Rumours about the new phablets from Samsung have been confirmed, with the company announcing the Galaxy Mega lineup! These new smartphones are similar to the Galaxy Note family but have a larger screen size.
Featuring two new devices, the Galaxy Mega 5.8 and the Galaxy Mega 6.3 have screen sizes according to their names. Even with the introduction of a 6.3'' screen size, the Galaxy Mega still qualifies as a phone but with a large enough screen to enjoy all the benefits of a 7'' tablet.
