Crazy Consumer Electronics World: Is it a phone or tablet? The next Samsung Mega sizes up to 7-inches

The Samsung Mega of yesteryear was already a massive 6.3-inch handset and soon Korean smartphone maker could be readying an even larger seven-inch phablet.

Sam Mobile first spotted the seven-inch "phone" certified as the SM-T2558 by TENAA, China's regulatory telecommunications authority. Along with the model name, the certificate divulged the device would feature a 720p display and an 1.2GHz quad-core processor with 1.5GB of RAM.

Additionally the device will come equipped with 8GB of storage that's expandable with a MicroSD card slot. On the back smartphone photographers will find an 8MP camera along with a 2-megapixel front-facing snapper.

Mega-sized

With the specs above the new Samsung Mega 7.0 will sit in the mid-range class of devices just as its predecessor. While Sammy's new phablet won't blaze any trails compared to today's flagship handsets like the HTC One (M8), lovers of big screens will appreciate the tablet-sized display.

Until the next generation of pocket bulging handsets, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, start coming out phablets users are still looking at options from last year including the Nokia Lumia 1520 and Huawei Ascend Mate 2 4G.

This year we expect to eventually see a new HTC One (M8) Max. Meanwhile, the release of the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 has been pushed back to 2015 according to two separate reports of manufacturing problems.
