There are a number of reasons to consider the Samsung Galaxy Core - the screen is decent, the camera is quite fine for the class and the smooth Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on board. But as this is quite a crowded part of the market, there are also many smartphones, who'd try and give you reasons to look the other way. Let's have a look.
If the Samsung Galaxy Core is very close to what you wanted, but no cigar, you should consider its Samsung Galaxy Win sibling. Costing slightly more than the Galaxy Core it brings a bigger 4.7" WVGA display to the table, quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A5 chip and matches the Galaxy Core on all other accounts.
Of course the dual-SIM smartphone market is no longer the wasteland it was a couple of years ago, so the Samsung Galaxy Core will face some stiff competition. Devices like the HTC Desire 600 or Sony's Xperia M are ready to take advantage of any chinks in the Galaxy Core armor and when you read the fine print you realize there are quite a few those.
