Samsung has announced a new smartphone, the Galaxy Grand, which boasts of dual-SIM capabilities and runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. No launch date or price of the smartphone has been revealed.
The reason we call this a love child of the Note II and the S III is because its exterior looks like the S III and it also has a large 5-inch display quite reminiscent of the Note. In terms of other specifications under the hood, the Galaxy Grand boasts of a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. The rear houses an 8MP snapper with the ability to shoot HD video and the front has a 2MP video-calling camera. It also sports 8GB built-in storage expandable up to 64GB via a microSD card. It also includes other standard specifications such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS and sensors such as an accelerometer, compass, and gyroscopic sensor.
The only downside to the Galaxy Grand appears to be the display. It is 5-inches which is larger than the 4.8-inch display of the Galaxy S III and is smaller than the Note II which is 5.5-inches. The resolution of the display is disappointing at 480x800 when the S III and the Note II have a resolution of 1280 x 720. So, it’s surprising that the Galaxy Grand has such a low-resolution display despite having some good specifications.
The only explanation for this is that the device is targeted at the budget 5-inch phablets that have started making an appearance in the market. Recently, we have seen the iBall Andi 5Cr and the Zync Cloud Z5 hit store shelves in India.
