Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Review

(SM-G530F)     See other variants reviews Score: 65.5 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime is a powerful cellphone, coming with an exceptional 1.2 gigahertz Quad-Core 64-bit CPU, a pretty large 5 inches multi touch capacitive screen, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front camera. But it's time to get into a bit more details.

Samsung decided to power this phone with a high-tech 1.2 gigahertz Quad-Core processor, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 chip and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little bit low considering this phone's impressive processor. To handle graphic calculations, this phone also uses an Adreno 306 graphic processing unit working at 450 megahertz. A good aspect of this phone is its quite large 8 GB internal storage memory and an external SD slot, allowing the user to store a couple hundred apps without worrying about space.

Samsung is offering this cellphone in white color. Samsung made a great optimization job making this phone weight only 5.5 oz. The Grand Prime is quite a compact cellphone, considering it presents a 5 inches screen and it only has 5.7" long and 2.84 inches wide. This cellphone is just 0.34" thick, making it one of the thinnest phones out there.

This cellphone includes a very good 960 x 540 5" screen, which makes all images and movies look great. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This cellphone includes wi-fi connection (which it can provide to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G internet connection, over HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a Micro SIM card for GSM connection.

The Grand Prime features two cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 5 MP front camera. It is also able to shoot videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. To complete the camera, it also features some good characteristics: auto-focus, flash, geo tagging and face detection shooting.

This cellphone also includes some useful characteristics as Bluetooth (4.0), GPS (Global Positioning System) and FM Radio, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime counts with a high capacity 2600 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours without charging it at all.

The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime costs around 160 dollars, which is somewhat expensive for comparing with similar cellphones. It doesn't matter whether you will use this cellphone for work, you love taking photographs, are looking for a phone majorly for internet broswing and social networks or need a device to play lots of games, this phone is a great choice .
