The Galaxy Grand did well in the Kenyan market largely due to its great features and affordable price. Its success might have inspired Samsung to release its second iteration, the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2.

The Grand 2 comes Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean), 5.25 inch (1280 x 720 pixels) screen, 8 Megapixel back camera (3264 x 2448 pixels) with autofocus & LED flash.
