Samsung Announces Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Note 5

August 13, 2015 by John P.

Note5 GALAXY S6 edge+

Samsung Announces Two New Phones

Interestingly, Samsungs newests releases, the S6 Edge+ and the Note 5 share one thing in common – a 5.7″ screen. But in the case of the former, you’ll see the screen wrap around the edges, weigh a little less, and lack the S-Pen support found in the Note 5. But otherwise, dimensions and specifications are extremely similar.

Both phones also offer Samsung’s new fast wireless charging technology which promises to charge wirelessly faster than most phones will charge with a cable.
