This is a new model. There are two versions. One is a dual SIM the other is not. Something tells me that Dtac is NOT offering the dual SIM model.

If I wouldn't already have an S3, the dual SIM model is the one I would buy.

Hi Gary,

The spec sheet on Dtac's wall said dual sim!

To me it looks like there are two versions, both of which support dual-SIM applications.

One version is 850/1900/2100 MHz 3G.

Another is 900/1900/2100 MHz 3G.

Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - SIM 1 only

HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100 - SIM 1 only

SIM Dual SIM (Mini-SIM, dual stand-by)

I'd venture to guess that DTAC is selling the 850/1900/2100 MHz version.

Also comes with a subsidized plan: http://www.dtac.co.th/en/device/samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-Grand.html

As in a knock off? Dtac selling fakes doesn't seem credible?!?

Note the screen specs, pretty low. That's probably a main reason for the low price.

480 x 800 pixels, 5.0 inches

For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen specs: 140.9 mm (5.5") HD Super AMOLED (1,280 x 720)

Hello,

Do you know any better DUAL SIM phone than Galaxy grand and mega ?

Thanks.

Look at all the other topics regarding i-mobile phones and even Oppo phones.

my Thai is not up to much, but the translator seems to say that it's decent spec..

Thank you, but Galaxy mega is shit compared to IQX and I am happy that someone in another thread told me.

What's an IQX ?

OK - checked with my friendly and unbiased mobile sales people and they tell me that the i-mobiles come back a lot for repairs under warranty and they have to go to the Jaymart shop in central BKK. Samsung come back much less and can be fixed at several Samsung service stations - one near me is Seacon Square..
