Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 and Mega 5.8 big-screen phones detailed further

What was initially thought to be the Samsung Fonblet, or, the Galaxy Player reincarnation in a phone variant, is now rumored to end up as the Galaxy Mega 5.8, and a Mega 6.3 version was tipped, too.

The Galaxy Mega 5.8, codenamed GT-I9152 is now claimed to feature a 5.8” qHD (960×540) LCD display, 1.4 GHz dual-core processor, 8 MP rear camera, and a 2600 mAh battery, all in under 10mm thick chassis. This one will be in a DUOS variation, meaning you will be able to use two SIM cards and carrier networks at once.

As for the Galaxy Mega 6.3, that baby is slated to come with a dual-core Exynos processor of undisclosed kind, in-cell touch LCD panel, and again with 8 MP camera on the back, as well as a 2 MP front shooter.

Both phones are expected to come at some point during the summer with Android Jelly Bean onboard, and Samsung's TouchWiz Nature UX coated over. Pricing and regions aren't hinted, but, judging from the suggested specs, these should be meant for Asia and Europe at levels that won't make you shatter the piggy bank
