Samsung Galaxy Grand 2: Review of a major new midrange

This time it’s the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2, a mobile phone aimed at the midrange, but, as we shall see throughout the analysis, has the air of top end.


We made presentations, and we with our particular analysis of Samsung Galaxy Grand 2!

First Impressions


As a good member of the huge family Samsung Galaxy, this Smartphone follows the general lines in appearance, so at first glance it can easily be confused with other devices, and we can even say that this is a cross between the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3.


Of course, the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 is a large terminal, but has not too excessive measures. Addition, touching the back, with a plastic worked the same way in that phablet, gets offer a comfortable feel, along with a look much more premium than the simple plastic.


Design


At the top we see a front speaker, and next to it, different light and proximity sensors as well as the secondary camera. Under all this will show the name of the company, and if we look and see at the bottom to keep the custom, the physical button so characteristic of the brand.


Behind, in addition to this imitation leather throughout the cover -which of course can be removed, we have the 8 mega pixel camera with the LED flash and the speaker, not to mention the Samsung recorded. If we focus on the songs, next we will see the volume control, and another button power. On the top edge is the connector jack 3.5 mm, and the lower the Micro-USB.


The Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 maintains a design well liken the high end of the company, something that helps a lot with all that metallic look finish around it.


Screen


Despite what we might expect, this Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 does not have the technology Super Amoled the Korean company that takes pride in most of their equipment, at least midrange up. Anyway, this is a TFT panel that has left a good impression, with perhaps more saturated, vivid colors and a proper HD resolution that gives about 280 ppi its 5.2 inches.


Good feelings, but we can say that the point at which further weakens the display is outdoors, and it’s true that with very direct light it costs a bit more than usual to see it without problems.


Battery


Generous 2600 mAh, autonomy seems above average, which is that, although it seems that manufacturers are slowly taking steps in the matter, yet few would choose such caliber capabilities and less on the range in which we find ourselves.


Thus, the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 should be able to hold the whole day without problems and without having to cut off too when using it. In this sense the HD resolution also plays a positive role, and is Full HD panels were subtracted enough battery life.


Camera


One of the sections in which companies often cut before is in the photo, and this time would be less. So, the phone will give us an acceptable quality, but of course not surprising. Regarding software, we will have different options available as Beauty face or HDR, but here they have forgotten to implement Dual camera, an interesting feature that allows us to launch photos with both cameras at the same time, which is present for example in the Samsung Galaxy S4. There would have been more to compensate in this field. Picture taken with the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2Built Photography taken with the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2


Performance


With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 consists of a main processor 4-core Cortex-A7, the overall team performance is acceptable. Moreover, Adreno 305 GPU performs well, and we even worth to play major titles with graphic loads, and 1.5 GB on that help maintain a good balance and flow system rests.


The apps that we can use more or less daily way browsers internet, feeds of news or Google Mpas, the performance achieved is more than enough, no hint of lag or excessive load times.


Operating System


Android 4.3 Jelly Bean is version Samsung Touch Wiz moving charge, the personalization layer quintessential South Korean company. This Smartphone has many of the capabilities of software of his brothers, such as dual screen multitasking, something to be enjoyed thanks to the wide screen, but obviously it is still better in inches.


Regarding your smart Samsung screen, but has recovered Smart stay, which is turned off when we fail to meet it, and of course, has plenty of apps in the house as S Translator, S Voice, Group Play and much more. This time is also included FM Radio, which no doubt many users will be considering.
