This does look like a nice $199 smartphone with an 8-core CPU. I think these cheaper smartphones will be more popular with people once more people know they exist by learning about them on the internet, magazines, and word of mouth.

Other than the impressive quality of the cameras, it looks like a mid-range Android smartphone to me... Leave it to Android to require a bunch of cores... :rolleyes:
It is a mid-range Android smartphone, but its price is cheaper than most other mid-range phones made by Samsung which mostly still use dual-core CPU on their midrange phones instead of 8 core CPUs. 

I agree, Android needs a lot of cores to run faster compared to iOS, Windows Phone, and Firefox OS. I think most average phones for Android now has 4 cores now, and the cheapest Android phones have 2 cores.
 
not bad, good for those with a low budge or don't want something fancy.
