Good move by Samsung but the Pricing is still too high…. If they can slot it for around rs 20000-22000 it would be a good deal and can provide stiff competition to indian companies like Micromax , Karbonn , Xolo as well as Gionee and Lenovo…..

I have been a technical analyst for electronic gadget and found Grand 2 is not a good phone.the processor used would slow down in few months.money is precious so think before investment.

Gogi, is it not 1.5 GB RAM and not 1.25. And it should be the Snapdragon S400 I guess.
