Samsung India launching Galaxy Grand phablet today - Times of India

NEW DELHI: Samsung India is set to launch Galaxy Grand today, bringing another phablet to the market just a day after Micromax announced its Canvas HD with 5-inch screen. The company is hosting a live webcast on its Facebook page and a contest on the internet to promote the device. The all-new Galaxy Grand has a 5-inch WVGA TFT screen and is powered by Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). This smartphone runs on a dual-cor e processor clocked at 1.2GHz and has 1GB RAM. Samsung has continued with the design language it introduced in the Galaxy S III in this smartphone as well. At the back, the smartphone has an 8MP camera with LED flash, while there is a 2MP snapper on the front. Available only in an 8GB variant, the device's memory capacity can be raised up to 64GB via microSD card. Running on a 2,100mAh battery, the Galaxy Grand has connectivity features like 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, S Voice and microUSB. Other features of the device include Direct Call, Smart Alert, Popup Video and AllShare Play. Galaxy Grand Duos shares all the specifications and features but has two slots for sim-cards. The post on Samsung's blog said, "It is possible to receive calls on one sim number while taking a call from the other, ensuring efficient management of personal and work commitments without ever missing a call." It is not yet known whether Samsung will launch the single-sim or dual-s im version of the smartphone in the country. This will be the third phablet launched in India by Samsung, after Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note II. The company is yet to launch previously announced devices like Galaxy S III Mini and Galaxy Premier in India. Micromax recently claimed that it has shipped more phablets than Samsung in the country. At the unveiling of Canvas HD, the indigenous manufacturer said it shipped 1.98 lakh phablets, while Samsung imported 1.89 lakh units of its Galaxy Note and Note II tablets. via Technology - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNHc3LHlPHGYdN1-4aE1WRSOmPPIiA&url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/personal-tech/gadgets-special/Samsung-India-launching-Galaxy-Grand-phablet-today/articleshow/18128394.cms
