Great news for those looking for an affordable Samsung smartphone, as the South Korean company had a brand-new family of handsets in its pipeline.

News about the so-called Galaxy Mega On lineup emerged for the first time a few weeks ago and now it looks we are very close to its launch.

One of the handsets belonging to this new family of smartphones has just been spotted at TENAA, a new report claims. The Galaxy Mega On contains affordable mobile phones that will probably make their debut in emerging markets like India.

A few days ago, the Galaxy Mega On has been certified at TENAA, the Chinese regulatory commission, which means we're very close to its release.

Even though the smartphone might be initially launched in China, we expect Samsung to make it available in other countries soon afterwards.

While we don't have any details on the Galaxy Mega On pricing options yet, we do know quite a lot about its specs sheet since the smartphone was spotted in benchmark earlier this week.

Hopefully, it won't be priced too high

It appears that Samsung Galaxy Mega On will come with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system right out of the box. We also know that the smartphone is only 8.2mm thin and weighs 172g (battery included).

The smartphone will sport a large 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution. Also, the handset is likely to be equipped with a 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 412 processor and 1GB of RAM.

Although it packs only 8GB of internal memory inside, the Galaxy Mega On features microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 128GB).

Last but not least, the affordable phablet will pack a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, as well as a secondary 5-megapixel camera in the front for selfies and video calls.
