Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 Review

LTE (SM-G7105)     See other variants reviews Score: 68.1 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 is a high-end Android phone launched back in the year 2013, which counts with a pretty large 5.2" touch-screen, a high performance Quad-Core CPU speeding at 1.2 gigahertz, and 2 cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 1.9 MP front camera. Is that all? No, it's only the introduction of a much deeper review.

This phone has a gorgeous design, with a thickness of just 0.35". The Grand 2 is quite a compact phone, given that it features a 5.2 inches screen and it is only 5.78" long. Samsung made an amazing job making this cellphone as lightweight as 5.75 ounces. Samsung offers the Grand 2 in a nice range of color options: black, pink, white and gold.

Samsung decided to design this cellphone using an extremely powerful Quad-Core processing unit running at 1200 MHz, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 8226 system chip with a large 1,5 GB of RAM. Collaborating with graphic calculations, it also has a 450 MHz Adreno 305 graphics processing unit. The Grand 2 counts with a good 8 GB internal storage and an SD memory slot, which allows you to install a couple hundred apps and games without any trouble.

This cellphone includes a good looking 5.2" display with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, giving this cellphone a very good image quality. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This device features WiFi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) great performance connectivity and also HSPA+ connection type, a slower 4G technology and the fastest 3G internet connection, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone comes with two SIM cards so it is able to work with 2 different carriers or phone numbers in the same cellphone.

The Grand 2 has two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.9 megapixels front-facing camera. The Grand 2 also captures videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 frames per second. Additionally, this cellphone's camera also counts with some useful features like flash, auto-focus, geo tagging and HDR mode.

This phone counts with a large 2600 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery, enough to provide this cellphone with an amazing battery duration.

The Grand 2 also features a couple of interesting characteristics as Bluetooth, GPS Geolocation and FM Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone may not be a great choice considering it is sold for 180 dollars, while other similar phones are offerred cheaper than that. This cellphone is definitely the correct option for you no matter if you need it for work, want it majorly for internet broswing and social networks, will use it to play lots of games or are an amateur photographer.
