The Galaxy S4 and the new Galaxy Mega have similar features.
Users of the new device can customize the lock screen and easily access settings from the drop-down notification bar. Other features of the device include Air View, which enables users to preview their emails and pictures by hovering a finger an inch above the screen. An additional feature of the Samsung Mega phablet is the WatchON app which allows users to control a television via their device.
