Going by the previous leaks, the Galaxy Mega 2 might come in two variants; one with an Exynos 4415 processor and the other featuring Qualcomm’s 64-bit Snapdragon 410 (8916) SoC with quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU clocked at 1.4GHz and an Adreno 306 GPU. The Exynos equipped Galaxy Mega 2 will be sold in Europe and might feature LTE connectivity.

On the software side, the phablet will feature Samsung’s latest Magazine UX, same as on the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Alpha. It is also said to feature Easy Side Panel, a feature which is supposed to help users with one-handed usability. This feature enables on-screen navigation buttons on the right/left side of the display, depending on the primary hand of the user.
