When it comes to manufacturing Android phones with the most amazing features, Samsung stole the show with its Galaxy S7 Edge. But, the company also tries to provide maximum features in a single device within affordable price to make it accessible to every Android lover. Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Plus is one such device that comes in a wide range of colors along with the sleek design and powerful processor, all that in a much lower price. You can also explore latest prices of Samsung smartphones in the same specifications bracket.
Just like its predecessor Galaxy Grand Prime, the Prime Plus has quite simple parameters. It is equipped with a 5 inch IPS display that comes with the resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. It also offers a comfortable holding experience which does not let the unit slip from your hand. All the home, volume, and power buttons are there just like every other Samsung phone, so we cannot see any innovation in the design. The phone comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microUSB v2.0 USB port for charging.

The processor in Grand Prime Plus is only a little bit better than the Grand Prime, i.e. from 1.2 GHz to 1.3GHz that relies on MediaTek MT6737T chipset. Moreover, RAM has also seen an increase from 1GB to 1.5GB with 8GB ROM. The marginally faster processor and more RAM lets you play heavy games without slowing down the speed.
Grand Prime Plus is also equipped with the TouchWiz UI’s latest version. Which, along with the increased RAM, allows users to enjoy an immersive multimedia experience. However, the mobile phone lacks behind the competition in backup time with 2600mAh battery that may only last a full day with light to moderate usage.
It is important here to consider the price in which Prime Plus is introduced in the market. It comes with a decent 8-megapixel camera, which captures the best pictures that you can expect in this price category. The front of the device packs a 5-megapixel selfie shooter to let you take crisp photos in broad daylight. The rear camera may lose focus when zoomed in and pixels also explode. The camera also has few filters to have fun, such as Slim Face, Skin Tone, and Larger Eyes.
