Widening its portfolio of smartphones available in the country, leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, Samsung Electronics West Africa, has introduced the world’s largest smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Mega, to the Nigerian market. According to Samsung, the Galaxy Mega combines the portability and convenience of a smartphone with the power, multitasking capabilities and extensive viewing experience of a tablet. The formal unveiling of the device took place in Ikeja, Lagos on Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at an elaborate event that was attended by Samsung brand ambassadors, Kate Henshaw, Banky W and Ali Nuhu.
This newest addition to the Galaxy family balances an optimal viewing experience on a 5.8-inch HD screen, yet is ultra-thin and portable enough to fit in a user’s pocket or in the palm of one hand. Powered by the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system and 1.4GHz dual core processor, the Galaxy Mega features an 8-megapixel rear camera, as well as a 2-megapixel front facing camera. It comes with 8GB internal memory and up to 64GB expandable storage. The device also boasts Samsung’s proprietary ‘Air View’ feature, which lets users preview photos, speed dial contacts and information in e-mails, without opening them.
Samsung is offering users of the Samsung Galaxy Mega smartphone subscriptions to Tell Magazine, The Guardian, The Punch and Businessday newspapers. In addition to these, Samsung’s Class Connect App, DoBox movie download app and Spinlet Music App will also be available to users of this device.
