Samsung Galaxy Grand 2: Battery, Calling and Sound quality, and Miscellaneous

 

The in-device battery is a major impressive point in the phone. The Grand 2 comes with a 2600mAh battery which easily sailed has the ability to go on for days without a single charge. Apparently, you will also have a bit of juice left in the end even though you have tried to use up the battery in every possible way.

Also, the music and video player seem quite a treat that will surely substitute any other music system you might have in the house. The music player also supports lyrics alongside offering impressive enhancements such as Tube amp effect, EQ presets, Adapt sound and more. The video player also supports most of the video formats out there, and this includes the dreaded MKV.

The rear speaker is also quite loud for notifying you on incoming calls but may seem a bit muted as far as alert tones are concerned. We maxed out the notification volume, but that didn't help as most of the alert tones weren't as loud as users may normally expect.

Apart from that, there also seems to be an issue with the lack of a notification light. And this can be quite a problematic situation if you didn't hear your phone ring in the first place. And hence there's just no way to know if you have a pending alert or a notification or not, unless you light up the device.

Final Verdict

With the competition to reach the top heating up in the above-20,000 section, no one manufacturer is secured and will rather face a tough time from others also in the same race. In the same context, the Grand 2 may be priced accordingly, but the device still lacks a number of major points that would have otherwise helped the device's cause in climbing up the ladder.

Sure the device is a potent enough upgrade to the Grand Duos, but the number of in-device bugs and other small nibbling problems may not bring Samsung the same kind of popularity it had once garnered via the Grand Duos. However, we will definitely keep a lookout on how the device eventually scores in the market.
