Samsung galaxy grand neo options. Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo - large screen and low cost. The SIM card is used in mobile devices to store data that certifies the authenticity of mobile service subscribers

If smartphone manufacturers mix inexpensive filling and a few chips that are inherent in pseudo flags, add a large screen, as well as support for two SIM cards, then you get an ideal formula for state employees who 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 the fresh budget phone from Samsung 2014 - Galaxy Grand Neo. Fun fact this device is that the welcome screen will assure you that you are the owner of the Galaxy Grand Lite and not the Galaxy Grand Neo. All this is due to the fact that before publication, he appeared under these two names. But this does not really 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 Samsung devices, is plastic and round, with a chrome-like frame around the perimeter. The elements on the case are located like many other models from the South Korean manufacturer. So, on the front panel under the screen there are a pair of touch buttons and one physical button, at the top there is a speaker, a couple of sensors, as well as a front camera. The buttons that control the 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 back cover is made of textured, slightly rough to the touch plastic. It houses a flash, a speaker, and a 5-megapixel camera. Below it all is the Samsung logo. There are no decorative elements. The thickness and wide bezels around the display spoil the impression of the Grand Neo.

Performance

Thanks to its filling, the gadget will handle most applications and games, but for gamers this model strongly discouraged. Total gigabytes random access memory and not a particularly fresh processor will not let you forget about yourself. Even a display with a modest resolution will not save the situation here. Also with regards to resolution: graininess is noticeable, too little for a five-inch display of 800x480 pixels. But, again, remembering the loyal price of the device, you can close your eyes to this.

Functional

The cameras will not cause delight either. The lack of megapixels and the outdated module are asking 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 pixels of the screen. Well, at least there is an LED flash and autofocus, which somehow reduces the disappointment in 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 networks, selection of 3d lock screen wallpapers and from TouchWiz.

As a result, Samsung Galaxy The Grand Neo cannot be categorized as the best or worst of the cheap devices on the market. Its obvious advantages are: price, brand, high-quality assembly and time in operation. autonomous work... The disadvantages include the age-old set of problems for a cheap smartphone - these are sad performance, a weak camera and, of course, the screen.

The main feature of "Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo" - 2 SIM cards and large display, which are combined with the relatively low cost of the device. This is becoming very relevant, given the fact that nowadays most buyers prefer "lightweight" smartphones in technical terms, on which you can save money. One of the main criteria, in this case, becomes It should be noted that the manufacturing company has also provided for a modification with one SIM card. More details about the new product will be discussed later.

Specifications

The Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo is equipped with a Broadcom BCM23550 quad-core processor. Each of them operates at a frequency of 1.2 GHz. The South Korean manufacturing company usually installs such units exactly on To save information, the developers have provided 8 GB of internal 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 installing an additional microSD cards, up to 64 GB in size. The amount of RAM of the device is 1 GB. The smartphone comes with a removable rechargeable battery with a capacity of 2100 mAh. It is quite enough to work in standby mode for about 439 hours, and in talk mode - 11 hours.

Dimensions (edit)

In their own way appearance the novelty is not very different from its predecessor. In the production of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo case, a good quality plastic is used. The device weighs 169 grams, while its dimensions are 143.7x77.1x9.9 mm. In general, the model cannot be called light and ergonomic. On the other hand, due to the pleasant texture of the rear panel, it is quite pleasant to hold the device in hands. Moreover, unlike the variants with a glossy body, it does not slip out of your hands during a long conversation.

Appearance

Stylish, memorable design is not the strongest point of the 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. For the sake of fairness, it should be emphasized that for all devices from the budget segment from this manufacturer, a similar trend is characteristic. The device is available in white, black, orange or green. The front part is occupied by the display. Below are three control keys, and on top is a front camera with spoken speaker... On the right side you can see the power button, and on the left - a rocker for adjusting sound parameters. The bottom of the model is used for a microphone hole and a microUSB port. As for the headphone jack, here it is at the top. On back cover, which is very problematic to shoot, the developers have placed the main camera peephole, LED flash, and a loudspeaker grill.

Display

Quite impressive dimensions and weight are connected, first of all, with the installation of a large, five-inch display on the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo. The characteristics of the screen cannot be called outstanding. Its resolution is only 800x480 pixels, while the image density per inch is equal to 186 pixels. The display is based on TFT technology, which does not in the best way affect the viewing angles. The sensor itself reacts to touch quite briskly. With all this, it should be remembered that the model belongs to the line of budget devices, and its cost in domestic salons 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 movies. It should be noted that its predecessor's characteristics were more impressive. In this regard, there is no doubt that the manufacturing company has saved on this component as well. Be that as it may, the quality of the pictures taken with 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 associated with the manifestation of too aggressive noise reduction under certain conditions, as well as with not quite correct exposure in macro mode. It would be wrong to call such disadvantages significant, especially considering the cost of the phone. Moreover, with good lighting, you can easily get good photo for memory. As for the front camera, it shoots at a resolution of 0.3 megapixels, which is no surprise. The expediency of its presence is connected only with the possibility of making calls via video communication.

Interface

The model operates on Android system 4.2. The low cost of a smartphone limits its capabilities in many ways. At the same time, thanks to the use of a processor for four cores, most of the programs start and run very quickly. In order to provide quick access to applications and mail, the user can independently customize the lock screen widgets. For a desktop that is standard for both devices from Samsung, there are seven plans. Switching between them occurs by touching with your fingers. It should 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, "Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo" has a simple gallery. Even high-quality images are displayed clearly and vividly without delay. 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 displaying two images at a time.

Telephony

Smartphone "Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo" has a fairly simple phone book... You can make calls or send messages directly from it. In the event that the device detects two similar contacts, it will itself offer to combine them. The model boasts excellent sound quality during conversations, and any extraneous noise at the same time are absent in the tube. The real highlight was the addition of an equalizer for calls by the developers. The direct dialing function deserves separate words, which consists in the fact that while viewing a certain contact, the device can simply be brought to the ear, after which it will call itself. The large display has greatly simplified the process of typing when creating SMS.

Conclusion

Summing up, it should be emphasized that the main advantages of "Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo" are relatively low cost and a large display, albeit with a low resolution. The developers practically did not make any changes to the appearance, and therefore the device does not stand out in any way against the background of other representatives of the line. The only exception is the back cover, which has a nice texture. It would seem that the model's camera, weak at first glance, creates photos in good quality. At the same time, a budget processor with four cores provides operational work most resource-intensive applications. With all this, do not forget that the device supports work with two SIM cards, which is important in our time.
