Samsung Galaxy Grand launching in India tomorrow
Samsung India has confirmed it will be launching the Galaxy Grand in India tomorrow. The company is hosting a press event in Mumbai tomorrow to unveil the ‘Newest Galaxy’. However, its official Twitter handle has just posted readers to be ready for the ‘Grand’ launch along with a link from where participants can win a Galaxy Grand. So much for creating suspense.
The Galaxy Grand was announced globally last month as a budget phablet and sports a 5-inch WVGA display, a 8-megapixel rear and 2-megapixel front cameras. It will run on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor. It comes with 1GB RAM, 8GB internal user memory and a microSD card slot. Samsung also has a dual-SIM version of the Galaxy Grand but we are not sure whether it will launch that tomorrow or not.
It will be interesting how Samsung prices the Galaxy Grand considering Micromax today launched the Canvas HD that comes with a quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, 8-megapixel camera, 5-inch 720p display and similar specs to the Galaxy Grand. It too runs on Android 4.1.2 but will be priced below Rs 15,000 once it hits shelves in the first week of February. Micromax also claims it has overtaken Samsung as India’s number one phablet seller in the third quarter of 2012 when it imported more phablets than any other company.

Hello Rajat, I have seen your blog article yesterday when I was searching exact Specifications of Galaxy Grand. After visiting your blog article, I have created one document about the HOT Topic. Thanks for your guidelines. Personally I like the device. I have Samsung S3, but I think this handset will make a history in the world of Android. In the recent times, I personally like Micromax Canvas2 and this newly launched Galaxy Grand. Thanks for sharing mate. Keep it up.
