Samsung has made it again just like last year with the over all hype over new Samsung device ; was the year of the multi-core processor, 2013 is surely the year of the big screen.
With the release of the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 the Galaxy Mega 5.8, Samsung is looking to blur the lines between phone and phablet even further, by adding more inches to its repertoire of display sizes.
Based on the review from various sources Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is the lesser half of the new Mega duo, and if a 6.3″ screen is just too big for you, then 5.8″ may be just your size.And the plus point being there may even be a few people out there that might still consider it a phone.
