Both Mega handsets aren't flagship Samsung models and will still be coming behind their premium Note series in terms of specs and features. So if your budget is a little short of a Samsung Note handset and don't need much of its features, you could settle for these Galaxy Mega models instead.

Availability and pricing details aren't that much complete yet, but Samsung reveals that these handsets will start shipping in May initially in Europe and Russia. No specific mention of any US or other region release as of this time. There are also no other price hint given except for one German retailer offering Galaxy Mega 6.3 pre-orders priced at €699.
