Samsung has finally revealed its latest oversized smartphone the Galaxy Mega 5.8 is low- to mid-range in terms of specifications.The design of the Mega 5.8 is almost an exact duplicate of its big brother, the Mega 6.3, expect it’s, well, smaller. Not too small, though, as it’s still noticeable larger than the venerable Galaxy Note 2. It has a 5.8 inch with qHD (540 x 960 pixels) resolution does not sound good at all.The back panel is plastic and is shiny but not that slippery. Though it looks strong but I feel better material could have been used.
