Samsung Galaxy Core Lite unveiled

Samsung has unveiled another mid-range smartphone that offers LTE connectivity with a sub-$300 price tag, the Samsung Galaxy Core Lite.

Not to be confused with the Galaxy Core LTE which we reported back in February, the new Samsung Galaxy Core Lite has a slightly bigger display which measures 4.7-inch. However, in exchange for the larger real estate, the South Korean firm has outfitted it with a lower screen resolution.

Other than the display, the only two other difference between the two LTE-enabled handsets include a newer and faster Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor on the Galaxy Core Lite which comes at the cost of a slightly lower battery capacity.

Samsung Galaxy Core Lite specs:
4.7-inch WVGA (800 x 480) display, 198ppi
1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor
1GB RAM
