Level 1 cache (L1)

Cache memory is used by the processor to reduce access time to more frequently used data and instructions. L1 (level 1) cache is small in size and works much faster as system memory, and other levels of cache memory. If the processor does not find the requested data in L1, it continues to look for it in the L2 cache. On some processors, this search is performed simultaneously in L1 and L2.

16 kB + 16 kB (kilobytes)
Level 2 cache (L2)

L2 (level 2) cache is slower than L1 cache, but in return it has a higher capacity, allowing it to cache more data. It, like L1, is much faster than system memory (RAM). If the processor does not find the requested data in L2, it continues to look for it in the L3 cache (if available) or in RAM memory.

In my salon cellular communications People often ask how to choose a smartphone that suits you according to the parameters, can play modern games and at the same time is not expensive. So I decided to carry out Samsung review Galaxy Core Duos i8262, which is one of the most popular smartphones of this company in this pricing policy. The phone is quite convenient, with big screen, however, there are quite a few disadvantages. Let's look at all the pros and cons of this device and also decide whether it is worth buying in 2014-2015.

First impression

The case is not the most comfortable, smooth and glossy, easily scratched. 2 micro device sim cards, below the display there is one mechanical button and two touch ones on the sides. In principle, the phone fits comfortably in the hand, the only thing is the gloss that confuses, but do not forget that in the line of smartphones Samsung Galaxy it is considered a budget option.

Equipment

  1. Battery (it’s better to buy an extra one if possible)
  2. USB cable for connecting to a PC (part of the charger)
  3. Wired headset
  4. Charger

Installed on your Samsung Galaxy Core smartphone Li-ion battery capacity of 1800 mAh. Samsung stated that the device can last 9 hours in talk mode, and 300 in standby mode. Personally, my opinion is that the battery is too small for this gadget. The device runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which increases battery consumption.

The Core i 8262 has a 2-core Cortex A5 processor. Each core has a frequency of 1.2 GHz. This is more than enough for not the most sophisticated toys and applications. No slowdowns or freezes were noticed either; the processor is quite tolerable.

Display

The screen has a diagonal of 4.3 inches, it is quite convenient to watch movies and surf the Internet. The display on the Samsung Galaxy Core i 8262 has a resolution of 480 by 800 (WVGA), and also has a depth of colors and shades of 16 million. The screen has a pretty good viewing angle and has a pleasant color rendition, but still it’s clearly not up to amoled + holds out. However, working with such a screen is quite pleasant.

Memory

RAM 1 GB, quite a decent rating today for devices in this category price segment. It claims to have 8 GB of built-in memory, but about 5 gigabytes will be available. It is expandable up to 32 GB.

The Core i8262 has two cameras, front and rear. The resolution of the main camera is 5 megapixels, which is enough to take ordinary photographs during daylight hours, there is also led flash, but in the dark you still can’t take a normal photograph. There is also auto focus and a 0.3 m pixel front camera. The front camera is certainly not very good, but it is enough for Skype.

Little things

  1. Accelerometer
  2. Digital compass
  3. Motion Sensor
  4. GPS support
  5. 3.5mm headphone jack
  6. FM radio
  7. Wifi 802.11 b\g\n
  8. Bluetooth

Minuses

  1. A lot of unnecessary software that cannot be removed
  2. Slippery back cover
  3. It is inconvenient to use in a case, it is large in size
  4. Weak camera

pros

  1. Cheap, reliable
  2. Not a bad processor
  3. Support for 2 SIM cards
  4. Good screen
