Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime: Top 5 competitors

We recently saw the nice Korean people at Samsung come up with a new mid-range device. This new device is called the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. The ‘Grand’ name makes it very obvious that it has got a large display. It features the new low end Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 64 bit chipset. Samsung has tried to make the selfie community happy with this device by offering a 5 megapixel camera on front. It has got a 5 inch display with qHD resolution. Rest of the device specifications are pretty average as well and nothing exactly pops out. The price of this device is around 15K and we think that at this price, it is taking up a tough fight. Here are some of its tough rivals at this price point.

Moto G 2^nd gen

The first generation Moto G was an excellent device which was available at really attractive price tag. It offered almost everything you would expect from a mid-range device. However the rivals were catching up and the device needed a refresh. Moreover there were some features that were missed on the device and to address them, came in the 2^nd generation Moto G. it has got a 5 inch 720p display which is impressive. Powering it is a Snapdragon 400 chipset with the quad core processor running at 1.2 GHz. It has got 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. The previous generation device didn’t come with a micro SD slot which put away many buyers. This time they have taken care of that and added a micro SD card slot.

This device continues to be a dual SIM device like the previous generation device. The primary camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels which is up from 5 megapixels of the previous generation device. The battery life continues to be just as impressive as the previous generation device. This is really a device worth considering instead of the grand prime for its lower price tag, better display and better design.

Asus Zenfone 5

This is another excellent device that we would like to recommend wholeheartedly against the Samsung’s entry in this segment. It runs an Intel chipset which posts excellent benchmarks scores. The display on the Zenfone 5 measures 5 inches and has 720p resolution. It has got 2 GB of RAM which is rare for a device of this class. The amount of RAM makes a significant difference in the performance of this device. The ZenUI running on this device takes up a fair bit of RAM but you don’t have to worry as you are still left with plenty of free RAM. The processor runs at a maximum clock speed of 1.6 GHz though we found that the minimum clock speed of this processor is very high. While this makes the device very quick and responsive, the battery life takes a hit. The device is available with 8 and 16 GB of storage along with micro SD card slot. The built quality is excellent and surpasses many devices in this class.

Micromax Canvas Nitro

This device was recently introduced by the Indian manufacturer and is quite an impressive one. Micromax has really covered great distances in terms of reliability and built quality. This device isn’t plasticky or cheap like the earlier devices. In fact it features a simple yet elegant design with a leather feel back like you would find on the Galaxy Note 3. It has got a very powerful octa core processor that manages to keep up with some high end chipsets when it comes to benchmark scores. It runs at a maximum clock speed of 1.7 GHz. It has got 2 GB of RAM and comes with 8 GB of internal storage. There is a micro SD card slot as well. The camera resolution is higher than the Samsung as it has got a 13 megapixel primary camera. And if you are more interested in the front camera, it has got a 5 megapixel sensor.

Nokia Lumia 730

If you are open to other operating system apart from android, this could be a very good choice. The Lumia 730 is successor to the impressive device Lumia 720. This is a considerably better device than the previous one and really worth considering if you are okay with windows phone. It has got a 4.7 inch 720p display making it reasonably crisp. The display is an OLED which means the high contrast ratio would really look great due to the abundance of black in windows environment. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It runs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with 1.2 GHz quad core processor. Coupled with this is 1 GB of RAM along with 8 GB of on-board storage. It gets an excellent 6.7 megapixel primary camera with Carl Zeiss optics. The camera has got a large sensor to shoot clear photos even in low light conditions. The front camera is also pretty impressive with a 5 megapixel sensor. It runs the latest version of windows phone operating system at WP 8.1. This new version brings in a lot of additions over the previous version of windows phone and also features the voice assistant Cortana.

Karbonn Titanium Octane Plus

This is another very powerful device that you should consider before the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. It comes with a 5 inch full HD display which offers vivid colours and excellent display quality. It has got an octa core processor running at 1.7 GHz and has got 2 GB of RAM. Internal storage is 16 GB and you get a micro SD card slot just in case 16 GB won’t do for you. The design of the device is attractive and it has got a slim profile making it easy to handle. The primary camera has a 16 megapixel sensor which will yield excellent pictures. If you want to shoot selfies, this one has got an 8 megapixel camera on the front.
