Samsung announces new Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+

A full wireless charge could be obtained on both phone models in two hours, according to Samsung. It came as a little surprise when Sammy decided to have the same 16MP one for the Samsung Galaxy S6, but we were hoping that it will bump up the camera MPs in the new Note.

The two smartphones have similar base product specifications, with both sporting a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED 2560 x 1440 (518ppi) display.

JK Shin, president and CEO of Samsung Electronics, holds the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, left, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 during a presentation, Thursday, August 13, 2015, at Lincoln Center in New York. There’s LTE Category 9 on board, as well as 16 MP front and 5MP rear cameras. Combine that with the fact that there is no microSD card support either, suddenly users who are used to expandable memory will have to find new ways to juggle their storage space.

In the US, Samsung has announced partnerships with major credits cards, banks and store-branded credit cards, including American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Bank of America, Chase and US Bank. In its stead, Samsung will be pushing the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ phablet in Europe.

Also, the S-Pen is made from sturdier materials unlike before. By contrast, the S6 Edge+ is just a very large phone. So what’s new with the Samsung Galaxy Note5?

“Both devices offer an immersive viewing experience and they fit right in the palm of your hand”. The Note 5 features a 5.7 inch display, faster charging capabilities, an upgraded S Pen, and improved productivity and creativity features. However, a Canadian carrier has already disclosed that Galaxy Note Edge users will receive Android 5.1.1 in this month.
