June 28, 2025
Update, July 13:According toSamMobile, the Galaxy Note 5 will feature 4GB of RAM. The LP-DDR4 RAM will be integrated on a ePoP solution, according to the source.
Original post, July 8:The announcement of theGalaxy S6 Edge Plusand theGalaxy Note 5is expected to take place atBerlin’s IFA 2015 in Septemberbut a new report has revealed most of the details about Samsung’s upcoming smartphones. There have been plenty ofrumours about the Galaxy S6 Edge Plusandwhether the Note 5 would actually existalongside it and today’s report should help clear up a lot of the confusion.
The report – courtesy ofSamMobile– reveals that both handsets do exist and they will both feature Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) displays measuring 5.7 inches (or 5.67 inches to be exact). Both handsets will also be made available in black, gold, silver and white and will likely also featurefingerprint sensors in the home button like Samsung’s current flagships.
The Galaxy Note 5 (model number SM-N920) will have a flat display akin to theGalaxy S6while the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus will come with adual-curved display like the Galaxy S6 Edge. The report also reveals that both handsets will have a glass black like Samsung’s two Galaxy S flagships, which also means that the handsets could possibly lack a removable battery or microSD card slot.
The report goes on to state that the differences between the two handsets (other than the aforementioned display differences) are likely to be internal. The Galaxy Note 5 – which is known internally as Project Noble – is expected to be the first handset to use Samsung’sExynos7422 all-in-one chipset – featuring a 64-bit octa-core CPU, GPU, RAM, storage and LTE modem – and Samsung was reportedly considering a 4K display before settling on a Quad HD panel.
Moving onto the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus – which is known internally as Project Zen – will be powered by a hexa-coreQualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor(like theLG G4incidentally) and will have 32GB internal storage, a 16MP rear camera with Optical Image Stabilisation, a 5MP front facing camera and a 3000mAh battery. The handset is expected to run Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, may have the ability to shoot images in RAW format and could finally bring a long-awaited fix for theRAM issues that are plaguing the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
Thereported specs of the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Galaxy Note 5suggest that we’re now looking at two smartphones that are bigger versions of the Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6 respectively. Interestingly, today’s report doesn’t touch on theS-Pen– which is a mainstay feature of theGalaxy Note range– and although it’s not mentioned, it’s almost certain that Samsung will offer the S-Pen with its latest big-screen phablets.
