http://cdn.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/imagecache/w680h550/postimages/108579/grand1_0.jpgRumored 'Galaxy Fonblet' gets a name change, reportedly coming in 5.8 and 6.3-inch varietiesSamsung clearly sees the future in big-screen smartphones. In addition to recently announcing the 5-inchGalaxy S4 (http://androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4), it's got the similarly-sized Galaxy Grand (http://www.androidcentral.com/hands-samsung-galaxy-grand) on the way, not to mention the 5.5-inch Galaxy Note 2 (http://androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-review). So what's next? According to the latest round of reports, a new line of 5.8 and 6.3-inchers.
Today's report comes from SamMobile, which has a pretty solid track record when it comes to unannounced Samsung devices. Reportedly the Galaxy Mega 5.8 (GT-i9152) will pack a 5.8-inch screen and appear from the week commencing May 27. Similarly, the Galaxy Mega 6.3 (GT-i9200) should pack a 6.3-inch screen and emerge around the week starting Jun. 17. The new "Mega" branding is apparently a replacement for the (somewhat cringeworthy) "Galaxy Fonblet" name that was being bandied about prior to MWC (http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-rumored-be-launching-enormous-smartphone-ridiculous-name-europe).
No details on internal specs are offered, but the product codes suggest neither "Galaxy Mega" device will be a particularly high-end handset. What's more, the Galaxy Mega 5.8's code suggests it may be offered in a dual-SIM "Duos" variant, like the Galaxy Grand. And the Mega 6.3's size would tie in nicely with the limits of Samsung's recently-announced game pad accessory.
