Earlier today, an insider for SamMobile has sent in an official Android 4.2.2 test build for the Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos, offering a sneak preview of what's about to grace the owners of the dual-SIM mid-ranger.

So, straight to what's new – the more notable additions that are set for official release sometime this quarter include Day Dream mode, a transparent notification bar, the somewhat creepy Smart Stay feature and Page Buddy among other. Exempt from a refresh appears to be the camera – whether that changes by the official release is yet unknown. The chaps behind SamMobile also commented that performance-wise the device is handling itself much better.

A quick recap in case you're a little foggy on the specs sheet – the Grand Duos is a 5-inch TFT WVGA slate featuring a somewhat disappointing resolution of 480x800. Other notable internals include a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM, along with an 8MP snapper on the back.
