Engadget Review

The Mega is a respectable mid-range device, but it's too large for anyone who wants to sometimes use their phone one-handed.

Pros
  • Huge screen, decent display quality
  • Sensational battery life
  • Good video capture
  • Louder sound than on competing phones
Cons
  • One-handed operation nearly impossible
  • Some GS4 features are missing
