We got a chance to try this device at the launch venue. We think that both of these devices are freakishly huge but still there is a userbase for these kind of products here in India. Both the devices has that typical Samsung build with S4 like bezel but humongous. Both the devices are bundled with Rcom and Vodafone to provide 2GB free 3G/EDGE data for 2 months on Vodafone and 3 months on Rcom. Both of them come in two color options that is black and white similar to hat we saw with the S4.

The Mega 5.8 is priced for 25,100 with availability from next week whereas Mega 6.3 will be available from 10th June 2013. So what do you think about it? Do leave your comments in the section below.
