AT&T announces that it will sell the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 beginning October 24
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:

Will be displayed in “select” retail stores and available via direct fulfillment on Nov. 7. Full in-store availability to come at a later date. Sprint – $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $35 (retail price of $840).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:
5.6-inch 2560×1440 Super AMOLED display 160 pixels on the side Edge screen 2.7GHz quad-core processor 16-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization 3.7-megapixel front camera 32GB of storage microSD card slot 3GB of RAM 3000mAh battery Charcoal Black and Frost White color options Android 4.4 KitKatSamsung 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?
