Samsung Announces 5-inch Galaxy Grand Smartphone
Sports dual-core 1.2 Ghz and runs on latest Jelly Bean version.
In what appears to be a repackaged Galaxy Note, Samsung has announced the Galaxy Grand smartphone, a device sporting a 5-inch WVGA screen and runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
The smartphone boasts a dual-core 1.2 Ghz processor, 1 GB RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera capable of 1080p video recording, accompanied by a front-facing 2-megapixel camera.
Samsung's Galaxy Grand offers 8 GB of internal memory with a microSD memory expansion slot, Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS functionality, as well as an accelerometer, compass and gyroscopic sensor. While it fails to deliver 4G LTE connectivity, the handset connects to high-speed HSPA+ networks.
It'll be sold in two variants -- the I9080 and I9082. The former offers single SIM service, while the latter is able to deliver dual-SIM functionality, subsequently allowing users to utilize two separate cell numbers from the same phone.
Also included is Direct Call, Popup Video, Smart Alert, and S-Voice, which is Samsung's answer to Apple's Siri voice-activated assistant.
The Galaxy Grand was announced with no release date or pricing details. That said, expect it to be showcased during CES in January.


Unless this is using a Cortex A-15 (Exynos 5) then I'm honestly not even remotely interested.
Not true as my Note 2 has better battery life than my S3 and I mean way better battery life. It has a quad core processor. Bigger phone bigger screen bigger battery. I can go almost two days without charging my phone and if I root it, then no telling how long the battery will go on.
That was meant for ocaton72.
had a dual sim support, no LTE, NFC..
It very good move from Samsung IMO...
