The user manual (PDF)

for the Galaxy Grand 2 LTE has been uploaded to the Samsung site, plus SAR search information shows both the G7105 and G7105L. It appears that the model number ending in L hasn’t yet been tested so it’s likely to be a carrier-specific option.

A glance through the user manual reveals most specs are the same although the chipset is likely to have changed but this isn’t detailed. Usual Galaxy Grand 2 specs include a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 5.25-inch display with resolution of 1280 x 720, 1.5GB of RAM and an 8-megapixel rear camera. It runs the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system.
