SG Grand 2 announced

[ankush28]

Samsung has announced the new Galaxy Grand 2 smartphone that features several improvements over its predecessor . To start off, it features a new design that is similar to the new Galaxy Note 3 with a stitching pattern around the faux leather back.
On the front is a new 5.25-inch LCD with a resolution of 1280x720, an improvement over the WVGA display on the previous model. On the inside, the Galaxy Grand 2 runs on a 1.2GHz quad core processor, 1.5GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage space with a microSD card slot. The battery has been upgraded and now has a capacity of 2,600mAh.
The larger display means the new model is slightly taller and wider than its predecessor. It still has a dual-SIM slot and the same 8 megapixel camera on the back. The Galaxy Grand 2 comes with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
The phone will be available primarily in white, with black and pink offered in select regions.
Nothing much improved, except screen IMO just more bloated with "S" apps
Price is not yet confirmed but it will be around 23k according to some sources.

So even a year old nexus 4 will be far better then this at low price (22k on Flipkart, snapdeal)...

to samsung: take a break, have a kit-kat!

^^+1...
they are releasing one device each 1-2 week(s) LOL
but why they are ignoring all other old phones which are capable of holding KitKat.

ha ha..imagine what if it uses MediaTek CPU inside

No mostly it will be powered by QualComm Cortex-A7

if They'll use mediateks then, I dont see any pros on the phone;
except the HUGE screen which many Indians love a lot

 

[coderunknown]

this is what the Original Grand should have been but then look at the weight. 163g for a plastic brick!!!

On a positive side, finally HD screen and a bigger battery. If priced at 20-22k (highly unlikely) this will sell well. Mega 5.8 was a big flop and S3 will be retiring soon so filling that gap with a sensible upgrade.

What's the deal?

If a MediaTek SoC has Cortex A15, it is exactly same as a Samsung SoC or nVidia SoC having Cortex A15. Just an example.

 

[NVIDIAGeek]

Hope it isn't a Broadcom SoC like the original one. Better off with MediaTek.

Nexus 4 (22k) will be there in Indian market for next 6 month for sure!!!
Then How galaxy grand 2 can survive here

its qualcomm

N4 already gone from US market. N4 production most likely have shifted to N5 so whatever stock is available here will be gone before 2014. Grand was really laggy and slow to respond mainly because of weak chipset + too much bloatware integrated into the system.
