Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 is a very powerful cellphone, equipped with a 6" screen, a high performance 1.5 gigahertz Quad-Core processor, a 13 megapixels back side camera and a 2.1 mega-pixels front side camera.

Being just 0.34 inches thick,this phone is extremely slim and good-looking. This phone only has 6.44" long and 3.34" wide, but it still manages to hold a 6" display. Samsung justmade this device in color black. The Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 feels much lighter than what one would think about a phone of this size.

Samsung decided to power the Mega 2 using a high speed 1.5 GHz Quad-Core processing unit, packed into an Exynos 4415 system chip with a huge 1,5 GB RAM memory. Graphic intensive applications generally consume a lot of processor cycles, so this cellphone also counts with a 500 megahertz ARM Mali-400 GPU to help the CPU with those tasks. This phone counts with a 16 GB interesting internal memory and an SD extension slot, enough to install a couple hundred games and applications without any problem.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 13 megapixels back camera and a 2.1 MP front camera. It also shoots Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps. Additionally, the camera counts with a lot of great characteristics: auto-focus, flash, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.

The Mega 2 has a good looking 6-inches display with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes all images and movies look colorful and brightful. Its display uses LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This phone offers WiFi capability (which can be shared with other devices acting as a router or modem), LTE (4G) great performance internet connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, a bit slower 4G network and 3G fast data connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses two Micro SIM cards so it's able to use 2 different carriers or phone numbers in the same cellphone.

The Mega 2 also includes a few interesting characteristics such as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your cellphone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This device has a 2800 mAh great Li-Ion battery, enough to provide this cellphone with a marvelous battery life. According to Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 has an estimated talk time of 16 hs and a stand by time of 324 hs.

Samsung is offering this cellphone for 300 dollars, which is a high price for this type of phone. No matter if you want this phone to take plenty of photos, want a phone for work, want a cellphone to mostly use social networks or will use it to play tons of games, this cellphone is definitely very appropiate for you.
