In video of grand vs mega 6.3 ........ grand look like small, tiny phone :laugh:

Thank you all for the answers, but I gave the Galaxy Grand Duos. Now I'm in doubt between the Xperia S and Optimus 4X HD. And the Galaxy Mega also seems to be a good competitor. It is unfortunate that in the country where I live, all these phones are very expensive

Where u live? And go for mega 5.8

After Gio, then what phone ? :)

Hello to all fellow Gio-ers, I just wanna ask u guys a question. Any phones that u guys might recommend, mid range- low range 3.5 inch ++ screen with front camera? Cos I might be changing phone soon as my contract expired. Also, shud I keep using android , or change to windows phone? Cos I've meddled with android for a while now. ( I can't afford ios, lol.) Any suggestions are absolutely welcome.

That depends, Grand resolution is quite low (480x800) on a 5 inch screen and don't have SAMOLED screen (Higher energy consumption + color looks dull compared to SAMOLED). But Grand offers dual SIM support GT-I9082 and screen is larger.
For S2+ 480x800 resolution is acceptable on a 4.3 inch screen and have a SAMOLED screen, which makes the color looks more vivid.
But if you upgrading from cheap phones like old Nokia 5800, Grand will be a good choice for you and you will not realize the screen is low-end. But from S3 to Grand, you will realize that's a huge downgrade, except Grand memory management is good. (Low RAM usage, but also depends on how many apps you have)

cm10.1 has good battery backup
i suggest don't!! Its low end as this section don't have more developers to get separate section! s2 plus is far better and gives rich feeling! @panda00 can give more information
Well... my dad owns a Galaxy Grand, and I own an S2 Plus. Had experiences with both phones... They're pretty much equal. The Grand has two things in its advantage... multiwindow, and a big screen. The S2 plus however, has a much sharper screen (Super AMOLED, much higher ppi too), NFC, and it's much cheaper! Also it is a better and more premium looking phone.
If you can save a few bucks and compromise external storage then buy a nexus 4

I used S2 too and I just bought Grand Duos so here's the reason.
Dual Sim (my main point of buying)
Big Screen (also my main point of buying)
Price
Longer battery
Better and louder sound output.
Well, I don't really playing games on it so can't give any comments on this but I do test a few high quality games and it works well too.
It depends on which games you play
Most HD games work good on grand

[Q] Is there a way to enable NFC on Grand Duos?

Hi Folks,
I saw a couple weeks a battery replacement for Grand Duos with the NFC enable. I'm a noob in terms about the tecnology, so I'm asking if with this battery we can somehow enable the NFC in the firmware???
Thanks
I guess it's not possible
Sent from my GT-I9082 using Tapatalk 2
NFC is a hardware feature. I9082 doesn't have the hardware to enable NFC communication. It has nothing to do with the battery.

Indianversion of grand dosent have support for nfc however samsung decided to include it in korean versione
NFC hardware just pairs with a compatible NFC device but the data is send via Wifi Direct only.
NFC hardware just pairs with both devices nothing else guys ... it sends the data via wifi direct.
Similar app is available on play store name "Fast File Transfer" it does the same ... sends any videos, games or music via wifi direct.
But one thing which I like about NFC is that it bypasses the authentication or pass key step to connect with devices ... just touching two nfc devices together connects them automatically.
But if one use NFC enebled speakers or smart tags then only its usefull ... other than that one can use fast file transfer app which does the same thing as NFC does while sending any data.
