Samsung Galaxy now comes in 5.8 & 6.3 inch Mega size

technologyEdward Kiledjian
Samsung recently released the much anticipated Samsung Galaxy SIV (S4) and the market was clamoring to see what Samsung would do with the Samsung Note 3. Imagine our surprise when Sammy announced a brand new line of Galaxy phones called Mega.
The Samsung Galaxy Mega will come in 5.8" and 6.3" models but isn't targetting the high end crowd. Based on the released specs, these will be mid level phones (performance wise). As an example, the 5.8" will come with a 189.9ppi qHD screeen, 1.4GHz dual-core processor and an 8MP camera. 
The larger 6.3" device will have a slightly better screen, processor and battery but the key differentiator is that this model will come equipped with LTE.
It is obvious this will not canibalize the Note market but this means Samsung now has devices from smartphones all the way to tablets and everywhere in between.
