Samsung has added yet another smartphone to its mid-range club and has extended its Galaxy Core lineup. The South Korean manufacturer has officially announced the Galaxy Core Advance, after unveiling Galaxy Core and Core Plus earlier this year.

Samsung Galaxy Core Advance features a design similar to the previous Core series devices, but comes with enhanced hardware specifications. The Core Advance sports a 4.7-inch TFT display with WVGA resolution.

Under the hood of the Galaxy Core Advance, there is a dual core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory with the ability to expand it via microSD. The latest mid-range smartphone from Samsung measures 133.3 x 70.5 x 9.7 mm and weighs about 145g.

The 5 megapixel rear camera and the VGA front facing shooter complete the camera department. As usual, the smartphone has a wide range of connectivity options, but does not include LTE support. Samsung Galaxy Core Advance runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and packs a 2,000mAh battery.

Unfortunately, there is no official word on the the pricing of the smartphone at the moment, but we know it will go on sale in early 2014 in Deep Blue and Pearl White versions.
