It could fall into the "just right" spot for many users who want something with a generous screen that isn't quite the size of a dinner tray. At 8.6mm thick the Grand Prime is by no means chubby, but I still found myself wishing it were a bit slimmer. The side edges are curved just enough where they meet the back surface to help the phone sit a wee bit deeper in your palm. It should fit most pockets without issue.
Samsung's mid-range handset mimics some of the company's classier designs and offers a respectable value for Cricket Wireless customers.Here is Phone Scoop's full report on this Android handset.
The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime is an inexpensive handset that lands in the middle of Cricket Wireless' roster of phones.The Grand Prime is for those who want more than an entry-level handset, but don't want to shell out big bucks for today's top-of-the-line flagships.It has a balanced price-for-features equation that should work for many people.The Galaxy Grand Prime is no Galaxy S6.The two smartphones may share some genetics, but the Grand Prime is clearly from the company's lesser bloodlines.It's Uncle Fester to Gomez Addams.The Prime could easily be mistaken meizu mx4 pro for one of a dozen phones from Samsung's lineup over the last few years.
Still, Samsung was sure to give it a touch of class so it won't be labeled the frump of the family.The Grand Prime will surely catch your eye thanks to an (over?) abundance of chrome accents.Light reflects off the darned thing at pretty much every angle.The side edges of the phone have a silver-colored finish, and the chamfered edges have a bright shine to them.The effect isn't dissimilar to the Galaxy Note 4 or Galaxy Alpha, but the look is much cheaper. The edges encircle the glass face with a metallic-looking frame that's always noticeable.
As is common to Samsung handsets, the earpiece is covered with a chrome grille.The home button and camera module have chrome accents, as well.Heck, even the flash has a chrome accent.The rest of the Grand Prime -- front and back surfaces -- are white.The Grand Prime is a large smartphone thanks to the 5-inch screen, though not quite broaching phablet territory.It has rather squarish shoulders that contribute to its blocky look.
I found it mostly comfortable to hold and use.
