Thankfully, the Galaxy Grand 2 runs Android 4.3 rather than the older versions that seem to be predominant on new phones even today. The bigger story though is Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, which is so extensive that there’s almost no visual similarity to stock Android anywhere.
It starts right from the lock screen. Notifications of unread calls and messages are front and centre, and all status bar icons are visible. You’ll see a burst of light and an animated lens flare towards the bottom, indicating which way you should swipe to unlock. As you swipe, the flare follows your finger. It’s a nice touch, though somewhat unnecessary.
