hey what is up guys I'm Kay PhD here and this is a 6.3 inch phone say 6.3 inch phone it's a bit of a test from Samsung to see how big of a device you and I are willing to keep buying we bought the 5 inch Galaxy s4 we bought the 5.5 inch Galaxy Note 2 how big are we willing to go with this I'm going to try to review this entire device without saying that's what she said once it's going to be a bit of a challenge without any further ado let's take a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy mega so this is the mega 6.3 and obviously yes it is gigantic as you can see next to the galaxy s4 and it's really easy to say it's too big even too big for a pocket but it does fit in my pockets just fine and even in purses quite easily obviously but yeah there's no other way to put it this is the biggest smartphone out there right now and it even makes the Galaxy Note 2 feel a bit small and while a lot of people will immediately dismiss this phone as being way too big there is a select group of people out there looking for something like this advice that's bigger than your typical smartphone but pocketable unlike the smallest of tablets so this can take the place of both in your life the smartphone and the tablet and this galaxy mega actually does a pretty good job of that for my experience now from a samsung point of view this device is basically an experiment they have that kind of money where they can put out some crazy new form factors and if people like it and buy it it'll keep doing it if not they won't they took a pretty big leap with the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Note 2 and people ate that up so they're going even bigger now with a 5.9 inch and a 6.3 inch Galaxy mega variant with the same looks as a galaxy s4 it's kind of like a vote with your wallet thing at this point if people like it and buy it Samsung will see that and we'll see more of this trend anyway because this is such an experiment the galaxy mega does not have flagship specs because it's not a flagship it has Android 4.2.2 inside but it's running a quad-core Snapdragon 400 CPU at a 1.7 gigahertz clock speed and it scores a little more than half of what the galaxy s4 with the Snapdragon 600 does on quadrant but luckily it doesn't need more than a whole ton of power because while this display is massively huge it is not 1080p this is a 1280 by 720 display so it doesn't need nearly as much power to push around way less pixels so you sacrifice a bit of pixel density for a much better performance on the chip but the display is still great actually colors as you would expect with the samsung amoled display are very vibrant and viewing angles and brightness are still top-notch very good and that adds to the media consumption experience on this tablet / phone hybrid it's much more fun to watch YouTube videos on this than anything else in Samsung's Galaxy lineup and speaking of that galaxy lineup the mega is very similar to the galaxy s4 inside and out it has a removable back to reveal a small speaker at the bottom but it is pretty loud and there's also a micro SD card slot up top for expandable storage next to that 8 megapixel camera and of course that brings us to one of the biggest advantages to carrying a mammoth of a phone like this battery life this is the biggest battery in any phone 3200 milliamp hours and it can go for a long time on a battery it's almost impossible to kill this thing in a day even with heavy use and there are some other advantages to having such a ridiculously Sasquatch gargantuan phone one is that you get more information on the screen you just get more it might not be 1080p so it's not the sharpest thing in the world unfortunately so text could use a little bit of improvement but you can see so much in every app on the mega each and every app just looks bigger than it usually does on any other phone and the entire user interface scales and looks just mega sized all of it looks huge and it doesn't even feel that tall it feels more really wide apps don't stretch anymore obviously to take up the extra room but they instead sit in the middle of the display with tons of space on either side it's quite nice actually this would be a great phone for someone with not very good eyesight or for someone with really large hands or large fingers or someone who wears big gloves all the time who knows and just of course if you feel like using this with one hand samsung added some of the single-handed features that it used in the galaxy note 2 just in case you feel the need to use this device with one hand for some of the apps and yet another advantage of the huge display is the camera here it feels like taking pictures with a tablet but not really if but the - the matter is with this display it's so big that it kind of feels like you're looking through a window at what you want to take a picture or video of and with a really solid 8 megapixel sensor in here likely the same optics as the galaxy s3 I've never had an easier time composing shots and taking them on any other phone now I also do you want to say one of the biggest and most underrated advantages to having a larger screen on a phone is having a larger keyboard and believe me when I say the on screen typing experience on the galaxy mega 6.3 is oh so good with any keyboard whether it's Google's or Samsung's or third parties the fact that you have so much space to your fingers to move around and hit them keys oh man it's a great time great time texting or messaging on this thing so basically in summary the Galaxy mega is a giant phone that enhances all the things that are good about having a great huge display all the media all the games and video watching it's all great thanks to the screen and since they took the galaxy s4 design but the galaxy s3 specs it's a mid-range performer and definitely an interesting experiment from Samsung it's going to fall in the same category as galaxy note 2 where people will stop you in public and ask you about your phone it's also in the same category where it takes a little bit of time to get used to the size but once you get used to the mega it can be an all-in-one device that replaces your tablet and your phone and really does give you the best of both worlds with an all-day battery life that fits in your pocket and then of course lastly what a lot of people ask me when they want to see what this phone is like they want to know what it looks like held up to your ear when making a phone call because people still make those not bad I mean it's not quite as ridiculous as a tablet but it's probably bigger than any other phone you've ever used in a way that's been it it's a Samsung Galaxy mega I would say there's a lot to like about this phone especially like we said the advantages of having such a big battery in such a big phone overall all those advantages are still there but I would still say that I prefer a 1080p display I wouldn't recommend buying this phone only because this is the best look we're going to get at the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and when that phone does come out it's going to have flagship specs it's going to have top-of-the-line numbers top-of-the-line internals and externals and display and that's going to make this phone look a little dull but if you don't have the budget for the Galaxy Note 3 this is a great alternative and if you're looking for a big phone that lasts just all day on battery and then some Galaxy mega is the place to look it's a Samsung experiment and I think it's going to sell interestingly either way thanks for watching this quick review video if you enjoyed it definitely feel free to give a thumbs up below and without any further ado I'll sign off here now and I will talk to you guys in next one facing you
