Reception

[edit]

PCMag noted the compactness of the phone.[12] TechRadar did not consider it a good contender at the low-end spectrum of the market.[13]

Controversy

[edit]

A Samsung Galaxy Core Prime has exploded while a male child was holding it. He was rushed to the hospital after calling 911, and after recovering, suffered from a phobia of mobile phones.[14] This generated some confusion because it was assumed it was a Samsung Galaxy Note 7, infamous for exploding.[15]
