Samsung Galaxy Note 5: Samsung just announced its new big Galaxy phones — the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge+. Both phones will go on sale August 21, but we’ll have to wait to hear from carriers on pricing. The Galaxy Note 5 is the newest phone in Samsung’s Note line that’s been around since 2011, while the Galaxy S6 Edge+ is essentially a larger version of the Galaxy S6 Edge, but with some minor additions.

Both phones have 5.7-inch screens with resolutions of 2560 x 1440, which means they’re larger and sharper than the display on the iPhone 6 Plus.
The Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ are both powered by the same processor (a Samsung-made Exynos 7420) that has eight cores, which means they should be able to multitask easily (the more cores there are in a processor, the more tasks it can handle at once without any hiccups).
The main difference between the two new devices, according to Samsung, is that the Note 5 is really aimed at productivity (i.e. editing Google Docs, taking notes) while the Galaxy S6 Edge+ is meant for media consumption (watching Netflix, etc).
Some other core details — both new Galaxy phones feature a 16-megapixel main camera, a 5-megapixel front camera, run Android 5.1 Lollipop, and have 4GB of RAM (that’s a lot for a phone). Both devices come with a new feature that allows you to broadcast video in real-time to YouTube directly from the Camera app.
Samsung seems to have borrowed some design elements from the Galaxy S6 — both phones have glossy, smooth glass backs and metal incorporated into the build. That also means the backs aren’t removeable and there’s no SD card slot — so you can’t swap out the battery or add more storage to your phone.

In addition to giving the Note a more premium design, Samsung has also made some improvements to the S Pen. You can now gently press the top to take it out of its holster, which makes it easier to grab (previously you had to dig under the groove of the top of the pen to slide it out).
