AT&T announced today that it will offer the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 on October 24th for $475 outright or $150 on a two year service commitment. If you think that’s too much upfront cash, you can also purchase the device through AT&T Next for no money down at $19.80 per month (24 months) or $23.75 a month for a shorter term (20 months).
Samsung this evening has finally officially unveiled the Galaxy Mega 2, a follow-up to last year’s Galaxy Mega 5.8, for overseas countries. But while the device has a gargantuan screen, its specs are nothing to be too impressed with. The Galaxy Mega 2 features a 6-inch display, up from the 5.8-inch model it is replacing, with a 720p display.
A Samsung device with the model number SM-T2558 recently made its way through the FCC, which suggests that the South Korean electronics maker could be preparing to release a new smartphone. Quite possibly the US version of the rumored Galaxy Mega 2, this unannounced handset is said to feature a 7-inch 720p display, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera and an 8-megapixel primary shooter. A thumbs up from the FCC doesn’t exactly guarantee an immediate product release, however it does clarify that Samsung is developing a new gadget that could be coming to the US. However, until the company makes an official announcement, we’ll file model number SM-T2558 in our “wait and see” cabinet.
