There’s a growing trend among smartphone manufacturers these days and it deals with the selfie phenomenon. Selfies are very popular and many customers who go out in the market for a new smartphone look for one that has a good front camera, which is why many manufacturers have been coming out with their “selfie-phones.” Samsung appears to be doing the same with the Galaxy Grand Prime, photos of which have appeared online today.
Rumor has it that the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime is going to have a 5-inch qHD resolution display, a Snapdragon 400 processor from Qualcomm coupled with 1GB of RAM and Android 4.4 KitKat. It is rumored to have an 8 megapixel rear camera with 1080p video capture ability as well as a 5 megapixel front camera.
That might not seem like much but consider the front camera’s improvement over Galaxy Grand Prime’s predecessors, which stuck with 2 megapixel front shooters, and it becomes evident which crowed Samsung is targeted with this new device.
Dual-SIM functionality with 3G, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi a/b/g/n are all rumored to be onboard this device. MicroSD card support along with 8GB of internal storage has also been rumored. The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime will reportedly be launched first in Vietnam next month before eventually being introduced in other markets.
