Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 apes Note 3 design, with mid-range specs

It lacks high-flying hardware, but this 5.25-inch smartphone could appeal to those shopping for a big-screen phone.

Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 review: Double vision

The Samsung Galaxy Grand was the big-screened Samsung phone for the masses last season - and one that conveniently offered an extra SIM slot. It didn't go as far as the Galaxy Mega pair, stopping instead at 5-inches sharp of screen diagonal. This year,...

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE; quad-band 3G with HSPA, LTE ; Optional dual-SIM ; 5.25" 16M-color 720p capacitive touchscreen; 280ppi ; Android OS v4.3 Jelly Bean with TouchWiz UI ; Quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, Adreno 305 GPU; Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon...

Only 5GB of inbuilt storage available to user out of box ; No KitKat at launch ; Overly reflective screen with poor sunlight legibility

Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 Review

The new Galaxy Grand 2 is a mid-range phone with a large (yet not gigantic) 5.25-inch display and a speedy for its class Snapdragon 400 chip…

Vivid 5.25-inch 720p display ; Snapdragon 400 is fast, Android runs with almost no lag ; 2600mAh battery will last you a full day (and probably more) ; 8-megapixel camera captures nice images, smooth video ; Expandable storage ; User-removable battery

Dated Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on board ; Latest TouchWiz is not included ; Limited amount of internal storage: 8GB, only 5GB user-available

All in all, the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 is a very substantial upgrade to the original Grand that improves it in practically every aspect. We are particularly fond of the now much sharper and better looking 5.25-inch display, but the improvement in...

Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 Review – A worthy successor

I really wanted to use a Galaxy branded smartphone as I wanted to know what is it that attracts so many buyers to go for a smartphone which goes on to look alike from the low-budget to the flagship, from the design point of view and with a plastic...

Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 Review

Released as an updated version of 2013's Galaxy Grand, Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 comes with some meaningful upgrades over its predecessor, which includes enhanced performance, larger screen and improved HD viewing experience.

Good camera ; Impressive battery life ; Dual-SIM ; HD display ; Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS ; Voice control & Multi window features ; Highly responsive touch screen

Lacks USB HOST function ; Inconsistent performance ; Reflective screen ; Poor sunlight visibility

Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 ran pretty smooth most of the times; though it suffered a bit from occasional stutter and lags out of blue. Sometimes navigating through different apps were lag free, while the other time I noticed it took even the phonebook 3 to...

Review: Samsung GALAXY Grand 2

Better than its predecessor, but not good enough to fend off the competition.

HD screen with great colour reproduction; Good camera; Long battery life.

Done to death design; Not ideal for single-handed usage; Inconsistant performance; Gaudy user interface.
