Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 Review

(I9150)     See other variants reviews Score: 62.1 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is a high quality Android phone launched in 2013, with a 5.8-inches capacitive screen, a fast 1400 megahertz Dual-Core processing unit, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 1.9 megapixels front-facing camera.

Samsung decided to power this cellphone using a Broadcom BCM28155 system chip, backed up by a fast Dual-Core processing unit clocking at 1400 MHz and a huge 1,5 GB of RAM. This phone comes with an 8 GB quite large internal storage memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, enough to install a couple hundred games and apps without running out of space.

This cellphone is for sale in 3 colors, black, purple and white. This phone is very slim, being just 0.38" thick. This phone is quite a compact phone, taking into account that it features a 5.8 inches screen and it is just 6.46 inches long and 3.3" wide. This phone is much lighter than what you would expect from a phone of this size.

This cellphone has a nice 960 x 540 5.8 inches display, providing this phone with an average graphical experience. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

The Mega 5.8 has two cameras, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 1.9 mega-pixels front side camera. This camera also features some nice characteristics like flash, auto-focus, HDR mode, fast burst mode and geo tagging.

This phone features wi-fi connectivity (which it can share with other devices acting as a wireless router), HSPA+ (4G) data connection, which is not so fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and the fastest 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 comes with a 2600 mAh huge Li-Ion battery, enough to provide this cellphone with an extremely long battery life.

This cellphone also comes with a couple of cool features as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone is really overpriced considering it is priced $ 275, and many similar devices cost much less than that. This cellphone is definitely a great option for you no matter whether you are looking for a device for gaming, want it to take lots of photos, want a social phone or are looking for a work device.
