OK phone for the price
Phone owned for less than a year

Grand prime is an OK phone for it's price. It has a decent front and rear camera. It's durable and has good build quality despite that is made out of plastic. The display isn't that sharp and has washed out colours. Display temperature is very good. The battery lasts through a full day with heavier usage and a low brightnes set. It gets sometimes unresponsive but it gets through most of the tasks very fast.

Great Phone for people with a low budget!
Phone owned for less than a year

The Galaxy Grand Prime is modeled as a low end phone with decent specs. However, the LCD display quality could be improved. I could only get 420P in YouTube and other applications. This phone handles basic applications and daily usage with ease and is great for people who just browse and watch videos on their phones (Not for hardcore gamers). Where this phone shines is in its cost and LCD Size (5'). I got the phone for around C$215 Unlocked and it was definitely worth it for that price.

Galaxy Grand Prime is not worth it
Phone owned for less than a year

The phone is alright. But it lacks a good camera or battery nut the reception and text input are perfect. The build quality is alright with a mostly plastic build. It feels pretty cheap, so a case is needed, in my opinion. Gaming is ok. I ran light emulation using a MOGA controller and it worked perfectly. But games like Asphalt might not work as well with dropping frame rates. The call quality is decent at best. The back facing speaker is a little frustrating at times but the phone works well with earbuds or headphones in. Overall the Droid Turbo 2 or its predecessor are much better choices on a budget.
