Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 Review

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is a powerful device launched in April 2013, coming with a large 5.8-inches capacitive touch-screen, a Dual-Core processing unit speeding at 1.4 GHz, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.9 MP front camera. Let's take a closer view of what this cellphone has to offer.

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is offerred in three different colors, black, purple and white. This phone is just 0.38" thick, making it one of the thinnest cellphones you can find. Even though the Mega 5.8 just has 6.46" long and 3.3" wide, it manages to pack a 5.8 inches screen. This phone is much lighter than what you expect from a device of this size.

Samsung decided to power this phone using a good performance Dual-Core CPU speeding at 1.4 gigahertz, included in the Broadcom BCM28155 chip and a large 1,5 GB of RAM. This phone has aquite big 8 GB internal storage memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows you to store hundreds of applications and games without any problem.

Samsung packed this phone with a nice 5.8" display, and a resolution of 960 x 540 , providing this device with a good image quality. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This device features WiFi connection (which it can provide to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ 4G connection type, which is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and the fastest 3G data connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone comes with two SIM cards so it's able to use 2 different phone numbers in the same cellphone.

This device features two cameras, an 8 MP back side camera and a 1.9 MP front side camera. To complete the camera, it also counts with a couple of useful features like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, geo tagging and HDR mode.

This cellphone also comes with a couple interesting characteristics as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone comes with a high capacity 2600 mAh Li-Ion battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it.

The Mega 5.8 is very overpriced considering it is sold for $ 280, and some similar cellphones can be found for much less money. No matter if you want this cellphone to take tons of photographs, are looking for a work cellphone, will use it for gaming or will use it as a social phone, you will definitely love this cellphone.
