Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime

82% Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
Inexpensive Prime? Inexpensive smartphones are getting more popular in wealthy industrial countries and it does not always have to be a premium device. The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime is supposed to attract customers that spend less than 200 Euros (~$214) but still want LTE. Our review shows if and where the device makes compromises.

Frankly, even with its on and off contract prices of $30 and $240, respectively, it’s hard to recommend picking this up knowing there are several other phones similarly priced that generate better performances and results – not to mention better looking too! On the Android side, you’ll want to look into phones like the Asus Zenfone 2, which is significantly superior in many departments over this. And over on the Windows Phone side, it might be a good idea to check out the Microsoft Lumia 640, which undercuts this with its MSRP of $130.

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime review: Mirror shot

We won't pretend that we completely understand the enormous popularity of low-res, large-screened phones like the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. We can see why people would want more screen real estate, but it's the trade-off of a cheaper matrix for better components elsewhere (like the camera) that doesn't sit well with us.

Comment

Model: The Samsung Galaxy Prime is slim dual SIM smartphone with a good price performance ratio and looks good. The design is kept similar to all of Samsung's current smartphone models with the familiar button layout. The Galaxy Grand looks elegant with its rounded edges and silver bezel and it is available in two colors; white or grey. The 5 inch qHD TFT display features decent contrast and colors. There is plenty real estate for users looking for a portable media device.

The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime ships with the Android 4.4 KitKat and packs in a Cortex-A53 quad core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, 1 GB RAM and 8 GB storage space. The storage space can be expanded using a microSD of up to 64 GB, which is definitely a must for users looking to store multimedia content.

There is an 8 mega-pixel rear-facing autofocus camera and a secondary front-facing 5 mega-pixel camera, which ensures good video telecommunications and satisfies the selfie trend. Other features include Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS and an FM Radio. Battery life is a plus point for the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime with its 2600 mAh battery delivering up to 7 hours of continuous music playback time making it an ideal multimedia device.

73%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
