Live Large with the Samsung GALAXY MEGA

Just in time for back to school, Samsung Canada introduces the latest
addition to its GALAXY family of devices


MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 13, 2013 /CNW/ - Samsung Canada, the leading
supplier of mobile phones in the Canadian marketplace, today announced
that the Samsung GALAXY MEGA will be available in the coming weeks -
just in time for back to school. Perfect for students on the go, the
GALAXY MEGA gives Canadians the best of both worlds by perfectly
balancing the portability and convenience of a smartphone with the
power, multitasking capabilities and extensive viewing experience of a
tablet on a beautiful 6.3-inch HD screen.



"We are proud to introduce Canadians to the GALAXY MEGA - a device that
will truly enable them to live large," said Paul Brannen, Vice
President Enterprise Business Division Samsung Electronics Canada Inc.
"At Samsung, we have worked hard to ensure that we offer Canadians a
broad variety of high quality mobile devices designed to meet their
individual needs - which is why we are so excited to add the GALAXY
MEGA to our line up."



The GALAXY MEGA helps Canadians live large by ensuring they get the most
out of one device. With a 6.3-inch HD screen - offering an exceptional
viewing experience, and its thin, light design - perfect for
portability, the GALAXY MEGA truly acts as both a smartphone and a
tablet.



The GALAXY MEGA is the back to school accessory of choice:



-- Save time with Air View: Preview information in emails, photos
in Gallery, and speed dial contacts.
-- Capture important memories: The enhanced 8 megapixel
rear-facing camera and 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera, along
with a variety of camera modes, including 'Sound & Shot'
(captures 9 seconds of sound and voice together as the picture
is taken to capture moments) and 'Sports' ensure you don't
forget a single moment.
-- Catch this year's hottest TV shows with WatchON: Easily find
your favourite TV shows or let the app recommend something for
you. And if you've got a Samsung TV, you can use your GALAXY
Mega to control the volume, change the channel and more.
-- Get more done with Multi Window/Split View: Run two apps on the
same screen with Multi Window and take advantage of the Galaxy
MEGA's large screen by using Split & Tablet view for
