Now that Samsung's latest flagships, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, have been released, focus is now turning toward what the company has up its sleeve for the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy Note Edge 2.
Samsung really stepped up its phablet game when it unveiled the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge at IFA in Berlin last September. Unlike previous follow-ups to its immensely successful Galaxy Note phablet series, the company showed off its innovative prowess by not only introducing its highly anticipated Galaxy Note 4 at the trade show, it also unveiled a second phablet. The Galaxy Note Edge, for all intents and purposes, is a Galaxy Note 4 that features identical specs and a unique single-curved display that extends past the right edge of the device, allowing users to take advantage of that extra real estate to display information, shortcuts and more, without losing focus of the content on the main screen.
Samsung has used IFA in Berlin over the past few years to launch its next-generation Galaxy Note phablet, and we're now getting some details on what the company is planning to unveil at this year's show, which takes place Sept. 4 to 9.
SamMobile is reporting that Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy Note 5 and second generation Galaxy Note Edge. The site claims that it has heard from its sources that the Galaxy Note 5 could feature a 2K or 4K flat-screen Super AMOLED display and brand new Exynos 7422 processor, which will reportedly combine the processor, GPU, RAM and storage on a single chip.
The site's sources claim that the second-generation Galaxy Note Edge is codenamed "Project Zen" and that it will not have the same high-end specs as the Galaxy Note 5. The phablet will reportedly feature a 5.4- or 5.5-inch dual-edged Super AMOLED display similar to that of the Galaxy S6 Edge. The smartphone is said to include a hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor, 16 GB of internal storage, 16 megapixel rear camera and 8 megapixel front-facing camera.
As always, it's best to take reports of unannounced and highly anticipated smartphones with a grain of salt for now. We'll be sure to keep you posted.
