Samsung Ups Ante In Smartphone Size Wars: 6.3 Inches 221
New submitter jarold writes to note that Samsung has launched two extra-large cellphones: a 6.3 inch LTE ready version, and a 5.8 inch version. "Branded as Galaxy Mega, one would struggle to fit [either in a] pocket or use it with just one hand. The good thing, it is only 8mm thin and weighs under 200 grams. More portable than a tablet, it comes with a durable polycarbonate body. Unlike most of Samsung's latest smartphones, it does not have a super AMOLED panel. Instead, it has an HD super clear LCD display, which is bright enough to please most users. It features split screen and multitasking between video and other apps."
For a phone that big, users might need to brush up on their side-talking skills.

Not everybody wears the XXXL Buster Big Boy Cargo Pants your mom buys you, bro.
A 6.5" by 3.5" "phone" is not going to fit in the average person's pocket. This means it will be used by:
-- women who always have a decent sized purse with them;
-- men who don't mind wearing a fanny pack everywhere they go;
