The game of inches...Samsung releasing 6.3" Galaxy soon!

[peacefulberry]

This morning I read that Samsung is releasing the new Galaxy Mega, an Android powered 6.3" smartphone weighing a whopping 199 grams!

.....WHAT? So I'm asking you guys what you honestly think about this. Is this where phones are headed? Would you actually buy a phone so large (and heavy)?

 

[Blkacesvf41]

I certainly would not. This will go along gender lines. Ladies carry a purse so a bigger phone doesn't bother them. Most of us guys don't want our pockets jammed with stuff.

They said "The size makes it great to use with one hand and fit in your pocket"

You CANNOT use this with one hand. I've tried using a NOTE 2, with one hand. Nope! Couldn't do it. I doubt this will be easier.

Not sure what kind of jeans you guys wear but no way this is fitting into my skinny jeans.

Utterly ridiculous.

Samsung does not deserve to be the number 1 phone manufacturer in the world selling crap like this.

 

[mlm1950]

A phone with a 4.5-4.7" screen is about as far as I want, or need to go.

I don't care for Samsung devices, so it doesn't really matter to me, but I am sure it will appeal to some folks, but they will look pretty stupid if they hold it up to their head and use it like a regular sized smartphone.

*facepalm*

Samsung is utterly ridiculous. I saw the Note II in person recently and pretty much laughed my *** off when I held it up to my ear. Next thing you know, they'll release a seven inch phone.

My lady has a Note 2 and loves it. She's 5'3, pretty tiny, with small hands.

You get accustomed to the size quickly.

Potentially we are slowly moving away from the telephone, and into video calls, (as much as many people dislike it) from this perspective it makes sense. It is rather silly putting up a huge Slab of phablet up against your skull.

One day, I will have a phone that is as big as me and it'll be cool and awesome and it'll be made by Samsung!

Samsung must be having a hard time coming up with new ideas.

Reminded me of the show Trigger Happy TV.

Think that's big?

Psion made phones (okay, pocket PCs) larger AND thicker than this!
With slide-out keyboards!

In fact, allaboutsymbian has an article about how screen size creep is a myth, at least for top-of-the-line devices.

Well, they kinda did already...their first 7" Galaxy Tab could make phones calls, at least the unlocked international version...Samsung is just trying to have a product in every conceivable market, just like how the IRS would like to tax every dollar made as income - legal or illegal.

Okay Samsung, show us the 9'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999'999" screen smartphone.

LOL!!!! Omg lol

Cause no other OEM has done anything innovative except Nokia so they can't copy.

 

[squire777]

Who said anything about Nokia or copying? All samsung is doing is releasing the same version of a product with different screen sizes. Great innovation there!

Innovation like this are very rare to find now a days... Slowly they are becoming apple and apple becoming Samsung.. I don't know who is following who.
