Samsung loves their Galaxy line and they’ve just added another one called the Galaxy Grand. Running the latest iteration of the TouchWiz UI which includes all the usual Touchwiz enhancements such as: S Voice, Multi-Window, AllShare Play, Direct Call, Smart Alert, Popup Play and Software, Social and Music Hubs.
The Grand comes with a 5″ screen that sports a very underwhelming resolution of 480×800 pixel, making this screen best suited to someone who needs larger icons. The rest of the specs are decidedly mid-range but the true test will be where the price will be, at a low to mid-range price point on a plan this could be an Ok option for people on a budget.
