The Samsung Galaxy Grand is the latest
big-screen Android smartphone . But this isn’t a
handset that will have Galaxy S III or Galaxy Note II owners enviously
eyeing the latest hardware. Although it gives you massive screen real
estate, the specs look rather reserved, with a lowly 800 x 480 pixel
resolution. Lets see if it meets up to the challenge of todays
smartphones.
The
Samsung Galaxy Grand is a pure mix of plastics and nothing else, the
front display is made of glass which to the disappointment of some is
not Gorilla glas
The bezel on the Samsung Galaxy Grand,
just like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, is a plastic bezel which has been
coated to resemble metal.
The hardware on the Galaxy Grand has
been of controversy since the day the phone was announced. Sporting a
pesky 800 x 480 WVGA 5 inch display the Galaxy Grand was deemed as an
underdog with a lowly display. Which we later found out was a
Broadcom chipset with a dual core 1.2 GHz cpu and Broadcom GPU. The
back and front have impressive 8MP and 2 Mp cameras, the rear one
capable of 1080p video recording. the battery is an impressive 2100 mAh
pack which works well, read more below.
The display is also an LCD Capacitive
touchscreen with 16M colors, and not an AMOLED display.
