Samsung pioneered the trend of a new breed of devices, now more commonly known as 'phablets', smartphones that are (almost) nearing tablets in size. After the company's successful Galaxy Note device, many followed suit including homegrown manufacturers like Micromax and Karbonn who are offering devices in the under-15k, and even under 10K price point.To compete with these, Samsung has launched the Galaxy Grand Duos, though it has been priced at Rs. 21,500. Is it the 'Samsung' brand value or does the device really live up to user expectations? We take a look.

Superb phone,UI taking the blow

Anita Bisht (May 2, 2014) on Gadgets 360

The build quality of phone is very good, chrome line running along the phone and the plastic used is also of good quality.The only thing I don't like about the phone is the UI. Touchwiz UI gives good features but is also packed with some useless features and app which take a toll on its RAM and the internal storage. Gpu and the processor of the phone is snappy but after the update of android 4.2.2 the phone becomes a bit slow. The star I have deduced is only for laggy UI but the phone is stunner and isa good package in all.

A very good phone with lots of feature but the price is high ..this same feature was come with micromax phone there price is lower as compared to this.. many people do not afford this price tag.. i think it is for general uses it is good...in this gaming is not so smooth....user interface is like lagging at time...the battery was not that great....you have to need charging every day. in this price tag samsung had to provide amoled screen , corning gorilla glass and higher resolution..

Note in size, but not overly impressive.

Aayush Agarwal (May 22, 2014) on Gadgets 360

20 k range phone from Samsung for people who like larger screens. However the pic quality is low-res due to stretching of pixels. There's a 1.2GHz dual-core processer with 1GB of RAM which i would say is very average for this price. The looks and design is same as for any other Samsung device. Not great but could've been more successful at a cheaper price.
