Samsung is rumored to be bringing two new large-screen smartphones to shelves in the future with the Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 and Galaxy Mega 6.3, originally thought to be called Galaxy Fonblet.
Their sizes have creeped past the Galaxy Note 2 which is 5.5inch but from a specifications standpoint, it doesn’t look like they will be any match for the Galaxy Note 2 successor.
Samsung is also rumoured to have changed the name of its new big-screen phablet devices, rebranding them the ‘Galaxy Mega’ range. These new big-screen smartphone's will sit alongside the Samsung Galaxy smartphone range, but will not be part of the Samsung Galaxy Note line-up.
Right let's look go straight into the rumored specification's of each device.
Galaxy Mega 5.8 (GT-I9152)
5.8” qHD, less than HD resolution display, equipped a dual-core processor, 8MP camera in back, 2MP camera in front, 1.5GB of RAM, 2,600 mAh battery, and a 9.7mm frame. As for the software, it will have Android Jelly Bean running on it and Samsung’s TouchWiz interface.
Galaxy Mega 6.3 (GT-I9200)
As for the larger Galaxy Mega 6.3, the device will evidently be packing a 6.3inch display, which is apparently a PLS HD display (most likely 720p), dual-core processor, 8MP camera in front, 2MP in back, 3200 mAh battery, 7.9mm frame and running Android Jelly Bean with Nature UX interface.
What is clear though is that these, despite their size, likely won’t be any match for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in the specs department. The new Galaxy Note 3 is said to feature a Exynos 5 Octa-core CPU processor, an improved S Pen – neither of these have an S Pen it seems, and a rumored flexible unbreakable display.
Given the specification's of both these handset's, we are expecting Samsung to aim for the midrange market and target the asian regions. Samsung is clearly thinking, more the better! We don't necessarily agree here and expect these handset's to overcrowd the phablet/tablet market and rather confuse consumer's instead. These handset's are bordering tablet's, Samsung need's to get their pricing and marketing right in order to convince consumer's that these device's warrant their attention.
The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is rumored to arrive around mid-June with the Galaxy Mega 6.3 releasing a few weeks later.
The Galaxy Note 3 is rumored for a September launch, we don’t expect these Galaxy Mega handsets to steal much, if any, of the Galaxy Note 3′s thunder.
