A couple of days ago, Samsung’s upcoming entry-level smartphone — Galaxy A2 Core was leaked online in a rendered image shared by Evan Blass. Now, the Android Go-powered smartphone has passed through the FCC certification process.
The completion of the FCC certification process for the Samsung Galaxy A2 Core hints that the smartphone could be launched soon. In fact, the device is expected to make its debut in the coming weeks, however, there’s no official word related to this.
The FCC listing of the Galaxy A2 Core lists two devices — SM-A260G and SM-A260G/DS. It shows that the phone’s display will measure 126 mm or 4.96-inches diagonally and is likely to carry support for a qHD resolution.
Under the hood, the phone is expected to be powered by the company’s own Exynos 7870 octa-core chipset, coupled with 1 GB RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. It will also come with a microSD card slot for expanding the phone’s storage capacity.
