The UK retailers are yet to announce the pricing and availability of the handset which will run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean once it comes out of the box. The Galaxy Mega 6.3 will be powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core application processor which will integrate 1.5GB of RAM.

As Samsung claims, the Galaxy Mega 6.3 combines the portability and convenience of a smartphone with the power, multitasking capabilities and extensive viewing experience of a tablet.

Alongside the Galaxy Mega 6.3, the company announced a compact version of the device featuring a 5.8in screen. Samsung later confirmed that the Galaxy Mega 5.8 will not be coming to the UK.
