TheSamsung Galaxy Mega 2 is anAndroidphabletsmartphone manufactured bySamsung, the successor to theSamsung Galaxy Mega. It was released in October 2014.
The Galaxy Mega closely resembles theGalaxy S5, with many similar features. Among its functions are customizable lock screens and quick access to settings via the drop-down notification bar.
The device includes Multi Window functionality (commonly referred to as 'split screen'), enabling users to run multiple applications on a single screen, an ability that is enhanced by the phone's 6.0-inch LCD display.
The display includes Smart Stay, which uses the front-facing cameras to determine if the user is looking at the display, powering off the display if not.[4] The home screen is usable in either portrait or landscape mode.[5] Included in the phone'soperating system is SamsungS Voice, avirtual assistant.
The Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 has a six-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 1280, a quad core 1.5 GHz processor and an 8-megapixel camera. It has internal storage options of 8 GB or 16 GB (of that, 5.34 or 12 GB respectively are usable), and hasdual-SIM capability.[6]
The rear-facing 8-megapixel camera[7] comes with several shooting modes, including:
Users can store additional music, photos and videos with up to 64 GB of expandable storage with an externalmicroSD card. A 2,800mAh removable battery should allow the phone to run throughout the day on a single charge. The Galaxy Mega is powered by a quad-core processor with 1.5 GB ofRAM.
The motherboard of the Galaxy Mega 2 is similar to that of theSamsung Galaxy S5, with a large sub-board housing the processor,SIM card andmicroSDXC card readers, front and rear-facing cameras, microphone assembly, and other components, located at the top of the device, connected to a smaller sub-board at the bottom housing themicro-USB port.

The Galaxy Mega 2 measures 6.6 x 3.46 x 0.31 inches and it weighs 7.1 ounces (201.3 grams). It has a traditionalIPS LCD screen. The rear of the device is made of a faux leather material.
The Galaxy Mega 2 does not have a unibody design or proprietary screws, which allows it to be disassembled relatively easily using a standardPhillips No. 000 screwdriver for repairs.
The Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 shipped with Android version4.4.2 skinned with Samsung'sTouchWiz interface. Samsung's Multi-window Mode is the front and center feature of the device.
Like other Galaxy phones, the lock screen can be customized with widgets and shortcuts. Seven customizable home screens are available. Eleven quick settings buttons in the notification drawer toggle various device features. These includeWi-Fi connectivity, Sound Mode, Ultra Power Saving, and Power Saving.
The device's final software update came withAndroid 5.1.1. AT&T continued providing security updates until the last version came on January 20, 2017.[8] However, international versions of the device only received an upgrade toAndroid 4.4.4, with the final update to this branch occurring on January 22, 2020.[9][10] Samsung has since removed all the updates from its servers.
The Mega 2 has many variants, differing mostly in wireless connectivity offerings and region. All devices have a 6.0 inch display and 1.5 GB of RAM.
Those that have dual-SIM capability are known as variants of the Galaxy Mega 2 Duos.
