Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2

Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 has slightly better
features than its predecessor - the Samsung
Galaxy S Duos, but it still looks pale in the sea
of cheap quad core phones from Indian and
Chinese brands.

Samsung has silently made available its Galaxy
S Duos 2 in India for Rs 10,790. Its
predecessor, the Galaxy S Duos, too is selling
for around Rs 10000.
