Conclusion:
With 11% slimmer and 28% lighter the Samsung Galaxy SII‘s sleek and light weighted design gives a sober and trendy look and is easier to handle and carry when compared to Samsung Galaxy Grand,
however the 5 inched device might give a better surfing and video
experience but we feel the 4.3 inched super ALMOED doesnt let this
device make a bigger one. The Processor, Internal Memory, HDMI, DLNA
stll proves the giant beast Samsung Galaxy SII way better then the
latest phablet Samsung Galaxy Grand. However the two devices are
currently available in the same price range in the market with Samsung
Galaxy SII slightly more expensive then Samsung Galaxy Grand, the price
diffrence between the two seems legit and clearly we feel the formal
flagship is somewhere better then the latest release.
