Let’s compare with Samsung’s Galaxy S2 in terms of hardware and software. Both phones have separate market of user’s but it’s worth to compare them.

Display

Where comes the screen then Galaxy S2 AMOLED screen is far better than Galaxy Grand. The most impressive parts of S2 was it’s 4.3 inches WVGA Super AMOLED Plus screen display. Though it looked little pale every time, picture quality was crisp and colours were vibrant. Grand’s 5 inch screen offers just 187 ppi which is just average.  Galaxy S2’s display offers same  resolution of 480 x 800 pixels with better 217ppi. AMOLED screen of S2 beats the Capacitive touchscreen of Grand. You could easily separate one pixel from another which confirms that the display is not up to the mark.

In spite of the fact, that both the phones have ‘plastic’ look, Grand carries premium look with itself which can not ignored. Galaxy Grand is little heavier to hold but it looks better in hands while comparing with S2.
One outstanding feature of S2 is it’s internal 16 GB memory as compared to Galaxy Grand 8 GB memory.
