At 5.8 inches, this Galaxy Mega sits somewhere between a phone and a small tablet, though the 540 x 960 resolution means the pixel density stays low at around 190 ppi. Inside, a dual-core 1.4 GHz chip runs with 1.5 GB RAM, paired with 8 GB of storage that can be topped up via microSD to 64 GB. It ships with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Samsung's TouchWiz layer on top.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 price in Malaysia starts from RM558. The 8 MP rear camera handles autofocus and LED flash, with a 1.9 MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls. A 2600 mAh battery powers the whole thing, and at 182g with a 9mm profile, it's noticeably chunkier than most phones this size class today.

Connectivity covers dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS with GLONASS, though there's no NFC on board. It comes in White, Black, and Plum Purple.
