The S-Pen stylus on the Galaxy Note series is probably the main reason why the product line is popular in the first place , the S-Pen ,along with the added features of the Note software made pulling a digital stylus out enjoyable once again ,but apparently the experience is not so great for some Galaxy Note 5 owners as the new model has a issue that will get the stylus stuck in its silo if you insert it the wrong way . The new S -Pen , a digital stylus which uses a Waycom digitizer is also equipped with a spring loaded action which once pressed releases the pen from the silo , earlier models of the Note line featured a fingernail pull out (queue the "thats what she said jokes) tab that worked without any issues even if it was inserted the wrong way . If the new S-Pen is inserted the wrong way , the spring section of the pen gets trapped in the S-Pen proximity sensor which might get destroyed if the owner decides to use brute force to pull the trapped pen out -rendering your prec...

Samsung has unveiled a large screen phablet version of their Galaxy S6 Edge today , the phone ,known simply as Galaxy S6 Edge+ brings a curved unibody design and a premium price for the 5.7" behemoth . The Edge+ , launched along side the flagship Note5 smartphone  the phone sits in the boundary between the Galaxy S lineup and the large screened Note lineup as it has a somewhat lower price and almost identical specs as the Note except for the S-Pen . The display on the phone is a 5.7" SAMOLED panel with a resolution of 2560x1440p and 518ppi , the curved display will surely be a bit of a gimmick but the curve helps with the natural finger swipes as it glides smoothly opposed to running over a hindrance like a bezel or a edge found on rival products . The Edge+ comes with the Exynos 7420 , the same Soc found on its sibling - the Note5 , this processor is clocked to 2.1 Ghz and it has 4GB of RAM to support Cameras on the Edge+ are almost identical to other Samsung f...

Samsung has unveiled its fifth iteration of its most popular phablet smartphone - The Samsung Galaxy Note today , launched along side the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus , the Note 5 brings Samsung's new unibody construction and tried and tested S-Pen features in a somewhat compact 5.7" . First look at the device shows us that the new Note 5 is a completely different animal compared to the previous generations , all previous models of the Note lineup featured utilitarian builds and removable back panels with removable batteries and somewhat hot swappable MicroSD cards - two features that are now absent in the Note 5 , but instead of a cheap feeling plastic build (apart from the Note 4) the new phone feels more up market and definitely worth a bit of a premium . Curved metal Edges surround the device and this can be spec'ed in Gold/bronze or silver according to your liking , machine drilled holes give access to the MicroUSB 2.0 port ,the speaker and of course Samsungs S-Pen ...

Alleged Note 5  Samsung is set to announce two big screened devices tomorrow - The Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 , the two devices - spawned from the unibody design language which started from the Galaxy S6 series has finally managed to take hold of all flagship device and therefore  these devices are set to omit regular Samsung features including a removable battery and even a MicroSD card. Although many of you regard this as blasphemy , removing these features is probably set to happen someday so might as well get over it now . Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + Think of this as Samsung's answer to the iPhone 6 Plus , the giant phone is basically a blown up version of the Galaxy S6 Edge which is making waves in the current mobile marketplace . Placed next to this iPhone 6  Plus , we can see that the Edge plus is quite a big boned fellow as it has a 5.67" 2560x1440 SAmoled display along with curved edges which gives it quite a unique look . The S6 E...

Samsung was once praised for keeping removable batteries and MicroSD card slots on flagship devices in a age where they were replaced with non removable batteries and cloud storage but since the start of the year , all that basically went out of the door .The new Galaxy S6 ,S6 active and the S6 edge were some of the first devices to break the tradition but according to new leaks the upcoming device is also said to break the tradition . The Samsung Galaxy Note series is Samsung's flagship phablet device aimed at power users who loved the S-Pen stylus and the ability to basically swap batteries on the go , but as things go this may no longer be a option but there is some good news as the device is said to come with a base 32GB option , a 16MP Sony IMX240 sensor and a 2K resolution 5.66" SAMOLED display along with a Exynos 7420 or 7422 chip+ 4GB RAM . The Chipset on the Note , according to Evleaks is a Exynos 7420 , this chip is now a bit aged so we even expect to see the sli...

Samsung is said to be readying a new successor to the Note line this year , the Note 5 - which is set to bring the famous S-Pen functionality and beefier specs over the S6 is probably one reason people are holding out for the Note line rather than buying a S series device ,but according to rumors  , the Note 5 is expected to launch on the 12th of August with sales starting on the 21st of the same month .The handset - which like its older brethren still features a beefed up Exynos 7420/7422 Soc with a 5.6"+ SuperAmoled pannel which is said to feature 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and LTE support as well . The phone is also the first Note smartphone to feature a non removable battery  and it is also the first unit to have no MicroSD card support , dropping such features will surely put a heap of potential buyers off , but the trade off was also expected from the Galaxy S line ,but as the majority of users don't mind losing features on a phone they drop off every two years  so it is h...
