As the Samsung Galaxy S6 has reached full retail availability, attention in the blogosphere has turned to the next big thing from the Korean\u00a0chaebol<\/em>: The Samsung Galaxy Note 5. In this article, we’ll look at the first rumours and leaks concerning the Note 5 and its potential\u00a0Edge counterpart.<\/p>\n

SamMobile<\/em> was the first to jump into the fray, suggesting that the upcoming phablet would debut with the company’s Exynos 7422 chipset. The Exynos 7422 is Samsung’s first all-in-one (ePoP<\/a>) chipset, meaning it includes CPU, GPU, RAM, storage and modem all on a single chip. That means a smaller overall package, providing thinner dimensions or more space to put a battery. The Note 5 should also come with a 2K or even 4K Super AMOLED display, which in the case of the latter would certainly demand a larger battery to keep battery life at acceptable levels.<\/p>\n

An Edge version of the phone is also expected, following up the original Note Edge that debuted last year and this year’s Galaxy S6 Edge. Interestingly,\u00a0SamMobile<\/em> are suggesting this could be more than a simple curved-screen variant. Specs of the phone, codenamed Project Zen, include a 5.4 or 5.5-inch curved display, an S-Pen, a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, 16GB of storage and an 8-megapixel\u00a0front-facing camera.<\/p>\n

Both phones should ship with Android 5.1, although it’s also possible that the yet-to-be-announced Android M will be ready in time for the phablets’ launch.<\/p>\n

Boy Genius Reports<\/em> is one of several sites expecting the phone(s) to be announced in September at IFA 2015, following the trend of previous Note handsets. A circular Gear A smartwatch is also on the cards to be announced that day.<\/p>\n
