Samsung could soon introduce a pair of large-screen Galaxy Mega smartphones, if recent chatter proves to be accurate.
Rumors surfacing this past week indicate that Samsung may be readying both a 5.8-inch and 6.3-inch Galaxy handset as part of a new line of phones. Early details for the so-called “Galaxy Mega” series point to a midrange Android experience. Both devices are reported to run Android Jelly Bean with Samsung’s own TouchWiz Nature interface.

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 (GT-i9152) is expected to feature a 5.8-inch qHD (960×540-pixel) LCD display as well as a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and a 2,600mAh battery.
It will also reportedly boast a thin, 10mm chassis. What’s more, the rumored dimensions (164×83.8×9.7mm) indicate an overall form factor only slightly larger than Samsung’s Galaxy Note 2. As often is the case with Samsung’s international models, the handset may be offered in single-SIM and dual-SIM (“Duos”) iterations.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3, rumors suggest that the phone will carry an unheard of 6.3-inch HD display. Additional specifications include a dual-core Exynos processor, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is rumored to arrive around in mid-June with the Galaxy Mega 6.3 following a few weeks later.
