Galaxy Mega 6.3
Gigantic 6.3" phablet from the pre-large-phone era.
The Galaxy Mega 6.3 is a mid-range Samsung smartphone released May 2013, with a launch price of $550. It pairs the Exynos dual-core 1.7 GHz with a 6.3" HD TFT display, a 8 MP, f/2.6 main camera and a 3200 mAh removable battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 50/100 — Before phones got big. Standout strengths: huge 6.3" screen before big phones were normal and big 3200 mah removable battery. Main trade-off: low pixel density at 720p across 6.3".
Before phones got big.
Galaxy Mega 6.3 was almost comically large in 2013, when most phones were under 5". Its low-res screen and weak chip drew mockery, but it foreshadowed the big-screen era that the entire industry would soon embrace.
