Samsung’s understandably uncomfortable with pushing the “phablet” limit on their Samsung Galaxy Note line, but they aren’t afraid to do so with the Mega. While the original large phones weren’t widely available or positioned for the high-end market, they still provided moderately priced options for those who prefer gigantic displays.
New rumors say a follow-up device is in order. The device has leaked in full glory, with new photos giving us a clear look at its back, front and side. The device is typical Samsung and there aren’t really any surprises on the outside for you to get riled up over. As for the hard specs, here’s what we’re expecting the device to sport:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2GHz
- 5.98-inch 1280 x 720 display
- 2GB of RAM
- 8GB of internal storage
- MicroSD card slot
- 13 megapixel rear camera w/ LED flash
- Android 4.4 KitKat
As we expected, it won’t make the cows come home but it certainly should help get you through a long day if you’re in need of a smartphone. Unfortunately there aren’t any hard details on things like a release date or where we expect to see it launched, but we’re sure that sort of info will be provided by Samsung whenever they get around to it. In the meantime, they have bigger (figuratively, not literally) fish to free.
Did I just read 8gb of internal storage? Ha! This phone is doomed
why must they push this mid level crap in both the big and small phones? Im def interested in a 6 inch phone, but not with these specs. The G pro 2 is almost perfect if only it had radios for the US. But everyone else puts crap in the phablets and mini versions of their phones.
If a 5.5″ screen is doable, you should consider the OPPO FIND 7 or 7a.
Easy to mod, works on both AT&T & T-MOBILE 4G LTE.
CYANOGENMOD 11 & PARANOID ANDROID run flawlessly on the FIND 7.
The main website will state no stores available in the U.S., however, their official 3rd party e-tailer is OPPOSTYLE & there you’ll find the link for the US compatible models.
Another bonus:
No tax & free express shipping, got mine in 5 days.
While I prefer high-end hardware, not everyone is willing to pay for that. For instance, my mom (who’s eyesight isn’t what it used to be) is in the market for an affordable phablet. Just waiting for a Mega to hit T-Mobile.
New Samsung phone leaks tomorrow: the Galaxy Mega 2 Mini. Gotta saturate that market!
