The new device sports a very similar (almost identical) design with the original model. It arrives in a sleek body with dimensions 162.6 x 82.4 x 8.99mm. It weighs 183.5 grams. The phablet has a 5.8-inch qHD screen. It boasts a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. The pixel density of the Galaxy Mega Plus is relatively low, only 190ppi. The main improvement in the new phablet compared to the older Galaxy Mega 5.8 is in the processor.

It arrives with 8GB internal memory which can be expanded easily with microSD cards. The phablet features an 8MP camera on the rare panel. There is a 1.9MP shooter on the front panel. The operating system pre-installed on Galaxy Mega Plus is Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
