main feature Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo "- 2 SIM cards and a large display, which are combined with a relatively low cost of the device. This becomes very relevant, given the fact that in our time, most buyers prefer "lightweight" in technical terms smartphones to save money on. One of the main criteria, at the same time, becomes. It should be noted that the manufacturer 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 model is equipped with a Broadcom BCM23550 processor, consisting of four cores. Each of them operates at a frequency of 1.2 GHz. The South Korean manufacturing company usually installs similar 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. Volume random access memory device is 1 GB. The smartphone comes with a detachable battery capacity 2100 mAh. It is quite enough to work in standby mode for about 439 hours, and in conversational mode - 11 hours.
Dimensions
In my own way appearance The novelty is not much different from its predecessor. In the production of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo case, plastic of good quality is used. The device weighs 169 grams, while its dimensions are 143.7 x 77.1 x 9.9 mm. In general, it is impossible to call the model 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 your hands. Moreover, unlike variants with a glossy body, it does not slip out of the hands during a long conversation.
Appearance
A stylish, memorable design is far from the strongest side of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo. An overview 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. In fairness, it should be emphasized that a similar trend is typical for all devices from the budget segment from this manufacturer. The device is available in white, black, orange or green body. Its front part is occupied by the display. Below are three control keys, and on top is the front camera with conversational speaker. On the right side you can see the power button, and on the left - a rocker to adjust the sound settings. The bottom edge of the model is used for the microphone hole and microUSB port. As for the headphone jack, here it is on top. On the back cover, which is very problematic to remove, the developers placed the main camera eye, LED flash, and a loudspeaker grille.
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 model. The characteristics of the screen can not be called outstanding. Its resolution is only 800x480 pixels, while the image density per inch is 186 pixels. The display is based on TFT technology, which does not have the best effect on viewing angles. The sensor itself reacts to touch quite briskly. With all this, one should also remember the nuance that the model belongs to the line of budget devices, and its cost in domestic stores is about 300 US dollars.
cameras
The main camera of the smartphone has a matrix of 5 megapixels. It has auto focus with flash and is capable of recording HD movies. It should be noted that its predecessor had more impressive characteristics. 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 was 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 when certain conditions, as well as with not quite the correct exposure in macro mode. Calling such shortcomings significant, especially against the backdrop of the cost of the phone, would be wrong. Moreover, with good lighting, you can easily get good photo for memory. Concerning front camera, then it shoots at a resolution of 0.3 megapixels, which is no surprise. The expediency of its presence is associated only with the possibility of making video calls.
Interface
The model operates on the Android 4.2 system. The low cost of a smartphone largely limits its capabilities. At the same time, thanks to the use of a four-core processor in it, most of the programs start up and run very quickly. In order to provide quick access to applications and mail, the user can independently configure screen lock widgets. There are seven plans for the desktop, which is standard on Samsung devices. Switching between them occurs with the help of finger touches. Not to mention the presence of a built-in voice assistant, which allows you to fully control your smartphone - manage sound settings, type messages, call and much more.
Gallery
Compared to many other smartphones from this manufacturer, "Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo" features a simple gallery. Even high-quality images are displayed clearly and colorfully 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 you to display two images.
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 itself will offer to merge them. The model boasts excellent sound quality during calls, and any extraneous noise are absent in the tube. The real highlight was the addition of an equalizer for calls by the developers. Separate words deserve the function of direct dialing, which consists in the fact that while viewing specific contact, the device can simply be brought to your ear, after which it will call itself. The large display has greatly simplified the process of typing when creating SMS.
Conclusion
Summing up, we should focus on the fact that the main advantages of the "Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo" is a relatively low cost and a large display, albeit with a low resolution. The developers have made almost no changes to the appearance, and therefore the device does not stand out from 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 camera of the model, weak at first glance, creates photographs in good quality. At the same time as budget processor four cores provides operational work most resource-intensive applications. With all this, one should not forget that the device supports two SIM cards, which is important in our time.

If smartphone manufacturers mix inexpensive stuffing and a few chips that are inherent in pseudo-flagships, add a large screen, as well as support for two SIM cards, then you get the 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 a fresh budget phone from Samsung in 2014 - Galaxy Grand Neo. A fun fact about 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 particularly confuse connoisseurs of Samsung. Perhaps this problem will be fixed with the release of future software updates, but the error on the welcome screen is not so bad. Galaxy Grand Neo is hard to name budget device, but it is quite possible to say that it is affordable.
Design
Galaxy Grand Neo, like all other Samsungs, is plastic and rounded, with a “chrome look” frame around the perimeter. The elements on the body are arranged like many other models from the South Korean manufacturer. So, on the front panel under the screen there are a pair of touch 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 rear removable cover is made of textured, slightly rough to the touch plastic. It has a flash, a speaker, a 5-megapixel camera. Below all this 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 pull most applications and games, but for gamers this model absolutely not recommended. Just a gigabyte of RAM and not a very fresh processor will not let you forget about yourself. Here, even a display with a modest resolution will not save the situation. Also with regards to resolution: the graininess is noticeable, too small for a five-inch display of 800x480 pixels. But, again, remembering the loyal price of the device, you can turn a blind eye to this.
Functional
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 it were feasible, the resulting picture would still be spoiled by the ill-fated screen pixels. Well, at least there is an LED flash and autofocus, which somehow reduces disappointment in the camera. It will be possible to overcome the shortcomings of the 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, a selection of 3d lock screen wallpapers and from TouchWiz.
In summary, the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo is not the best or worst cheap device on the market. Its obvious advantages are: price, brand, quality assembly and time in mode battery life. The cons include the eternal set of problems of a cheap smartphone - this is a sad performance, a weak camera and, of course, the same screen.

Manufacturers of mobile devices have long developed a formula for successful state employees. In one case, you need to mix inexpensive stuffing with a couple of pseudo-flagship chips, add a large screen, support for two SIM-cards and make the price around ten, plus or minus a couple of thousand. If you add the logo of a famous manufacturer with a good marketing department to all this, you get a mega combo for good sales and an increase in corporate cash. One such example is a fresh Samsung budget employee. model range 2014. In addition to all of the above, in his fate there was even a place for the tragedy of naming. Known before the official premiere from sources of rumors, either under the name Galaxy Grand Neo, or as Galaxy Grand Lite, it is sold as Neo on store shelves, and the welcome screen when turned on insists that it is Lite. Let this not bother potential buyers, it does not get better or worse, just a fun fact. Maybe in one of the upcoming updates software this discrepancy will be resolved.

In terms of design, a white Galaxy Grand Neo came to iGuides for review. As usual, rounded, plastic, with a frame "under chrome" around the perimeter. Sometimes it seems to me that the attractiveness of white pipes is overestimated, and Last year I am more and more sympathetic to bright color smartphones. However, I don’t know how I would speak if every model on the market had a couple of color modifications. They probably also quickly got their eyes wet and lost their attractiveness.
The arrangement of elements on the Grand Neo body is similar to most others Samsung models- on the front side one physical and a pair touch buttons under the screen, on top of the speaker, front camera and a couple of sensors. The power and volume buttons are spaced on the sides, the top and bottom are reserved for the headphone jack and the micro-USB port. The textured, slightly rough plastic of the removable back cover has cut a number of holes for the flash, a five-megapixel camera lens and a speaker, below is the manufacturer's logo. The Galaxy Grand Neo has no decorative elements, such as, for example, the “leather-like” finish in Grand 2 that I suddenly liked. On the one hand, this is boring and can be attributed to shortcomings, on the other hand, you should not forget about the cost of a smartphone.
But what I would definitely call the disadvantages of a smartphone is too wide bezels around the display and thickness. If again we compare Neo and Grand 2, the advantage in ergonomics will be in favor of the latter. Even with a larger screen diagonal, it lies better in the hand - it does not strive to slip out, and even in different places the display is a little more convenient to reach.
In terms of filling the Galaxy Grand Neo, there are not enough stars from the sky, that is, points in synthetic tests. It will handle most popular applications and undemanding games, but mobile gamers should look at something more powerful or expensive. A gigabyte of RAM combined with a stale processor make themselves felt, and even a modest display resolution does not really save the situation.
Speaking of resolution, the picture on the screen is obviously grainy, 800x480 pixels on the sides of a five-inch screen is very small in 2014. However, you need to look back at the cost again and present potential buyers of the tube, so as not to put an end to it.
Cameras, front and rear, also do not cause delight. I really want to replace the outdated module with a lack of megapixels with something better, however, if this happened, the final picture would be spoiled by screen pixels visible to the naked eye. The disadvantages of the Galaxy Grand Neo will have to be dealt with with improvised means, for example, slightly reducing the load by eliminating TouchWiz, carefully choosing wallpapers for the lock screen, and also enhanced processing of pictures before uploading to Instagram and other social networks. You can adapt.
As a result, Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo is not the best, but not the worst budget employee on the market. In the merits, you can safely write down the battery life, build quality, brand and price. Screen, camera and performance will go to the disadvantages column - a classic set of problems for a cheap smartphone.
Many detractors accuse Samsung that its smartphones are similar to each other, that it is easy to confuse one line with another. Of course, there is some truth in these words, but the real user does not suffer from this in any way. So, Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo is an improved version of the Galaxy Grand Duos, with improved cameras and processor. In addition, the device also pleases with a large screen and the ability to use two SIM cards at once. As a result, it is still impossible to call the device a budget one, but the fact that it is quite accessible to most users is a fact, and with a given set of parameters and a big name of the manufacturer, a smartphone should be a real success. Is this so, our
.
Appearance and ergonomics
If you say that the Galaxy Grand Neo is easily confused with the Galaxy S4, which belongs to the category of more expensive devices at arm's length, then this will already attract the attention of many users. In terms of design, this smartphone is not much different from others from Samsung. There are all the same rounded corners, plastic case and chrome trim.
There are no questions about the material of the screen: all dirt from it is simply erased. But the back panel, with intensive use, runs the risk of being covered with a significant number of scratches, so if a neat look of a smartphone has great importance, then do not be stingy and buy a cover.
The screen diagonal is 5 inches, a standard value for most modern models, at which, however, the device is still classified as a , and not a tablet phone. Therefore, the Galaxy Grand Neo cannot be called too dimensional: it can be placed both in a pocket and in a purse, and its daily use does not bother a bit, although some users still cannot manage it with one hand. An acceptable weight of 163 g and a thickness of 9.3 mm make the device competitive in the gadget market and quite ergonomic, which is facilitated by the location of the control keys and connectors on the device body. If you have previously used a smartphone from Samsung, then you will not have to get used to this model at all, since everything here is done in the best traditions of the company. By the way, in order to replace one of the SIM-cards, you do not have to remove the battery, which can also be attributed to pluses if you need to urgently use some other number.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Display
Contrary to its external resemblance to, this smartphone cannot please with the same highest screen quality and resolution - it is equipped with an average display that more than meets the stated price range. The resolution is 480×800 pixels, which is enough for an undemanding, unspoiled and economical user, especially since the picture is bright and saturated. The record value of maximum brightness, thanks to which the picture does not fade even in the clearest sunny weather, excellent color reproduction, in which the smartphone is not inferior to the most expensive models, high juiciness and sensitivity, the widest viewing angles - all this makes it give very good Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo reviews. By the combination of all these characteristics, the screen can be called one of the most strengths and the confident dignity of the gadget, and the low resolution, which entails a low cost, while making the smartphone only more accessible a huge number users.
Performance and Battery
Galaxy Grand Neo as a filling received a standard solution by today's standards: a 4-core processor with a maximum frequency of 1.2 GHz. All this is complemented by 1 GB of RAM, and as a result, the smartphone does an excellent job with all standard applications and most modern, but not the most difficult, games. True, if you are an avid gamer and are looking for a gadget mainly for advanced games, then this model is unlikely to suit you. Otherwise, this is an excellent productive smartphone with which you will not know what freezes are.
The main memory in the gadget was placed very little - 8 GB, but it's good that they can be expanded with a memory card up to 64 GB.
But the battery at first glance may cause bewilderment: with such parameters, using a 2100 mAh battery is not entirely appropriate. But it's time to remember about the energy efficiency technologies used in the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo, so even with such modest battery parameters, it will work no less than a typical Android device.
Incidentally, as operating system version 4.2 is installed - not the latest, but applications are still being released for it. By the way, the device is already sold with a pre-installed set of programs in which you can find a lot of interesting things. The interface does not surprise us with some fresh solutions, but here are some settings that make us rejoice. So, you can, for example, set maximum frequency processor to extend the battery life of the gadget, or adjust emergency call when the smartphone takes pictures with two cameras and sends them to pre-set recipients.
In terms of wireless services, the gadget is implemented as standard for a device in its price category: GPS, GLONASS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are available. One of the main advantages of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo is its two-terminality, which is especially appreciated by the vast majority of users.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo camera
Despite the fact that the main camera boasts only 5 megapixels, the pictures are unexpected good quality- even better than you might expect from a budget device. Autofocus and built-in flash, as well as a host of settings and shooting modes will help to achieve a good image in almost any conditions. The maximum resolution of the received photos is 2650´1920, and they come out clear and saturated with minimal noise. You also need to praise the camera for its work in the “Auto” mode and the correct setting of the white balance, for the well-implemented macro mode and for the flash, which, although it is very powerful, does not “overexposure” objects, which often spoils the impression of many cameras. True, it cannot be said that the Galaxy Grand Neo copes perfectly in low light conditions, but this is a problem for the vast majority of not only mobile cameras, but also soap dishes.
Unfortunately, we cannot praise the work of the front camera in the same way, since here 0.3 megapixels speak for themselves: the image resolution is poor, the color reproduction is not very good. But the fact that the camera does not blur the object and makes it recognizable, unlike many other models with the same parameters, is a definite plus. this smartphone. Cameras in mobile devices are certainly developing in the direction of improving the quality of shooting, but they are still far from .
conclusions
Budget or inexpensive smartphone do you associate with something mediocre and of poor quality? We hope that our Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo review debunked this stereotype, since at its affordable price this device can be called productive and stylish modern smartphone. big screen, excellent color reproduction and brightness, ergonomics, the ability to use two SIM-cards, good processor, power-saving settings, a surprisingly decent camera - all this is on the side of this device. He will cope with any task, become a reliable assistant in any situation, and in terms of price / quality ratio is one of the most advantageous offers on the market.
