Along with the Samsung Galaxy Note5, Samsung also announced the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+. The 5.7-inch sized device is more or less a bigger screen variant of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge as it has the same design and processor.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ is the Samsung Galaxy Note5 without a Stylus Pen (S Pen) and a Dual Edge screen. The device sports a 5.7-inch (2560 x 1560 pixels) Quad HD Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 518ppi.
To show that the Dual Edge is no design alone, it features the ‘App Edge’ for easy access to favorite apps by swiping the Edge display and ‘People Edge’ for helping users connect to their close contacts easily.
Under the hood, it is powered by the 64-bit Exynos 7420 which is paired with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 32GB or 64GB internal storage (the UFS 2.0 type). There is no microSD card slot and no 128GB variant launching this year.
On the rear, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ sports a 16MP f/2.2 camera with OIS and LED flash; the front camera is a 5MP f/1.9 camera with wide angle lens for selfies. Connectivity options on the device includes – Bluetooth 4.2, Dual Band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, NFC, MIMO(2×2), ANT+, USB 2.0, 4G LTE (LTE Cat.9 or LTE Cat.6) and GPS/Beidou/GLONASS.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ also comes with Samsung Pay and like the Galaxy Note5, it is backed by a 3000mAh battery with Fast Charging Tech and Qi compatible Wireless charging but a charging pad has to be purchased.
It runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS with TouchWiZ UI ontop, measures 154.4 x 75.8 x 6.9mm in dimensions and weighs 153 grams. Available colour options includes – Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, Silver Titanium and White Pearl.
Pre-orders for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ starts tomorrow and can be tested across about 7000 Samsung Experience stores in the US. The device would be available on sale from Best Buy and the four major carriers in the US – Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T.
