Comparisons Featuring Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9200
Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9200 features a large 6.3-inch SC-LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 233 ppi.
- Its design is characterized by dimensions of 167.6 x 88 x 8 mm and a weight of 199 grams, making it relatively lightweight for its size.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a dual-core 1.7 GHz CPU and 1.5GB of RAM, which handles basic tasks adequately.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 1.9 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- The 3200 mAh battery offers reasonable longevity, although it lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.2.2 with an upgrade option to 4.4.2, the device utilizes the TouchWiz UI for user interaction.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The phone is available in several colors, including White, Black, and Plum Purple.
- Notably, it lacks water resistance and stereo speakers, but includes a headphone jack.
- Overall, the Galaxy Mega 6.3 is a large-screen device that balances basic performance and functionality.
