Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos GT I9082 review price specs in India
The latest Samsung Phone to hit the
market is Galaxy Grand Duos I9082, a dual-SIM smartphone. This new
Samsung Android phone is sure to give the competitors some Goosebumps.
Touted as a tough contender for Nokia Lumia 820 and HTC Desire SV, Samsung Grand comes as a high-end smartphone from a top-tier mobile maker. The phone cost INR 21,500 in India.
Though there are still some smartphones
under 15K, but with crippled multimedia functions and dated spec sheet,
so the market for same seems to be open for this newly launched Samsung
mobile phone. We did like the Grand when it was launched and now it’s
time to uncover what actually it is capable of.
Design and Looks
It will not be wrong to call Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos
a clone of Note II. Not only we, everyone is talking about it to be a
perfect look-alike of Samsung Note with finishing and design similar to
Samsung Galaxy S III. This new phone measures around 76.8 x 143.5 x
9.6mm in dimensions, making it quite slim, sleek and thin. Also, its 161
grams weight makes it quite light compared to other Android mobile
phones in the same price segment.
Grand is a pure mix of premium plastic,
which is quite sturdy and gives handset a solid feel. Further, the front
display has been made using glass with no sign on Corning Gorilla
Glass; that is now quite disappointment for a high-end Android phone.
Its rear panel comes with mosaic-like pattern but is prone to scratches
if not used carefully.
On the other hand, the thin bezel
surrounds the phone, though it is also made using plastic with metal
coating resemblance. The front comprises hardware home button at the
bottom with a 2MP front camera at the right along with
all the sensors lined up next to it. Overall, Grand is a perfect
reminiscent of S III and Note II in terms of design and built.
Performance
Samsung Grand comes with dual-core 1.2 GHz processor
and includes 1GB RAM. Further, it is available with Broadcom GPU, which
makes this phone compatible with most of the HD games and eases the
multitasking to a great extent. The handset houses 8GB internal storage
and supports microSD card up to 64GB.
Its 5.0 inches capacitive touchscreen
with 480 x 800 pixels resolution makes Grand talk of the town. A bit
smaller to Note II, this new handset comes with highly responsive
multi-touch TouchWiz UI. Also, the phone has been integrated with 8MP camera,
capable of snapping high resolution and clear pictures with excellent
HD video recording. Features like LED Flash, touch-focus, auto-focus and
image stabilization makes Grand’s camera quite worth.

A dual-SIM high-end smartphone, which is
quite affordable for mid-income consumers, Samsung Galaxy Grand comes
as a good deal for those who love Note II and S III. The phone comes

Li-Ion 2100 mAh battery to power the handset that offers talk time up
