The Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 is a smartphone manufactured by Samsung Electronics, officially unveiled on November 25, 2013 through Google Play.[2] It is powered by a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz alongside 1.5 GB of RAM. The device includes an internal storage capacity of 8 GB, which can be expanded up to an additional 64 GB using microSD cards. Connectivity options include support for both 2G and 3G cellular networks as well as Wi-Fi.
Pre-installed applications encompass Google Play Newsstand, Games, Music, Movies & TV, and Books. Navigation features incorporate both A-GPS and GLONASS, integrated with Google Maps for location services. Initially released with Android version 4.3 (Jelly Bean), the device received an over-the-air update on July 14, 2014 upgrading it to Android version 4.4.2 KitKat. Following this update, users reported several issues such as unexpected device restarts, frequent system freezes, System UI errors, and difficulties changing lock screen wallpapers. These problems have since been addressed in the latest K1 firmware release, which also introduced Samsung Knox security features.
