Samsung working on 5.9-inch phablet: rumors

The Korea Times claims that Samsung is gearing up for a 5.9-inch device to be introduce in the "latter half of this year".

"Samsung is working on introducing a new phablet using a 5.9-inch organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen", an official told The Korea Times on condition of anonymity.

As per the leaks, the new device will be powered by the proprietary Exynos Octa processor and Samung expects to sell larger number of phablets in the near future, which should help it maintain its leading position in the smartphone sales rankings.

Previously, The Korea Times indicated that the Samsung Galaxy Note III will sport a 6.3-inch screen and will perhaps come with the recently announced Exynos 5 Octa processor.
