Galaxy Grand Neo: 5 Inch Quad Core Dual SIM Smartphone Pops Up On Samsung's Website

Despite tough competition, Samsung emerged as a winner in the global smartphone tally with 33 % market share, market research firm IDC said. Last year, global smartphones shipment reached all time high with 1 billion units for the first time. Hence, Samsung met consumer expectations with mix of low-to-mid end Android-based handsets.

The year 2014 is also not looking different from last year, at least, if one asks to peek-a-boo into Samsung's upcoming portfolio. Earlier today, the Galaxy Grand Neo appeared on Samsung Bulgaria, thus making it clear that Samsung do have plans to launch the device at some point. Samsung has yet to make formal accouchement related to Galaxy Grand Neo.

Further, it appears that the said handset is a variant of Galaxy Grand Lite that recently went on sale from Netherland-based retailer for Rs. 22,203. Moreover, the Galaxy Grand Neo is supported by dual-SIM connectivity, while the Galaxy Grand Lite features single SIM feature. Barring dual-SIM support, the Galaxy Grand Neo features more -or-less similar features.
