Samsung has quietly listed its new budget Galaxy Core Prime smartphone on the company's India e-store, at a price of Rs. 9,700. Notably, the listing currently notes that the handset is 'Not in Stock', with no word on availability.

The Samsung Galaxy Core Prime earlier this month was claimed to launch soon in India by an established Mumbai-based smartphone retailer, Mahesh Telecom, claiming the smartphone would be priced at Rs. 9,599 in India. Notably, the handset was also seen listed on Flipkart, an e-commerce website, in October at Rs. 8,499.

The Android 4.4 KitKat-based Samsung Galaxy Core Prime is said to feature dual-SIM support, a 4.5-inch WVGA (480x800 pixels) PLS (plane-to-line switching) TFT display, and a 1.2GHz quad-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM.

It comes with 8GB of inbuilt storage, and supports expandable storage via microSD card (up to 64GB). The Galaxy Core Prime is said to include a 5-megapixel autofocus rear camera, and a 2-megapixel front camera. There is a 2000mAh battery onboard. The connectivity options on the handset include Wi-Fi b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and 3G.

The Galaxy Core Prime includes an accelerometer and proximity sensor, apart from measuring 130.8x67.9x8.8mm and sporting a matte body finish with metal sides. It is currently listed in three colour variants - Charcoal Grey, White, and Silver.

Last month, Samsung's dual-SIM variant of the metal-clad Galaxy A5 was listed on company's China website. Listed on Samsung's China website as the Galaxy A5 (SM-A5000), the smartphone came with dual Nano-SIM support, and packs the same specifications as the single-SIM Galaxy A5.
