WASHINGTON: As Samsung eyeing to launch its flagship phablet Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, now the first variants of the device leaked.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus which are expected to debut in August and now photos of Note 5 models in cases prior to now.
The images emerged on GSMArena, who obtained their photo renders from ITSKINS, a case manufacturer who will undoubtedly craft cases for the Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge+. Let’s start with the Galaxy S6 edge+.
The Galaxy S6 edge+ is a supersized version of the Galaxy S6 edge (nothing new here), and, once again, users will need to prepare themselves for the camera bulge found on the back of the device with the rear camera.
GSMArena says that the design looks to have a glass back, which means no removable battery and no microSD card slot.
Moving on to the Note 5, everything appears to be the same externally, which matches the S6 edge+, but one thing remains: the camera. Whereas the S6 edge+’s rear camera will bulge in the same manner as the S6 and S6 edge, the Note 5’s bulging camera seems to be less protrusive and better made to fit on the back of the device.
The reason for these rear camera differences is simple: thickness and thinness. While the Galaxy S6 edge+ is only 6.9mm thin, the Note 5 will be 7.9mm thin.
Samsung may up the traditional Note storage from 32GB to 64GB, as a “helping hand” to Note 5 users. In other words, the microSD card slot will become irrelevant for a number of individuals.
The Galaxy S6 edge+ will feature the same 5MP front camera and 16MP back camera with f/1.9 apertures, in addition to Samsung’s homegrown Exynos 7420 processor (the same found in the S6 and the S6 edge) and 3GB of Samsung’s all-new LPDDR4 RAM.
The Galaxy Note 5 will have a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a Quad HD screen resolution (2,560 x 1,440p), an Exynos 7422 processor (ePOP) that will provide the CPU, GPU, LTE, RAM, and storage on a single chip, with the smartphone world’s groundbreaking 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM (as opposed to the 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM on the Asus ZenPhone 2), a 4,100mAh battery, and perhaps a pre-installed Write on PDF function. Both the S6 edge+ and the Note 5 would be announced on August 12th, with sales to commence on August 21st.
