The Samsung Galaxy Grand price and release date in India are out in the open only a day after news of it heading to Europe floated ashore. The good news is that the handset may be paving its way into the nation this month itself, unfortunately its retail value stands to be more than anticipated.
As seen in the picture, the Galaxy Grand encases a 5-inch display within dimensions of 143.5mm x 76.9mm x 9.6mm. The TFT LCD screen puts forth visuals in 480 x 800 pixels. Placed under the panel is a 1.2GHz processor which is dual core. Android users should take note that the handset includes the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean OS as seen in many devices in recent times.
Not only does the device look like the Galaxy S3, but also carries an 8MP camera on its flip side, just like the flagship smartphone. The snapper features auto focus as well as zero shutter lag. What comes across as a speck on the front panel is actually a 2MP webcam which has been placed to facilitate video conferencing.
The phone comes with an internal storage space of 8GB and furthermore provides a microSD card slot for expansion of up to 64GB. In addition to this, 1GB of RAM has been included to share the workload of the CPU. A 2,100mAh battery keeps the device up and about between charges, while the standby as well as talk time has been left for the users to decipher.
The price for the Samsung Galaxy Grand in India hasn’t gone official, but a post on IBNLive reports that it will most likely be pegged below Rs. 25,000. Even the launch date hasn’t received a confirmed word and the device is speculated to arrive on January 17. People should expect it in single SIM and dual SIM versions, with the latter edition shipping in first.
