Just because a high end smartphone may be something that is out of the limits of your budget right now, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to settle for a low quality phone that is more affordable.
The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime in particular, has been rising in popularity, demonstrating that you can acquire an extremely responsive and durable phone, at an affordable rate. Here is an overview of what the Prime has to offer along with some advantages and disadvantages about the device.
Features
As technology advances, higher end smartphone are becoming more and more affordable. The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime in, consists of a large 5 inch qHD LCD screen with a resolution of (540 x 960) pixels, which can stream videos in 1080p.
