Features

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 has a display with a resolution of 720 x 1280, a Quad Core 1.7 GHz processor and an 8-megapixel camera. It has internal storage options of 8 GB or 16 GB (usable 5.34 or 12 GB, respectively), and has dual-SIM capability.[4] The display includes Smart Stay, which utilises the front-facing cameras to track if the user is looking at the display, and powering off the display if they are not.[5]

The device supports multiple windows (commonly referred to as ‘split screen’), with a home screen that is usable in portrait or landscape mode.[6] Included in the phone's operating system is Samsung S Voice, a virtual assistant.

Hardware

The Galaxy Mega is a mobile device that closely resembles the Galaxy S5, sharing many similar features. Among its functions are customizable lock screens and quick access to settings via the drop-down notification bar. The device also includes Multi Window functionality, enabling users to run multiple applications on a single screen, an ability that is enhanced by the phone's 6.0-inch LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280.

The rear-facing 8-megapixel camera comes with shooting modes such as

  • HDR (Rich Tone)
  • Continuous Shot
  • Sports
  • Beauty Face
  • Shot and More
  • Virtual Tour
  • Sound and Shot
  • Night Mode
  • Panorama

Users can store additional music, photos and videos with up to 64 GB of expandable storage with an external microSD card. A 2,800mAh removable battery should allow the phone to run throughout the day on a single charge. The Galaxy Mega is powered by a Quad Core processor with 1.5 GB of RAM.

The motherboard of the Galaxy Mega 2 bears a similar design to that of the Samsung Galaxy S5, with a large sub-board housing the processor, SIM card and microSDXC card readers, front and rear-facing cameras, microphone assembly, and other components, located at the top of the device, connected to a smaller sub-board at the bottom housing the micro-USB port.

Design

The Galaxy Mega 2 measures 6.6 x 3.46 x 0.31 inches and it weighs 7.1 ounces. It utilizes a traditional IPS LCD screen.

The Galaxy Mega 2 does not utilize a unibody design or proprietary screws, allowing it to be disassembled relatively easily using a standard Phillips No. 000 screwdriver for repairs.

Software
Main article: TouchWiz

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 runs Android version 4.4.2 skinned with Samsung's TouchWiz interface. Samsung's Multi-window Mode is the front and center feature of the device.

Similar to other Galaxy phones, the lock screen can be customized with widgets and shortcuts. Seven customizable home screens are available to the user. 11 quick settings buttons in the notification drawer enable users to toggle features including Wi-Fi connectivity, Sound Mode, Ultra Power Saving and Power Saving.
