Samsung has officially launched the new
Galaxy Grand 2 for the Indian Market. The Galaxy Grand 2 is the sucessor
to the Galaxy Grand which is already available in the Indian market.
However, the phone will be available in the Indian market by January
2014 between the price range of INR 22900 to INR 24900. The
new Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 sports a 5.25 inch HD TFT with 16:9 ratio
and a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixel. The device is powered by a 1.2 Ghz Quad-Core processor made by Qualcomm and runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Galaxy Grand 2
is equipped with a 1.5 GB RAM and 8 GB of internal memory expandable
up-to 64 GB.
Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 has Dual SIM compatibility and is packed with a
2600 mAh battery. The dimensions of the device are 146.8 x 75.3 x 8.9
mm, and it weighs 163 grams. With the launch today, Samsung did not give
any clear idea on the pricing. However, Samsung has made it clear that
the price will not be below 22,900 and not above 24,900 Indian Rupees. The chrome trim on the sides add some bling factor but sadly, it will
inevitably start chipping and fading over time. The faux-leather back
is taken straight from the Note 3 and looks a lot better than the glossy
back of the predecessor. The phone is comfortable to hold and is fairly
slim as well, which is good.
The Grand 2 also debuts Club Samsung – a new service which lets you stream (or purchase) localised content – music, movies, web clips live TV, etc. Currently, only movies and music is available, but others should be ready soon by the time the phone hits retail. The Grand 2 comes with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean along with Samsung’s TouchWiz interface. The UI wasn’t very smooth however and we noticed quite a bit of lag when jumping around apps and homescreens. This could be restricted to the demo units alone so we’ll have to wait till we get our hands on the final unit. Just like the first phone, the Grand 2 is also a dual-SIM handset so you can use one SIM for calling and the other for data.
Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 will be available in January next year when it is available for purchase. Samsung also vaguely mentioned that it will come up with exciting New Year offers in next couple of days. The phone will be available in White, Black and Pink colours.
