The difference between the thickness of Grand and Grand 2 is, however, noticeable. Grand 2 is thinner by little less than 1mm. It is still chunky at 8.9mm compared to a device like Lenovo Vibe X. But compared to Grand, the lack of extra flab makes Grand 2 look better.
In terms of design, Grand 2 does not differ from the Samsung’s recent Galaxy phones. It follows the same pattern - rounded corners, one physical home button, touch-sensitive menu and back buttons, the camera module in the middle of the back cover with LED flash on the left and speaker holes on the right. It is a familiar design and hence a little boring but it works well.
