We’ve known for quite some time now that the Galaxy Nexusis coming to Verizon, but it has been difficult to tie down the exact release date. The most popular rumored launch had been around November 17, but others had suggested the US might not see the device until after Black Friday. Now it appears Verizon might launch the Galaxy Nexus on November 21 for $299 with a two-year contract, thanks to a pair of leaks over the weekend.

The latest date comes from Kellen of Droid-Lifewho posted a list of upcoming product launches for Verizon. The document he shared reveals that the Galaxy Nexus will see a web-only launch on November 21. Verizon might not initially sell the device in stores, but it should be available from big-box retailers, similar to what we saw for the Nexus S launch.

I expect Best Buy will play a role in the Galaxy Nexus launch, and Android Centralposted a leak that shows Costco should be selling the device as well for $289 on contact. We don’t know if that price is for the 16GB or 32GB version of the Galaxy Nexus, but it’s in line with the other high-end LTE devices that Verizon has been selling for $299.

We’re still unsure if the US will see a GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus that would operate on AT&T and T-Mobile, but we’re only 10 days away from the UK launch. Hopefully more details are on the way. How many out there would be willing to switch carriers (to Verizon) in order to be the first wave of people with the Galaxy Nexus?

AT&T has announced that it will sell Samsung’s Galaxy Mega 2 beginning on October 24. The Galaxy Megaline was spawned out of a desire for phablet-sized mid-range devices that wouldn’t break the bank. AT&T picked them up in the US and must have found some success, because it’s back for a second round with the Galaxy Mega 2. The star of the show for the Galaxy Mega 2 is its 6-inch 720p display.

Other specs for the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 include a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB storage, 8-megapixel rear camera, 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, Android 4.4 KitKat and 2800mAh battery. As you can see, the Galaxy Mega 2 is not a high-end device, but fits rather nicely into the mid-range market. It does exactly what it means to by offering a phablet-sized display at an affordable price.

AT&T will sell the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 for $149.99 with a two-year contract or $474.99 without a contract. If you prefer the AT&T Next route, you can get it for $23.75/month for 20 months. The Galaxy Mega 2 will be available for purchase in stores and online beginning this Friday, October 24.

Good news, everybody! The Samsung Galaxy Note Edgewill arrive in the U.S. this month! And what’s more, it’s going to be widely available!

Samsung’s Galaxy Note Edge will bring its unique, curved side screen to the U.S. on November 14, and it’ll be available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon Wireless. So far we’ve gotten pricing details from AT&T and Sprint:

As a refresher, the Galaxy Note Edge has a spec list that’s largely similar to the Galaxy Note 4, save for it’s slightly smaller display. The one big difference is the Galaxy Note Edge’s curved side display, which is a 160 pixel panel that can display notifications and app shortcuts without disturbing whatever you’re doing on the main screen. The Note Edge’s spec list looks like this:

Samsung previously describedthe Galaxy Note Edge as a “limited concept device,” so it’s awesome to learn that it’ll be available on all five big U.S. carriers. Sure, it’s a bit pricey, but that kinda comes with the territory of a high-end smartphone that includes a unique hardware feature.

So now that Galaxy Note Edge availability details are trickling out, who’s buying?
