Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 Review

When the Note 2 was released people thought that who will buy such a big phone with 5.5 inch screen, but people accepted the note 2 after some time. It seems like Samsung is not willing to stop increasing the screen size of their Smartphones. With the 6.3 inch giant smartphone Galaxy Mega 6.3 they are just reaching the 7 inch tablet form factor. Well lets just see how this giant smartphone performs in our review.

Design and Hardware:
                                     The Galaxy Mega 6.3 is a big phone and is built by samsung in the same way as they build there other phones. The phone resembles a lot to the flagship Galaxy S4. It is build out of plastic and has the hyper-glace coating on it. The phone is surrounded by a metal rim. The power button is on the right, volume rocker on the left, 3.5mm headphone jack on the top and microUSB port on the bottom.

          The phone has a Dual-Core 1.7 Ghz processor, 8/16 GB storage along with 1.5 GB Ram. It also has a microSD card slot which supports up to 64 GB cards.

Display:
              As from the name the Galaxy Mega 6.3 has a huge 6.3" 720x1280 SC-LCD touchscreen giving a pixel density of 233ppi. The display has decent color representation and good viewing angles. The brightness is enough for good outdoor visibility.

Camera:
              The Galaxy Mega 6.3 has an 8 MP rear-facing and 1.9 MP front-facing Camera. The Camera is capable for shooting 1080p videos @30fps. The phone has the new camera interface similar to that found on the galaxy S4. It also brings the new smart camera modes. The camera takes good photos but some times the colors are over saturated and the indoor quality is just fine. The quality of camera is good for day to day usage.

Software and Interface:
                                       The phone runs on android 4.2.2 Jelly-Bean with Samsung's latest Touch-Wiz UI. The phone also has some features from the flagship(S4) such as smart-pause, air gestures etc. Samsung has also provided landscape mode for the interface thus making it convenient to use phone at any angle.

Performance:
                      The phone is powered by a 1.7 Ghz Dual-Core Krait processor which is surprisingly very good at performance. There is no lag while scrolling though the UI, apps run very well and when switching apps there is no lag. The phone performs almost all tasks smoothly. The browser loads the pages quickly and smoothly, pinching and zooming perform perfectly well. Thus we can say that the phone is very good in terms of performance. 

Pros:
  • Very Good Processing power
  • Light weigh and thin
  • Decent Camera performance
  • Large screen which is good for browsing web, watching movies and some other tasks.
Cons: 
  • Very difficult to carry
  • Impossible to use with single hand.

Final Thoughts:
                         At the end it can be concluded that Galaxy Mega 6.3 is a capable phone for performing almost all tasks. The only problem is that of the large screen size. If you want a big phone which is almost as big as a tablet and good performance or if you want a device smaller than a tablet but still big enough then Galaxy Mega 6.3 is a way to go.

Rating: 7.8/10
