If you thought the Samsung Galaxy Note II was huge, take a look at the Galaxy Mega, because it's even bigger!  It's packed to the gills with features, but it's a gigantic smartphone.  Specifications include a 1.7 GHz dual-core Snapdragon CPU, 6.3-inch HD display with 223ppi, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD recording, 1.5 GB of RAM, 3,200 mAh battery, and Android 4.2.2 with TouchWiz.  It's available for purchase through online specialty retailers like Negri Electronics.

From a hardware perspective, it's a mid-range experience, but it offers a new display size for those that want to merge their tablet and phone experiences into one.  Is it worth buying unlocked?  Part 1 of 2.
