However, the new Karbonn K9 Smart Grand comes with some noticeable upgrades over its predecessor. K9 Smart Grand now comes with a fingerprint scanner. One similarity though, this new handset will also cater to the entry-level segment and is a decent offering considering its features and specifications.
