Sorry, Galaxy Note 5, S6 Edge+ buyers: 128GB option was a flub

Of course, all the big Samsung launch hoo-hah focused on the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and the Galaxy Note 5 yesterday, but the company also gave us a quick tease of its next-gen smartwatch. Well, if you have to support a 5.7 inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display, you ought to have a monster of a battery. Samsung Pay software will be preloaded on Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Note 5 devices.

It’s likely that some online retailers will stock the Galaxy Note 5 anyway, but you won’t find the phone from carriers or Samsung, at least not this year. “With the launch of the Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5, we’re reemphasizing our ongoing commitment to bold, fearless innovation that meets the needs of our consumers”.

Samsung is trying to regain lost ground against Apple by revealing two new phones it thinks can take on the industry leader.

There’s the Galaxy S6 Edge+ “phablet“, a follow-up of the Galaxy S6 Edge.

In an interesting move that harks back to pre-touchscreen only phones, Samsung has unveiled a physical keyboard accesory (shown here on the Galaxy S6 edge+) that simply fits over the bottom of the screen.

As well as releasing these two devices to the world, Samsung have also introduced Samsung Pay so users can make transactions with their handsets.

The new phone has all these apart from an improved S Pen, the stylus that slides into the slot right into the phone.

Samsung seems to be flush with new gadgets and projects this season.

The Galaxy 6 Edge+ is an update on the Galaxy 6 and is thinner, faster and flashier than its predecessor boasting a width of just 7mm.

Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 5 on Thursday, and fans of Samsung’s Galaxy Note line of smartphones aren’t very happy with it.

They were to go on sale in the US and Canada from August 21, and other countries later in the month, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported Friday.
