Verdict:

If we take a look at Samsung Galaxy Core 2, we will notice that even though it is in the same price range as the Leopard, it lacks features that this one does not, such as having good cameras, low RAM, having a 1.2 GHz Quad Core processor compared to 1.3, smaller screen size, and lesser screen resolution. However, when compared to XOLO Q1200, we may find out that most of the specifications of the two are same but the latter possesses a better battery time and is lighter in weight, and comparatively lower in price, putting the Leopard at great risk. However, for those wanting an affordable, strongly-built smartphone with a fast processor and a decent camera, they must go for the Obi S502 Leopard.
