Detailed Review

Design:
The Samsung Galaxy Grand is a best Dual Sim phone among all others in this category and price range. It’s fast, slim and solid and most importantly it appears same as Samsung Galaxy S III Mini and is even considered as the smaller version of Samsung Galaxy S III. It has a 5 inch screen size with TFT capacitive touchscreen. Grand sizes 143.5 mm, 76.8 mm and 9.6 mm dimensions in height, width and depth, which is simply superb with dual sim functionality. It weights 161 gm. and the all plastic body is well fitted in the device

Below the screen is a physical home key along with back and menu touch keys. And on the bottom of the phone has a USB/charging connector with a mouthpiece alongside it. On the top of the device is a 3.5 mm earjack whereas, the left side gives you volume controls and lanyard eyelet. The right side holds the lock/power key and microSD card slot, but, there is no dedicated camera key on the phone. Above the screen is a front facing camera with light sensors and earpiece. The overall construction of the Galaxy Grand is great and it’s handy too.
Interface/OS:
Samsung Galaxy Grand primarily runs on Google Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, which has done full justice with the device and to its buyers. The galaxy grand supports the same TouchWiz user interface that is available in other Samsung smartphones too. The phone is power packed with 1.2 GHz cortex A-9 Broadcom video core IV processor. When tested, the browsing on this interface with power packed processor and RAM, it was a better experience. The speed was good when on 3G and multitasking to swapping applications was smoother.
Battery:
For everlasting experience, the Galaxy Grand comes with a standard Li-Ion 2100 mAh battery which goes well with the device. When tested, battery performed excellent results on 2G and above average on 3G. The stand by time delivered was up to 440 hours on 2G and up to 350 hours when on 3G whereas, the talk time was up to 10 hours on 2G and up to 7 hours on 3G. So, we can say that Samsung galaxy Grand ensures you good battery results.



Camera:
Galaxy Grand comes with tremendous 8 megapixels CMOS camera with auto focus and LED flash and it also has a 2 megapixels CMOS front facing camera. The camera quality of Samsung Galaxy Grand is great. When tested, the outdoor images captured were rich and clearer in colours and the camera worked quickly and hardly took a second to be ready for next image. The Galaxy Grand camera supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, WBMP, BMP and AGIF image type. The indoor shoots were even good. The Galaxy Grand camera has a 3264 x 2448 image resolution. The images from front camera were average. The weak point of this phone is its display of only 480 x 800 pixels on 5 inches screen. The camera also features Geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection and image stabilization.
Memory:
The Samsung Galaxy Grand comes with in built memory of 8 GB. The memory can further be extended to 64 GB using a micro SD card. The phone supports 1 GB RAM, that helps multitasking and swapping applications smoother and easier.
Audio/Video:
The Samsung Galaxy Grand has not compromised with its voice/sound quality. The sound quality when tested was good with headphones and even when on speaker mode. The Touch Wiz music player is multi functional, the sound enhancing DNSe technology and 5.1 channel virtualization gives you better music output. Samsung Galaxy GRAND supports AAC, AAC+, AMR, AMR-NB, eAAC+, IMY, MIDI, MP3, OGG, WAV and WMA audio formats. Like other galaxy phone, Galaxy GRAND also has a Stereo FM radio with RDS. The video quality of this phone is wonderful. It features 1080 pixels full HD recording and playback at 30 frames per second. The video call quality from its 2 megapixels front facing camera is good but the sound quality drops down if you hold it at a hand’s distance. It supports MPEG4, H.264, H.263 video formats. When tested, the video captured from the camera was really in superior quality and gave 1080 pixels resolution at 30 frames per second.



Features:
Dual SIM service of this phone allows you to receive calls while you are connected to the internet or even if you are already talking on the phone on the other SIM card. The Samsung Galaxy Grand is pre loaded with SNS integration. The Social Hub includes all major social sites like, Facebook, twitter, You Tube, Linked In and many more. Wi-Fi direct, NFC, Voice Calling and All Share are also featured in this power packed phone. The device is currently available in black and white colour.
Conclusion:
The Samsung Galaxy Grand is certainly the best phone in this price range and segment. It offers long list of in-built features/applications that exist in all latest Android phones. The big 4 inch screen and TFT capacitive touchscreen is amazing and offers great display. The powerful RAM and processor gives hassle free browsing experience. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Grand is a good phone in almost all aspects but lacking on some small fronts such as no dedicated camera key and low screen resolution can be a reason to avoid for many.
We give this phone four star rating.

Samsung launches biggest Galaxy phones in India
First impression
Galaxy Mega 5.8 and Galaxy Mega 6.3 are big devices. But what is likely to strike a user about them is that they are still quite compact and accessible. Galaxy Mega 5.8 is especially compact when compared to most of the large screen devices from local vendors like Spice and Micromax.

In terms of size, Samsung claims that both devices are pocketable. But after checking them out we are no so sure. Both devices are too big to be carried in jeans pockets. Mega 6.3 is especially big, though it should appeal to people who have to carry a 7-inch tablet and find it too big.

The design of both devices follow the pattern set by Galaxy S4. This means, both devices are a bit squarer than Galaxy Grand or Galaxy Note II. As it is usual for a Samsung smartphone, the devices are constructed using the glossy plastic. The back covers, which have a fine-diamond pattern first seen on Galaxy S4, can be removed. However, despite plastic, the devices have been built very well and finishing appears top notch.

Mega 5.8 uses a TFT screen. It shows good and punchy colours, however, the resolution looks a tad low, especially compared to smartphones with 720P screens.

Mega 6.8 uses a super LCD screen. In terms of showing colours, the screen is good but the text and images don't look as sharp as they do on a device like Galaxy Note II.

Both devices run Android 4.2 customized with Touchwiz interface. While using the device we found the devices to have smooth and lag-free navigations. However, pinch and zoom on heavy web pages or multitasking tend to feel a little slower compared to the performance on devices like Galaxy S4 or Galaxy Note II.

Android “Fairphone” looks to give power back to customers

The “Fairphone,” a phone that purports to approach smartphone design in the most ethical way possible from every conceivable angle, opened for preorders last Friday. The phone uses only conflict-free resources wherever possible, it has an open design, and it is marketed in a transparent way to customers.

The way many gadgets are made—smartphones and tablets especially—has been called into question by several investigations into supply chains and sources, in particular those of Apple and its Foxconn factories. According to a New York Times report last year, suppliers put out phones hand-assembled by allegedly underage, often underpaid workers operating in unsafe conditions.

The company making the Fairphone purports to be ultra-transparent about its material sourcing and manufacturing process, getting conflict-free materials wherever possible and highlighting unfair practices with a view toward changing them. The phone will feature a Mediatek 6589 quad-core CPU, 4.3-inch qHD display, 8-megapixel camera, 16GB storage, dual-band SIM (GSM850/900/1800/1900MHZ, WCDMA 900/2100MHz), user-replaceable battery, and microSD card slot. It will run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with a “special interface developed by Kwame Corporation,” which the company notes is “also open.”

While we are a bit skeptical that a small company looking to assemble and ship 5,000 phones will be able to have much impact on the gargantuan gadget supply chains in place, the desire to give users as much control over hardware and software as possible is something to be welcomed. The phone will initially be available only in Europe, priced at a flat €325 ($418). Production will begin once 5,000 preorders are in place, with shipments to begin in the fall.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Rumored Specs, Release Date, Price Point

Following the unexpected success of the Note, Samsung continued the onslaught with the Note II, launching a huge marketing campaign which allowed them to create an ever broader user base. The phone exceeded all expectations and Samsung found themselves with a second hit series, next to their popular Galaxy S devices. In all likelihood, the Galaxy Note 3 will be a step up from the newly released Galaxy S4, which featured a 1080p display and Qualcomm quad-core processor in North America.
Memory
Again, the Korean version of the Galaxy S4 had 3 GB RAM compared to the U.S. 2 GB, and it is not far-fetched to think that Galaxy Note 3 will have same or better.
Storage
It is hard to say what Samsung are going to decide with the Note 3, but it is our guess that this time they are stepping up the internal storage capacity to 32 GB in the U.S. as well, as apps and media content in general are starting to require larger storage space from devices.
Features
Apart from its size, the other major thing that sets the Galaxy Note apart from the Galaxy S series is the S-Pen, Samsung's word for stylus. Although the Galaxy S4 received many of the capabilities of the Note 2 that had previously required a stylus, we guess that Samsung's investment in S-Pen apps will not be thrown out the window, but rather expanded upon to increase productivity in the Note 3.
Release Date
To be announced, but for what it is worth, analysts say the most likely is a release around the same time as the iPhone 5S this year. The carriers that will sell the device are reasonably the top 5, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular.
Price
Price will again be slightly higher than the Galaxy S series
