I think its a decent phone from sammy for the price considering it is carrying great camera in both front and rear as well as brand new SD 410 chip.. some might have disappointment with the resolution but i think its fine and one won't even notice that much unless somebody looks really really close..

Dat resolution though

Its nice and thin.
I like it.
Never bought a samsung phone before. I feel its overpiced.
What panel is the screen?

Considering its main competitors are lumia 730 ( around rs 15.5k)and that Xperia c3 ( around rs 20k), I'd say they have priced it perfectly. The sd410 is a great update.
If only Samsung provided a hd display, it could have been the perfect device..
( Moto, xiaomi have increased our expectations.)

Edit : The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime has a 5-inch TFT LCD display with a resolution of 960 x 540-pixels.

Guys the pricing is terrific. Has no competition at the moment. It has 4 A53 cores which are 64 bit.
It's a steal at this price.

HD or not, the first thing they need to do is tone down that bloated UI. unless they do it, S410 or S800, it'll end up giving customers the same poor experience.

one thing that i still fail to understand, why samsung can't place the volume and power button on one side. i have used a bunch of their phones and when i grab the phone with a single hand, and try pressing the volume button every time my palm would press the power button locking the phone. maybe i am not used to this kind of placement still looks odd.

But I think to utilise that 64 bit, you need atleast 2gb of ram. Plus, it's TouchWiz. So expecting a lot of Lag there.

i see, samdung finally trying to improve hardware wise. screen resolution is still a downer.

Grand series pricing going down with newer models. Next Grand model would be placed around 10k IMO

Still, atleast 1.5GB of RAM would have been a better choice.

This is first Samsung phone i liked. Screen should have 4.3 inch that way it can provide good enough sharpness without losing clarity.

They should have included 2GB RAM as Touchwiz is very heavy.

They want to learn the hard way. When they will loose all the customers like you and me, they will come to understand this. About time anyway.

Whats point of giving 64 bit processor? They are not going to push update within 3-6 months :lol:

Still good to see they are changing their design standards

May be the next S6 or wha ever it is called put sammy on the right track with it metal edges since sammy is surely going to face some problems with Note4 ie Cardgate issue

I don't really think cardgate is much of an issue and is nothing when compared to #bendgate.

Only a little thin paper can hardly manage to get into the gap. Apart from that, it's cool.

Watch unbox therapy videos for further confirmation.

ARMv8. 3yr down the line most apps/games or even android OS itself will remove support for ARMv7 and move to ARMv8 like ARMv6 was removed from support list a couple of year back.

Na,I doubt I see grand prime getting Android L a 1 month or 2 after Android M

Yeah I saw that and lately there is no news of such issue looks like Sammy fixed it ASAP.
