My First Android and The Best Too. Review on Samsung Galaxy Grand 2

I have been a Nokia loyal for years and started with models like 3110, 3115, 6600, X2, C2-02. I have also used Blackberry 9700 and 9810 for 3-4 years. After using these phones, I got a chance to switch to either Blackberry latest model or go for a Android phone.

I decided to take the 2nd option and Samsung was my obvious choice.

My Requirements

• Dual Sim

  
  




• Large screen for watching movies, videos, images.

  
  




• Handy to use and carry

  
  




• Smart phone with email, etc features for official use.

  
  




• Not light or not too heavy.

  
  




• FM radio

  
  




• Good camera.

  
  

I decided to go for Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 which satisfied all my above requirements.

My experience with both Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 and Android are extremely satisfactory.

Initial few days, I spend in understanding the Phone and Android features.

Here are what I feel are the Pros -

• The phone dimensions are just perfect to carry it everywhere.

  
  




• It's not a burden in the pocket or while holding in the hands.

  
  




• Dual SIM feature is helpful to guys like me where 1 Sim is personal and 2nd if official.

  
  




• You can switch between these 2 to make either of them as primary.

  
  




• Notification area is quite helpful in switching between modes.

  
  




• Touch screen is also nice and never face any problems.

  
  




• Never have to convert any movies to mp4 like iPod. Which is just great thing for movie buffs like me. I can just copy and watch it.

  
  




• The sound quality is excellent.

  
  




• Camera has lot of useful features and I was able to capture rare moments with my family, relatives at various occasions.

  
  




• The phone has a good internal storage space.

  
  

Cons -

• When the call ends, the screen doesn't come up quickly. It remains blank for a second or so and then comes to life.

  
  




• Creating contacts and then updating or editing is somewhat confusing.

  
  




• Even after power saving is ON, the phone remains hungry all the time and charging is required often.

  
  

My Recommendations -

I would recommend this model to those who has similar requirement as mine.

This is the best smart phone I have used so far compared to Blackberry.

I hope this review would help Mouthshut users. Please add your comments. Your feedback is welcome.
