Samsung's Galaxy Grand 2 is the size of a Galaxy Note but lacks the stylus

The Galaxy Grand 2 is another big Samsung phone
(5.25 inches this time), but while it might share the
screen-size with the Galaxy Note family, there are a
few hardware changes that make this handset more
middleweight than flagship. There's 8GB of base
storage, with microSD expansion up to 64GB, a quad-
core 1.2GHz processor and no stylus. The rear-facing 8-
megapixel camera also might not stand up to
comparisons against the higher pixel-count varieties.
Compared to the original Galaxy Grand, which housed
a limp 800 x 480 WVGA screen, the sequel's
incrementally bigger display now cranks that up to a
passable 720p. The phone will also arrive running
Android 4.3, in white, black and pink color options.
There's still no LTE on the model, but (at least?) there's
dual-SIM slots which means the smartphone is likely to
make a global roll-out at a presumably moderate price.
When we hear the specifics, we'll let you know.
