Hasta La Gadget!

Not too long ago it was rumored that come IFA 2014 Samsung is going to release a successor for its Galaxy Mega smartphone. A lot of information about the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 has already been leaked online. Even though the device hasn’t been formally announced yet it appears that some retailers have already jumped the gun down in Malaysia and Thailand. Local websites are now posting reviews of the Galaxy Mega 2.

The first preview for Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 was published online by a Thailand-based website called Droid Sans. It posted several high quality pictures of the device as well, giving us our first proper look at the Galaxy Mega 5.8 and Galaxy Mega 6.3 successor.

The display size on this particular smartphone sits between its two predecessors at 6.0-inches, offering 720 x 1,280 pixel resolution. It is certainly no Android behemoth as the specifications keep it firmly in the mid-range category.

As per the preview the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 has a 1.4GHz quadcore Exynos 4415 processor with 1.5GB RAM. There’s an 8 megapixel rear camera, a 2,800mAh battery and LTE capability. Android 4.4.4 is said to be preinstalled on the device.

We should expect a formal announcement from Samsung for the Galaxy Mega 2 nonetheless. The company will be showing off the device at IFA 2014 next month. Reportedly the Mega 2 costs $400+ in the aforementioned countries, no word as yet what its price is going to be in North America.

If you aren’t the best about backing up your smartphone data, that lack of backups may come back to haunt you if you lose or break your device. I can’t even call my own wife without my smartphone because I no longer know any numbers by heart. If you are on Android or iOS a new charging cable is on Indiegogo called Bleep, that provides added peace of mind for your valuable mobile data.

Bleep is a cable that is designed to charge your device and backup your data. One end of the cable has up to 64GB of storage space inside. An app on the phone makes sure that each time you plug in to charge your data gets backed up too.

The idea here is that the data gets backed up locally making backups easy to perform even if the internet is down. Bleep is looking to raise $20,000 and you can get in on the early bird action with a 16GB cable for $40. Deliveries are expected to start in August 2015.
