Galaxy Mega 6.3 Review

Galaxy Mega 6.3 has been great and the battery life is outstanding, much better than my Note 2/S3/S4. Since the screen is 720p on this phone, it consumes less power than the S4 and it lasts much longer. The Galaxy Mega 6.3 comes with Snapdragon 400 which is a dual core CPU that has no problem handling everything you throw at it. The phone comes with a ton of bloatware as always and I always try to remove most of it because it can really slow down the phone and kill your battery.
