s worth noting right away that 300-400 MB will be occupied by system processes. The rest, as expected, is left to the user to solve his problems. The internal storage capacity is only 4 GB. Of these, about 2 GB are occupied by the operating system and pre-installed software. The user can use only 1.5 GB to install programs and store personal data. This volume is clearly not enough today. The only solution in this case may be to install an external flash card. Its maximum size can be 64 GB. Another way to solve the problem of lack of integrated memory is to use cloud services to store personal information.

Design and development [edit]

The Be-2 was an all-metal hydroplane - a biplane with two open cockpits mounted in tandem for the pilot and observer. The wings were fastened together but could be folded for storage on a warship. The float structure consisted of a large central float with two smaller floats on the wings. The Be-2 was equipped with a Shvetsov M-25 radial 9-cylinder air-cooled engine (a copy of the American Wright R-1820) with a power of 700 hp.

From the very beginning, the Be-2 design was fraught with serious difficulties in operation and maintenance. However, due to the lack of a suitable alternative, the project was put into mass production. In total, about 300 aircraft were produced.

Autonomy

Reviews of the Samsung Galaxy Core 2 DUOS smartphone indicate good autonomy of the device. The capacity of the included battery, as noted earlier, is 2000 mAh. According to the manufacturer, this talk time is enough for 9 hours. In reality, with average phone usage, one battery charge can easily last 2-3 days. This value is significantly influenced by the screen diagonal (it is 4.5 inches - not so much today) and the energy-efficient processor based on the A7 architecture. If you use the gadget as sparingly as possible, you can extend one battery charge for 4 days. In terms of autonomy, this is one of the best smartphones in its niche.

In 1945, the U-2 became the first Soviet aircraft about which a feature film was made.

The U-2 became the first domestic aircraft to be awarded a feature film, where it, in fact, is one of the main characters. In 1945, the film “Heavenly Slug” with Nikolai Kryuchkov and Vasily Merkuriev . According to the plot, after an accident, fighter pilot Vasily Bulochkin ends up in a regiment of U-2 night bombers. The musical comedy became a classic of Soviet cinema, and the song from it became the unofficial anthem of Russian pilots.

Software

As expected, the Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos operates under the control of the most popular and most widespread Android software platform. The current version of the firmware installed on it is 4.4. There is clearly no need to expect updates. Yes, and this is not necessary. There are no software compatibility problems expected in the foreseeable future. Otherwise, the set of software is quite familiar for an entry-level device in the Galaxy line - this includes a standard set of software from Google, built-in international social networking services, and regular mini-applications.

The plane received the nickname “Cornmaker” for its work in agriculture.

The use of the U-2 in civil aviation began in the pre-war period. A modification of the U-2AP with an aeropollinator for spraying fertilizers and pesticides was developed especially for this purpose. However, the truly wide peaceful life of aircraft of this type began after the Great Patriotic War. The U-2, which did not require high skill from the pilot, was in demand for transporting cargo and mail, agricultural work, and transporting passengers. It was then that the nickname “corn grower” stuck to him. The aircraft was operated in undeveloped territories of Siberia, the Far North, and Central Asia.

Communications

All the necessary interfaces for information exchange are available in the Samsung Galaxy Core 2 DUAL. Galaxy Core 2 Duos can operate in both GSM and 3G networks. In the first case, the transfer speed will be several kilobytes, in the second - several megabytes. There is also Wi-Fi, which is preferable to use when there is an impressive amount of traffic. The developers did not forget about Bluetooth. This wireless interface allows you to output audio to a stereo headset or exchange small files with similar devices. There is also full support for GPS, GLONASS and A-GPS. All this allows the owner of this smartphone to turn it into a full-fledged navigator.

Among the wired methods of transmitting information, we can highlight MicroUSB (allows a smartphone to fully exchange data with a PC) and a 3.5 mm audio port for external acoustics (in this case, a wired connection is implied).

Smartphone cost

Now about one of the key advantages that the Samsung SM-G355H smartphone boasts over its competitors. Galaxy Core2 DUOS is currently priced at $100, which is a very good indicator for a device based on a 4-core CPU with a 4.5-inch display diagonal and good battery life. To this we add impeccable build quality, a proprietary software add-on from Samsung, and we get one of the best offers in the entry-level gadget segment.

Owners' opinion

Now let’s talk about what using Samsung Galaxy Core 2 DUOS gives in practice. Prices, descriptions and reviews indicate that the South Korean giant has produced another good phone in the budget class device segment. According to the owners, this is a good and reliable entry-level smartphone. It has everything you need to get the job done and handles most tasks today without issue. And nothing more is required from it - this is exactly what both users of the device and specialists agree on.

Of course, owners of the Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos smartphone have certain complaints regarding the amount of RAM, processor performance and camera quality. But, on the other hand, the cost of this device currently is only $100 - this is an entry-level gadget. Therefore, as users note, the disadvantages against the background of the low price do not seem so significant. Owners agree that this is one of the best offers in its niche.

In 1944, the U-2 was renamed in memory of its creator.

The biplane was renamed in 1944, after the death of aircraft designer Nikolai Polikarpov. In memory of the man who bore the unofficial title of “King of Fighters,” it was decided to name his most massive creation. So U-2 turned into Po-2, but the former name, which by that time had firmly established itself among the people, is still used much more often.
