Electronics company Samsung unveiled a new device that blends the differences between smartphone and tablet: the new Samsung Galaxy Mega, which will be available as a 5.8 and 6.3-inch model.
Samsung is committed to blend together the smartphone’s portability with the convenience, power, multitasking capabilities, and extensive viewing experience of a tablet. Until now, the poster child for this situation was the Galaxy Note II device. Not any more – today Samsung introduced a cheaper alternative to the Galaxy Note II, the new Galaxy Mega. The device will be marketed as a 5.8 and 6.3-inch model.
“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.”
