The S6 Edge+, which is expected to reach the UK in on September 4, has a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display and the same curved glass design that debuted with the S6 Edge.

Essentially, the only difference between the phones is that the S6 Edge+ has a screen that curves around its edges and the Note 5 includes a stylus, with Samsung believing it is best suited for the business market.
It’s been a tough couple of months for the South Korean tech manufacturer, with Apple’s new-found concentration on large-screened phones putting a dent in their profits.
Given the what I think is unwise premium pricing for the Note 5 and S6 Edge+, that may be a good thing. Apple offers the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in a 128 GB model, but Samsung wants to make their phones more affordable and plans on reducing the cost of their phones in the future. Samsung only announced 32 and 64GB versions of the new phones, though, frustrating many would-be buyers, especially since the phones lack a microSD slot.
Samsung announced two new mobile devices today, and both were to be expected.
After the release of the Galaxy S6 Edge and the Galaxy S6, Samsung’s operating profits dropped by 38 percent, according to The Wall Street Journal.
There is a feature on the S6 Edge+ called “Apps edge” that lets you quickly get to your favourite apps, while “People edge” helps you quickly find contacts.
There is no real surprise for the Galaxy Note fan except for the S Pen and it seems to similar to The Galaxy S6.
JK Shin, President and CEO of IT & Mobile Division, Samsung Electronics, launched the company’s new phablet flagships. Because the new watch also omits the “Galaxy” moniker, it’ll also be running Tizen, which might be a bit of a turn-off, but some of the watch faces shown look pretty damn sexy.
