I bought this phone a week back.
This one has given me an awesome experience till now.
I used to have a Galaxy Note earlier, and trust me, I feel this is faster and smoother than a Note.
I'm really flabbergasted as to how people write reviews without even using the device. Just don't go by the spec. Its screen spec might LOOK disappointing, but real time experience is not bad at all.
People have even compared this piece of art with a micromax. That itself is a ridiculous one. Someone has written that micromax has a better processor .? Dude, seriously .?
Micromax processor is a 1.2 GHz Quad Core. But it has been built on platform of a Cortex A7, which, even being a 1.2 GHz, will not be able to give a smooth experience.
Whereas, Galaxy Grand has been built on a latest platform with a 1.2 GHz, and hence, should serve the purpose more efficaciously.
And I personally would never tag myself with a Micromax, for now on that is. I have been hearing loads of complaints about the Micromax devices. They remain in the service station for more time than they remain with the customers is what I have heard too.
Its people's personal choice than. For a matter of 6k more, you get a Globally leading brand. I'd reckon, anyone and everyone to buy this phone.
And please, for future commentors, please write a review, only if you have actually used this device. Everybody knows the spec. You don't need to put redundancy here.
In love with my Galaxy Grand. :)

If Galaxy S III is out of your budget, please choose this awesome Galaxy Grand Display panel is LCD but output result normal different compare with S III, otherwise all are future is like S III.
Galaxy Grand is value for money.
Big future allocated in Galaxy Grand against value (price).

In the first look, the display is huge and it is very light to hold! From my experience, the pros are: Jellybean makes this phone function very interesting. Image clarity is good, but on zooming to maximum, the quality is not that great. Camera has a lot of effects and the front camera is also great. Generally, screen resolution is decent.. if you zoom in also, the quality is good. The sound quality is good, music output and voice calling is very pleasing. Very crisp sound on calls. As for the cons, the camera's zoom-in was a little poor and the processor makes it slow at times. Galaxy grand doesn't support usb host, no support for external pendrive.. would have been better if it could support S-pen too. The price is reasonable and I don't think there is any disappointing feature for its cost!

Had taken lot of time and comparisons before I finally made a decision to buy this phone for my wife. I had earlier booked Note II from Indiatimes but cancelled it as I didn't got the delivery on time and meanwhile Galaxy Grand launch was announced.
First Impression in Hand:
1. Looks pretty much like Note II, marginally smaller.
2. Screen / Display looks much sharper then my expectation (Though display is weak)
3. Profile is devoid of any edges, weight seemed appropriate for long use.
Advantages of Galaxy Grand:
1. 1.2 GHz Dual core + 1 GB is decent enough for most of popular gaming (Tried all versions of Angry Birds, Temple Run 2, Beach Buggy, email, FB, whatapp etc) and runs smooth with multiple applications running in parallel. There might be minor lag
2. Samsung software customizations, hardware sensors (I guess some 10+ sensors are inbuilt) do lot of magic for you and keeps you engaged (I read somewhere that features are same as Note II with trimmed hardware).
3. 5 Inch display is bright, gives you decent readeablility and mobility, I did not notice any pixelation of any form and viewing angles are ok.
4. Most IMP : Call Voice Quality very good and eliminates noice around, dialling and in call management is good.
5. Speaker output is loud, littlie bit on shrilly on high volume, Ear Phones are good but built quality is average.
6. Android JellyBeans is fast and moment you login with your GMail account you get instane access to all your content on Google Drive, Google+.
Cons:
1. Battery should have been better, Note II's 3100 Mh was the best fit. 2100 Mh drains in 4-5 hours with above average use in downloading, gaming, texting (Deducting 1 Star from the rating for same).
2. Flip Cover is looks fine but not a magnetic cover to switch off / on the display automatically when closed / open.
3. Price should have been around 17k or 18k max to compete with other lower brands and make it really pocketable (Financially :))
I would definitely recommed this phone, until someone has a tight budget, else should go for Micromax Canvas HD or Huawai Ascent.
