Samsung's latest product: the Galaxy Grand 2 marks the coming of quality mid-range phones back in fashion. For quite some time Samsung was criticized for not coming up with a powerful mid-range Android handset. Even at the launch of Motorola's Moto G, critics lashed out at Samsung for not launching a competitive handset. The Galaxy Grand 2 marks that Samsung is having a tab on its competitors, rather closely.

Market expectations from the Moto G are strong, since the phone will debut in India as well US at the same time early next year. In that case, Samsung needs to price its newest handset around the Moto G. The biggest challenge in front of Samsung is to take care of domestic brands like Micromax, Karbonn and Intex.
