that the Mega is easy to hold

Speed lows were still in the high single digits
much weaker with US Cellular's roaming network
there's no Macro mode in the list
lower-resolution screen and slightly slower processor
Absurdly large and not very portable
the phone felt increasingly uncomfortable in our hand
and heavy
more often
they feel confusing
hardware doesn t seem noticeably bogged down by the mess
s just not as easy when you re holding a phone this big and heavy
The device does seem to get slightly louder than the Galaxy S4
The handset was almost inoperable with one hand
not as powerful
It does take a bit to get used to and can be a bit clumsy at times
The Galaxy Mega may not be a specs phone
the Apple Watch isn t your only option)
it doesn t work in all apps (e
Chrome) and is finicky in terms of use often not working
it ain t a half bad shooter
Too many are simply trying to capitalize on affiliate revenue
neither a top-tier Android phone or tablet
No
it does not support wireless charging
it does not support 5GIs Samsung Galaxy Mega 6
felt super bulky once we sat down
knock the phone for having a massive display
not running too many at once
Colors tend to be a little washed out
the numbers didn t vary too much
to WiFi as there was no SIM in the device at the time
that is way too small

Is Samsung Galaxy Mega a good phone?
terrance
over 1 year ago
The Galaxy Mega is a very solid mid-range device, but the phone's make-or-break trait is — you guessed it — the size. If you prefer (or require) the ability to use your smartphone one-handed most of the time, you're not going to have a satisfactory experience. We would love to see the option of using an S Pen as a sort of compromise to persuade fence-sitters, but sadly its absence will act as more of a detriment to the phone's chances of success.

Does the Galaxy mega have a SIM card?

Install and remove the SIM and battery. To take the battery cover off, lift from the usb hole at the bottom of the phone. Remove the battery by lifting the battery from the bottom notch. Insert the microSIM card with gold contacts face down into the SIM card slot.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 Review (AT&T)

Samsung’s Mega 6.3 is neither a top-tier Android phone or tablet. Many have come to call this type of a device a phablet. I think there is no question that a device of this size, measuring 6.3-inches diagonally from the display’s corner to corner , can easily exist as a tablet. So I believe the question that remains is, beyond the Mega 6.3’s all together performance, can it serve as a phone? Well, read on to find out more. And […]

Ho-hum screen quality, but you'll save a buck

Samsung's Galaxy Mega 6.3 may look like an overfed Galaxy S4, but its disappointing screen resolution and unwieldy dimensions take this Android phablet a step down.

We're keen for calling large smartphones "phablets" these days, but what happens when you come within an inch of popular tablets? Well, you get the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 which, as its name implies, has a massive 6.3-inch display. The device recently landed in our offices and we've been giving it a spin for the past several days. It has some similarities to the Galaxy S4 in terms of...
