I don’t know about these guys but I’m looking forward to this phone. a 6.3in phablet? Might not be convenient to put in the pocket but it has its uses.

Samsung releases variations of their phones so that many people would be able to afford their phones.

ie
Galaxy Note 2 – Expensive
Galaxy Grand – Just enough for me to buy one.

you can’t complain man. samsung is giving us options. If all you can think is specs specs specs, then you’ll just drain down your money. Many does not even need those high powered phones. Think first before you say anything.

Excited for this phablet.

I have to agree with this somewhat… Hindi high end specs lang ang dapat tignan sa mga devices. Kailangan i-weigh in din ang price and practicality. How many consumers of high end devices really need a quad core cpu/gpu on a smartphone and actually are able to utilize such?

Quad core phones to surf and post facebook statuses on, now that is hilarious IMO.

Personally, I’d be really interested in a galaxy mega especially since my “low spec-ed” galaxy grand exceeded my expectations of it.

Still samsung galaxy s4 is still to be in the market there is a new device, samsung galaxy mega which is better than s4, so have to wait and think which one to buy.

mack · 13 years ago

Bobo ka s4 ang pinakamagandang specs sa lahat.. samsung galaxy mega bano specs dual-core lng pati 8mp camera! ang s4 octa-core! bobo

A meter stick runs Samsung’s research and development division.

Sanj · 13 years ago

I agree with you completely! Aside from the gargantuan sizes these new models have nothing to offer in terms of specs, it’s hardly an upgrade from the Note 2 and S3.

CJ · 13 years ago

9 and 11 inch beyond nalang ang wala ang samsung ah lol

mike · 13 years ago

this WAS the strategy ng Nokia dati. releasing phones every month or 2 months or so…

where are they now? dapat matuto sila sa Nokia eh.

and another thing is i do hope if iimbento sila ng size ng phone sana they will let the developers “force” to support it.

dating nyan pixelated ang apps.

lastly sana antayin nalang nila ang android 5 so that the hardware can support the software properly.

just my 25 cents :)

otwist · 13 years ago

magkakamukha naman mga Samsung phones.. kakaumay…

Gian Austria · 13 years ago

What’s the point of releasing many phones at a time if the majority of the world’s population can’t even afford a Galaxy Y?

Phillip · 13 years ago

You’re forgetting that this is the strategy they used that made them very successful now.

jdoc · 13 years ago

Gurl: what do you have in your pocket?
guy
1.japanese -4.0
2.korean1 -5.8
3.korean2 -6.3
4.american – 8.0
5.filipino-10.0

jdoCORNY · 13 years ago

Aaaayyy… may nagpapa-tawa oh! Ang corny mo, brad!

emem · 13 years ago

if Samsung continues to saturate the market with these pointless phones, magsasawa na ang mga tao at mawawala na ang premium aspect ng galaxy line. two phones a year should be enough. and dami ng galaxy iba iba pa ang screen size at resolution. ano na lang magiging hitsura ng mga apps pag tumatabo. Nexus 7 already had a share app screen being stretched or black bars sa sides.

Phillip · 13 years ago

I agree, mauumay na masyado mga tao. The worst part is, magkakamukha sila lahat! So they are like the same phones, just different sizes.. nawawala pagiging special/unique pati mga flagship models.

voltesV · 13 years ago

Exactly. Hinay hinay lang sa release ng phone. And just imagine ung 6.3 inch phone pantawag..haha lol..

jikkoi22 · 13 years ago

samsung really?? 6.3″ at 5.8″? these smartphone sizes are really getting out of control

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Madamot talaga ang Samsung sa pag release ng 720p phones….kalimitan overpriced pa. WALANG KWENTA tong mga ‘to anliliit ng pixels per inch

Angelica · 13 years ago

ikaw na may 20/20 eye vision

lawrence · 13 years ago

HD Screen naman yung Mega 6.3 a. ibig sabihin 720p yun di ba? tsaka yung laptop mo anong resolution? yung sa akin kasi 1366×768, 14″. e kung yung Mega 6.3 e 720×1280, siguro naman puwede na.
