GLBenchmark 2.5 Egypt (1080p off-screen)Įpic Citadel shows what the Mega 6.3 gaming will be like at its own screen resolution and with current game graphics (the T-Rex bench pushes harder than any current game). Note that both benchmarks were run in 1080p offscreen mode (that's over twice as many pixels as the Mega's actual screen). If we take the screen resolution out of the equation, GFXBench 2.5 Egypt posts results that are on par with the Mali-400 in the Galaxy Note II, while the newer GFXBench 2.7 T-Rex gives the Adreno 305 in the Mega 6.3 a slight advantage. When it comes to 3D performance, the Adreno 305 is not the fastest, but it only needs to power a 720p screen. Benchmark Piīoth full system benchmarks, AnTuTu and Quadrant, find the Galaxy Mega 6.3 competitive against quad-core A9s and not too far behind newer Krait-based quad-cores. It has an advantage over last year's Cortex-A9 based quad-cores though. As for multi-threaded performance, the Galaxy Mega 6.3 is between 25% and 50% slower than the quad-core flagships. Single-threaded performance is great, close to the Snapdragon 600 high-enders and ahead of older chipsets. It doesn't sound as impressive as the Galaxy S4 flagship, but it should be good enough for a midrange phone. The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 is powered by a Snapdragon 400 chipset, which packs two Krait 200 cores clocked at 1.7GHz, 1.5GB of RAM and Adreno 305 GPU.

Google Now integrates with your Google account and can access your daily routine, internet searches, email, etc. Naturally, being a Jelly Bean smartphone, the Galaxy Mega 6.3 also comes with Google Now.

S Voice is Samsung's answer to Apple's Siri and Google's own Voice Actions - it can be used to initiate or answer a call, dictate text, play music, open an app, change a setting, make a memo (including voice memo), add a reminder, schedule an event, set or snooze an alarm or timer, check the weather, do a search on the internet, take a photo, look for local listings (e.g. You can also pause the music player by putting your palm on the screen. The gestures from S III and Note II are on board too There's direct call (dial the contact whose info you're currently viewing by lifting the phone up to your ear), smart alert (makes the phone vibrate when you pick it up if there are missed events), zooming and panning in the gallery, a shake of the phone to refresh the list of Bluetooth devices and muting alarms or pausing music playback by putting the phone face down. There are a number of motion gestures too, which are not exactly new. Smart Rotate, Smart Scroll and Smart Pause are not included although the Mega has the required hardware for it (a front-facing camera), unlike the Air Gestures, which need a special new sensor on the front. It prevents the screen from locking as long as the front-facing camera can see your face (great for reading). The familiar Smart Stay feature is enabled too. Air view detects fingers 1cm / 0.5" away from the screen, so there's no danger of accidentally tapping the screen when you meant to use Air View instead. texts, calendar entries and so on), previewing videos just by pointing to a spot in the timeline, the next track in the music player by hovering over the next button (works with the previous button too), previewing folders, speed dial contacts, and magnifying links in web pages. There's no S Pen on the Galaxy Mega 6.3, or a need for it - the phone can detect your finger hovering over the screen. The first one is Air View, which debuted on the Galaxy Note II and worked with the S Pen. Some features are left exclusive to the flagship, but the Mega 6.3 still gets a good set. The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 comes with a number of advanced features shared with the Galaxy S4. Air View and Smart Screen, S Voice and Google Now
