Did someone order extra large? The Galaxy J Max lives up to its name with a 7-inch screen

Every once in a while, a phone shows up that is so large that it makes us question whether it is just a small tablet with phone functionality. Enter the Samsung Galaxy J Max, which makes us ask that question once more.

The headline feature of the Galaxy J Max that can probably be seen from miles away is its gargantuan 7-inch, 1,280 x 800p resolution display. Yes, the phone’s comically large display eliminates any dream of one-handed use you might have had with the Galaxy J Max, but you do get a large canvas to watch movies and play games on, even though that canvas is not of as high of a resolution as we might like.

The sheer size of the Galaxy J Max allows Samsung to include a 4,000mAh battery, but we are nevertheless a bit disappointed with the battery size. After all, phones like the Blu Energy XL and the ZTE Nubia N1 include 5,000mAh batteries, and they manage to do so while occupying a smaller footprint than the Galaxy J Max.
