Samsung is known as trendsetter and their latest phablet is the company’s yet another attempt to find a middle ground between a tablet and a smartphone. Samsung’s latest phablet Galaxy Mega made its debut in US yesterday and as the name suggests Mega is the biggest phablet Samsung ever produced. Although the company has announced the phablet a while ago it wasn’t released in USA until yesterday.
Galaxy Mega almost looks like a tablet with its 6.3 inch screen but apart from its size the device is pretty similar to Samsung’s flagship smartphone Galaxy S4. The phablet is an amalgamation of Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note family only bigger. Galaxy Mega definitely has an advantage of size which might attract corporate users who want a larger Galaxy experience.
the phablets 720X1280 HD display looks stunning on its 6.3 inch screen and Samsung believes that it would be ideal for office presentation. The device also comes with Samsung’s patent SAFE (Samsung for Enterprise) which works like an aid for business users. Note series’s pan also find its way to this new addition in the family.
It runs on Android 4.2.2 jelly bean and has a duel core 1.7 GHz processor that will power the device. It has a 1.5 GB RAM which is comparatively small than other high end Galaxy models. Although it has an extendable memory slot that supports up to 64 GB memory. It sports an 8 megapixels camera that is equipped with various shooting mode and settings.
Samsung Galaxy Mega has all the qualities of an efficient tablet but while using it as a phone you might feel awkward holding this massive device close to your ears. Although the success of Samsung’s Galaxy note 1 and 2 has already proven that phablet has a very big market share in digital industry. And perhaps Galaxy Mega will also be a success story for Samsung as it has been built on the same platform as note.
Samsung has announced that the phablet will be available on At&T, Sprint and US Cellular with a price tag of around $150 with 2 year contract. But the prices may vary through different network providers.
