Samsung has brought back the physical keyboard for your smartphone

At the Galaxy Unpacked event held yesterday, Samsung finally announced the Galaxy Note 5 and the curved screen Galaxy S6 Edge+ after a deluge of leaks about the devices had revealed nearly all of their specs and features.

Samsung has unveiled two high-end smartphones, both featuring a massive screen, as well as a mobile payments system – all tactics to compete better with longtime rival Apple and its iPhone 6 success.

The S6 Edge+ also has fast-charging, which according to the company will charge in two hours and it offer wireless charging.

Packing Android 5.1 Lollipop, the phablet-sized phone has a 16MP camera on the back and 5MP front-facing snapper for selfies.

Samsung’s Galaxy S6 Edge first launched in April, but difficulties in producing the curved screens on the device slowed sales.

Samsung is pinning its hopes on e-commerce so that the electronics giant can diversify and boost profits that have taken a hit from slower than expected sales of its smartphones.

The unibody Galaxy Note5 is thinner and comes with a new S Pen and multi-window capabilities. Thankfully, it turns out the company is prepping a new version of Gear VR, though it’s unclear exactly what Samsung has planned.

The fingerprint authentication can be used with the Samsung Pay service, planned to launch soon in Korea and the US.

Samsung discussed some of the finer details of its Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ devices, although did leave out the price, and managed to upset people in the UK at the same time. MST mimics a magnetic stripe, but is powerful enough to transmit data just by swiping the phone near a magnetic stripe scanner, which can be found on any card payments terminal in the United States.

Samsung said the Galaxy Note 5 will only be made available in select markets, while the Galaxy S6 Edge+ will feature wider availability.
