Don’t get me wrong, the Galaxy S6 is an incredibly powerful device, but some of us want the kind of power that only a massive phablet can provide, and for that we need the Galaxy Note 5. However, now that Apple has entered the phablet market with the iPhone 6 Plus, Samsung is no longer the undisputed king of phablets, which is why the company will be unveiling both the Galaxy S5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus a month earlier than expected so as to avoid directly competing with Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6S Plus smartphone.
Samsung Electronics, which is losing ground to Apple’s iPhone 6, has decided to release the Galaxy Note 5 next month ahead of schedule. Also, the company will launch the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, which has a bigger screen than its popular Galaxy S6 Edge model, next month ahead of schedule as well. It is believed that Samsung tries to not only check Apple, which threatens its number one position in global smartphone market share, but also capture consumers before the release of the iPhone 6S in Sept. According to industry sources on July 21, Samsung Electronics will hold an event in New York on Aug. 13 to unveil the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. Recent reports suggest that the Galaxy Note 5 will feature a 5.7 inch QHD Super AMOLED display, its own Exynos 7422 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 16 megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), along with a stylus pen. The Galaxy S6 Edge Plus will be the Note without a stylus. It will feature a 5.7 inch display, Exynos 7420 processor, 3GM of RAM, and 16 megapixel main camera.
