Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 now up for pre-order online for Rs 30,990

Samsung’s upcoming oversized phablet—the Galaxy Mega 6.3—is now available for pre-order on online shopping website Flipkart. The phablet is expected to somehow be available on the fifth week of June; pre-ordering it will set you back by Rs 30,990. The Galaxy Mega 6.3 doesn’t seem to be available on other websites.

The price on Flipkart is slightly lower than the price at which Samsung had officially launched the phablet last month.

It has an 8 megapixel shooter at the back and a 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera. It also has dual-SIM support and comes with the typical connectivity options including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G and GPS. The Galaxy Mega 6.3 also has NFC support. It is kept alive by a 3200 mAh battery, which should manage to keep it running for quite some time.

The Galaxy Mega 6.3 was launched alongside its smaller sibbling—the still ridiculously-large Galaxy Mega 5.8. The Mega 5.8 is priced at Rs 25,100. Hardware-wise, it more or less has the same specs as the Mega 6.3, but it runs on a slightly underclocked 1.4GHz processor. The other major difference between the Mega 6.3 and the Mega 5.8 is the lack of NFC on the latter.
