When compared with the Galaxy Grand 2, Neo has dominating16GB of internal memory over 8GB of Grand 2. This is the only new factor I’ve noticed in Grand Neo till now. The Neo comes with 1GB of RAM where as Grand 2 comes with 1.5GB of RAM.

The camera is another one to be considered. The rear camera of Neo is just of 5MP and of Grand 2’s is of 8MP. The front camera of Grand 2 is of 1.9MP where as the Neo’s is a VGA camera. So the camera of Neo is not that good as in Grand 2.

When compared with the both prices, Neo’s price is slightly lesser than Grand 2. Neo’s is going to available around Rs.19,000 where as the Galaxy Grand 2 is available for around Rs.23,000. If 500MB of RAM and 3 extra megapixels of camera costing nearly Rs.4,000 seems apt to you, go for Galaxy Grand 2 or else better to choose Galaxy Grand Neo.

That’s all I’ve said. The worth buying decision is yours. Share your thoughts in comments.
