Verizon has announced that the previously-leaked Galaxy Core Prime, which has a very serious, sci-fi-esque sounding name, will be available on February 26th. It will cost around $200 off-contract (I'm guessing - they say $8 a month on Verizon Edge, which is $192). It has features, like a screen. And a camera. Two cameras, actually. A home button. Did I mention the camera? (Oh, and it actually comes with a promise of a Lollipop upgrade, so that's good, though how long it'll take is anyone's guess.)

As you can tell, then, the Galaxy Core Prime is about as exciting as a bundle of particularly unexciting sticks, despite having an arguably somewhat cool name. So, I added an explosion to the press shot. For excitement.

Here are the actual specs.

PRESS RELEASE

UPDATE: 2015/02/27 3:15am PST BY

The Galaxy Core Prime, with all of its quad-core and 8GB goodness is now available on Verizon. You'll be disappointed to see that there aren't any explosions on the official order page.
