The powerful budget handset boasts a beautiful visual experience with its 5.25-inch HD display and performs much better than the qHD display featured with Grand Prime 4G. Whether you’re watching a full-HD video or playing a high-end game, Grand Max will deliver best viewing experience with rich color rendering and better contrasts. It features higher pixel density, and shows fine details with no color shifts.

Samsung has powered this duo with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 410 processor with four cores clocked at 1.2GHz, paired with Adreno 306 GPU.

Whether its low light or daylight, its image production stays right on the mark!

The textured beauty from Samsung ships with 16 gigs of inbuilt storage, and offers much more room than Grand Prime 4G shipping with mere 8GB of internal storage. The memory on both phones is expandable up to 64 gigs, but with double internal memory, Grand Max stands as a better options for gaming and music-freaks.
