That’s right. You will have read, or will read I spent 10 minutes with the Nokia Lumia 925, but 3 times the time with the Samsung Mega.

So let me start by saying this phone is absolutely HUGE HUGE HUGE and HUGE. It makes the Samsung Galaxy Note seem small, the Samsung Galaxy S4 pint sized and the iPhone 5 a dinky toy. The Mega comes with a whopping 6.3 inch screen versus the iPhone 5 which is 4 inches.

First up, I loved the large form factor. Using the S-Planner app the month view on the Calendar displayed so beautifully. Everything from lists, photos , in fact any app just looked so clear on the big display. It also felt okay in the hand and I wouldnt have a problem making phone calls with it. For long phone calls, a Bluetooth headset may be a better option. In terms of styling it followed the Samsung look, so was durable plastic. Unlike the Note that has a stylus, this phone doesn’t.

I spent a lot of time trying out all the various functions and came away with one thought. Why didn’t Samsung include some proper specifications. This large slab has only 8gb of memory and then has many other features reduced. Shame.

I can see the Sony Z Ultra fitting well in my hand which has a 6.44 inch screen, now that I have seen and held the Mega.
