Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9150
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9150 features a large design with dimensions of 162.6 x 82.4 x 9 mm and weighs 182 grams, making it a substantial device.
- Its 5.8-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 190 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-resolution content.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.4 GHz CPU paired with 1.5GB of RAM, providing sufficient power for everyday applications, though it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- The rear camera boasts an 8 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 1.9 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- A 2600 mAh battery powers the device, which does not support fast or wireless charging, limiting its convenience for heavy users.
- Running on Android 4.2.2 with TouchWiz UI, the software experience is dated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device is available in White, Black, and Plum Purple colors, adding some aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the Galaxy Mega 5.8 is a basic smartphone that meets fundamental needs without advanced features.
- Its large screen and decent camera make it a practical option for users prioritizing size over cutting-edge technology.
