Apart from the company's plans for next year,
Samsung is also planning to release low-to-mid range
Android handsets in the emerging markets. With the
rising status of domestic tech vendors in countries
like India and China, Samsung has no choice but to
release affordable phones to step ahead in the mad
race for smartphone market share.
Recently, Samsung announced the coming of Galaxy
Grand 2, followed by release of a low-cost Android
handset: the Galaxy S Duos 2. Now, Samsung focused
blog, SamMobile has come with news regarding the
global release of Galaxy Grand Lite (GT-I9060).
The said phone is expected to debut at the Mobile
World Congress (MWC) early next year. The Galaxy
Grand Lite won't have high-end specs like the Galaxy
Grand 2; rather it will be more or less similar to the
existing Galaxy Grand .
Going by what SamMobile is claiming, the Galaxy
Grand Lite would have a 5-inch WVGA display having
a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. The phablet would
also include a 1.2GHz quad-core processor coupled
with 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal memory including
an option to expandable storage.
The phone is said to feature a 2,100mAh battery.
Early rumors suggest that the Android 4.2.2 Jelly
Bean comes out of the box. Since, the handset is not
coming later this year, so one should have at least
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, if not Android 4.4 Kitkat.
Moreover, the phone will have Dual SIM functionality,
though nothing much is known about the same.
The Galaxy Grand Lite is expected to have a mediocre
5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a VGA quality-
front facing camera. Reportedly, Samsung is in talks
with MediaTek to launch affordable lower mid range
handsets early next year.
South Korea's Samsung is the king, when it comes to
leading Indian smartphone market. Samsung currently
has 34 % market share in the Indian smartphone
market in Q3 2013, informs Canalys . The second
position is notched by domestic handset
manufacturer Micromax with 21 %.
