Leak: Samsung won’t be releasing a Galaxy Note 5 Edge this year

As great as the Galaxy S6 is, many of us are more interested in the slightly larger Galaxy Note 5 that’s expected to launch later this year. Samsung’s Galaxy Note series is both larger and more powerful than its standard flagship smartphones, and is responsible for starting the phablet craze. Last year’s Galaxy Note 4 was an especially good device, so people have had high hopes for this year’s addition to the series, and if these recent hardware leaks are anything to go by, it doesn’t look like we’ll b disappointed. However, some of you may be disappointed by the claims that the Galaxy Note 5 won’t come with an Edge variant this time around.

Samsung is the largest smartphone OEM in the world at the moment. This Korean tech giant has released quite a few devices this year, including their Galaxy S6 flagships that were showcased during the Mobile World Congress back in March. Samsung is expected to announce a number more products before the end of this year however, including the company’s premium phablet, the Galaxy Note 5. The Galaxy Note series is an immensely popular Samsung-branded line, and many people are interested to see what will Samsung do with this line this time around. The Galaxy Note 4 was a very well-built device which combined plastic and metal in order to create a very nice device. Samsung’s new Galaxy S6 devices, on the other hand, sport a metal unibody design, so it is possible that Samsung will take that very same route with the upcoming Note 5. We don’t exactly have much info regarding the design of the device this time around, but a new leaked popped up in Asia revealing quite a few details regarding this device, read on. According to the new info, Samsung won’t release the Galaxy Note 5 Edge variant of the device this time around. If this info is accurate, we won’t be seeing a Galaxy S6 Edge type Note device, which might disappoint some people and is completely the opposite to what we’ve been hearing thus far.
