Samsung has been rumored to be working on an Android Go phone for a while, and today, pictures of the device — purportedly called the Galaxy J2 Core — were leaked by SamMobile.

Aside from showing off what to expect from the device’s hardware, the pictures also reveal that while the phone may be part of Google’s stripped-down Android Go program, it’ll still be running Samsung’s own skinned software. As SamMobile points out, if you read the Android Go website carefully, it never does promise that Go phones will feature stock Android — just that they’ll be faster, more efficient entry level smartphones.
