Samsung is about to launch two new phablets in the near future. The company is expected to unveil the Galaxy Note 4 on Sept. 3 and an image of the Galaxy Mega 2 has just leaked.
After its first disappointing financial quarter in years, which was attributed to a decline in smartphone sales, Samsung shows no sign of slowing down its release of new handsets. The company just officially launched its premium metal-framed Samsung Galaxy Alpha, which is intended to compete with Apple's upcoming 4.7-inch iPhone 6. The Galaxy Alpha also has a strikingly similar design to Apple's current flagship iPhone 5s, complete with brushed metal chamfered edges outlining its frame.
Samsung will hold an Unpacked event of Sept. 3 where it will officially launch its next-generation Galaxy Note 4 phablet. Images of the Galaxy Note 4 have just leaked and the pictures show a device very similar to the Galaxy Alpha in terms of design. It will also ship with the same metal frame/chamfered edge combination introduced on the Galaxy Alpha.
The Galaxy Note 4 won't be the only phablet Samsung has planned; it's also planning on releasing a successor to its Galaxy Mega phablet. The first details regarding the Galaxy Mega 2 leaked back in March. The phablet was then spotted on GFXBench in June, which revealed some of the smartphone's key specs.
AT&T is expected to partner with Samsung on the Galaxy Mega 2 and its variant, SM-G750A passed through the FCC for certification on the carrier's network in July.
Phone Arena just posted the first image of the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 and its reported specs. The Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 will feature a 5.98-inch and have a resolution of 1280 x 720. It will be powered by a 64-bit 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor and 2 GB of RAM. It will ship with a 13-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front-facing camera. Users will find 8 GB of internal storage and a microSD expansion slot. The device measures 163.6 x 84.9 x 8.6mm.
There's no word on exact release date, but considering the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 for AT&T received FCC approval, its launch should happen pretty soon.
