It includes Multi Window, which allows users to use multiple apps on the same screen, a feature that is enhanced with the phone's 6.0-inch LCD (720 x 1280) display.

    The rear-facing 8-megapixel camera comes with numerous shooting modes such as HDR (Rich Tone), Continuous Shot, Sports, Beauty Face, Shot & More, Vitual Tour, Sound & Shot, Night Mode and Panorama. Users can store additional music, photos and videos with up to 64 GB of expendable storage with an external microSD card. A 2,800mAh removable battery should allow the phone to run throughout the day on a single charge. The Galaxy Mega is powered by a Quad Core processor with 1.5GB of VRAM.

    Design

    The Galaxy Mega 2 measures 6.6 x 3.46 x 0.31 inches and it weighs at 7.1 ounces. The design resembles an enlarged Samsung Galaxy S5.

    Software

    The Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 runs Android KitKat OS 4.4.4 skinned with Samsung's TouchWiz interface. Samsung's Multi-window Mode is front and center on the device. Similar to other Galaxy phones, the lock screen can be customized with widgets and shortcuts. Seven customizable home screens are available to the user. 11 quick settings buttons in the notification drawer enable users to toggle features including Wi-Fi connectivity, Sound Mode, Ultra Power Saving and Power Saving.
