Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Grand smartphone on Tuesday, which runs the Android 4.1.2 “Jelly Bean” mobile operating system and sports a 5-inch WVGA display. The smartphone also features a powerful dual-core 1.2GHz processor, along with 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera offering 1080p video recording and a 2-megapixel front camera. It also includes 8GB of internal memory with a microSD memory expansion slot, Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS functionality, and the usual perks, such as an accelerometer, compass, and gyroscopic sensor. The Galaxy Grand also connects to high-speed HSPA+ networks, but falls short of offering 4G LTE connectivity. The Korean smartphone giant said the smartphone will be sold in two variants: the I9080, which offers single SIM service, while the I9082 will offer dual-SIM functionality, allowing users to use two separate cell numbers from the same device, such as work and personal numbers.
