Samsung Galaxy Grand Review

Duos Dual SIM (GT-I9082)     See other variants reviews Score: 60.1 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Grand is a solid Android cellphone launched in 2012, which counts with a 5" multi-touch capacitive screen, a fast 1.2 GHz Dual-Core processing unit, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 2 megapixels front facing camera.

Samsung did an amazing optimization job making this phone as lightweight as 5.71 ounces. The Samsung Galaxy Grand is a compact cellphone, taking into account that it has a 5 inches display and it's only 5.65 inches long. This cellphone is incredibly slim and comfortable, being just 0.38" thick.

This device includes a nice 800 x 480 5" screen, providing this cellphone with a nice graphical experience. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

Samsung decided to design this cellphone using a powerful Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1200 MHz and 1 GB RAM. A good aspect of this cellphone is its big 8 GB internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards, allowing the user to install hundreds of apps and games without worrying about space.

The Grand is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front side camera. It is capable of capturing videos in Full HD 1920x1080. In addition, the camera features auto-focus and flash.

This phone comes with a large 2100 mAh Li-Ion battery, which isn't too much for a phone like this. Samsung informs a stand by time of 440 hs and a talk time of 10.2 hours for this cellphone.

This phone provides wifi connectivity (which can be shared with other devices acting as a wireless modem), HSPA+ (4G) connectivity, which is not so fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and fast 3G internet connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Samsung Galaxy Grand has two SIM cards so it is able to work with two different phone lines at the same time.

This phone also includes some cool characteristics such as Bluetooth and GPS Geolocation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This device is not cheap at all considering it is priced 150 dollars, and some similar phones cost a lot less than that. The Grand is definitely the correct choice for you no matter whether you want a cellphone to play games, need a work phone or are looking for a phone mostly for internet broswing and social networks.
