It looks like Samsung has stuck to their promise of the sub-Rs 25,000 pricing for the Grand 2. The phone is officially priced at Rs 24,890 but you can find it in most stores for a little less. The Grand 2 enters a very competitive price segment, where we already have the **Lenovo Vibe X** and the **Nokia Lumia 1320** . Without further ado, here’s a quick unboxing video of the phone followed by a quick look at the interface and some of its features. The Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 features a 16:9 720p display with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels. It comes with support for Samsung’s Multi Window feature that allows multitasking on the device’s large screen. The internals have also been beefed up as the Galaxy Grand 2 is powered by a Qualcomm chipset (most likely the Snapdragon 400) with a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz and there’s a healthy 1.5GB of RAM on board, that should ideally deliver a smooth and lagfree experience. It runs on Android 4.3, and there is no word on whether it will get Android KitKat. Here’s a quick look at its key specifications: - 5.25-inch HD display with 1280×720 pixel of resolution - 3G, Wi-Fi - Bluetooth, GPS with GLONASS - 8 megapixel rear camera with auto-focus and LED flash, 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera - 8GB onboard storage, expandable upto 64GB via microSd card slot It measures 146.8 x 75.3 x 8.9 mm, and tips the scale at 163 grams. All of this is fuelled by a 2,600mAh battery that Samsung says is good enough for up to 10 hours of playback and 17 hours of talk time. Continuing the Galaxy legacy, the Grand 2 comes with some smart features that continue such as the Story Album to organize pictures, an S Translator app, a Samsung Hub, S Travel, Samsung Link and more.
