Flashback: the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3, the phone that was larger than the Galaxy Note

27 September 2020
It was larger than just about anything back in 2013 that wasn't a tablet, in fact. 

Sort by:

Uh... Didn't the 6.3 actually has a quad-core Snapdragon 400 while 5.8 has a dual-core Broadcom chip?

    I remember the Mega from 2013. Might as well call it The Meg like the shark movie from two years ago.

    The Galaxy Mega was huge back then and would be considered normal now. Then again, the first Galaxy Note in 2011 was huge to us and looks quite normal today.

      I want more phones like that. Actual large screen, not just a long and narrow one like most phones today. Most types of content (documents, photos, videos, websites) fit 16:9 much better than the modern smartphone screen proportions.

            Had one, great screen and cameras. Very good speaker. Even if it was really big and heavy, i kept it for a few years, loved it. Huge screen to look at pictures and movies. Gave it to my girlfriend, but she broke it after a few days...girls just don't care.

                  I found the phone so humongous and ugly at the time, that I decided to get one just to have one. It looked weird to make a phonecall on it.

                    I wonder how much difference is there in surface area of a 16:9 6.4 inch display vs a modern 20:9 6.4 inch display.
