Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 review: one giant smartphone for mankind

Godzilla, Frankenstein's monster and Bigfoot are mythical creatures that don't exist (although you might dispute the latter). But now, an equally beastly

Huge screen, decent display quality ; Sensational battery life ; Good video capture ; Louder sound than on competing phones

One-handed operation nearly impossible ; Some GS4 features are missing

The Mega is a respectable mid-range device, but it's too large for anyone who wants to sometimes use their phone one-handed.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 review: Walking tall

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE; quad-band 3G with HSPA; LTE, 6.3" 16M-color 720p TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen; 233ppi, Android OS v4.2.2 Jelly Bean with TouchWiz UI, Dual-core 1.7GHz Krait CPU, Adreno 305 GPU; Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset, 1.5GB of RAM,...

Big, even for a phablet, Resolution on the low side for the screen size, Midrange performance, Design is a bit played out by now, No FM radio, Shared camera interface makes framing tricky

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 doesn't have a lot of competition - the good thing is it easily stands out, the bad is that the lack of devices might be due to the lack of potential buyers. Not that Samsung has ever been afraid of exploring uncharted...

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 preview: First look

Bigger than the Note but not as bright. Not saying anything. We wouldn't want to get this guy upset. So, careful with the F-word. And no, not phablet, obviously. Though at 8mm, the Samsung Galaxy Mega technically isn't fat.

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 is a bizarre breed - a mix of mid-range and high-end features, an unusually big screen and no promised market. We welcome the more affordable alternative to the Galaxy Note phablets, but we're not 100% sold on the size.

Samsung Galaxy Mega (Sprint)

Mega-size screen. Not-so-mega-size price. Long battery life. Sprint Spark LTE support

Display isn't full HD. Midrange performance. No features that take advantage of big screen

The Samsung Galaxy Mega isn't the biggest or fastest extra-large phablet, but it's one of the best values in its class and a solid choice for people who just can't get enough phone.

Samsung Galaxy Mega (AT&T)

The Samsung Galaxy Mega is both absurd and awesome. It has the largest screen of any smartphone in the U.S., and is a top Android-based pick on AT&T if you don't need the absolute latest cutting-edge components.

Mega-size screen. Not-so-mega-size price. Slim design. Tons of software features. Stellar battery life.

Display isn't full HD. Not the fastest gaming performance. Stereo speakers would have been better, given its size.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 review

For a phone that's all screen, you'd expect the enormous 6.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Mega to dazzle. It certainly joins mammoth smartphones like the Galaxy Note 2 , LG G2 , Huawei Ascend Mate , and Sony Xperia Z Ultra as an option for people who would...

Samsung's Galaxy Mega 6.3 has a great price, runs Android 4.2.2, and comes with an 8-megapixel camera and extras like a TV remote.

The phone's large size makes it unwieldy, and its screen resolution is too low for a phone this big.

Samsung's Galaxy Mega 6.3 is just about your only choice for a jumbo-screen phablet under $200, but those with more flexible budgets should consider a phone with a higher-resolution display.

AT&T Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 Review

As the AT&T iteration of the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 hits the market, there's a surprisingly accepting atmosphere for devices with displays of all sizes. Back in 2011 when the original Samsung Galaxy Note was introduced, it was considered daring - a...

The Samsung Galaxy Note 6.3 is not a tablet disguised as a smartphone, no matter how much it would appear to be one. Instead you’ve got a massive handset made for those users that have out-of-the-ordinary needs. Perhaps you’re professional basketball...

Review Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9200 Smartphone

Mega-sized and mega-good? Users who think that 5-inch smartphones

Very large and bright display; Great viewing angle stability; Many ways of operation; Ample wireless connectivity; Plenty of additional software included; Lots of accessories; Case doesn't get hot; Very good battery life

Not a lot of optional accessories; Operation can be confusing; System and 3D performance is just average; Comparatively low resolution; Case is not very sturdy

How many features Samsung carried over from the high-end Galaxy S4.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 Review

Galaxy Mega 6.3 Review | Samsung designed the Galaxy Mega 6.3 to provide a tablet experience in a smartphone form-factor, and this review covers the critical aspects of this phone.

if you want to carry a single device that provides “tablet-level” comfort and smartphone-level utility and reliability, the Galaxy Mega 6.3 ($530, street price) is the best such device today. Right now, the Galaxy Mega 6.3 is simply unchallenged in...

Samsung Galaxy Mega Preview

Samsung Galaxy Mega Preview | we got our hands on this yet to be released Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3, so here are our first impressions

We wouldn’t be surprised if in the future, Samsung would press harder in this category if the success is as great as the company hopes it will be. The Galaxy Mega may not be a “specs” phone, but in most cases, when it comes to large display...
