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...

I can slip in my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (with it's leather flip case) on my jean back pocket & it's just a normal jean. Not some crazy extra big jeans that u imagined. BTW, I am a tiny built guy. Not Hulk Hogan. So, what u talking here????

                "Big, even for a phablet"

                But not for a tabone.

                  Samsung is bundling Jeans with extra large pockets with the phone......on a serious note(no pun intended) would only comment on it being toooo large until i see one

                          [deleted post]Thats a big lie, where did you hear this? But i do agree though, that aluminum is not very suitable for cellphones. The polyamide used in Xperia Z is something other manufacturers surely will copy, and maybe even improve upon. Cheap plastic variations with processed surfaces will also be more common i hope, like the back of Xperia J (a cheap low end phone that does not at all feel cheap in the hand thanks to good choice of materials).

                              i've been eyeing on some 7" tablets, but all of them has non-removable battery, and i hate that.
                              so i guess, this Galaxy Mega could be a good alternative.
                              i can't wait till it become available in my country.

                                    should cost the same as galaxy s3 mini to make it worthed

                                      so the Galaxy S4 mini will have the same chip set and RAM but will be even faster with its smaller screen and lower resolution. amazing to think that the dual core 1.7gh snapdragon 400 is pretty much even with the GALAXY S3's QUAD CORE 1.4gh from just a year ago. Huge step-up in power from the A9 processors! The Galaxy S4 mini will have slightly better benchmarks than this.. making it a very powerful 4.3" device. Tempting for lots of people since it will be more powerful than even the iPhone 5 and its only the mini S4 lol

                                        I really admire how samsung caters to everyone. They have top phones and mid phone and low phones for everyone. Thank you!
