Samsung Thailand lists 6-inch Galaxy Mega 2
Samsung Thailand has listed its latest smartphone, the 6-inch Galaxy Mega 2. Presumably rolling out to a wider release in the coming weeks and months, the device picks up where the last model leave off.
Powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, you’ll also find 1.5GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. In terms of cameras we have an 8-megapixel rear and front-facing 2.1-megapixel duo. As for the massive 6-inch screen, well, it’s 720p HD resolution. Definitely not leading edge stuff, no, but it should do the job for the general masses.
It’s not clear if or when the Galaxy Mega 2 might make its way to the United States; AT&T carried the first generation so we might look to them, if anyone.
Anyone interested in a plus-sized, entry-level handset?

Samsung’s upscale Galaxy Alpha reaches AT&T on September 26th
Good news: if you want Samsung’s slimmer, ritzier Galaxy Alpha in the US, you won’t have to beg your Canadian friends to ship an unlocked unit across the border. AT&T has revealed plans to carry the Alpha starting on September 26th, the same day it launches up North. Be prepared to pay a premium for this compact yet speedy Android phone, though. The Alpha will cost $200 on a contract, or $613 contract-free. That’s not much different than what you’d pay for the larger, slightly more powerful Galaxy S5 — you’ll have to really value the Alpha’s metal-clad design for AT&T’s pricing to make sense.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 sales reach a million units in Germany
The Galaxy S5 went out of limelight since the announcement of the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge but Samsung has decided to bring it back to consumers attention by revealing the sales figure of the Galaxy S5. According to Samsung, the their flagship device is still doing pretty great as the Galaxy S5 sales have reached over a million units in Germany alone. These numbers do not belong to the units shipped to stores but the actual number of units which have been sold to consumers.
This should be a great news to Samsung, especially when Apple has announced the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 plus with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens respectively. The Galaxy S5 got off to a good start after its release, though not as great as the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy S4. Within 10 days of its release, Samsung had managed to ship over 10 million units throughout the globe, especially due to good carrier tie-ups and availability in more countries. We’ll have to see how the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge fare against the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus when they become available later this month.

From paper to pixels: the arrival of the e-reader
Ray Bradbury, the author of Fahrenheit 451, once said: “Nothing a computer can do can compare to a book.” For some, the pleasure of flipping through a paperback may never change, but pragmatism is starting to take hold. More people than ever are opting for e-books; the benefits of having a virtual library in your pocket outweigh the nostalgia for physical books. And although modern e-readers have been around in some form or another for over two decades, the evolution and adoption process has been a long and complex one. Join us as we take a look at some of the key moments in the e-reader’s history.

Oculus wants a VR app store for every device you can think of
When we saw the Samsung Gear VR at IFA, Oculus CTO John Carmack showed us a basic version of an app store made for mobile virtual reality. But when the headset ships to consumers sometime later this year, the VR outfit has bigger plans. It’s rebranding the current Oculus Share “store” into Oculus Platform and turning it into a launcher of sorts for apps and other experiences, as noticed by TechCrunch. Platform will act as common store across the firm’s entire platform including the Rift and mobile. Like the prototype from earlier this month, the store will exist within virtual reality and will house games, apps and stuff like the virtual movie theater, Oculus Cinema.
The plan is eventually to have it available on just about any platform you can think of: Android, Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, iOS, Safari and Windows Phone. In case you were wondering just how seriously Oculus and Samsung (OcuSam? SamUlus?) were about this whole thing, that list should help erase any doubts. What’s more, when Oculus releases its own apps to Platform it’ll release them as open source as well. Want the Oculus-branded movie theater to look more like your local multiplex? You’ll be able to fix that.

Samsung’s Galaxy A5 device leaked in pictures and specs
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha, one of the nicest looking phones Samsung has ever released, is now the inspiration behind the new Samsung “A” line of devices. The first device in this line will be called the A5, and it is the start of something good.
Details for the Samsung A5 have been leaked by sammobile.com. The device will be considered a mid-range device with a 5-inch HD Super AMOLED display, a 13-megapixel camera, a Snapdragon 400 processor, 2,330 mAh battery, 16GB of expandable storage, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.
The most interesting thing here will be with the material that Samsung uses to make the device. The A5 won’t be made of metal, or plastic. According to Sammobile’s source, it will be a material that feels just like metal, but it will be as cheap to manufacture like plastic.
If samsung can find the sweet spot between the very popular S line and the premium look and feel of the Alpha device, They will be looking at a great line of devices.
Let us know what you think of this new phone, the Samsung A5.

The 10 phones that fueled the big-screen revolution
It’s safe to say that Steve Jobs was off the mark when he declared that no one would buy big smartphones — they’ve become popular enough that Apple itself is now making large iPhones. But how did these supersized devices escape their niche status to become the must-haves they are today? The transformation didn’t happen overnight. It took a succession of ever-bigger phones to spark the public imagination and prove that huge screens were here to stay. We’ve rounded up 10 of the most important examples — head on over to our gallery see how enormous became the new normal.

Samsung’s Galaxy A5 has some Alpha style, but not the substance
Samsung likes to get some mileage out of its lofty design themes and plenty of people have gone gaga over the Galaxy Alpha’s subtle style, so it’s no surprise that the phone’s design DNA is being injected into other devices. SamMobile has been reporting for a while now that the Korea electronics giant has been working on a range of phones — the so-called A series — that feature some of the Alpha aesthetic, and now they’ve obtained images of the first one. It’s called the Galaxy A5, and if these reports hold true it falls very firmly onto the middle of the road. There’s a 5-inch Super AMOLED screen running at 720p up front, paired with a 13-megapixel rear camera and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset ticking away within the minimalist frame that may or may not actually be made of metal. Yeah, we know, it’s a bummer, but the more modest price tag that’ll almost assuredly stick to it might make the change in materials worth it.
