As expected, the Samsung Galaxy Grand is not the most compact device
you can find. At 143.5 x 76.9 x 9.6mm, it isn't the thinnest 5 incher
we've seen either, but it does hold decently well in-hand, and we're
happy that Samsung managed to keep the thickness below 10mm.
Weight-wise, the scales tip at 162g, which is relatively good for a device this size.
Design and build quality :~
The design takes after the design scheme first introduced with the
Galaxy S III, and the large screen size means you'll have a hard time
telling the device apart from, say, the Galaxy grand mobile.
The Galaxy Grand features a similar paintjob as what you'll see on
the other post-Galaxy S III Samsung devices, but it uses a slightly
different and somewhat more slippery to the touch plastic. It also
doesn't look quite as nice as the Galaxy Note II plastic, so we assume
Samsung employed it as some sort of cost-cutting measure.
Display
The Samsung Galaxy Grand uses a 5" capacitive touchscreen display of
480 x 800 pixels resolution. One huge knock against stretching such a
low resolution along this much screen estate is the pretty low pixel
density - 187 ppi to be exact.
