Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 Review

Ever wonder keeping Smartphones higher than 5-inch screen within your Pocket? Then these devices from Samsung with 5.8 inches and 6.3 inches of screen size are for you. Read this whole article to find out the impressive features and specifications of Galaxy Mega 5.8. 

Galaxy Mega; the word itself tells that the devices are mega (Very Huge). After the successful launch of Galaxy S4, Samsung is coming with yet another series of Phablets with screen sizes above 5-inch. I would simply assume that, after the year 2013 had witnessed many 5-inch or higher inch Smartphones, everyone including myself will be aiming for large screen-sized Smartphones. 

Without wasting your time, let me get into the main topic. Scroll down for the specification and features of Galaxy Mega 5.8.

Display, Operating System and Processor

Galaxy Mega 5.8 is being packed with a 5.8 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen that delivers not very impressive screen resolution of 960 x 540 pixels and a pixel density of 190ppi. When many of the manufacturers launch their 5-inch Smartphones in either HD display with higher screen resolution, Galaxy Mega 5.8 does not deliver anything impressive about its display other than its screen size.

One of the greatest feature of this device is that, Galaxy Mega 5.8 is being running on the latest Android version available yet, which is none other than Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Even though no quad-core processor is being powered within this device, it delivers a dual-core processor that runs at a speed of 1.4GHz. But compared to many other manufacturers that are launching their latest Smartphones in quad-core processors only, Galaxy Mega 5.8 is going to be down in this field. But the device has got an impressive 1.5 GB of RAM that would assure you much greater performance and lag free experience. While similar range Smartphones are busy in launching their products with higher processor and with only a 1 GB of RAM, Galaxy Mega 5.8 delivering 1.5 GB of RAM is really an impressive feature.

Storage and Connectivity

The Galaxy Mega 5.8 being too big to hold even delivers an internal storage of 8 GB. If that is not just enough for your use, then as always Samsung even offers memory expandability through microSD card slot that can take up to 64 GB. Unlike many Smartphone manufacturers that used to deliver a limited storage capacity with no option for memory expandability that frustrates the consumers, Samsung is far better as it aways delivers memory card slots with all of its Smartphones. 

On the other hand Galaxy Mega 5.8 even features standard connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot, GPRS, EDGE etc. The device even owns Bluetooth v4.0 with A2DP. The optional dual SIM available as micro SIM slot and a dual-band are other connectivity options for Galaxy Mega 5.8.

Camera and Battery

While talking about the one of the most important feature of Galaxy Mega 5.8, it has got an impressive 8 MP rear camera along with a front facing VGA camera that shoots in 1.9 megapixels. Even though in these days an 8 megapixel camera is not very exciting and a 13 megapixel camera owned by high-end Smartphones like Galaxy S4 with lots of features delivered within the camera app is all that bothers, Galaxy Mega 5.8 managed to deliver better camera with many basic features including autofocus, touch to focus, geo-tagging, smile detection, LED flash etc. 

Yet another field to talk about is the battery. The battery powered under the hoods of Galaxy Mega 5.8 is i-Ion 2600 mAh battery. Since these days battery power is considered to be one among the most important part of Smartphones as many of the devices die out very soon, Galaxy Mega 5.8 with 2600 mAh battery is quite enough to keep the device alive for a long time as it is being powered with a dual-core processor.

Price and Availability

Galaxy Mega 5.8 along with its big brother 'Galaxy Mega 6.3' being announced back in April 2013 and successfully launched will be very soon available in your nearest retail shops. While the price tag of Galaxy Mega 5.8 is around Rs 25,000. There is no information regarding the release date of Galaxy Mega 6.3.
