If this is an april fools' prank then I'd be pissed! But they wouldn't be that crazy and stupid pulling off an april fools' prank on the 10th now, would they? Thank God for that.

    They're already putting the full tablet, the Nexus 10's mighty internals inside the phablet category phone. O my.. Now I'd bet that when the Note 3 gets official, it would make even the S4 looks so outdated. It's not for everyone, of course. Not everyone can handle the overkill power and specs plus the mind blowing number of features, not to mention, the massive Super Amoled screen. But it would be just right for the likes of me.
    Hmm... The waiting...

          Firstly,If you have a problem with the Mega phablets,don't buy it!

          Stop moaning about what the phablets doesn't have....it's midrange devices afterall!I love the fact that there's quite a wide variety of Galaxy devices with different screen sizes.I love the Note 2,but it's quite expensive here in South Africa so I will definately go for the 5.8 or 6.3(I'll decide ocnce i've watched a hands on video on both phablets)

              Thank God these 2 new handsets have a relatively weak features. I am a galaxy note 2 owner and I am waiting for the galaxy note 3. It is expected to have a 5.8 inches display, which will be fair enough to me ( just 5.8, Not more than that, although I prefere the 5.5 inches).

                It's a midranger with a big hd display and cores that run the infamous Nexus 10 with it's 2K res display (are you f**king kidding me?!), the graphic power would be madness!!!. Now that's something that Samsung has never done before.
                And you people complaining about the size?! If you want tiny weak overpriced phones, go buy iphones!! Stop mocking this great offering! The iphone 5 screen resolution isn't even hd, just because the screen is small, it's ppi gets alot higher. But the processing power and graphic department? The overpriced iphone 5 falls short to this monster phone in the midrange category. So once again I tell you, stop bashing this amazing phone-tablet combo!! If I'm not waiting the Note 3 myself, I'd grab one of these in a blink!

                  If you don't like it, don't buy it.
                  Its a mini tablet with cellular function, and you can use Bluetooth to make calls you don't need to hold it to your ear, S Voice helps you to dial via Bluetooth.

                  And BTW there are huge people so this mini tablet is great and there are some people who travel all the time this mini tablet will make a great company like watching movies, browsing, games, reading stories PDF, ...etc.

                  This mini tablet has monster CPU/GPU Dual A15 Exynos + Mali604T and Samsung mentioned early about the compatibility with Samsung Game Pad to this device so it will be like Playstation Vita.

                  I know most of who complain here are Nokia fanboys and they are so jealous, they trying to make a bad vibe here, so go back to your Lumia which has 2010 specs.

                              What is the official size does a tablet start from ?

                              The Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Mega 5.8, Galaxy Mega 6.3 are all small tablets.

                              When I was in Barcelona, I went to the Samsung stand and the Galaxy Note was not sitting with its fellow phones, It was with the tablets.

                              When Samsung released the Galaxy Note, it was a big flop!!

                              The reason was the iPad 9.7 was dominating the market. So Samsung re marketed as a phone and the media called it a phablet.

                              So what's next for Samsung, Galaxy Mega 6.7?

                              Samsung are really over doing it now, there are way too many Galaxy devices.

                              Maybe next they will start on the milky way!!

                                This 6.3" phablet is awesome and perfect for me. Specs is good enough, nice looking. All the phone these days are look the same after they put on a cheap $5 dollars TPU case. Love Sammy who care about customers different taste. Waiting for price confirmation.

                                This phablet + game klip + Sony dual shock = ultimate game machine on the go.

                                      The Mega 6,3" model is quite nice. If it will be more affordable than S4, then it's a winner for sure. The design does look very familiar, but I'm not asking for a new design on each and every phone they make. Looks good to me. Specs are also great, and it could replace two gadgets(phone and tablet). Not a phone for everybody, but I'm looking forward to these two giants! Can't wait for prices!

                                        Since none of them packs an S-pen, nor a full HD screen, I guess this year will bring also an Note 3 phablet. Too big screens, too much phablets, too few ideas.
