Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 review: Walking tall

16 June 2013
Many – including this website – have complained that only big phones have high-end specs. But there's a flip side to this argument – it's hard to find a big phone with mid-range specs. That's where Samsung's new Galaxy Mega 6.3 comes in...

FYI, SGM 6.3 & SGN 2 is different. Here in my country, SGM 6.3 is cost USD 120-150 less than SGN 2. I personally now use SGM 6.3. It's just a mid-ranger phablet with very compact size compare with my previous SGt 2 7.0. At first I felt quite regret to have this SGM 6.3. But now I think I can lived with it. Especially I bought it for about USD 400.00 only

    AnonD-173517, 09 Aug 2013thank you.which is better?mega 6.3 or note II?Hey Guy, what do you means by 'which is better ',which wayS you want? battery life? Performance? Resolution? Features?
    If you want a nature display color go for Mega .
    If you want a mid-cost go for Mega .
    If want a experience like holding a tablet, go for Mega.
    If you want a design and some features :Airs view ,sound aand shot and so-on ,same like s4, go for Mega .(Note 2 also has Air View with S-Pen )
    If you want to use a phone to web browse, FB, twitter, line and wechat like that categories go for Mega, because Mega has dual-core processor, meanwhile Note 2 has quad-core processor, note 2 will performance better in gaming and multi-windows and so-on camparing with Mega.

    If you want a nice resolution, beautiful colors display,higher ppi, go for Note 2.
    If You like creative go for Note 2 with nice, more features S-Pen
    If you want to use a phone in various style (not including swim style, you know what I means ) like gaming, surfing web, and so -on ,go for Note 2
    If you don't care about the money limit go for Note 2 .

    Camera and loudspeaker performance on both devices are similar, hard to say which one is better. You need to check it yourself .

    If you want whole experiences like s4 ,give some times to wait the Brand New Note 3 , it will be launch in september 2013 and maybe sale after September 2013.

    Last,can't say which products is best, because they are design to each categories, So, choose a smartphone to match you life ,make your life brilliant .

    Hope my answer will settle you question .Thanks

If consumers buy into bigger screens I believe samsung will come up with better models after the first. It may be more expensive too.

                The other reason I can think of is probably to avoid cannibalising the sales of their S4 and Note series.

                      I really want to buy this behemoth, but the problems is: why did Samsung downgraded and featured the same specs for newest gadgets alot of things?
                      Dual- Core Snapdragon 400 (1.7 GHz is better, but it will become a beast with Quad Core); 1.5 GB RAM (instead of 2 GB); HD LCD (better than AMOLED, because its more saturated);
                      6.3 inch (Giant Screen, More Fun)...
                      I prefer Galaxy Note III, that is expected to be released on August...
                      or i could buy 1 Mega 6.3 and Note III (if it was confirmed and released)
