Now, it has been made available online at the official company e-store. However, there is no word on when it will be released in other e-commerce sites and local brick-and-mortar stores.

The smartphone comes with a 6 inch display which has high definition resolution. As is its display suggests, the phone is quite big; it measures 163.6 x 84.9 x 8.6mm and is 194 grams heavy. The weight of the Mega 2 is partly attributed to its huge 2800 mAh battery as well. The Mega 2 has a 5 megapixel front camera and an 8 megapixel rear camera. There is an LED flash in the rear panel too. The handset is based on Android 4.4 KitKat operating system and comes with a 1.2 GHz quad core processor.

The Mega 2 comes with an 8GB ROM that can be bumped up to 64GB through microSD. In terms of connectivity this 3G phablet supports WiFi b/g/n/ GLP with Glonass and comes with Bluetooth and NFC radios. Along with these hardware specifications, Samsung has also loaded some of its proprietary software on the device including Story Album, Ultra Power Saving Mode,  S Health 3.0, S Voice, Group Play and the S Browser.

With the sub-21,000 price-tag, Galaxy Mega 2 will be competing with recently released LG G3 Stylus, Sony Xperia T3, Xperia T2 Ultra, Lenovo Vibe Z K910, Nokia Lumia 1320, Micromax Doodle 2 A240 and other low-cost domestic smartphones.
