If smartphone manufacturers mix inexpensive hardware and a few features that are typical for pseudo-flagships, they add big screen, as well as support for two SIM cards, you get the ideal formula for state employees that will be in great demand in the market. Especially if you add to this the logo of a well-known manufacturer. An example of this is fresh budget phone from Samsung 2014 release – Galaxy Grand Neo. Fun fact of this device is that the welcome screen will assure you that you are the owner of a Galaxy Grand Lite and not a Galaxy Grand Neo. All this is due to the fact that before its publication it appeared under these two names. But this does not particularly bother Samsung connoisseurs. Perhaps this problem will be fixed with the release of future software updates, but an error on the welcome screen is not so bad. The Galaxy Grand Neo can hardly be called a budget device, but it can be said that it is affordable.
Design
Galaxy Grand Neo, like all other Samsungs, is plastic and round, with a chrome-like frame around the perimeter. The elements on the body are arranged like many other models from the South Korean manufacturer. So, on the front panel under the screen there are a pair of touchscreens and one physical button, at the top there is a speaker, a couple of sensors, and a front camera. The buttons that control volume and power are located on the sides. The bottom is reserved for the microUSB port, and the top is for the headset jack. The removable back cover is made of textured plastic that is slightly rough to the touch. It houses a flash, a speaker, and a 5-megapixel camera. Below all this is the Samsung logo. There are no decorative elements. The impression of the Grand Neo is spoiled by its thickness and wide frames around the display.
Performance
Thanks to its filling, the gadget will support most applications and games, but for gamers this model absolutely not recommended. Just a gigabyte of RAM and a not-so-new processor will not let you forget about yourself. Here, even a display with a modest resolution will not save the situation. Also regarding resolution: grain is noticeable, too small for a five-inch 800x480 pixel display. But, again, remembering the loyal price of the device, you can close your eyes to this.
Functional
The cameras won't excite either. The lack of megapixels and the outdated module are begging to be replaced with something of high quality. But even if this were feasible, the resulting picture would still be spoiled by the ill-fated screen pixels. Well, at least there is an LED flash and autofocus, which somehow reduces the disappointment with the camera. It will be possible to overcome the shortcomings of a smartphone only by reducing the load on it. Perhaps the owner of the Galaxy Grand Neo will need to give up such benefits as enhanced photo processing before uploading to social media, selection of 3D lock screen wallpapers from TouchWiz.
As a result, Samsung Galaxy The Grand Neo isn't the best or worst cheap device on the market. Its obvious advantages are: price, brand, high-quality assembly and operating time. battery life. The disadvantages include the eternal set of problems of a cheap smartphone - this is sad performance, a weak camera and, of course, the screen.

The main feature of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo is 2 SIM cards and a large display, which are combined with the relatively low cost of the device. This becomes very relevant, given the fact that nowadays most buyers prefer smartphones that are “lightweight” in technical terms, on which they can save money. One of the main criteria, in this case, is the fact that the manufacturing company also provided for a modification with one SIM card. More details about the new product will be discussed below.
Specifications
The Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo model is equipped with a Broadcom BCM23550 processor consisting of four cores. Each of them operates at a frequency of 1.2 GHz. The South Korean manufacturing company usually installs such units on the To save information, the developers have provided 8 GB of built-in memory. At the same time, we must not forget that almost half of this capacity is required to meet the system’s own needs, so it is not available to the user. However, if necessary, the indicator can be improved by setting additional card microSD, up to 64 GB in size. The device's RAM capacity is 1 GB. The smartphone comes with a removable battery capacity 2100 mAh. It is quite enough to work in standby mode for approximately 439 hours, and in talk mode - 11 hours.
Dimensions
In my own way appearance the new product is not very different from its predecessor. In the production of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo case, good quality plastic is used. The device weighs 169 grams, while its dimensions are 143.7 x 77.1 x 9.9 millimeters. In general, the model cannot be called light and ergonomic. On the other hand, due to the pleasant texture of the rear panel, holding the device in your hands is quite pleasant. Moreover, unlike options with a glossy case, it does not slip out of your hands during a long conversation.
Appearance
Stylish, memorable design is far from the most strong point"Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo". A review of the smartphone market, both in general and the niche occupied by the model in particular, shows that more attractive devices are offered to the buyer for the same amount. To be fair, it should be emphasized that all devices from the budget segment from this manufacturing company are characterized by a similar trend. The device is available in white, black, orange or green housing. The front part is occupied by the display. At the bottom there are three control keys, and at the top there is a front camera with a speaker. On the right side you can see the power key, and on the left there is a rocker for adjusting sound parameters. The bottom edge of the model is used for a microphone hole and a microUSB port. As for the headphone jack, here it is on the top. On back cover, which is very problematic to remove, the developers have placed a peephole of the main camera, LED flash, as well as the loudspeaker grille.
Display
The rather impressive size and weight are associated, first of all, with the installation of a large, five-inch display on the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo model. The screen characteristics cannot be called outstanding. Its resolution is only 800x480 pixels, despite the fact that the image density per inch is 186 pixels. The display is based on TFT technology, which does not have the best effect on viewing angles. The sensor itself reacts to touch quite quickly. With all this, you should remember the nuance that the model belongs to the line of budget devices, and its cost in domestic showrooms is about 300 US dollars.
Cameras
The main camera of the smartphone has a 5 megapixel matrix. It has auto focus with flash and is capable of recording HD videos. It should be noted that its predecessor had more impressive characteristics. In this regard, there is no doubt that the manufacturing company saved money on this component. Be that as it may, the quality of the images created using the main camera is at a decent level, as for this kind of matrix, which is further confirmed by the reviews left by numerous owners of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo. The most common complaints, according to users, are related to the manifestation of too aggressive noise reduction under certain conditions, as well as not quite correct exposure in macro mode. It would be wrong to call such shortcomings significant, especially considering the cost of the phone. Moreover, with good lighting, you can easily get a good photo as a keepsake. As for the front camera, it shoots at a resolution of 0.3 megapixels, which won’t surprise anyone. The expediency of its presence is connected only with the possibility of making video calls.
Interface
The model operates on Android system 4.2. The low cost of a smartphone largely limits its capabilities. At the same time, thanks to the use of a four-core processor, most programs launch and run very quickly. In order to provide quick access to applications and mail, the user can independently configure screen lock widgets. For the desktop, which is standard as for devices from Samsung, there are seven plans. Switching between them occurs using finger touches. It should also be noted that there is a built-in voice assistant, which allows you to fully control your smartphone - manage sound settings, type messages, make calls and much more.
Gallery
Compared to many other smartphones from this manufacturer, the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo has a simple gallery. Even high-quality images are displayed clearly and colorfully without any lag. Here you can also edit pictures (for example, change colors and add effects). When viewing information in an album, the user can call up a panel that allows you to display two images.
Telephony
The Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo smartphone has a fairly simple phone book. You can make calls or send messages directly from it. If the device detects two similar contacts, it itself will offer to combine them. The model boasts excellent sound quality during calls, and any extraneous noise are absent in the tube. The real highlight was the developers' addition of an equalizer for calls. The direct dialing function deserves special mention, which means that while viewing a specific contact, the device can simply be brought to your ear, after which it will call itself. The large display has greatly simplified the process of typing when creating SMS.
Conclusion
To summarize, we should focus on the fact that the main advantages of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo are its relatively low cost and large display, albeit with a low resolution. The developers have made virtually no changes to the appearance, and therefore the device does not stand out from other representatives of the line. The only exception is the back cover, which has a pleasant texture. It would seem that the model’s camera, which at first glance seems weak, creates photographs in good quality. At the same time, a budget processor with four cores provides operational work most resource-intensive applications. With all this, we should not forget that the device supports work with two SIM cards, which is important in our time.
