has the galaxy mega 6.3 available in India? because i am looking to but this bigger phone but can’t find it in retail stores. Please let me know about any updates on this
Don’t think so I have not seen it in retail stores.
gogoi sir suggest me handset bet 10 to 14 k best handset
not at all impressive in any way.way.big screens are wasted due to low resolution.
just dual core processors
Don’t think its going to be any less than 30k cause these have cortex a15 processor with big screens.
whats gega , pateand zeta
Specs are awesome but the question is, whats the price hope its less than galaxy grand.
Gega, peta and zeta are still available any one interested ?
Hey its 14th april. what happened to jiayu gogi bhai?
They forget people want phones. They’re concentrating on big screen phablets, Pricewise and sizewise Not pocket friendly phablets. Who hates to have a 4 inch quadcore or octacore device ?
Hi gogi,
any news on galaxy express and S3 mini.
Thanks
Samsung has good phones but prices are 4 times their worth !!!!
remember those days (during the Nokia era) when samsung started off with phones for the common man like the corby and then went the apple way …. Today it concentrates only on premium phones not meant for the masses. And all its lower end phones are hopeless in terms of configuration.
Too large to handle.
Jst tell me wheather u gonna review xolo b700 or not!!! I’m tired of asking this so many times…plz rply!
Nothing can match UMI X2..
Neither specs nor pricing.. 😛
They want to establish in all the screen sizes! From 3 inches to 10 inch screen, they’ve covered it all now! Now Samsung will take some rest! 😀
Not Mega specification. Only size is mega
Well lets hope the price is not Mega. But its TFT screen same line as the Galaxy grand. Could be priced under 25K.
Well said Gogi 🙂
Mr. Gogi
I think Samasung Galaxy Note 8.0 N5100 better option under or equal to 25k. becase its quad core Exynos 4412, 2gb ram, 16 gb inbuilt ram, mali 400 and with sim suppourt 3g & LTE. What you think about it??
your opinion matter
thanks
yes the price should sub 25 k thats why they reduced the prices of galaxy grand to rs 17700 so that the model prices do not clash.
6.3′ phablet? Samsung taking the tablet-cum phone series too seriously.
Hope they take their customers seriously and bring in a phone with at least a better resolution screen, pity!!!
I do not know why so many people here think more the pixels better the display and by the way if one wants to view videos so often , why don’t you guys see in your 42 inch led that would be much better. This is a phone …..
Nitin, Have you seen most of the low end samsung phones screens ? eg the galaxy chat, galaxy ace, etc The screen resoultions are so low that small text looks pixelated. Even while playing temple run its difficult to read anything on the screens specially the instructions or coin redemption for extra powers screens.
