But I will like to here opinions about the phone from people who already have it.

Please, kindly help with useful information about the performance, battery life and other useful info.

kaze4blues:

U will need to visit a phone engineer first.

BTW, I also intend to buy the samsung galaxy core any moment from now.

Kindly help with useful info about the overall performance of d phone, battery life and other things.

Thanks

the phone is good. I love it. It can't play HD games and videos though and the screen isn't bright enough that it's almost difficult to use outdoors (in sunny areas). Battery back up is ok. The screen is very responsive. I don't know why I got mine broken. All in all, it's a good bet for 37k and even less than 34k @Jumia.

abeg I'm talking about Samsung Galaxy Core. Thats the phone I am using. It's not compatible with HD games. I just broke the screen of mine and wondering how much the replacement would cost.
