Samsung unveils largest smartphone yet: Galaxy Mega
Samsung claims the device will have an HD screen that allows two applications to run side-by-side, including video, but no details have been released about whether this will mean 720p or 1080p.
The company launched its 5.3" Galaxy Note in 2011, creating the "phablet" market of mobile phones that have such large screens that they could almost claim to be tablet devices. But the Galaxy Mega is Samsung's largest mobile phone yet (confusingly, the upcoming Galaxy Note 8.0, although it has an 8" screen, is marketed as a tablet with the ability to make phone calls).
