inch display.

HD videos. The secondary front camera of Galaxy Grand is 2MP one as against the VGA

gyro, proximity and compass. The list excludes barometer, but it’s fair for an entry-level 

phablet.

At last....

are around Rs 10,000 to 13,000. And the costs of phones are decreasing. Galaxy Grand will 

have to fight a big battle with low-cost phablets to conquer the market.
