Samsung Launch Handset 6.3" That Is Almost As Big As A Tablet

Samsung has announced that its Galaxy Mega phone � the biggest smartphone on the global market - will finally be available to consumers in the U.S. from Friday although there have been no announcements made about when it will come to the UK or other regions. With a screen measuring a giant 6.3 inches diagonally, the Mega looks more like a tablet than a phone. Samsung have described it as a hybrid that combines the portability of a smartphone with the immersive experience that a tablet offers for movies, books, music and games. They are confident that the big design will appeal to commuters and others who regularly watch films on their gadgets. 'The newest addition to the Galaxy family balances an optimal viewing experience on a 6.3-inch HD screen, yet is ultra-thin and portable enough to put into a pocket or hold in one hand,' the firm said. 'The GALAXY Mega offers a mix of popular smartphone and tablet features such as an effortless user experience, a split screen, multitasking between video and other apps and more.' It claims video and web browsing will be the main uses for the Mega.
