So you say a phone’s too big to live with? Challenge accepted. In this week’s issue, Jon takes the Galaxy Mega 6.3 for a spin to see if it’s prohibitively large, or just stupidly so.

Godzilla, Frankenstein’s monster and Bigfoot are mythical creatures that don’t exist (although you might dispute the latter). But now, an equally beastly smartphone — one seemingly designed specifically for them — is available to buy. The Samsung Galaxy Mega is a 6.3-inch woolly mammoth of a handset, and it reigns as the largest of its kind, even if only for a brief period of time; the title will soon be taken over by the Sony Xperia ZU once it hits the market. We were curious to see how a phone of its size would hold out during regular use, so our friends at Negri Electronics — an online retailer which currently sells the Mega for $570 or $600 (8GB and 16GB, respectively) — were kind enough to let us take one for a test drive for a few days. Is the phone’s magnitude a benefit or hindrance to the user experience? Is it even worth considering if you don’t need the largest possible screen? Find out as we dissect it after the break.

Call the United Kingdom home? Have a thing for overly large, unorthodox smartphones? Well then, today’s a good day to be a Three customer — or plan on being one soon. The carrier has announced that the Samsung Galaxy Mega will be up for grabs on its website starting today, while brick-and-mortar stores are expected to have it on shelves as soon as tomorrow. The enormous 6.3-inch handset is being offered in conjunction with a variety of monthly tariffs, and there’s also an option that takes advantage of Three’s new pay-as-you-go scheme. Better yet, the company says the Galaxy Mega is future-proof, as it’ll be able to support its upcoming LTE network once it goes live. Just remember, though… Three UK is in absolutely no rush to flip that switch.
