The other phone mentioned, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, will reportedly be launched at the same time as the Note 5. It is rumored to have the same screen size and screen resolution as the Note 5. The main difference is that its screen will have a dual-edge. Internal storage will be available at 32 GB. Unlike the Note 5, it will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor. Its rear-facing camera will be 16-megapixel with optical image stabilization, while the front-facing camera will be at 5-megapixel. Its battery will be a non-removable one with 3,000 mAh. The phone's OS will be Android Lollipop 5.1.1.
All these specs point to better and more powerful phones, but it is not yet apparent how different a direction Samsung will take with these new phones. They have previously declared that they are taking "a new direction, a direction it for years publicly boasted offered important features Apple's iPhone lineup lacked." The unveiling in September will ultimately show if this is so.
