Samsung to unveil Galaxy Grand

MANILA, Philippines - Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp. (SEPCO) is unveiling its most premium dual-SIM smartphone this month.

The Samsung Galaxy Grand is an ideal dual-SIM smartphone that integrates the benefits of having a dual SIM with the innovative features of a premium smartphone without compromising on quality.

This latest addition to the Samsung smartphone range is perfect for users with fast-paced mobile lifestyles who demand more from their phone.

If you live with the hassle of carrying two phones all the time, the Samsung Galaxy Grand’s innovative dual-SIM feature provides total communication flexibility, allowing you to manage two phone numbers from a single phone.

Now you can efficiently manage your personal and business calls and messages, as it is possible to receive calls on one SIM number while taking a call from the other.

Dual SIM also offers the flexibility of selecting different billing plans for either SIM, switching between them to make the most of cheaper call and data plans.

Its vivid five-inch display provides an expansive viewing experience, presenting messaging, multimedia, and Web content in brilliant color and clarity. Even with the large screen, the phone is still slim, ergonomic and comfortable to hold.

You can also enjoy true multi-tasking running multiple apps simultaneously and without switching screens using the Multi Window feature.

The Samsung Galaxy Grand runs on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), Google’s latest operating system. A 1.2 GHz dual-core processor supports seamless multi-tasking, faster Web browsing, lightning-fast screen transitions, and superior graphics for some of the most demanding apps and games.

The Galaxy Grand sports a powerful 8MP camera with zero shutter-lag and ultra-quick camera start-up, and a 2MP front camera. It includes a backside illumination sensor to ensure clear shots even in dark conditions, as well as Full HD video recording.

The Samsung Galaxy Grand also includes Smart intuitive features that make the phone easy to use. For example, Direct Call enables users to automatically dial a call by raising the device up to the ear, while users can also shake the phone to trigger status updates, or pan it to zoom into a screen.

Smart Alert shows missed events such as missed calls and new messages just by picking up the phone. Popup Video lets users watch video in a pop-up window anywhere on the screen while running other tasks, and AllShare Play lets you share content across Samsung devices using a single account.
