Samsung Galaxy Mega is big on size
2:14
Already staking its claim on AT&T, the Samsung Galaxy Mega and its enormous 6.3-inch screen are making a home at U.S. Cellular.
The extra-large “phablet” will sell for a budget $150 on contract, after an instant rebate.

Eager customers can buy it online starting tomorrow, September 17, and those who opt for in-store purchase will find it in carrier shops on September 19.
Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the Mega has no stylus or extra tricks to spice up Samsung’s typical Android experience.
It does, however, have a modern OS — Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean — an IR blaster to remotely control the TV, and multitasking features with a split-screen look.
There were a few hardware trade-offs to hit the Mega’s price point. You’ll notice an adequate 1.7GHz dual-core processor, a 720p HD screen (versus 1080p HD,) and an 8-megapixel camera rather than Samsung’s top-of-the-line 13-megapixel number.
