You can now pre-order the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus

Samsung is really speeding things up with its phablets. Not only did the company decide to announce the next-generation Galaxy Note earlier than expected, it also opened up pre-orders for the smartphone immediately after the announcement, as well as for the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. Now that Apple has entered the phablet market with the iPhone 6 Plus, Samsung wants to avoid competing directly. Best Buy and America’s four major wireless carriers are now accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, which should be shipping out by August 21.
