Nice and easy but slow
By JOBINon
this phone is very hand to use..but no way to know which sim is making outgoing call if we r replying to a missed call.It worked superbly for mebut . after updates installed it became slow like dial up internet. So I did a Facory resore and that solved the problem but fear to update again.

Couldn't hear anything!
By Worst experienceon
Bought this phone in amazon.in. Worked fine for 2 weeks and suddenly not able to hear anything for a basic call. The speaker is gone!!Checked amazon for a return but couldn't return/replace because return/replacement policy is only for 10 days and the phone stopped working after 12 days.Went to the nearest samsung service center an they said speaker stock is not available and they will get in two days. It's been more than 2 weeks after that and they never received the stock.My phone is still in useless condition --running for service center daily to follow up .
Good phone....
By Jaideep Waliaon
Bought Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos on 13 Dec 2013 and opted for one day shipping.The phone was delivered to me on 14 Dec 2013. The phone was packed nicely with ample protection.I got all the items as were described. This phone has great specs, the only downside being a TFT display.I bought this phone for my wife and she is loving it. Now paired with 32GB class 10 memory card she can shoot as much videos she wants with out worrying about space crunch.Good phone

By Send original bill for my phonon
I have ordered samsung galaxy grand duos from amazon but they did not send original bill for the same....in the invoice also they did not mentioned the serial no and IMEI no in the invoice ....now my phone will not come under warranty unless they send both serial no and imei no....I have complained so many times, but still there is no response from amazon till now....if you can't send the original bill, then why you had written that it will come with original bill?? My phone will not be under warranty only due to your carelessness....send me the original bill

By Mukeshon
Very nice product, but bought at a little higher price.. it works great......... :) satisfied....Amazon is competitive. . .
Samsung failed to keep the device upto speed
By Abhinav G.on
I bought this device in Jan'13 (early adopter), it worked well till August end. After that some software updates from Samsung just killed this phone. Its battery was draining like anything, and phone was terribly slow to make any good use of, even simple day 2 day apps (not games). I tried full reset of device a few times, but no help. Finally sold the device with promise to self that samsung no more.

Great branded phone with value for money
By Ashwani Vermaon
Purchased this phone 2 days back from Flipkart. First of all I would really appreciate the services provided by Flipkart. I got the phone on COD and got the phone within 36 hours. Two of my other friends also ordered their phone from Flipkart and their experiences are also great. So, go for Flipkart.
Galaxy Grand is very nice. I think its value for money and that too when you get Flip cover and scratch guard free with the phone. Micromax is not giving the same with its products.
Second biggest thing is the software updates provided by Samsung. So, your phone will always be able to live up to the next generation and will not be a piece of brick. Moreover, the software customization offered by Samsung is not offered by any other brand.
People talk about poor screen resolution but you really don't feel the gap.
It is very hard to find a phone comparable to Grand in this price range.
Last but not the least, Metallic blue is better than White :)
Worst Phone Ever
By Abhishek Parmaron
I Take back my word. Please dont but Samsung Phones. They are absolutely useless and have a standard feature of constantly hanging, even after installing latest updates.

AWESOME PHONE
By Kartikesh Kelothon
Well after going through all the misleading posts that were put up earlier, there was dilemma of whether to buy this handset or not, but after i had in depth research from the net on this phone, i knew although the features of this phone may not be close to it's cheaper imposter but still on quality & looks i would give a thumbs up to Samsung. The name which i trust bcoz i owned almost 3 cellphones earlier and all were samsung pieces. so i had no doubt when it came to purchasing this one. My only disappointment was that the the Samsung co didn't provide a PC suite in the package box, we have to get it downloaded from net. and even ensure that it's compatible to our system. Apart from that i think this phone is certain must buy. For budget conscience people i would say. give a second thought before you opt for a cheap phone, because you have a samsung service center in the every lane & everycorner of every city, but not for the cheap jack. So think wisely before investing ur hard earned cash.
Looking for good dual SIM Phone? Go for Grand!
By Thomas Mathewon
I bought this phone couple of months back, I waited a bit to write a review on this product. The phone is is perfect for the ones who are looking for a dual sim phone with all the features of a smart phone. Phone gets a little slow at times, but it manageable. Big screen, decent clarity(please dont compare the phone to 40k models, if you want that clarity then better pay the money rather than complaining here).Pretty good battery back up.
Overall a very good phone and if you are looking for decent dual SIM phone, then better go for this.
GRAND Phone with Tablet Experience
By Him Ashon
Got my GRAND delivered on saturday 2nd Feb, was not expecting the delivery till end of this week, so was pleasantly surprised by Flipkart. I bought it on EMI, with no extra charges.
Had taken lot of time and comparisons before I finally made a decision to buy this phone for my wife. I had earlier booked Note II from Indiatimes but cancelled it as I didn't got the delivery on time and meanwhile GRAND launch was announced.
First Impression in Hand:
1. Looks pretty much like Note II, marginally smaller.
2. Screen / Display looks much sharper then my expectation (Though display is weak)
3. Profile is devoid of any edges, weight seemed appropriate for long use.
Advantages of GRAND:
1. 1.2 GHz Dual core + 1 GB is decent enough for most of popular gaming (Tried all versions of Angry Birds, Temple Run 2, Beach Buggy, email, FB, whatapp etc) and runs smooth with multiple applications running in parallel. There might be minor lag
2. Samsung software customizations, hardware sensors (I guess some 10+ sensors are inbuilt) do lot of magic for you and keeps you engaged (I read somewhere that features are same as Note II with trimmed hardware).
3. 5 Inch display is bright, gives you decent readeablility and mobility, I did not notice any pixelation of any form and viewing angles are ok.
4. Most IMP : Call Voice Quality very good and eliminates noice around, dialling and in call management is good.
5. Speaker output is loud, littlie bit on shrilly on high volume, Ear Phones are good but built quality is average.
6. Android JellyBeans is fast and moment you login with your GMail account you get instane access to all your content on Google Drive, Google+.
Cons:
1. Battery should have been better, Note II's 3100 Mh was the best fit. 2100 Mh drains in 4-5 hours with above average use in downloading, gaming, texting (Deducting 1 Star from the rating for same).
2. Flip Cover is looks fine but not a magnetic cover to switch off / on the display automatically when closed / open.
3. Price should have been around 17k or 18k max to compete with other lower brands and make it really pocketable (Financially :))
I would definitely recommed this phone, until someone has a tight budget, else should go for Micromax Canvas HD or Huawai Ascent.
Galaxy Grand
By Abhay Singhon
Hello Friends
I have purchased this mobile from online store other than flipkart.
I'm using this phone for last 12 days.
Apart from all other things I wanted to share some points here:
1. It is easy to choose any SIM for data use or for calling. ANY One SIM u can use as DUAL mode(3G/GSM) or GSM or 3G only. If one SIM is 3G then other SIM GSM(2G).
2. Wi-Fi Hotspot is very good working, USB tethering and Bluetooth tethering also working very fine.
3. Display is good, There is no issue on resolution.
4. camera quality is good.
5.No device heating on continuous use.
6. USB Charging, very low SAR(this value everybody should consider before buying any new mobile phone) value.
7. 5" display is very good for reading PDF or online web pages.
8. Video Zooming while playing video. U can view videos with other application running on with multi window function.
Few CONs in this product:
1. Battery is draining very quickly if u use dual SIM ON and use data upload or download(upto 5hrs).Continuous upload or download data drains battery very quickly. Otherwise in normal use it will run around 24 hrs.
Don't listen to false reviews, I am electronics engineer by profession and I have chosen this product after deep market research. I'm satisfied with this phone in this price range.
I suggest all decent users don't go for any Chinese assembled brands. Even U don't know the SAR value for those product.
A pretty good phone at 21K. DO NOT go by comments from people who have never seen or used this phone.
By Suresh Rameshon
Friends,
I got my Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos two days back. Here is what I have to say -
Purchase and delivery - I got mine via Flipkart. The phone was delivered in one day. Super!
Price - 21500. Note: I checked the price at shops in Hyderabad and Delhi and all of them quoted the same price. I think Samsung decided on a uniform price at launch time.
What I like:
- Good build quality. Feels good to hold and use. I would never compare Samsung to Micromax or other not-so-reputed brands. For me quality matters most and quality always comes at a price.
- A very decent 5 inch display. So what if its not as "HD" as a Note or a S3? Remember, what you pay is what you get, and at 21K, this is good enough. I shot a couple of pictures, zoomed in and the detail was pretty much maintained. Videos are not bad. I am sure you wont be ashamed to play a video to your friends. :)
- Processing speed is good. No noticeable lag when using e-mail, playing a video etc. I tried Temple Run in a Samsung shop and it ran fine. So I believe games run well too. But let me tell you that I have not tried any games on my phone so far. (I am not a game freak)
- The phone comes with a 2 back covers. One with the flip cover and one without. My phone is a Metallic Blue one and it came with a blue flip cover that looks beautiful. I am not too worried about fingerprints because all glossy surfaces attract fingerprints.
- Sound quality is decent (both phone and speaker). The box contains standard headphones with volume control. (3 extra silicone ear tips included)
What I dislike:
- This phone is a little too big and heavy. Mine was a quantum leap from a Nokia E63 to this one. Caution: Be prepared to carry the phone in your hands. You will be real uncomfortable trying to fit it into your denim's front pockets. ;)
- The battery drains out in a day or sooner (if you watch videos, use a lot of wi-fi, have apps that frequently sycn, push mail, always on data, etc).
Samsung Galaxy Granddd!!!!!!!
By Ravindragouda Patilon
Grand as the name suggests, its totally grand!!!
1. Haters gonna hate
2. If you are using canvas, karbonn, xolo, lolo etc etc, use it guys but don't come here and comment about grand. There is a separate section for that. You are wasting 10-15 k instead of adding another 6 k and buying grand. No point in buying mobile if you are connecting the charger and using it :P also no point in the number of cores if it still lags. Go for Nokia 1280. I bet its faster than any china embedded Desi phones
3. Screen is superb for daily normal usage(apps, games, hd movies etc). It would have drained the battery if it would have been amoled.
4. Except screen resolution it will beat S3 anytime. No lags. 9-10 k less. (Please keep national market brands aside)
5. Dual Sim, Battery comes for a day.
6. Looks similar to Note2. I bet some of your friends ask you "Oh!! note2"
7. Plays nova, dead trigger, most wanted, subway surf, temple run1,2,OZ without lags
8. Jelly bean has hell lots of features
9. Camera is good. Videos are too good.
10. 50 GB drop box space till 2015, flip cover, 2gb 3g internet from Vodafone for 2 months
11. Very easy to use(typing, messaging, mails etc for daily usage)
12. Touch wiz from Samsung has considered lots of details and added highly customizable features which makes usage faster
13. 1 gb ram is sufficient. Even after running 7-8 applications your ram will be free by 300 mb out of around 800 mb.
14. One day delivery and zero interest emi options from flipkart
15. Wat else do you want? Oh waiting for canvas or micromax to launch Octacore processor? Better take your desktop wherever you go.
16. Don't believe in reviews of some people who have written cr ap without using the phone. Either they are fancied by cheap dual cores, quad cores or they are jobless people who are being paid by MICROmax or karbonn companies(may be APPLE too :P haha) to sit and write cr appy reviews about Samsung
17. Nokia - If you are thinking only about camera, low light photography there are DSLR's for that.
18. Apple - If you want to compete with Samsung in East better keep in mind of prices
19. Blackberry - Who are you??
20. Sony - Xperia SL and ion are in this range(2-4 k more) but no jelly bean. Buy them if you are interested in Sony. But compare them with grand before buying.
21. Htc - Good but outdated mobiles in this price range.
22. Flipkart should give the new option to filter reviews based on certified buyers to save buyers from being misled by others
I am using Ipad2, Samsung omnia W and Grand and believe me stay far away from windows. Obviously No features = No lags in windows OS.
Use nexus4 theme and your android will be nexus. Use launcher8 app and your android will be windows. What else you want in android
Very very happy after buying the first phone from my salary. Just go for it.
The best budget phone in te market today
By Kannan Gon
I am writing this review after using it for almost 15 days. I already own Samsung Galaxy Nexus which sports a super amoled screen and good gpu. So i can do a genuine comparision especially with respect to display and graphics.
In a nutshell grand duos is worth every penny you spend. It belies the bad opinions about its display quality.
Strengths
Display:
Vivid and natural colours. Since the screen is not quoted, the colours are more natural and vibrant even in direct sunlight.
It is had a good quality LCD with very good viewing angles.
Pixelation is almost non-existant unless viewed at a ridiculously close range and that too after pinch zooming.
Browser experience with respect to display are as good as my nexus with very clear text readability.
HD games show up very well. For a strange reason characters in subway game are reversed. I think it is a gpu limitation. Absolutely no lag in games.
HD video playback is lag free and absolutely brilliant.
I have no grouch about display, it is simply top notch.
Cons: Probably GPU issues with some games, might get fixed in next update.
Speed:
With 1GB ram (around 200 taken by bootrom)....and about 300 taken for samsung preloaded apps and OS, about 500mb is avaialble to user which is sufficient for good browsing, gaming and general use.
Absolutely no lag whatsoever.
Cons: Sometime get an irritating pop up about insufficent memory but immediately goes away and does not affect in anyway. Hoping for a fix in the next update.
Sound:
Eventhough Jellybean has a inherent flaw with low sound reproduction, Samsung I think has fixed the issue here. Excellent in call volume, good speakers and good headphone volume. The Samsung music app is feature rich.
The bonus Samsung music download allows you to download latest songs and movies free for up to rs. 8000 which is really good. The song quality is excellent and download speeds are fast.
Cons: If you are an audio geek high end headphones are recommended.
Video: It is a real blast. Experience was really smooth. I think Samsung has put in all their experience with S2 and S3 and bridged it here. 5 star for video playback.
Camera:
As good as S2. Very good low light photography. HD video recording at 30 fps. What more do you need. Excellent feature rich camera controls.
Front camera is a treat too.
Cons: None
Connectivity:
No problems. No NFC, not a big deal for me. Bluetooth, wifi all use the latest technology.
Sensors: More than you could ask for at this range.
The biggest advantage is Samsung will support android updates for a long time.
Also very soon u will get a solution to root this phone. This will help you to move all apps to SD card, remove Samsung bloatware and further speed up the phone or if you are bold enough or adventurous install custom roms.
Final Opinion: It is a steal at its price point. You will enjoy atleast for 2 years before switching over to the next generation quad core phones which by that time will have enough apps supporting quad core.
