Samsung Storms the market with Massive, 6.3-Inch Galaxy Mega Phablet

Introducing the aptly named Galaxy Mega, a new phablet with a massive, 6.3-inch display.

For comparison, Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S4 has a 5-inch screen, while the Galaxy S III sports a 4.8-inch display. The Galaxy Note phablet lineup starts at 5 inches for the original and comes in at 5.3 inches on the Galaxy Note II.

At this point, the Mega will only be available in Europe and Russia, starting in May, so U.S. consumers will have to make do with the Galaxy Note II.

According to Samsung, the Galaxy Mega "combines the portability and convenience of a smartphone with the power, multitasking capabilities and extensive viewing experience of a tablet." The display might be enormous, but Samsung claims the Mega is thin enough to put in your pocket and hold with one hand.

The 6.3- and 5.8-inch Mega will run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The 5.8-inch version sports a 1.4-GHz, dual-core processor, while the 6.3-inch one has a 1.7-GHz processor. There's 64GB of expandable memory on both.
