Samsung Galaxy Grand 3 teased by with a tagline Samsung -The Grandest Ever

Samsung Galaxy Grand 3 “The Grandest Ever”

Last year in November, Samsung Galaxy Grand 3 specs leaked out in a GFX Benchmark site. But after numerous leaks, Samsung will finally be launching Galaxy Grand 3. Samsung India teases the Grand 3 with the tagline- “The Grandest Ever”.

According to the leaked specs, Samsung Galaxy Grand 3 will sport a larger 5.5 inch screen, with a resolution of 720 x 1280. Grand 2 had a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 CPU but Grand 3 performance will be upgraded with a quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410 64 bit CPU, with 1.5GB of RAM on board. The Adreno 306 GPU will provide the graphics. The phone will have 16GB of internal storage and should be more thinner and lighter.

One of the biggest improvements with the Grand 3 as it seems will be the cameras.The Galaxy Grand 2 only offered an 8MP snapper on back, and a 1.9MP camera up front. But now, Grand 3 will sport a 13MP camera on back and 5MP front camera. Android 4.4.4 should be pre-installed on the handset.

Samsung’s Grand lineups has always been a mid-range phone so we can expect it to be priced sensibly once again. Last years Grand 2 was priced at Rs.36,900 during it’s launch but was soon priced at RS.32,000 and then to Rs.26,900. S o, we expect to see the Samsung Galaxy Grand 3 to be priced in a similar pattern.
