Samsung has launched the Galaxy S6 Edge+ in Nigeria but there is no potential release date for the Galaxy Note5 in the country yet. Both smartphones were announced together on August 13th along with the official debut of Samsung Pay in the US.
Courtesy of GSMDome, we got hands on a couple of Samsung Galaxy Note5 Unboxing images. The device comes in the same packing box as the Galaxy S6 Edge+, Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Also, these device have similar specs in common with the exclusion of the curved display, increase in display and the Stylus Pen.
In the box along with the Galaxy Note5 you will find the usual phone manuals – user guide and instructions, a USB cable, a fast charging enabled AC wall charger, a pair of Samsung headphones, the Stylus S Pen accessories and SIM removal tool.
The phablet sized Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a mixture of metal and glass body build which gives it a premium look and feel. It measures just 7.6mm thin, weighs 171 grams but the device can be held conveniently and sports a 5.7-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 14400 pixels.
It is powered by the octa-core Exynos 7420 processor with 4GB RAM and either 32GB or 64GB internal storage but no microSD card slot. It has the fingerprint sensor embedded into the home button and the much improved S Pen can be removed with press to eject or insert system.
Removing the S Pen launches the Air Command with options such as Action Memo, Screen Select, Smart Select and more. It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop OS with Samsung TouchWiz UI ontop, has a heart rate sensor and is backed by a 3000mAh battery with fast charging features.
The Samsung Galaxy Note5 is currently selling in the US for a price tag between $700 to $800 for the 32GB and 64GB variants as there is no 128GB variant this year. While the Galaxy S6 Edge+ is available in several countries, the Galaxy Note5 is still limited to some for now at least.
