Samsung launching Galaxy Core Prime Value Edition with Android 5.1 Lollipop Out-of-the-box

Core Prime

Samsung has already announced Galaxy Grand Prime Value Edition with Lollipop Pre-installed. Now, the korean giant will release yet another low-end Lollipop device, this time it's the Galaxy Core Prime Value Edition.

The specifications of the Galaxy core Prime Value Edition hasn't changed from the Original device. The new handset should sport a 4.5-inch touchscreen, a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 8GB of built-in storage, 4G LTE support, a 5 MP rear camera, and a 2 MP unit for selfies according to the device's listing on the website of a Dutch retailer.

Core Prime

The only major difference is that the Galaxy Core Prime VE will run Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box, while the Original Core Prime variant got update to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop recently in few regions... we might see the same 5.1.1 VE firmware rolling-out to the Original Core Prime users in the upcoming few months.

The Galaxy Core Prime Value Edition will apparently become available next month. Specifically, in the Netherlands you'll be able to grab one from July,23. As for pricing, it should go for around the same amount as the model it's replacing.

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Value Edition Benchmark Scores Leaked

Grand Prime VE

We reported before that Galaxy Grand Prime Value Edition will be released soon with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop Out-of-the-box. The Value Edition device was said to be powered by a Marvel PXA1908 chipset, instead of the Snapdragon 410 in the regular version. Well, apparently that isn't the case, and a Spreadtrum SC8830 SoC is to be found inside the new variant of the affordable 5-incher.

The Spreadtrum SC8830 relies on a quad-core Cortex-A7 processor, which in the case of the SGGPVE is clocked at up to 1.3GHz. The CPU is joined by a single gig of RAM, just like in the S410 version. It's not exactly up to the standard set by the Qualcomm chipset though, as the quick comparison below shows.

Here's the leaked benchmark scores of the Grand Prime VE, it scored 1054 points on GeekBench.

Galaxy Grand Prime

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime was confirmed to get Android 5.0 Lollipop update and even reported to get the latest Android Build 5.1.1 lollipop that is still on the works but the update is expected to start rolling-out by the end of May (this month).

Sadly... Today, the Grand Prime joins the long list of the samsung Galaxy devices that won't be getting the Lollipop update in the Middle-east region. Just to remind you, Previously, Samsung Gulf confirmed that Galaxy E7 won't be getting the update and also Note 8.0 and TabPRO 8.4 won't be getting the Lollipop update too.

@somasarhan أهلاً بك ، نأسف لن يتم إصدار تحديث Lollipop للجهاز الذي حددته، سنبقيك على اطلاع. شكراً لك
— SamsungMobileArabia (@SamsungMobileME) May 13, 2015

Translation of the Tweet (from Arabic to English):
"Welcome, we won't be relesing the Lollipop update for the device you mentioned above (Grand Prime), will keep you updated, thank you".

Now, Samsung Mobile Arabia said via its official twitter account that the Galaxy Grand Prime won't be getting the Android 5.0 Lollipop update in the whole Middle-east region as a reply to a user query about the Grand Prime, this is bad news for the Arab users.

It looks like that Samsung Middle-east firm won't be releasing any lollipop update for any mid-range devices, only latest flagships will get it, however, this is ONLY for the Middle-east and doesn't affect other regions which are confirmed to get the Grand Prime Lollipop update.

[UPDATED!] Unconfirmed News from Samsung UK that Original Galaxy Grand Prime Lollipop Update is Canceled

Grand Prime

Samsung has already released the Galaxy Grand Prime Value Edition (SM-G531) which is exactly the same as the original Grand Prime but drops Snapdragon 410 chipset, replacing it with a Marvell PXA1908 Quad-core 64-bit processor (Cortex-A53) CPU and a new Vivante GC7000 GPU, the Value Edition is launching with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and its official firmwares are already available for Download HERE.

Grand Prime

However, Today, SamsungUK published some unconfirmed news that the Original Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G530) will not be getting the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update which runs a Snapdragon 410 CPU with 1GB RAM. There is no official explanation for this, even if the Galaxy Grand Prime is almost the same specs as Galaxy Core Prime.

@emmanuelvandyck We never want to be the bearer of unwanted news, but the Grand Prime will not be moving to the Lollipop Operating System.
— Samsung UK (@SamsungUK) July 25, 2015

This news will upset all the Grand Prime owners, We don't take information from tweets but we keep track of all kind of official news regarding Samsung updates. YouMobile will contact Samsung for further confirmation regarding this news, Stay tuned!

UPDATE! [27/7]

After contacting SamsungUK it turns out that this info was a incorrect and it's a mistake made by the social manager due to small confusion. In other hands, none of the UK carriers are officially selling the Samsung Grand Prime (locked or unlocked). However, UK users can still get the unlocked european variant from Amazon UK or any other online retailer.

So to all Galaxy Grand Prime, keep Calm and wait for your Lollipop update, there is still hope.

The January Security Patch makes its way onto the Galaxy J2 Prime and the Galaxy Grand Lite

The security patch for January 2017 has started to roll out to the Galaxy J2 Prime and the Galaxy Grand Lite. While it's only natural for the J2 Prime to receive the update as it was only released last November, it is both surprising and good to see that Samsung still remembers the Grand Lite which was released almost three years ago in 2014. However, an upgrade to Lollipop is not officially on the cards for the Grand Lite as it continues to run on the ancient Android 4.4.4 KitKat OS.

The firmware version containing the update for the J2 Prime is G532GDXU1AQA4, while the one for the Grand Lite is I9060CUBS0AQA1. If you have an old Samsung smartphone that you want to upgrade but an official upgrade from Samsung is highly unlikely, head over to our firmware section and find the right custom ROM for your particular handset model. The only thing is that we recommend taking a look at our tutorial at least once before attempting to flash any ROM updates.

It was just yesterday that we reported about the Galaxy J2 Prime being updated by Samsung with the latest security patch for 2017 and now we already have news about the Galaxy J5 Prime receiving the same update. The J5 Prime was released near the end of the third quarter of 2016 and even though it is fairly new, chances of the mid-range handset being updated to Nougat isn't that great. However, Samsung has changed its strategy when it comes to delivering updates to its budget smartphones, so let's just hope that we are wrong about this.

You can check manually for the update if you wish, but you should get the prompt automatically when the January security update reaches your smartphone. The firmware version coming with this patch is G570FXXU1AQA2.

If you can't wait for the latest updates which may or may not be officially rolled out by Samsung, or you would simply like to try something else on your device, head over to our firmware section and check out the hundreds of firmware packages we have for you. Just make sure to go through the tutorial first and download the package that matches with your device's name and model number.

The Galaxy J7 Prime is Already Receiving the August Security Update

Although Google Nexus and Pixel devices have mostly been updated to the latest security patch for the month of August already, Samsung smartphones and tablets are not exactly known for getting fast updates from the OEM, especially when it comes to the company's low-mid range devices. However, that stereotypical thought process doesn't seem to apply anymore as Samsung has now released the August SMR for the mid-range Galaxy J7 Prime in a number of regions.

It is quite astonishing to see the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8 Plus still being stuck with the July security update, while the J7 Prime is being updated to the latest patch. Also to be noted is the fact that Samsung may have released the update even before Google this month as some users had received the August security patch as early as August 1. In addition to all the patches and fixes that Google has built into the update, Samsung has also added a dozen patches and fixes of its own.

Galaxy J7 Prime Starts Getting Android 7.0 Nougat in India

Android 7.0 Nougat is being rolled out to Indian users of the Galaxy J7 Prime and it brings a new user interface, improved notification settings, improved quick settings, improved multi-window functionalities and Dual Messenger with it. As is the case with all major Android OS version upgrades, this is no small file so make sure your J7 Prime is hooked on to your Wi-Fi before starting the massive 1143.09MB download. Note that the firmware version on the big update should be G610FDDU1BQH9.

If you are in India and you still don't see the update for your smartphone, just wait for day or two and it should show up automatically. Alternatively, you can check from Settings > About device > Download updates manually as always. Given that the Galaxy J7 Prime is a newer smartphone, it is a bit surprising that the Galaxy J7 (2016) was given the preference for the same update.

Android Oreo 8.0 is Coming to the Galaxy J7 Prime and the Tab E on T-Mobile

Before you start looking for the update, let us tell you that they are not out yet. In fact, there is no guarantee at this moment as to when these two devices will be getting the OS upgrade on T-Mobile. Nevertheless, it's still good news that T-Mobile has officially confirmed the fact that the much awaited Oreo update is indeed coming to the Galaxy J7 Prime and the Tab E (8-inch) on T-Mobile.

This fact was made official when T-Mobile decided to add the names of these two devices on their website as being in line for the Oreo update via OTA. Given that both the Galaxy J7 Prime and the Galaxy Tab E are budget devices, this news is both somewhat unexpected and pleasant at the same time. If you have any of the devices without a carrier contract, it is unclear whether you will be getting the Android Oreo 8.0 update before or after the T-Mobile versions.

Galaxy On7 Prime Gets Updated to Android 9 Pie

Android Q might already be in the works but most low to mid-range Samsung smartphone owners would be just happy if they get updated with Android 9 Pie for now. Well, if you happen to own a Galaxy On7 Prime, we have that much awaited news for you because Samsung has finally released the Pie for On7 Prime. As of now, it's rolling out in India, which was and still is the main market for teh model when it came out more than a year ago in January, 2018.

The file weighs in at just over a gigabyte (1034MB), so do connect your Galaxy On7 Prime to the Wi-Fi before downloading it directly on your phone. Some of the important changes which the update brings with it are as follows.

· The new One UI

· A more thoroughly implemented Night-Mode

· Support for floating mode in Samsung Keyboard

· Camera Screen Optimizer

· Kids Mode shortcut in the notifications panel

· Security update of the Month (May)

We expect that this will be the last major OS upgrade the Galaxy On7 Prime will receive, since it already got updated to Android 8.1 Oreo last year. The security patches will be released for the device for a long time though, albeit on a quarterly basis.
