Recently, Samsung reported that the demand of the128GB versions of Galaxy S6 duo was declining, due to a hefty price tag of $970 upon its launch. The profile also reveals that the phablet will be coming with a 1440 x 2560 Quad HD display and it will probably be the Super AMOLED display that Samsung has been bandying about.

The user agent profile of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, tied to the model number SM-G928P, was also part of the leak originated from Sprint.
I’ve been to numerous launch events for flagship smartphones over the years: the G1, the Palm Pre, Verizon Wireless’ (NYSE: VZ) launch of the iPhone, the Samsung Galaxy S4 extravaganza at Radio City Music Hall, the LG G3 and more.
With the Galaxy Note 5 photos, we see a phone that looks a lot like previous Notes, only with a glossier, Galaxy S6-like shine. The folks at Mobilefun.co.uk have released a handful of photos that seem to show the boot screen of the upcoming Galaxy Note 5 an Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.

If the images are the real deal, Samsung, as expected, isn’t changing what made the Galaxy S6 so successful. This new phablet appears to have metal along the edges of the phone, looking more like the Note 4. It may also be a way to compete even more with the iPhone 6S Plus.
The image quality on the Galaxy S6 is generally better than the Note 4, with more accurate colours.
Moreover, the sales decreased for the both the cell phones for the 128GB version, so it was a good step on the part of Samsung.

The US carriers still have the Galaxy S6 priced at over $600, but you can get one significantly cheaper if you go a different route. Leaked cases suggest the Galaxy Note 5 will ship with a new S Pen that can auto-eject itself, perhaps with a specific software or – maybe – through voice command.
