The Galaxy Grand i9082 DOES NOT feature a Gorilla Glass screen. Simple research on Samsung’s website and gsmarena.com tech specs would easily reveal that fact. Halatang tamad yung reporter.

Mukhang magandang backup fone ito, Dual-SIM na, 2100mah pa battery tapos dual core lang at mababa resolution-mababa specs ng GPU = long life smartphone good for backups and/or standby phone. pwede na..

The CM W500 Titan is actually a pretty good phone, with an almost unbeatable price …

Have you heard of the term PenTile display? That probably explains the obvious pixelation.
