However, buying a smartphone of this band is very often a risk , because it may proved unusable in daily use due to some limitations of the typical entry-level. We discover, in the Our review , if the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus is really good buy that purports to be.
Unboxing
Definitely Full the envelope of the package of Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus : we find the battery charger with current cable built, the Data Cable USB / micro-USB, manuals quick and headsets not in-ear, but rather treated.
Video review of Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus
In this section you can find our video showing aspects of daily use of this smart phone.
Hardware & amp; telephony

The multimedia sector sees a 5-megapixel main camera and a front-facing 2 , we also key physical home and the two soft-touch keys “multitasking” and “back” back -illuminati but devoid of vibration.

You can find more information on this smartphone by visiting the official website through this link. The Price to launch Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus was (absurd) € 169 , but it is now found easily around the 130/140 € and is available white and black.
Part Telephone & amp; antennas
Telephone Answer Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus stands average values as well as quality audio from the capsule headset that plays a sound powerful but a little ‘”mixed”; the other person perceives us good use regular telephone but we found some problems in using hands-free that is still little used in cars also because of the volume of the rear high. The reception of WiFi is not among the highest ever encountered, as well as speed fix satellite data from the GPS module in the event of a new location.
Ergonomics, Design & amp; materials
The ergonomics of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus is good Despite its size not reduced especially laterally; use with one hand is still possible and the grip of the back cover is sufficient. Aesthetically is a bit ‘stocky with high side frames and display a bit’ too hollow inside; It feels, well, a bit ‘that’ “pan effect” typical of devices with generous dimensions and, in addition, has been made a design not beautiful in general.
The materials are models and good quality , although not reaching the level of the higher-end terminals; construction then is flawless : you do not feel the slightest creak or uncertainty and only the edges of the home button give effect to the touch slightly “cutting edge”.
Display , audio & amp; Multimedia
The component undoubtedly the worst Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus is its display, a resolution of 800 × 480 pixels “spread” on a diagonal of 5 inches provides a density of 187 ppi, which are very inadequate for a smartphone of 2015; It will be impossible, for example, see our photos without annoying black grille above, even in normal distance of use. In addition, the viewing angles are rather scarce are as well as the level of contrast; the colors are reproduced perfectly and have a good tendency to yellow.
maximum brightness is not very high and, consequently, the visibility under the direct light of the sun does not It is the best; the lack of a brightness sensor completes the list of defects of this display. Glass, however, is sufficiently resistant to fingerprints and dirt.
The speaker Rear of Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus returns a audio quality media as well as the medium is the maximum volume; the bass is absent and the extension sound is not of the highest, however, the rear camera, slightly protruding, it contributes to avoid the attenuation of sound in the case of smartphone resting on a flat surface. This FM radio that works well and good playing from the headsets provided.
video player of this Samsung plays smoothly only MP4 format up to the maximum resolution of 1080p for all other formats, including DivX, readers are recommended alternative.
Camera
The photo sensor of Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus of course reflects the price range : very light shots are more than enough , but the sensor begins to suffer with poor ambient lighting – though not most of the competitors. The flash is very powerful and the digital noise is never excessive, speed of focusing and shooting are average for this segment and the front camera , with plenty of light, It is moreover sufficient; judge for yourself from the examples below.
The photo software of this Samsung is complete and functional : we find, for example, the settings for the type of focus and the resolution of photos and video; also there are some how as the scenic beauty of the face, or fully automatic; shame about the lack of HDR.
Video , filmed at most HD are poorly defined and not very stable, total the worst of photos ; However good the audio captured during the shooting.
Autonomy
The battery “only” 2100 mAh of Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus He can lead us to evening with average use / intense thanks to the low resolution of the display and the processor little “greedy” in terms of energy. In an emergency, we can rely on the now classic “ energy saving advanced” Samsung amending the interface and allows you to use only a few features of the smartphone, as well as turn the colors of the display grayscale .
Software
This version of TouchWiz that customizes Android KitKat (4.4.4) on the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus is obviously “lightened “compared to the one we find on higher-end handsets: we do not find the multiple feature” smart “typical of Samsung there are still certain quick gesture as the swipe of a contact to the left or right to call or send a SMS.
app pre-installed are thankfully kept to a minimum, helping to keep a good portion of free memory despite only 8 GB; we find the app for the Expo of Milan and the Galaxy App but is not present, for example, a music player in addition to the classic Play Music owner.
fluidity of the system despite some occasional mirco-lag is always good and has no blocks or excessive slowdowns during daily use. Also keyboard , unfortunately devoid of vibration and sound feed almost imperceptible, it is fast, accurate and responsive in almost all circumstances.
Web Browser
internet browsing from Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus proved to be a real surprise: speed is always good and even the best tourist heavy, there are particular problems of excessive timing for rendering; also there are excessive delays between touches of the fingers and the response of the browser.
Gaming
The ARM Mali-400 GPU that equips the Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus proved can handle even the most modern 3D titles , the frame rate is high enough, as well as the graphic detail; pity about the display that belittles the gaming experience. This smartphone also never suffers from excessive heating even during heavy use as it can be during the games.
In conclusion
Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo Plus is a smartphone without defects, the display first of all; However, no particular problem during daily use that lead to advise against the purchase. If we take a look at the competition in the same price range we find that the various Motorola Moto E, Huawei Y550 etc, are certainly not clean or well above.
The board is buy it only if the price at which you can not obtain it exceeds 130/140 € because, in higher numbers, then we enter the “kingdom” of the Moto G (first generation) which, objectively, is another matter entirely. As always, we leave to our votes.

Note: the votes are assigned partial trying to respect a scale that includes the largest number of devices on the market . The general vote is loose with the partial and indicates the overall judgment that we can assign to the terminal by giving different weights to the aspects we consider most important. (Ex: a smartphone that has an excellent camera, a great display and excellent materials, but that is unusable because they are too slow will the partial relative high, but a general vote low and vice versa).
