The Grand will ship with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system and will be running Samsung’s TouchWiz interface. It will also include S Voice, multi window mode; Direct Call, AllShare Play, Smart Alert, Popup Play and all the Samsung Hubs. So you can enjoy multitasking and run multiple apps simultaneously and without switching screens using Multi Window feature.
Samsung’s latest 5-inch Android smartphone will be available in both single (GT-I9080) and dual SIM (GT-I9082) versions so that consumers can easily switch between tariffs with just one touch to stay on the most cost effective plan. Per press release, the Dual SIM version (GT-I9082) will launch first and the single SIM version (GT-I9080) will follow.
