Samsung Electronics bolstered its Galaxy line of smartphones with four new devices, providing some lower-tier options for people looking to avoid the high price tag of its flagship Galaxy S5.

The tech giant on Monday unveiled the Galaxy Core 2, Galaxy Star 2, Galaxy Ace 4 (called the Galaxy Trend 2 in the UK), and Galaxy Young 2, each with smaller displays and less powerful processors than the GS5. All four new devices run the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, Android 4.4 KitKat, like the GS5.

Samsung Galaxy Core II

Samsung Galaxy Core II is the most powerful device among the newly announced phones. It comes with a 4.5" WVGA display and runs on a quad-core 1.2GHz processor. The rest of the specs include 768MB of RAM, 4GB expandable storage, a 5MP rear camera with a LED flash, a VGA front snapper, and a 2,000mAh battery.

Samsung Galaxy Core II offers fast 3G connectivity with 21Mbps downlink, dual-SIM, Wi-Fi N, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with GLONASS and FM radio. It runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and will become available in White and Black flavors.

Samsung Galaxy Young 2

Samsung Galaxy Young 2 is a very little fella with a 3.5" HVGA display and it is powered by a 1.0GHz single-core processor. It comes with half a gig RAM, 4GB expandable memory, a 3MP fixed-focus rear camera, and a 1,300 mAh battery.

Galaxy Young 2 is running on KitKat too, and has the same connectivity package as the Core II - 3G, dual-SIM, Wi-Fi N, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0 and FM radio. It will come in white and iris charcoal colors.

Samsung Galaxy Star 2

The Galaxy Star 2 should be even cheaper than the Young 2. It is pretty much the same phone though skipping the 3G connectivity and downgrading the rear camera to 2MP. The rest is the same - a 3.5" HVGA display, a 1GHz processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage with a microSD slot.

Just like the Young 2, the Star 2 offers dual-SIM, Wi-Fi N, GPS, Bluetooth and FM radio. The Android version in charge of operations is still 4.4 KitKat. You will be able to get the Galaxy Star 2 in white and iris charcoal paintjobs, too

Samsung Galaxy Ace 4

The Ace 4/Trend 2 has a 4-inch display -- the same size as Apple's latest iPhone -- and offers either a dual-core 1.2GHz or dual-core 1GHz processor.

The LTE variant packs 1GB of RAM, while the 3G variant comes with 512MB of RAM. The Galaxy Ace 4 LTE is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and packs an 1800mAh battery. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Ace 4 (3G) is backed by a 1GHz dual-core processor and packs 1500mAh battery. Common specifications of the Galaxy Ace 4 3G and LTE variants are 4-inch WVGA TFT display, 5-megapixel rear camera, and VGA front camera.

The smartphone comes with Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n, A-GPS, GLONASS, and Micro-USB connectivity options. Both the variants of the Galaxy Ace 4 will be available in Iris Charcoal and Classic White colours.

Availability

Samsung is yet to detail the pricing and availability any of the three smartphones.
