Samsung Galaxy Mega 2

Samsung has announced the Galaxy Mega 2 in India for Rs. 20,900. The first generation Galaxy Mega devices were not able to make much impact in the market. Will the new generation be able to make a difference? Let us see!

HARDWARE

As the ‘Mega’ name suggests the device supports a 6.0 inches HD screen with a 720 x 1280 pixels resolution. It turns into a pixel density of 245 ppi. Not very impressive. Samsung could have probably boosted the screen to a full HD panel. The device is powered by a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz. The processor is supported by 1.5GB of RAM which should be sufficient for the device. But Samsung’s Touchwiz UI has a reputation of being heavy even in powerful devices as the Galaxy S5.

The device has 16GB of internal storage and also supports expandability up to 64GB. So we cannot complain on the storage department.

We move onto the camera. The device supports an 8 MP shooter as its primary camera and a 5 MP shooter as the front camera. The 5 MP front camera was a surprise as the international model which supports LTE has a 2.1 MP front camera. Also, the Indian version does not support LTE. The front camera should produce nice selfies for the selfie lovers. The primary camera is capable of recording video at full HD (1080p) resolution at 30fps.

It comes with a 2800 mAh battery. Samsung has no news on how the battery performs.

SOFTWARE

On the software department, the device comes with the Android version 4.4.3 KitKat with the normal layer of Touchwiz which comes with every Samsung phone.

CONCLUSION

At a price of Rs. 20,900. The Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 is not very impressive but not bad either. Now a days there are a lot of choices in this price range. Many Indian companies have also started making good devices. So if you are about to buy a Samsung Galaxy Mega 2, we would suggest you to look for more options before going for the buy.
