It is nearly two years since Samsung released the Galaxy Grand Prime, and it appears the company is working on the 2016 version of the device. Reports have claimed that the South Korean technology giant may release the Grand Prime (2016) soon.
A new Samsung device with model number SM-G532, believed to be the Grand Prime (2016), has been spotted on Zauba, a website that tracks imports and exports in India. It sports a 5-inch display and comes with a price tag of Rs. 13,686 but it is not the final pricing.
