Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo – construction and performance

Galaxy Grand Neo is a device relatively large, its dimensions are 143.7 x 77.1 x 9.6 mm and weight is up to 163 grams. Its design corresponds with the style, to which Samsung had we used in previous models. So we have rounded corners, silver frame surrounding the edge of the casing, and the matt surface, which is not only easier to grasp, but which at the same time it does not catch fingerprints, as in the case of shiny casings.

Rear Panel Galaxy Grand Neo of course removable allowing yourself to replace the battery, and also provides access to a mini SIM card and memory card slot. The rear panel is adorned with the usual camera lens and LED Illuminates. At one edge of the placed volume button, on the other hand push button switch device and the screen lock. The bottom edge is as usual microUSB connector, while the upper headphone jack.

The front panel is almost entirely within a 5-inch display. At the top we find, of course, video camera lens, speaker and proximity sensor, and the under-provided physical Home button and touch navigation keys. Galaxy Grand Neo looks quite nice, though of course in the case of Samsung’s choice of materials is not the strongest point and we have a typical polycarbonate. Fit is admittedly quite strong, but after a period of use can begin to complain.

Display

Galaxy Grand Neo has a big screen size of 5 inches. As for the budget segment is quite high, but size does not go hand in hand with the technical parameters. This is because only the matrix TN resolution only 480 x 800 pixels, with the density at 186 PPI. These values ​​mean that the icons and letters are jagged, and in the image become visible pixels. So if you are every day used to better display, it will be a little disappointed with the quality of the image. Medium brightness is 388 cd / m 2, and the contrast of 1: 856 which happens to be a decent value, and unless you try to operate the phone in direct sunlight, there should be no problems. The viewing angles are also not the worst.

Functionality

Galaxy Grand Neo works on the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with TouchWiz Nature UX overlay well known users of equipment the company that makes some modification in the appearance of the interface, such as a transparent status bar, full screen wallpaper and a few other items. These include, among others, Smart Stay, which allows you to have two applications running simultaneously on a split screen.

Samsung took care of a lot of text input, and so we have a QWERT keyboard, swype, handwriting recognition. A useful feature is the ability to move the screen keyboard, dialer and calculator. Not forgotten the voice assistant, who can dictate a text message or email.

Galaxy Grand Neo also has GPS with GLONASS and allows you to connect to compatible TVs and smartphones with the Samsung Link option. Finally, it installed an FM radio with recording RDSem and files, and good music player.

When it comes to access to the Internet, we can take advantage of HSDPA (21 Mbps) and Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), but unfortunately it lacks LTE.

Performance Galaxy Grand Neo

The heart of the Galaxy Grand Neo is a Broadcom BCM23550 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 architecture supported by the layout VideoCore IV. Installed RAM 1 GB, and for this we have 8 GB of memory in use, as usual, in large part is occupied by the operating system and applications, so the user is only 5 GB. Fortunately, we can use microSD cards with a maximum capacity of 64 GB.

The camera installed in this model is a typical matrix: Average 5 Mpix, with some useful exposure modes, albeit without the HDR mode, but it is geo- -tagging makes a good photo provided excellent lighting conditions, but when we are a bit weaker in noise becomes very clear. The camera also records video at 720p at 30 fps with monaural sound. Just to throw the material to the network, but to more serious applications is too weak. The front camera has a typical resolution of 640 x 480 pixels.

Battery

smartphone with a large screen and a 4-core processor should have a large battery that does not need to be Too often charge. A battery that is the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo? 2100 mAh, which should be sufficient for approximately 11 hours of talk time, 10 hours web browsing enabled WiFi and 8 hours of video. You can say that it is so capacious enough to provide about two days of action in normal use equipment. It’s pretty good.

Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo – price and review

Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo must pay about 600 dollars. In return, we get equipment with good processor, useful software and capacious battery. Unfortunately, the quality of the image displayed on a 5-inch screen leaves a lot to be desired, as well as the quality of the pictures. For the price, however, we would have been difficult to find a smartphone with better performance, we can say that the Galaxy Grand Neo is worth buying.
