Samsung India officially unveiled the Galaxy Grand DUOS yesterday and confirmed the smartphone w go on sale within the next few days.

However, major retailer Infibeam has just announced it’s the first to take orders for the Galaxy Grand DUOS. Other authorized resellers have the smartphone on pre-order, but all state it will arrive in stock in the first week of February.

Samsung Galaxy Grand DUOS is now available for purchase from Infibeam for only Rs 21,500 ($400/€300) outright. Check it out here.

Keep in mind that those who order the smartphone will also receive the “Introductory Grand Package” worth Rs 11,000 ($205/€155), which includes the following goodies: Samsung Flipcover, Music & Movies on Myservices, 50 GB Dropbox storage space.

Aside from the bonuses listed above, Infibeam also throws in free shipping to all customers in India who order the Samsung Galaxy Grand DUOS.

Aimed at emerging markets where dual-SIM connectivity is one of the most sought after features in a smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Grand DUOS brings some neat specs to Android fans.

For example, the smartphone ships with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box and packs a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz.

In addition, the Galaxy Grand DUOS embeds 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 64GB).

The only downside might be the fact that the huge 5-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen display only supports 480 x 800 pixels resolution.

Samsung Galaxy Grand DUOS boasts an 8-megapixel rear photo snapper with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, as well as a secondary 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls.

Design-wise, the handset strongly resembles the Galaxy S III, but it’s lightly bigger. For the time being only the white version of the phone is available for purchase, but Samsung is expected to bring the classic black-themed variant on the market as well.
