Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 Review

U.S. Cellular (SCH-R960)     See other variants reviews Score: 67.9 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 is an impressive Android cellphone launched many years ago, provisioned with a large 6.3" multi touch display, an extremely fast 1.7 gigahertz Dual-Core CPU, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.9 MP front side camera.

Samsung equipped this phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8930AB system chip, backed up by an extremely fast 1.7 GHz Dual-Core CPU with a huge 1,5 GB of RAM. Graphic rendering generally uses a lot of CPU cycles, so this cellphone counts with a 450 MHz Adreno 305 GPU to help handle those graphic tasks. This cellphone comes with an 8 GB interesting internal memory and an external memory slot, which allows you to install a couple hundred apps without any problem.

The Mega 6.3 feels much lighter than what one would think about a cellphone like this. This phone is a compact phone, given that it packs a 6.3 inches screen and it's only 6.6 inches long and 3.46 inches wide. This phone is thin and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.31 inches. Samsung made this deviceavailable just in two different color options: black and white.

Samsung designed this cellphone with a nice 6.3" display, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), providing this cellphone with a detailed graphic quality. Its display uses Super Clear LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This cellphone features Wi-Fi capability (which it can provide to other devices around, acting as a modem or router), LTE (4G) high performance connection type and also HSPA+ internet connection, which is a slower 4G variation and the fastest 3G data connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM carriers and it can work with both GSM and CDMA networks.

This phone has two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 1.9 MP front camera. It also shoots videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. To complete the camera, it also includes a couple of useful features: flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This device has a big capacity 3200 mAh Li-Ion battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it at all. According to Samsung, this phone has an estimated stand by time of 410 hours and a talk time of 18 hs.

This phone also includes a lot of useful features as NFC (Near Field Communication), Infrared Transmitter, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone costs 249 dollars, which is not very cheap for this type of cellphone. This device is a great choice for you no matter whether you want it to take lots of photographs, want this phone mostly for internet broswing and social networks, will use it as a work device or are looking for a gamer cellphone.
