Today, Samsung announced the Galaxy Grand Android smartphone. Judging by the handset’s moniker, one would certainly expect an impressive device, however, the spec sheet reveals otherwise. The Galaxy Grand boasts a huge 5-inch LCD display, but it’s only of WVGA (480×800) resolution, unfortunately. That’s well below the qHD, HD and FHD resolution screens that we’ve seen populate the smartphone market over the past two years. The phone’s other mid-range features include a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, an 8 megapixel rear camera, a 2MP front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, and a 2,100mAh battery. The good news is that it runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and supports popular TouchWiz features like Multi Window view for multitasking, Direct Call, Smart Alert, Popup Video, S Voice and AllShare Play – much like the flagship Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II devices. The Galaxy Grand will be available in select markets in two models, a Dual SIM version (GT-I9082) and single SIM version (GT-I9080). The former enables users to manage two phone numbers from a single device.
