Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 review (video)

It seems as if Samsung is on a quest to offer a smartphone in just about every size. While many don't like big phones like the Note 2, Samsung decided to go even further with the Galaxy Mega 5.8, the little brother of the Galaxy Mega 6.3, which is easily one of the largest smartphones on the market.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8

Once upon a time, in the dawn of the smartphone era, around 2010, a 3.5-inch device was considered to be the ideal size for a smartphone and there were talks of what the Dell Streak could and couldn't do as the next-gen smartphone.
Pros:
  • Good camera
  • Smooth interface
  • Slew of Samsung preloaded apps
Cons:
  • Lacklustre display
  • Low performance when compared to other phones in the same price range
  • Lags during heavy gaming

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 Review

The Samsung Galaxy Mega line was introduced by Samsung recently, and we've had one to play with since the early days June 2013. At first, it's a bit intriguing to see that Samsung has introduced a large display smartphone that has much lower specifications than its flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone.

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is a part of Samsung's two pronged approach to capture the audience looking for a device even bigger than the 5.5inch Note 2 but smaller than a tablet. Targeting the 5.8 inch and 6.3 inch segments, Samsung now has handsets at practically every screen size.
Pros:
  • Decent camera
  • Great battery life
  • Dual SIM
Cons:
  • Too big
  • Low resolution screen
  • Average performance
  • Price

Its huge 5.8 inch screen has the wow factor but fails to provide the kind of performance that one would expect from a device priced above Rs 20,000. When you are in the No 1 position, expectations are bound to increase and everything you do would be considered as the benchmark.
Pros:
  • Big Display
  • Intuitive User Interface
  • Camera
Cons:
  • Erratic touch response
  • Slow
  • Price

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8

Based on the specifications this device is clearly designed for a purpose and that is getting to a two in one solution. It is a compromise between phone and tablet with a very big screen and less emphasis on screen resolution and some of the fancy features in top end phones and strong processing.
Pros:
  • Very big and good screen with the latest Android
Cons:
  • Size is very big for some which impacts persons' mobility

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 Review -...

Samsung has gone and done it now. We ridiculed phablets that would beyond 5.5 inches in their display, wondering what the point was in having a device really never felt like either a tablet or smartphone.

Great!

It's a great phone. It's not as fast as some smaller ones but the slower speed doesn't bother me too much. It has great battery power and also has a cool larger screen. For me, at first, it was odd to have such a large phone. But I got use to it.
Pros:
  • batter power
  • easy to get use to
  • large screen
  • loud speaker
Cons:
  • slower but not too much
  • power button in annoying spot
