Along with the Galaxy Note 5, Samsung also announced the Galaxy S6 Edge+ which is a bigger version of the very popular Galaxy S6 Edge.

Samsung increased the display size of the Galaxy S6 Edge to make the S6 Edge+ which is now at 5.7-inch. That’s exactly the same size as the Galaxy Note 5.

So it looks like the Galaxy S6 Edge+ is the Galaxy Note 5 transformed into a curved phablet, perhaps replacing the Note Edge. Even the hardware configuration is also the same as the Note 5.

Samsung to release dual-SIM Galaxy Note 5 in the Philippines

We have confirmed with local representatives that Samsung is going to release a dual-SIM version of the Galaxy Note 5 in the Philippines. This follows the same move they made with the Galaxy S6 when they also released the dual-SIM version.

The international version will still be single-SIM, but the ones that will be officially released in the Philippines will be the Note 5 Duos (as per the naming convention used by Samsung).

Again, this puts the focus on a secondary SIM slot is lieu of that missing microSD card slot. Just like the Galaxy S6, only the first SIM card slot will have LTE although both trays will support nano-SIM.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 officially announced!

Samsung Mobile has finally made the global announcement of the Galaxy Note 5 here at the Lincoln Center in New York. Sporting an all-metal body wrapped with Gorilla Glass both at the front and back, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is the first in the Galaxy Note family to carry unibody design.

In terms of hardware configuration, the Galaxy Note 5 basically followed the route of the Galaxy S6 with a few improvements like more RAM (4GB LPDDR4), bigger screen and higher battery capacity. Aside from the S Pen stylus, all the rest are basically the same.

The Galaxy Note 5 will no longer have a removable battery due to its unibody design. There won’t be any expandable storage since it also dropped the microSD card slot.

Two colors will be initially available — gold and black, but a special color variant, silver, will be released later as well.
