It seems the South Korean company takes the adage "Go big or go home" quiet literally with the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge+. The former is the latest iteration of the pioneering phablet and the latter is the souped up version of one of its latest flagships. Both devices feature 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED displays with 2,560 x 1,440 resolution. The S6 Edge+ differs with its screen tapering off, well, the edges. It adds more functionality to take advantage of the edge design. One of the new features is being able to send photos and emoticons through the People Edge feature. The Galaxy Note 5, of course, comes with the built-in S Pen stylus, which is a trademark for this line of devices and can be said to be the more productivity-centered device. Both come equipped with 16-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front camera. Both can be accessed by double tapping on the home button and these come equipped with optical image stabilization and low-light sensor. 

The new devices run on Android 5.1 and Samsung Exynos 7420 64-bit processor with 4GB of RAM. The devices offer either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. They also come with 3,000mAh battery with embedded wireless charging technology that is said to work with most wireless chargers available on the market.
