So after all the waiting, rumors, leaked images and hardware specifications we are finally having the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy Edge+. Samsung unveiled the next generation Galaxy devices in an event today.
Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge+ are identical to each other in terms of hardware specs and features except for the displays. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ sports a dual-edge display. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge feature a 5.7-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixels) Super AMOLED screen with a pixel density of 515ppi.
Both of the devices are powered by a 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 SoC with four Cortex-A57 cores clocked at 2.1GHz, and four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.5GHz and Android 5.1 Lollipop OS. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy Edge+ come with the 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM which is highest any Samsung device ever got.
The camera used in both of these devices are the same one which we got in Galaxy S6 with improved performance and features. So, we got a 16MP primary camera and 5MP front facing camera which can be quickly accessed by double pressing the Home key. There is a new camera feature called VDIS (Video Digital Image Stabilisation) which is another form of image stabilization technology. It works along with the OIS and standalone to produce better quality stabilized video.
Samsung Pay is a cool new app which let you do the payment virtually at any shop as it supports NFC, barcode readers etc. Live Broadcast is a feature which let you quickly share the content with your friends and family. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ comes with a special new UI feature called Apps Edge to take advantage of the curved display.
Galaxy Note 5 also features a new and improved S Pen with features like one-click eject, taking notes without unlocking the screen, updated Air Command, Scroll Capture etc. You can also attach the physical keyboards to both devices looking like BlackBerry keyboards.
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge+ are having the non-removable 3000mAh battery with Fast Charging feature which supports wireless charging as well. So you will be able to charge your device in just two hours with wireless charging and 90 minutes with the corded charger.
