Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 Specs Leaked [Rumor]
Rumor has it that Samsung could be working on new phablet-like devices under the Galaxy Mega moniker. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen, but as it stands, there are two devices part of the alleged Galaxy Mega lineup – a 6.3″ model and a 5.8″ model, and thanks to the folks at SamMobile, they claim to have gotten the specs of the 5.8″ model, also known as the Galaxy Mega 5.8. Interestingly the specs appear to be rather mid-ranged and somewhat outdated, but if we had to guess, perhaps Samsung is looking to attract customers to their phablet range by making it cheaper than the Galaxy Note 2, and hopefully the experience will prove to be good enough for customers to eventually upgrade to the Galaxy Note 3, or Galaxy Note 4 in the future.
So what sort of specs are we looking at? For starters it will feature a 5.8″ qHD display and will be powered by a 1.4GHz dual-core processor with 1.5GB of RAM. It will come with an 8MP rear-facing camera, a 2MP front-facing camera and will most likely run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Take these specs with a grain of salt for now, and as there is no official date as to when the Galaxy Mega will launch, fret not as we will be keeping our eyes peeled, so check back with us at a later date for more info.
So, there is a new Samsung smartphone that is about to be released – big surprise, that, and I say this with full a sarcasm. Still, those who want something that looks to hang out on the high end side of things in terms of design and form factor, and yet having a mid-range performer within, can always settle for the Samsung Galaxy A9.
The handset has already appeared on the FCC database, which means it has been approved, and listed as the Samsung Galaxy A9. With the green light given, it is but a matter of time before it hits the market. While very little detail has been released so far, it should not be too long now before an official announcement is made. All that one can do now is to sit tight and wait. [FCC Page]
If you would like to fancy your chances with an upcoming mid-range device that seems to hover more on the higher end scheme of things, then the Samsung Galaxy A9 would certainly fit you to a ‘t’, so to speak. After all, accessory manufacturer ITSKINS has shared more details concerning this device, with the Galaxy A9 touted to be a wee bit more compact as opposed to the Galaxy S7 Plus, never mind that both handsets will come with 6.0″ screens.
Measurements of the Galaxy A9 include 161.9mm x 81.3mm x 7.34mm, where it would be slightly taller than the Galaxy Note5, while sporting a metal and glass design, a fingerprint reader that should be able to handle mobile payments, a Full HD Super AMOLED display, and a Snapdragon 620 chipset, among others.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 will no doubt be a smartphone that many people would look forward to picking up when it is ready, taking into consideration how flagship devices are always in demand. Well, the Galaxy S7 has been said to target an early 2016 release, and some photos of the alleged device has already been snapped, although one should take into consideration that the original Weibo post is no longer there.
Of course, do take this particular leak with a pinch of salt, since it could be one of the numerous smartphones from various manufacturers that could roll out a similar looking handset. In the leaked photos, you can see a wrap-around metal border design, which seems to be the in thing at least for the next couple of years. All that we can do now is to sit tight and wait for the real deal to surface.
