Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos I9082 Review and Specification

Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos : Review

The Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082 is an upcoming phone that is slated for an early 2013 release in the Indian market. The Grand is a dual SIM phone that can support two separate GSM connections. Until recently, dual SIM phones were grossly underpowered and battery capacities on them were quite less. This is certainly not the case with the Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082. The dual SIM phone has a powerful battery that can power the phone for more than a day on normal continuous use. The Grand by Samsung is set to revolutionize the market for Dual SIM phones.

The Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082 is a versatile phone that boasts of an 8 MP primary camera that is capable of some high resolution photos and video capture. The secondary front facing camera is composed of an upgraded 2 MP camera. The primary camera is capable of Full High Definition video recording at 1920 X 1080p at 30 frames per second. The quality can be adjusted between HD ready to Full HD depending on the amount of space you want to be utilized for each video file. The camera comes with an LED flash that is capable of illuminating your subjects quite adequately even in low light conditions to give you clear images.

Auto Focus, Geo-tagging, Touch Focus and Face detection are some of the advanced features supported by the Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082. There is even an image stabilizer and smile detector that can help you take better, memorable pictures. There is a basic image editor present in the Galaxy Grand that you can use to touch up your images once they have been clicked. This makes for a great tool for those slightly imperfect images that you do not wish to delete, allowing you to save even more memories to the disk.

The power source of the Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082 is a massive 2100 mAh Li-Ion battery that is capable of powering your device for extended periods of time. The battery will last through the day with light to moderate usage which would include listening to music, watching video clips and taking a few photos with the 8 MP camera. Continuous video playback and music on the Samsung Grand might drain the battery in a little more than half a day. The 5 inch screen with a resolution of 480 X 800 pixels will certainly help in extending the operating duration of this powerful device without compromising on picture quality. The Multi-touch screen is capable of 16 M colors.

The Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082 has a dual core 1.2 GHz processor and a RAM of 1 GB, with an internal memory of 8 GB which can be extended to another 64 GB by use of microSD cards.
