Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo features a plastic build with a glass front, measuring 143.7 x 77.1 x 9.6 mm and weighing 163 grams, available in multiple colors.
- Its 5.01-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 186 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Broadcom BCM23550 chipset, paired with 1GB of RAM, which handles everyday applications with moderate efficiency.
- The rear camera offers 5 MP with autofocus and can record video at 720p, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- Battery capacity stands at 2100 mAh, providing limited longevity without fast charging or wireless options.
- The device runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, upgradable to 4.4.4 KitKat, which may feel outdated compared to newer software.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The absence of HDR and stereo speakers limits the multimedia experience.
- Overall, the Galaxy Grand Neo is a basic smartphone that fulfills essential functions without advanced features.
