SEOUL: Samsung has expanded its Android smartphone lineup with the addition of Galaxy Mega series. The South Korean manufacturer has announced two phones under this range, namely Galaxy Mega 6.3 and Galaxy Mega 5.8. Both the smartphones run on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), which is presently available on only a few devices.

Galaxy Mega 6.3, as the name suggests, features a 6.3-inch TFT HD display and is powered by a 1.7 GHz dual-core processor. This device has 1.5GB RAM and comes in 8 and 16GB memory options, with microSD card support up to 64GB. This phone can connect to the internet over 2G, 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi networks and transfer data via Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0 and NFC. The manufacturer has strapped an 8MP camera with LED flash on the back of the device, whereas a 1.9MP shooter on the front.

The smaller device in the line-up, Galaxy Mega 5.8, touts a 5.8-inch TFT touchscreen and runs on a 1.4GHz dual-core CPU, coupled with 1.5GB RAM. This phone is available with only 8GB internal storage and supports microSD cards with capacities up to 64GB. Connectivity features in the device include 2G, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and microUSB 2.0. On the back of this smartphone is an 8MP shooter with LED flash, while a 1.9MP unit is used on the front panel.

There is no word on pricing, though the company says both devices are expected to launch in May.

"We are aware of a great potential in the bigger screen for extensive viewing multimedia, web browsing, and more," said JK Shin, CEO and head of IT & mobile business, Samsung Electronics. "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."

Just more garbage from Samsung.

Same ugly and broken AndroidOS and bigger device, so damn unintresting and nothing new.

Even my old Nokia N9 still pisses on Samsung Android devices.

Samsung willie waving again?

Its very simple; they are launching devices that are affordable for people in emerging markets too... For example, Galaxy Mega gives you somewhat the bells & whistles of a Note(II) at a fraction of the cost (and specs)...

This is exactly what any sane OEM should be doing; understand your markets and don't expect people to suddenly find the cash for your flagships so give them a suitable compromise...

Some people berating them for just coming up with garbage need to think in terms of $$$ and understand this device isn't targeted at you specifically...
