Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 review: Medium extra large

07 June 2013
Screen size. Just like last year was the year of the multi-core processor, 2013 is surely the year of the big screen. There was a time when 5 inches of diagonal were considered overkill, but with every major brand now flaunting a full-HD five-incher...

These were better times. Big, wide phones fit for content consumption instead doom scrolling. So many unique and interesting devices were made in these years.

          This phone is CRAP, don't buy it, you cant update to the latest android version and no one at Samsung will even answer emails.

                    It has been three months and I have to say that this is a great phone. Screen is good enough for comfortable viewing and heavy game titles like MC4 runs smoothly (though some graphical elements are missing due to the crappy Broadcom VideoCore 4 GPU but the sheer size of the phone makes up for it). The interface is slippery like butter as long as power savings mode is off. This is in my opinion the best branded budget giant phone available in the market.

                      Usrs for fhis phone is whi surfs Internet read articles, and fun stuffs for the same want little bigger screen to call it as phablet. Runs smooth no bug this is fron 10 month exeperience. Photo quality comes good.accesories are available. Compatible with printers,and similar other gadgets also samsung gear. Only disadvantage is it dont own a name as note 2.
