Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 is the second-generation of the phone Samsung released last year as its large-screen Android device for the masses, the original Grand. The new Grand is not all that gigantic by today’s standards with its 5.25-inch display, but it’s still as affordable and well-connected with support for dual SIM connectivity.
It’s also gotten some huge upgrades practically all along the spec sheet: gone are the sub-par 480p display and the small battery - the Grand 2 is now leaner and meaner with a pleasingly sharp 720p screen, a larger battery, and a speedier quad-core Snapdragon 400 system chip.
The Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 features an 8-megapixel auto-focus camera with a single LED flash, as well as a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
The 8-megapixel main shooter captures 4:3 images and uses lens with an f/2.4 aperture. The camera app starts quickly, revealing an interface typical for Samsung, with shooting modes like Panorama, Night, and Sports, as well as plentiful manual settings including ISO and white balance adjustments(those, however, are a bit too deep in the menus, which makes quick adjustments a pain).
The Galaxy Grand 2 ships with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with Samsung’s usual TouchWiz skin on top. In our modern days of the KitKat sugary treat being the freshest offering from the Android cookery, it’s disappointing to see a dated version of Google’s operating system on board, but we remain hopeful that Samsung will update the phone to Android 4.4 in the near future.
The Galaxy Grand 2 gives you the choice of a Samsung-made custom Android-browser and Google Chrome for surfing the web. Both get the job done swiftly and efficiently. Samsung’s solution, however, offers an immersive full-screen mode that makes best use of space, while Google’s Chrome has its cross-device syncing capabilities and slightly better interface on its side. Scrolling around and zooming in and out is a relatively smooth process on both browsers, with only an occasional stutter.
