GALAXY-GRAND2

Samsung Electronics finally introduced the Galaxy Grand 2, a device that offers an optimal large-screen experience on a portable, compact smartphone aimed at mid-range users. This device is the Galaxy Grand successor hence the name “Galaxy Grand 2” having upgrades to its predecessor including an improved HD viewing experience, enhanced performance, and many other intuitive features.

Samsung is still focussed in extending options at the more affordable end of the market. Beating the slang – A big phone usually comes with a big price tag!

The Galaxy Grand 2 brings users an incredible smartphone viewing experience with a 5.25-inch 1280×720 HD TFT display which works out to 280 pixels per inch, perfect for watching movies, playing games and e-reading. Multi Window takes multitasking to the next level by maximizing the benefits of the device’s large screen, enabling users to run one application in two windows at the same time. Galaxy Note 3′s stitched faux leather back has also been adopted in this device as well.

The processor and RAM has also got an upgrade, which now comes with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and 1.5GB RAM (only half of Samsung’s flagship phones). And an 8 megapixel camera at the back, 1.9 megapixel HD front camera, 8GB of internal memory and support for an external microSD card slot supporting up to 64GB. Other hardware features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, dual-SIM support, just like its predecessor (but it’s only HSPA+). And 2600mAh battery that promises up to 10 hours of playback and 17 hours of calls. Samsung says the dual-SIM capabilities help users maintain better work-life balance or switch seamlessly between networks

The Grand 2 does run Android 4.3 with some useful TouchWiz controls, and other features like Samsung Hub, Story Album, Group Play, S Translator, S Travel, Sound & Shot, Best Shot and more. Samsung hasn’t announced a price, but it’s probably going to be on the low end for an unlocked phone. The first Grand sells for $300-400, depending on the market. The new Grand 2 probably gauged nearly the around that pricing.

The smart device will be available in black, white and pink colours.
