The Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 has been officially launched in India. The smartphone is an upgraded version of the popular Samsung Galaxy Grand and will be available in Jan 2014. The pricing details have not yet been revealed but is expected to be priced slightly higher than the Grand model but well under Rs. 25,000.
The Samsung Galaxy Grand was a huge success. Taking a step further Samsung has upgraded the Grand and have called it the Grand 2. It looks almost similar to the Galaxy Note 3. Recently Samsung had also launched the Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2.
The Galaxy Grand 2 comes with better hardware as compared to its predecessor the Galaxy Grand. This new handset comes with bigger screen of 5.25 inches supporting 1280×720 pixels resolution. It is better than the Grand that came with 5 inch screen supporting 800×480 pixels resolution.
Grand 2 is powered by 1.2GHz quad core that runs on Android 4.3 with 1.5GB RAM and 8Gigs of internal storage. 64GB micro SD card is also supported. The handset houses an 8MP camera on the rear with LED flash. It can record videos in 1080p resolution. The front camera is of 2MP (1.9MP) resolution.
Key features are 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. This dual SIM handset comes with 2600 mAh battery with talk time of up to 17 hours. The Grand (when released) was priced at Rs. 21K but is now available for Rs. 17,000. If you compare both these handsets you will agree that the Grand 2 is more powerful. Estimated price could be around 23,500.
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.
Is xperia Zr betr than this one?
Also wat abt s3?
Sir can u tel me which one is better Xperia Zr or nexus 4 or s3 or s4 mini or grand? im really confused..
GRAND 2 not grand
Xperia ZL is better in all aspect., ZL and ZR is of same price so with ZL….
nexus 5 is much better
Going to buy this phone now, hope it will be available on Flipkart earlier next year.
The Grand 2 is powered by a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8226 mobile processor paired with Android 305 GPU
Hi Gogi,
I did some research and found processor is Broadocm BCM23550 quad core 1.2 Ghz similar processor used in xolo q1000 opus.
Its a qualcomm chipset.
sir,
i think THE RAM IS 1.5 GB while the PROCESSOR IS 1.2 GHz.
Gogi, is it not 1.5 GB RAM and not 1.25. And it should be the Snapdragon S400 I guess.
isnt the processor speed 1.2 Ghz and RAM 1.5 Gb
Yes updated, thanks.
Canvas a114 or galaxy core dous
main concerns are gud processor hd playback and camera
CANVAS BETTER THAN GALAXY CORE
galaxy core duos can’t even play 720p videos lol 😀
Samsung Launches its another galaxy series smart device called the Galaxy Grand 2. Wanna know its full phone specifications visit here – http://goo.gl/gAQZlU
its a 1.2 gig s400 processor bro see the hands on video of fonearena
Phonearena confirm that Chipset is Qualcomm.they say qualcomm stricker present on grand 2.but which soc is use,Not known
Gogi do some corrections in specifications:
1.2GHz processor (not 1.5GHz)
1.5GB RAM (not 1.25GB)
1.9MP Secondary Camera (not exactly 2MP)
Thanks updated.
Better wait for Gionee Elife E7.It’s specs are far better than Grand 2 and it will be priced under 25000.
Sorry brother. Elife E7 houses a snapdragon 800 processor. Don’t expect it to be under 32K bucks.
e7 launched Already. @27k for 2gb ram-16gb rom and 30k for 3gb ram/32gb rom
Off topic:
Guys pls suggest. Does it require to put screen guard on nexus 7 2013 since it got gorilla glass protection???
Dear gogi,
It is powered by 1.2 GHz quad core not 1.5 GHz as u mentioned
and the RAM is 1.5 GB not 1.25 GB
gogi which phone or tab to buy under 15000/ plzzz tell i m super confused.
Nexus 4 is a better option if the price will be higher then 23000/- ..samsung making use of the goodwill in d market .overprice its production cost should be around 15000 or less.
Go for S3 . Forget this crap.
Gogi s3 or grand 2?
Pls tell me
Better wait for the official price.
Official MRP is around 24000/- and will be available around 23000
One could get a Nexus 5 in around that price range I guess ??
S3 is always better… its got hd super amoled display… exynos quad core processor… which is better than.. that on grand 2 … n plus u will get better android updates.. maybe kitkat also.. grand 2 likely to be updated as its not a flagship device… price will be same as s3 is also available at 23k…
I agree thanks
Sorry, but, S400 is better than Exynos on the S3. Sure, AMOLED Display is a good thing about that phone. But you get 1.5 GB RAM with Grand 2, plus, since S3 is 1 year old already, it’ll stop getting updates soon. I’m suspecting only till Android 4.4 KitKat. Think twice! 🙂
hey gogi.. its confirmed. it has 1.2 GHz qualcommm snapdragon 400 chipset. and ram is 1.5 gb instead of 1.25gb u have mentioned
thanks

AKASH PANCHAL
gogi bro, is it qualcomm snapdragon or other ?
where will we purchase it in retail market?
The chipset is not known yet (most probably it will be Qualcomm). Once available it will be listed on the Samsung estore website and other online stores.
the chipset is Qualcomm snapdragon 400 1.2ghz quad core with adreno 305 gpu
benchmarks:-)
quadrant-8500
antutu-19000
it has broadcom processor and videocore iv gpu
it is qualcom A7 told by samsung official m. sharma during grand 2 launch.
This chipset is Qualcomm.. I’ve a image.how should i post???
Its Qualcomm chipset 200 .. same as that on grand quattro…
Price should be under or at d most 20k ..
the chipset is broadcom.. the same one that was used by XOLO
Its surely not S200, it should be the S400. S200 can’t even handle HD displays.
The chipset is Snapdragon 400.. ( same as that in Moto G)…
But see the difference in pricing guys…. its almost double than that of moto g in terms of usd….
Shame sung..
