There are two main reasons why you should get on the phablet train: the Samsung Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+. With many brands taking Samsung's lead - now also offering large screen devices - it’s not only a question of whether you should choose to go big – but it’s also about knowing which device offers fearless innovations that truly fit your lifestyle best.
Bigger Style, More Substance
When Samsung sought to reimagine the traditional smartphone aesthetic, few expected just how their game-changing vision for their newest flagship devices would redefine the category. But its newest smartphones offer significant improvements by way of design.
The seamless integration of glass and metal created a distinct yet timeless look that was ergonomic yet stylish, durable but handy. Carefully crafted to offer purposeful innovation, the result for both the Samsung Galaxy Note5 and S6 edge+ were smartphones that offered next level design and functionality.
The introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge earlier this year created an unmatched stylish footprint that blurred the line between fashion and technology. The leading-edge innovation of the world’s first dual-edge display, and the perfect balance of contrasting glass and metal materials married design and functionality so well. What Samsung created were smartphones designed to reflect an exquisite eye for design – making them stylish statements for their users.
Now the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, with its 5.7” screen, has the distinction of offering the world’s biggest dual edge display. With more screen real estate, watching movies or playing games becomes a truly immersive multimedia experience - coupled with UHQ (Ultra High Quality) audio upscaling also introduced in the latest flagship phablets. Its curved screen also offers unparalleled accessibility and functionality with the introduction of Apps Edge which gives easy access to your favourite apps, and People Edge that supports easy, personalized communication with your preferred contacts.
The Samsung Galaxy Note5, on the other hand, is the 5th iteration of the smartphone that single-handedly created the phablet segment, comfortably anchored on its heritage of being a powerful productivity device. In the course of its evolution, it now leaps into more stylish, but no less functional, territory. Its well crafted glass and metal body now offers a more ergonomic grip, thanks to its narrower bezel and curved back.
But its indispensability lies in its hallmark feature, the enhanced S-Pen, which has been engineered to help people get more done, faster. It now feels so much more solid, offering improved writing and precision capabilities, and a variety of practical tools.
With the Off-Screen Memo, users can quickly jot down ideas or information using the S-Pen even while the screen is off.
Users can now more easily annotate PDFs, capture lengthy web articles or long images via the new Screen Write. Even the Action Memo introduced way back in the Galaxy Note 3 is now made more intuitive in linking writing to actions.
Now, Galaxy Note5 users can further maximize the productivity from their S-Pen through the new SideSync – which makes connecting your phablet to your PC or Mac easy, like never before. Equipped with features like Drag & Drop, instant file sharing is as easy as a click & drag.
