Official Samsung Galaxy Note 5 & Note 5 EDGE

[Piesang]

Rumored Launch Date - September/October 2015

So far there's a lot of rumors about what the Note 5 & Note 5 EDGE will look like.

The main thing that's making me wait is the idea of a Note with dual edge screen. Same as the S6 Edge. BUT, with
a 5.89" Screen. That could be awesome.

Galaxy Note 5 to have 4K screen and dual-edge version?

Note 5 could come with UHD 2160×3840 pixels display, and a dual-edge version with record 762ppi

Concept. Might look very close to the original.

I was thinking of waiting for the Note rather than the S6.

The drawback will probably be, if the Note 5 'range' follows the same design principles as the Galaxy s6 and the same pricing on its contracts, I get the feeling it's going to be hugely more expensive than what I'd be willing to fork out

I am also curious whether the Note 5 will use the same design principles as the S series.

The Note 3 didn't seem to match the S4 (Leather Back)
The Note 4 was also different from the S5 (Metal design)

Lets hope the Note 5 isn't just a bigger version of the S6 or S6 edge. I hope they include a memory card, bigger battery and some sort of removable cover. I guess with the S-Pen which slides into the device, it cant be a sealed unit so there is hope for a removable cover.

Don't think I'll get the Note range this year... loving my S6, and the note features and big screen is are more than I can actually need.

 

[faniebraai]

I thought the Note 4 and Note Edge would have been the last in this series. In fact, a month ago I was at Samsung and I asked about the Note Edge and they confirmed it was the last in the series.

Strange...

Why would it be the last???? makes no sense.

 

[faniebraai]

Just the fact that Samsung said it was the last in the range. They are continuing on the S6 and next year the S7.

Galaxy S series and Note series have been going for years. They address two different requirements imo. The Note 5 will happen, and so will the S7

I can't wait for the Note 5 to be announced. If it's just slightly better than the S6, it will be a great phone.

I hope, if it has to have two edges, they make them functional like the Note 4 Edge at least.

Can't see myself moving from my Note 4 at this stage unless the Note 5 is something really revolutionary...

Dual-SIM would be pretty exciting...

Other than eye candy and the slightest gimmicky functionality of the edge, I don't really see why people want both edges curved, it serves a Samsung -only purpose for some built in stuff is all.
I'd rather have a flat screen n can stick a tempered glass protector to

But it looks awesome

If the Note 5 is close in spec to the speculation....then they can just 'shut-up and take my money'

If they include a dual SIM, then the competition might as well close up shop

what competition?

This is some bad news for most hardcore Galaxy Note fanboys. I was thinking about getting the Note 5 with my next upgrade just because I can. But no memory card slot?? That was one of the reasons why I didn't go for the S6Edge.

Will this be a deciding factor for some of you guys or doesn't it bother you at all?

doesn't really bother me as 64gb is quite a lot... but I won't be getting this device this year

This Note 5 must really be something awesome to make me change my mind. So far I'm not getting it either.

 

[Bufamotis]

The s6 range is going for ~8-9k, the note 4 at 10-11k... The note 5 is probably going to price near on 13k I guess. Unless the operators plan on real subsidies, I'll probably give it a pass though I'd love to have a 64gb version

Had a look at a edge + at samsung store in Cresta today. Pretty impressive piece of kit. More impressive is how comfortable it is to handle vs previous 5.7inch devices from Samsung. I'd certainly go for it.

 

[michellej]

Totally agree, beautiful device. Waiting on contract prices.
