Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Announced


This morning Samsung announced it's "Next Big Thing", the Galaxy Note 5. As expected the specs from last years Note have been bumped up. The 5 features an octa-core Exynos 7420 processor. This chip gives you 4 cores clocked in at 2.1GHz each and 4 additional cores with a speed of 1.5GHz each. 4GB's of RAM is also added to the phone to keep it nice and snappy. Samsung's flaghship phablet will come with a 16MP rear camera and a 5MP front one. It seems like Samsung has shrunk the phone bezel a little in order to keep the 5.7" beast feeling comfortable in your hands. The large screen has a stunningly sharp 518ppi pixel density. 

The S pen has been redesigned and allows you to push the top of the pen down, which causes a click. This same motion allows you to eject the pen from the Note. The new Note also sports an instant memo mode, which allows users to use the S pen to write notes without the phone being unlocked.

It will be released on the 21st of August and come in either a 32GB, 64GB or a 128GB model, with outright purchase prices ranging from $815 - $840. Visit the source links for more information
