GALAXY Mega 5.8

GALAXY Mega 5.8
Not so long ago the conversation hit the interwebs about the Galaxy Mega series. Many said this is what was to become of the Note, many judging by the size. Naturally, Samsung has associated their phablet line-up with Note and many bloggers and journalists assumed that this is a rebranding process. well, clearly in this announcement there misses one integral element in the Note series, the stylus, that Samsung lovingly calls S Pen.

Without ruining the  Galaxy Note III party, Samsung decided to fill the gap of people who still want something bigger, but not just big enough into the 7 inch foray. And the Mega range was born, twins.

Galaxy Mega 6.3

Let me draw a comparison table based on the features and specifications that Samsung has made available so far.

Battery Standard battery, Li-ion 3,200 mAh Battery Standard battery, Li-ion 2,600 mAh  

First of all you will be interested to note that both of them have Dual-Core processors, compared to the Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III, same goes to a smaller power battery compared to screen size. But Samsung has not revealed the screen resolution, but they have an LCD screen, QHD for the 5.8 and HD for the 6.3. The Mega 6.3 is built for speed as it’s an LTE version while the Mega 5.8 is a HSPA version.

Most of the other features are the same save for the dimensions, weight and the fact that  Mega 5.8 has no 16GB storage option and a lesser battery. Also at unveil, Samsung has only showed the two in different colours, the Mega 5.7 with a Frosty White and Mega 6.3 with Misty Black, naturally one would assume that they will be in both colours. Let’s see what else Samsung reveals in the near future.  Availability starts with Europe and Russia in May and the rest of the world gradually.

What do you think of the Galaxy Mega?
