Samsung has today announced the Galaxy Mega Plus 5.8, a new addition to its super-sized smartphone lineup that gets a quad-core upgrade under the hood. In almost every other way, however, the handset is identical to its dual-core predecessor, the Galaxy Mega.

Chinese manufacturer MediaTek is known for its affordable quad-core chipsets that are used in several low cost smartphones around the world. But the company is now looking to make a big entry into the top-end market with the launch of its new MT6595 octa-core chipset.

By default, many Android notifications make the same sound, so there’s no way to distinguish between emails, messages, and other alerts without actually waking your phone up and looking at them. But it doesn’t have to be like that.

With MegaSound, you can set custom notifications for individual apps, so you’ll know exactly what’s coming in without even having to touch your handset.

Samsung is known to be working with the YOUM flexible display panels since last year; it’s new Galaxy Round — which made it the world’s first manufacturer of a curved glass smartphone — is evidence of that. And a new report from a Korean analyst claims that Samsung might bring this technology to its mainstream devices like the Note series as soon as this year.

We’ve been expecting a price tag and launch date for the Geeksphone Revolution for a while now, and today we finally got them. The world’s first dual-booting handset, which runs both Android and Firefox OS, will go on sale next Thursday, February 20, priced at €289 ($395).
