Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 EdgePlus hands-on and specifications

Hands-on impressions on the long-rumored Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 EdgePlus are making headlines around the web. A Thai advertisement agency has published the first images of the sales packaging as well as the core specifications of the Note 5 phablet.

According to the source, the Galaxy Note 5 will have the following specifications:

• CPU: Exynos 7420 SoC
• Display: 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED
• RAM: 4 GB RAM
• Storage: 32 GB eMMC
• Cameras: Rear 16 MP, Front 5 MP
• Software: Android 5.1.1
• Battery: 4100 mAh

The Note 5 will also support wireless charging, though the pad must be purchased separately.

Meanwhile, the new S-Pen for the Note 5 will have its own recessed housing in the phablet itself. The pen uses a push-type function for ejecting and inserting as previously rumored.

Some notable downsides to the phablet include no MicroSD support and a non-removable battery. The Reddit source also claims that the Note 5 looks and feels better to hold compared to the Galaxy S6 EdgePlus. Samsung will officially unveil both devices this on August 13 during its NYC Unpacked event.
