If Samsung's Galaxy Mega (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/16/samsung-galaxy-mega-hands-on/) was the thing you thought your life was missing, it's just landed at the FCC. Yeah, we knowthis isn't the first time (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/21/samsung-galaxy-mega-6-3-hspa-att-fcc/), but this second go-round it's the LTE-sporting GT-i9205 model. The usual lab tests show little that we didn't know already -- unless you didn't know it had LTE Band 5, dual band WiFi, NFC or GSM 850 / 1900. As the 5.8-inch isn't 4G-enabled, this means we're looking at the bigger 6.3-inch version, but still no word on if, when or how a version might land on US shores. Still no harm in limbering up, though, is there?
Update: Upon further inspection, this variant only uses LTE band 5 (850MHz), which no US carrier currently uses. It's very unlikely this I9205 variant will hit the US.
