As we respect our readers request, without wasting time anymore, we’re today here to root Samsung Galaxy Mega. Actually there is a huge confusion for all Samsung buyers, whether to buy Galaxy grand or Samsung Galaxy Mega. But According to me Galaxy Mega GT I9152 is the best choice
Samsung Galaxy Mega GT I9152 comes with Android Jelly bean, 8 MP camera including 1.9 MP front facing camera. It is capable to handle up to 64 GB micro SD card along with 8 GB internal memory. Everything is better than Samsung Galaxy Grand, no doubt; Grand users feel bad for the purchase they made as both the mobiles costs almost same. However, few features are minimized in Samsung Galaxy Mega as well. In order to feel the hidden features in your mobile, you should root it immediately.
