Okay, so I am the kind of person who believes bigger phones are better, and I was super excited when Samsung revealed the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3. It is also fairly cheap for a smartphone. My one question is this: Is it on Sprint? It would be just like Samsung to release this only on AT&T like they did with the Galaxy Camera and Note. I have Googled it and I can't seem to find an answer.

The Sprint variant Galaxy Mega 6.3 is coming.  You heard it here first.  Oh, and I almost forgot, it is tri band LTE...   http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-354-teaser-megalith-megahertzsamsun

I am still trying to figure out where the salesman went wrong.

Joey, I prefer this pic of you. It's the one I have saved to my contact list for when you call. It makes you look less like a schizophrenic at Oktoberfest. But so much for being anonymous...

There have been no leaks or rumors of it coming to Sprint. Honestly I don't think it will come to Sprint. This is just another of the boatload of phones releases overseas. The Note 3 will be out in a few months. At least the Note will have good specs. The Mega is mid range at best.

Yeah that is true. Thanks. I am very disappointed in its specs. The 5.8 is even worse. I think I will just wait until the Note 3 comes out or I will just buy the GS4 Triband. My Nexus 7 2013 has the perfect screen for me right now, so I'll just stick with it and my GS3 until the GS4 Triband comes out. Thanks again!

The Sprint Samsung SPH-L600 has received Bluetooth Certification, and mtest on cloud4sites.com says it has Android 4.2.2. Early rumors state that the L600 could be the Galaxy Mega 6.3. But then again, it's only a rumor at this point.

Thanks to AJ, I love rocking the rumor boat, lol. Not that it's guaranteed to be released in the end, look at the Samsung SPH-L500 (it's been superseded by the SPH-L520 already).

I honestly don't know what the appeal of the Mega would be against the Note 3. Why would you want an under-spec'd device with a monster screen when you could still have a monster screen with good specs and battery life to match?

Cheep cheap! Midrange phone, cheap cheep price.

True but since most people still buy their phones on contract, the pricing difference is often completely mitigated if one just gets the right Wirefly/Amazon Wireless/etc deal. I'm also a total spec whore who is ALWAYS wanting something more, so it would drive me absolutely bonkers to have something mid-range, even if I did get some tiny little concession in device pricing (plan pricing is where the biggest expense is anyways).

Oh and will this Mega have the precious triband LTE?! Can't wait for the FCC approval!

It would be great if it does. But I'm expecting it to be Band 25 only. :(

I have a feeling Sprint will price this at $149 with 2 year contract given that AT&T is planning to sell it at that price.  I would be shocked if this sells for $99 with 2 year contract.

I got to see this baby today when I went to Tysons Corner and it's a huge screen. It drifnitely has a wow factor just from the size of the screen alone. AT&T is offering it for 149 I think. I didn't get a good look at the contract price but the retail price is much less than the Note 2 which shocked me. 479 vs 700.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
