The Galaxy Mega offers a mix of popular smartphone and tablet features such as an effortless user experience, a split screen, multitasking between video and other apps and more.

With the popular Air View' feature, you can preview information in emails, photos in the gallery, as well as speed dial contacts.
The Galaxy Mega comes with an enhanced 8 megapixel rear-facing camera with a 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera, along with avariety of camera modes including Drama Shot' (so you can merge continuous shots of a moving object) and Sound & Shot' (allows you to capture nine seconds of sound and voice together as the picture is taken to capture moments). It also includes a number of newly-introduced features, including:
S Travel': Provides trip information, local guides and resources.
Story Album': Allows you to create albums of daily events, keep special moments in one place using a timeline, geo-tag information and publish digital albums in hard copy.
The Galaxy Mega runs on the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean experience, and features a Dual Core Processor, up to 64GB of expandable memory to store your favourite apps, music, videos and photos. The advanced software also means more efficient processor use for improved battery life, meaning you can enjoy longer talk time and multimedia use.
