“The Galaxy Mega 5.8 is a great large screen phone at this price point. Having said that, we wish it included a better screen as that's actually what one looks for when buying a phablet. Although multimedia content and text looks decent, it's not really pleasing to the eye. Other than that, we also feel that the phone is a little under-powered but then at this price point, you can't expect a power-horse. Also, Samsung's TouchWiz UI is partly responsible for making the software experience bloated.”
