Joining the likes of Huawei, Samsung today announced two new Android smartphones that feature massive display-sizes. Aptly named by the company as Galaxy Mega, the phones will be released in both 5.8 and 6.3-inch displays.
According to a press release issued by the company, Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 and Galaxy Mega 6.3 will be available beginning next month in Europe and Russia. There is no word on the Asian availability right now; however we won’t be surprised to see them land in the continent given the popularity of phablets in the Asian markets.
“We are aware of a great potential in the bigger screen for extensive viewing multimedia, web browsing, and more. We are excited to provide another choice to meet our consumers’ varying lifestyles, all while maintaining the high-quality features of the award-winning GALAXY series,” said JK Shin, CEO and Head of IT & Mobile Business, Samsung Electronics.
Along with some decent specifications, Samsung has also included software customisations like Group Play, Samsung WatchOn and S Translator, which were recently introduced in the company’s flagship Galaxy S 4 model.
In addition, both Galaxy Mega phones will also come with newly introduced S Travel and Story Album features.
S Travel: Provides trip information, local guides and resources and more
Story Album: Allows customers to create albums of daily events, keep special moments in one place using a timeline, geo-tag information and publish digital albums in hard copy
