-> Display and Build Quality
This has 4 inch TFT display. The screen resolution 480 x 800 pixels is poor(~233 ppi pixel density) considering most phones coming at this price range ships with a qHD display at least.The viewing angles are good. The build quality and the design of the device is almost same as the old Galaxy S Duos. Plastic.
-> Processor, GPU, Ram and Performance
It is powered by a Cortex A9 dual core processor combined with a Broadcom VideoCore IV HW GPU.It only has 768MB ram of which only 360MB ram is availabe for application use. This combination under performs when comparing to the quadcore mediatek devices coming at this price range. This perhaps is not that visible in your day to day normal activities, but visible in benchmarks and while trying to play HD videos.
-> Operating System
This is running on 4.2 Jellybean under the hood. Like any other samsung device it has the same UI - Touchwiz Interface which is quite heavy and lags when you have a lot of apps installed and are running in the background.
-> Benchmark Scores
Quadrant Standard – 3200+( Similarly priced Canvas 2.2 A114 scores 5900+)
AnTuTu – 11900+( Canvas 2.2 A114 scores 17000+)
Nenamark 2 – 55 fps( Canvas 2.2 A114 scores 56)
-> Camera and Media
5 MP shooter on the back is like any other device’s camera at this price range - average.It gets very grainy in low ligh conditions. 1080P video recording is NOT supported. The front camera is a only VGA.
This device cant play 1080P videos. Even using Mxplayer S/W rendering mode, 1080P videos didn’t run smoothly at all. Most Mediatek quadcore devices can play 1080P videos out of the box
