Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Technical Specifications
Display
Display Size: 5.0 Inches
Display Type: TFT capacitive touchscreen
Screen Resolution: 540 x 960 pixels
Screen Resolution Density: 220 ppi
Screen Protection: None
The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime display specs are below average when compared to those of its rivals. The 5.0 inch display is large enough, but Samsung was a bit mean on the resolution. A 1280 x 720 pixel display would have been perfect for the grand prime.
It is also disappointing that the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime lacks a corning gorilla glass layer. Screen protection is more of a standard for mid-tier devices and the Galaxy Grand Prime deserved to have one.
Design
Frame Dimensions: 144.8 x 72.1 x 8.6 mm
Weight: 156 g
The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime is huge. The grand prime is in fact bigger than the Galaxy Grand 2 despite the device sporting a slightly smaller display.
Performance
Operating System: Android OS, v4.4.2 (KitKat)
CPU: Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53
RAM: 1 GB
Internal Memory: 8 GB
Micro SD: Yes, up to 64 GB
The under the hood specs of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime are okay for a mid-range device. The performance profile of the device measures well against competition and according to Samsung you stand to enjoy ‘blazing-fast multitasking performance, no matter how much you have going on’
Camera
Rear Camera: 8 MP
Secondary Camera: 5 MP
LED Flash: Yes
Excellent camera performance was the main driving force behind the design of the Galaxy Grand Prime. An 8 MP rear camera looks nothing out of the ordinary. The focus here is on the 5 MP front facing camera.
I mean the Samsung Galaxy Grand prime has a better selfie camera than what you will find on the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5, two of the best Android smartphones on the planet.
A 5 MP selfie camera brings an end to grainy selfies and results to more dabotaps on Instagram.
Battery and Extras
Battery Capacity: Li-Ion 2600 mAh
Battery performance is always an important aspect of any smartphone. The Galaxy Grand Prime packs a Li-Ion 2600 mAh. This is exactly similar to what you will find on the Galaxy Grand 2.
Extras:
Dual-SIM
