While the expected release date for the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 should be around this month, the device is already sold in Thailand and Malaysia. This gave us a little preview of the upcoming Mega 2, as we wait for its official release.

Previously, the device came with a code name "Vasta", and was first officially reported back in March. It was expected to be released in two types: one with a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor and another one with a Samsung Exynos 4415 chip. It was also expected to come with a 12 megapixel camera, and an 'Easy Side Panel' with buttons that allow on-screen navigation. These claims are yet to be confirmed after the official release of the Mega 2.
