Samsung Unveils 6.3-Inch Galaxy Mega Smartphone

the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 is the biggest smartphone that we know of. It sports a 6.3-inch display with 720p resolution. It's joined by a "little" brother, the Mega 5.8. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Note phones, the Mega line doesn't include a stylus, prioritizing value as well as usability.

Galaxy Mega phones do not include a stylus (the "S Pen") that's a hallmark of the Galaxy Note line. They're also not pure tablets, since they're equipped to connect with mobile networks.
The Mega line is led by the gargantuan 6.3-inch Galaxy Mega 6.3. Samsung oddly didn't opt for a full HD screen at that size, giving it 720p resolution. It's powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core processor with 1.5GB of RAM, and runs Android 4.2 "Jelly Bean." It'll be available with either 8 or 16GB of onboard storage, and you can supplement that with a microSD card.
The "little brother" in the line is the Galaxy Mega 5.8, which is even lower resolution at 960 x 540. The CPU is a 1.4GHz dual-core design, also with 1.5GB of ram and Android 4.2. While the Mega 6.3 can connect to LTE networks, the 5.8 is HSPA+.
Samsung says the Galaxy Mega is for customers who want the "most out of one device" that brings both quality and value. They also sport new capabilities: S Travel provides trip information as well as local guides and resources, and Story Album lets users create albums of events, store moments in a timeline and quickly publish print copies of albums.
Of course, the phones have many of the features that exist on previous Galaxy devices, including Group Play, which can share content to other Galaxy phones and tablets on the same Wi-Fi network, and multi-screen capability, which lets the user run and interact with two apps on the screen at the same time.
Also included is Air View, where the screen reacts to a fingertip hovering above it by, for example, opening a drop-down menu or showing preview text in an email.
Samsung says the global launch of the Mega phones will roll out "gradually", arriving first in Europe and Russia in May. No word yet on a U.S. release.
