Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos I9082 Review AND PRICE IN PAKISTAN

join us on facebook for more detail

t’s not easy finding a high-end dual-SIM phone from a top-tier manufacturer. The only one available in the market until recently was the HTC Desire SV, which is a well-designed and built handset with an impressive spec sheet but is heavily crippled in the multimedia department due to its chipset. This leaves the playground wide open for the just launched Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos, which has been making a lot of noise in the market. We quite liked it when we first saw it, and now it’s time to put it through our gruelling tests to see if it manages to come through unscathed. 

Design and build :

The Grand Duos looks like a clone of the Note II, but with the finish and build of the S III. The phone seems a bit chunkier than the Note II and that chrome trim around the edge will wear off with time, so it’s better if you use a cover with it. The finish of the plastics is more akin to the Galaxy S III. The rear cover has a fine mosaic-like pattern which actually manages to mask most of your fingerprints. However, it does scratch easily if you’re not careful with your usage. The same goes for the chrome trim.
 The Grand Duos feels strong and durable but is on the thicker side at 9.6 mm and quite heavy as well at 162 g. Just like the other Galaxy handsets, we have all the sensors lined up along with the front facing 2MP camera. The 5-inch display takes up most of the space in the front with a thin bezel on either side.Underneath the rear cover, we have the two GSM SIM card slots and a microSD card slot. Samsung also bundles along a separate rear cover with a flip-style screen protector. Other than the fact that it’s a bit on the thicker side, the Grand Duos has a very good build quality and even looks very striking.

Features
Interface
When Samsung first announced the Grand Duos, there was a lot of cry about the low resolution display. Even we thought back then that this would be the Achilles’ Heel of the handset. As it turns out, the 480 x 800 resolution is not completely terrible and other than a slightly larger set of icons, it’s not bad at all. The display is a standard TFT LCD, but a good one, so the viewing angles and colour reproduction is very good. The phone runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean along with TouchWiz and the two seem to get along just fine. The UI is fluid just like it is on the Note II, all the new features introduced in it and the S III – Multi-window, Pop-up play, Smart Stay, S Voice and a whole fleet of motion based gestures – are present here.The fluidity of the interface can be attributed to the spiffy ARM Coretex-A9 MPCore SoC under the hood. This consists of a dual-core CPU running at 1.2GHz each along with 1GB of RAM. The SoC also has support for NEON video decoding extensions and ARM TrustZone technology, amongst others. The GPU is not the typical Adreno or Mali chipset but is a Broadcom Video Core IV. Thanks to the low resolution screen, this GPU manages to pump out very similar performance to the GPU in the Note II. NenaMark 2 benchmark recorded a similar 58FPS and this is also reflected in actual games. For instance, Temple Run 2 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted run smoothly without any issues.

Media
The Grand may lack the famed Wolfson audio chip, but this hasn’t stopped Samsung from delivering a really good media experience. We’ve talked about the new media player at length in our Galaxy Note II review, so we won’t go too much into detail about it here. Audio quality is pretty good through the headphones as well as the rear speaker. The volume level is good and movies and music are enjoyable on the big screen. The video player is very functional and supports most formats including AVI and MKV. Full HD 1080p playback is also flawless. You even get a screenshot feature along with the option to tag your friends in the video, edit it or even set a timer to switch it off automatically.

Connectivity
The Grand Duos is a quad-band GSM handset with tri-band 3G support. You also get dual-band Wi-Fi with hotspot capabilities and Wi-Fi Direct, GPS with A-GPS support and GLONASS, DLNA, external storage of up to 64GB, Bluetooth 4.0, which should cover all your basic connectivity options. TV-out and NFC seem to be missing, but we doubt it will be missed much. Dual-SIM management is also handled well. You have the option of dual standby for the SIM cards and also configure which SIM should use 3G packet data.The stock keyboard works well and in split-screen mode, you get a "floating keyboard" so that you can position anywhere on the screen while using both of the opened apps. One-sided keyboard operation is not present since the screen isn’t that big and the resolution is quite low. Browsing through image heavy websites didn’t pose problems of any kind, as panning and zooming is smooth and lag free.
Camera
The Galaxy Grand seems to have the same sensor we had in the Galaxy S II. The 8MP sensor is accompanied by an LED flash and is assisted by the multitude of tweaking options we saw in the Note II and the S III. Burst mode has been left out though, possibly due to the lack of processing power. Outdoor shots come out really well with good detail and accurate colour capture. Indoors is also pretty good with very little noise creeping in. The Grand manages macros very well, too, with a good helping of depth of field. Video recording maxes out at 1080p and you have the option of adding filers as well.The front-facing camera is strictly average in terms of quality and the video recording mazes out at 480p.
Battery life
The 2100mAh battery puts on a very good show as the Galaxy Grand ran for nearly 8-hours and 40-minutes in our video drain test. This is very good if you watch videos a lot on the move. The battery life will be lesser when both SIMs are active, but even so, we feel you should easily be able to pull off around 16-hours of actual usage.

In a time when 5 inch screens are all the rage, the Galaxy Grand is Samsung's attempt to cater to every possible taste (and budget) when it comes to smartphones. While the Grand doesn't feature the 1080p screen that recent 5" flagships come with, nor the raw horsepower of the Galaxy Note II, it still has sheer size running for it. If you want a big screen at a low price, the Grand is the one to consider.

BlackBerry Z10 compared to SGS3, iPhone 5, Lumia 820 (photo)

How does the new BlackBerry Z10 compare to the competition? We decided to put the Z10 up against the Samsung Galaxy S3, the iPhone 5, and the Nokia Lumia 820 to help you get an idea of the size of the device compared to others. As you can see the Z10 sits in the middle in terms of size. It isn't as big as the SGS3, but certainly bigger than the iPhone 5, and around the same size as the Lumia 820. On the width front, however, the iPhone 5 is noticeably thinner. 

On paper things shape up like this: the BlackBerry Z10 is 130 x 65 x 9mm, the iPhone 5 is 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6mm, the SGS3 is 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6mm and finally the Lumia 820 sizes up at 123.8 x 68.5 x 9.9mm.In terms of screen size, that's slightly worrying. The iPhone 5 is the smallest of the bunch with a 4-inch screen, while the SGS3 is the biggest with a 4.6-inch display. The Nokia Lumia 820 has a 4.3-inch scree. The BB Z10 sits in the middle with a 4.2-inch screen.

As for how the devices compare in performance, we'll break that down a little more after we've had more time to play them off against each other.

Apple iMac 27-inch (2012) review

There are two iMac sizes available in the newly refreshed late-2012 line with the 27-inch positioning itself as the powerful big daddy of the two. While the 21.5-inch model we've recently played with suggested itself as a kitchen computer, to be shared among the family in a communal space, the 27-inch iMac is all about getting your work done.

This is an office machine through and through, and geared towards delivering an experience that is better than a laptop, albeit not as powerful as Apple's Mac Pro range.

So can it deliver, or has the introduction of a new shape and a few other changes along the way damaged the overall experience? We’ve been using one in the Pocket-lint office to find out.

Design
It's thin, really thin, and that's the first thing you'll notice if you glance at the new iMac from the side or the rear. Apple has ditched the optical disk drive and with it the need for a big and bulky chassis to house everything.

The design, which is tapered at the back, starts off with a 5mm thick edge, before getting gradually more bulbous as it heads towards the centre of the casing, and the stand on which it floats. Not that bulbous is anything to worry about here, because it's still stunning. The actual footfall of the new iMac on your desk is minimal too, even if you include the bundled wireless keyboard and mouse.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 review

The explosion of Windows 8 devices has seen manufacturers delivering all kinds of laptops with plenty of different takes on touchscreen integration. We've seen dual screens, tablets with removable keyboard docks, rotating screens and - in the case of the Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 11 - a single screen wich, as its flexy name suggests, can bend right back over itself through a full 360-degree rotation into a flat, tablet-like position.

This means the Yoga 11 can be arranged like a standard laptop, a tablet - albeit with a temporarily defunct keyboard to the rear - or any other functional position in between. It avoids the "floppy" screen of a keyboard dock, and doesn't require a separate stand to hold into any given position.

Of all the options out there, we think the Lenovo Yoga 11 makes a lot of sense in practice, but with a £700 price tag for a Windows RT-only machine, is it worth bending over backwards to buy one, or is that price point just too much of a back-breaker?

Windows RT only

If you're in the market for a new laptop then a variety of Windows 8 devices will inevitably have made their way to your shortlist. But with Windows 8 you'll need to do a little extra research to ensure you're getting exactly what you want,. The latest Microsoft operating system comes in multiple forms, and in the case of the Yoga 11 it's the simpler, "Modern" app store only version, known as Windows RT, that comes loaded on the machine. In short that means no legacy apps - things like Adobe Photoshop, for example - can be installed, nor does the machine have the premium power to deliver truly top-spec performance.

READ: What Is Windows RT? Everything You Need To Know

However, the Ideapad Yoga family does include the larger and more powerful 13-inch Ideapad Yoga 13 which comes loaded with the full version of Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro. It costs more, but it might be the more appropriate purchase for you and delivers a more thorough laptop experience.

Still, the Yoga 11 sits in its own camp. Think of it as a Microsoft Surface competitor in many respects, lent more firmly towards the laptop angle, and you're on the right track.

READ: Microsoft Surface RT review

Design

The orange-shelled Yoga 11 that landed in the Pocket-lint offices for review sure does look striking. Orange might sound a bit of an over-the-top colour, but we think it's a bright shade that's on the right side of smart; it's sharp but not over-vibrant.But the Ideapad Yoga 11's main point of interest is its 360-degree tilting screen. Out of the box and it may look like any standard laptop: the screen folds flat, screen-down, or looks normal when opened into the regular laptop position too. But push the Yoga 11's screen back that bit further and it will keep on going… and going. It folds right around so that the rear of the screen touches the base of the machine; the keyboard area then becomes the new base, and, voila, the Yoga 11 takes on its tablet-like position.This is all achieved by some nifty double-folding hinges that don't really look like anything unusual from the outside. But that's part of the Yoga 11's beauty - it hides away the apparent wizardry to make for a seamless, integrated user experience that just works. No mess, no nonsense.

The Yoga 11's touchscreen control needn't be used when in its laptop-like positions, but obviously can be if that's the preferred method of control. Unlike tablets with added keyboard docks that can't sit comfortably in the lap at unusual angles, the Yoga 11's firm hinges will hold in any given position. It's ideal for use at a desk, on the go, or pretty much anywhere.As we've mentioned, Windows RT means no legacy software can be installed on the Yoga 11. That'll suit some, less others.

As per other RT devices, which run the "light" 32-bit rather than a full-on 64-bit operating system, the power is reasonable, but limited. It suits its purpose, which serves well for the included suite of Microsoft Office programs that come included, as well as the variety of tile-based app centres from the face of the software.
