Initial Impressions

We managed to grab a box of the Galaxy Grand pre-sale and pre release and we decided to do an unboxing.

This has to be a world first, as well as a first for iGyaan. We managed to grab a box of the Galaxy Grand pre-sale and pre release and we decided to do an unboxing. The box of the Galaxy Grand Duos in India has the device, a charger, handsfree, USB cable and documentation along with the 2100 mAh battery pack. The final retail box will also have the flip cover and bundled downloads, along with 50 GB of Dropbox for your account.

Box

At first the Galaxy Grand looks like a fuse between the S3 and the Note 2, however it has features of neither (except the looks). The Samsung Galaxy Grand is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, it has 1 Gb of RAM and 8GB internal storage . The Grand also belongs to the DUOS series since it a dual sim phone and fared quite well in our benchmarks video. The front of the device has a 5 inch 480×800 px display which surprisingly is very clear and vivid with good outdoor visibility. The phone also has multi window which we demonstrated in our video.

On the back, the Samsung Galaxy Grand features an 8 megapixel primary camera with LED flash. The build quality of the phone is also standard Samsung style, so plastics all round, keeping manufacturing costs low for the device. Samsung Galaxy Grand comes with Jelly Bean and Touch Wiz designed for Jelly Bean. So Samsung though it fair enough to stuff the phone with features like “direct call” and “popup video” from the Galaxy S3 and Note 2.
