The Samsung Galaxy Grand is now official

Speculation about the arrival of Samsung Galaxy Grand They were already very insistent and, even, many of their specifications had been leaked on the Internet. Well, this model that has a 5-inch screen is already official, as indicated by the Korean company.

One of the most interesting details of this model is the aforementioned panel, since with its dimensions it includes it in the phablets product range and, therefore, it is a new bet in this market by Samsung. Aesthetically, this terminal is similar to Galaxy Note 2 ... but as regards the screen, which is LCD type, the quality is lower than this: its resolution is 800 x 480 with a pixel density of 187 dpi. Therefore, clearly inferior and it is not unreasonable to think that this is a device designed for those who are looking for a model with a large screen at a reduced price (which, by the way, it is not yet known what the terminal will cost).

Regarding the operating system, Samsung Galaxy Grand is perfectly up to date if you take into account the versions of Jelly Bean that the Korean company handles. In this case, it includes the version Android 4.1.2 with the corresponding TouchWiz user interface.

The hardware is solvent, but does not allow it to compete in the high-end

When it comes to the "guts" of this model, the set chosen by Samsung at first glance seems quite competent, but it is not necessary to compare it with the devices of the high range, since this does not seem its objective.

For example, your SoC is a dual-core component to 1,2 GHz, the specific model has not been provided, which will allow to work with solvency with the current applications and to handle the operating system. In addition, as support it has 1 GB of RAM, which to date has been shown to be more than enough to handle data when working on phones and also allows for smooth multitasking. When it comes to storage, this is 8 GB, which can be increased with the use of microSD cards up to 64 GB.

In the section on connectivity, it stands out that it has not been mentioned that it is compatible with NFC (nor the opposite, worse if it is not indicated from the beginning ...), but it does offer Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, DLNA, GPS + GLONASS and microUSB port. The usual, more or less. By the way, it supports HSDPA + and there will be a Dual SIM model.

Finally, its battery is 2.100 mAh and its 8 megapixel rear camera, which allows you to record in Full HD. Good specifications therefore for a model that has a thickness of 9,6 millimeters and a weight of 162 grams… And that it is an interesting option due to its large screen -if its price is adjusted-. One final detail: it does not have a stylus (S Pen), which is another difference between the Samsung Galaxy Grand and the Note 2.
