Call quality was pretty good overall to land lines and cell phones, though clarity can and will vary from phone to phone and even at different points throughout the day. I tested the Mega's call quality in San Francisco using AT&T's GSM network (850/900/1800/1900MHz bands) and U.S. The Mega has 16GB internal storage, which you an expand up to 64GB in all with an after-market microSD card. Taken indoors with flash, this standard studio shot is very dark and quite noisy. Instead, you'll get the wide angle 6-megapixel shots (16:9) versus the 4:3 aspect ratio for 8-megapixel snaps. Generally, Samsung phones default to the highest-resolution photo available, but not so here. Conspicuously, there's no Macro mode in the list, but you can get fairly close as is. You'll find fewer camera modes on the Mega than on the Galaxy S4 flagship, but my favorites are still there, including HDR, sport mode, panorama, and continuous shot. Deeper in the settings are resolution choices, white balance presets, the self-timer function, and all the rest. The Mega's 8-megapixel camera has continuous autofocus, an LED flash, and Samsung's latest layout for more easily turning on features like voice dictation to take a snap ("Cheese!") and arrows in obvious places to switch camera modes and select filters. You will, however, see Samsung apps across the board like the Watch On app for controlling your TV, S Voice, S Memo, S Translator, some featured hubs, and Blurb's Story Album. You also have unrestricted access to the entire Google Play library of apps and entertainment.Ĭarrier preloads are plentiful on the Mega these will vary, but expect partner apps and account management tools.

There's Wi-Fi on the Mega, plus Bluetooth, GPS, and essential personal tools like a calendar, a calculator, and all the rest, plus Google apps like Maps, search, and more. Yet hold the Mega next to a phone with a higher-resolution display (even another LCD like the HTC One or iPhone 5) and you'll see that the same streaming video has much more detail, richer color, and a lot less noise than on the Mega.

Most native icons scale to continue looking crisp on the Mega's display, and Web sites look fine, even better than OK since there's a lot of room to read full desktop and mobile Web pages alike.

That lower screen resolution is a noticeable hit - just 720p HD (1,280x720 pixels) versus the 1080p HD (1,920x1,080) we see on many premium phones with 5-inch screens and above. For reference, the Galaxy S4 flagship has a pixel density of 441 pixel per inch (ppi) the Mega, by contrast surfaces a 233 ppi. Ditto some app icons, which appear slightly fuzzy. Other times, titles don't scale at all, and you'll see small size programs bordered by a big black frame, which were clearly intended for smaller screens. Sometimes you'll even get the option to view apps' tablet versions, like the Google Maps and Amazon apps. The Mega's 6.3-inch display is large enough to fit interface designs meant for tablets.
