While I am critical of Samsung sometimes as are others, people have to give them credit as they do really push the industry forward

If your in the UK - you may not even get the opportunity to buy the Note 5 period.
Madness

I was going to buy the plus S anyway but this confirms it I'm certainly going apple route again

Hmm, they do seem to so far be spending an awful lot of time showing the Edge Plus don't they? A hint of what's to come? I don't like how that photo bent round the edges, looked really odd.

They just glossed over the global release day completely....

Geez - this whole presentation is uncomfortable. They would have done better just announcing the phone on their website. Same for HTC. Their presentations are down right cringed worthy.

So true but sadly now I'm hesitant to buy compared to before where I wouldn't have this doubt in buying.

Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
Hmmm... Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay..

I can seriously see governments and banks stepping in here and demanding ONE standard is used only. They aren't going to pay for different systems and neither will stores.
I especially see that happening in Europe.

It is all but confirmed its not coming to Europe (Note 5) at least in the near future. The S6E + is looking more and more like the only model that will be released here.

Honestly doesn't make sense and why would they do that. Stupid move on their part.

They have completely glossed over both devices. I'm sure they have been taking too many tips from apples keynotes

Is there anything new about these new devices or are they just blown up versions of the s6/s6 edge?

Besides the SPEN, its just an oversized S6. So disappointed with Samsung. I miss the days where the Note had new stuff and was better than the S Galaxy series.

So I guess I can now say it 'Called it'...

Exynos 7240 - Same cpu as S6/S6e
4gb ram
No microSD
No removable battery
No note 5 edge
3,000 mah battery


The only things I honestly can say I never expected was .. no european release or the keyboard case ...

But everything else going back a long time .. 'I told you so' :D :D

Yeah I don't get it either. The rumour was they were going to bring the launch forward to usurp Apple and steal the limelight somewhat. But to then 'not' release it in Europe makes you just wonder how is any of this sensical ?

Can only imagine what those in London at the unpacked event are thinking. Here's two new devices were releasing today - but your not having the Note 5 so tough .....
