Build Quality, Design and Form Factor
Mega 6.3 has same kind of plastic build which you see in Samsung Galaxy S4 or some other similar phones, in terms of the looks it looks like an enlarged s4 with little bit low resolution for this much of display size of the screen. In terms of form factor it is definitely larger to hold in one hand and again to use the device you will require to use both of your hands, one handed usage is limited for this device because of small size but because of the use of plastic, you can easily hold it in one hand it weight just around 199 gram which is higher from the smartphone standard but not from tablet point of view.

The display also had pretty good viewing angles and bright enough as well, you wont notice the softness very easily with your eyes because of the low resolution on this much big display size because of the font size and UI design. It has 16gb internal memory on the device we reviewed and around 12Gb available to the user and it also has the memory SD card slot the rear which can be use to expand the storage if needed.
