NEW YORK Unlike other years, Samsung decided ahead of the IFA fair in Berlin and chose New York as the setting for present, amid the skyscrapers of Manhattan, his two new giants, the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Galaxy Note 5. Two descendants of a line of phones that have a common denominator with the recent announcement of the company’s flagship models S6 and S6 Edge, while on the other hand, keeps the legacy of phablets initiated by the South Korean company in 2011 with the first Galaxy Note.
At first glance, striking the curve screen S6 Edge Plus, which still has the rounded edge on both sides. Therefore, in the hand he feels the slight difference in thickness compared to Galaxy Note 5 having 7.6 mm, and whose camera does not protrude with respect to both the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, which has a thickness of 6.9 mm.
Thanks to its slim design and the rounded edge grip Edge Galaxy S6 Plus can be stranger with a thinner to Note 5 that feels solid in the hand.
The filing jointly between the two models has its reason for being, since a year ago Samsung had introduced the Galaxy Note the Galaxy Note 4 together Edge, the first of its kind to have one of the two rounded edges. This feature continued in the S6 Edge and remains present in the current S6 Edge Plus.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Note 5 also maintains certain similarities in the technical features than its predecessor, and repeated the 5.7 limit mode inch screen and the same Quad HD resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels, with brightness and colors that meet the benefits that can have Super AMOLED displays. In a fuzzy line after gigantism experienced in the world of smartphones, it is the ceiling assigned by Samsung for their phablets if compared with the recent 5.1 inch Galaxy Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
The first impression is that both phones, to follow the path started with the use of metal and screens with rounded edges, it is that they represent an evolution in a larger format
Giants with brains eight cores
Although in some respects seems to have been with similar specifications from the previous Galaxy Note, both phones behave fast, according to the requirements you expect of a phone this segment.
Both share a processor eight-core Exynos Octa July 7420, four operate at 2.1 GHz and 1.5 GHz four, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 32 or 64GB storage. Samsung decided to dispense with microSD expansion slots.
They keep fingerprint reader does not need to slide your finger on the biometric sensor, which is characteristic of Galax line S6, and use Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
While fixed feature a 3000 mAh battery, lower capacity compared to 3220 mAh Galaxy Note 4, the brand new Samsung models stand out for fast wireless induction charging with a new base, identical to the model used for smartphones presented in March, but allow complete load in just two hours by.
A striking feature retro air that joins the stylus, present since the first version of the phablet Samsung was in the physical QWERTY keyboard available for both Galaxy S6 Edge Plus to the Galaxy Note 5. Inserted into the bottom of the smartphone, cut part of the 5.7-inch screen, it adapts to both the display traditional and with rounded edges, and has at the bottom with the three distinctive buttons on the screen of Android.
Its use was in line with expected by devices of this type, with proper time response of the keys. However, on computers that have as carefully as the Note 5 to S6 Edge Plus design, adding a physical keyboard of this type causes a distortion in the final size of smartphones and neglects the stylized lines available to the team.
This, of course, should not be a deterrent for people who appreciate the use of physical keyboards and hoped a solution of this type. Operation, based on the contact of the keys with the virtual keyboard that appears below this accessory, allows you to function independently, without the need to be synchronized via Bluetooth.
In turn, both smartphones maintain a discreet LED notifications in the top frame of the screen.
Differences and similarities in hardware and software
In the section of the main chamber, both the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus as the Galaxy Note 5 kept 16 MP with 4K recording, and incorporate an image stabilizer for video, while the front now has 5 MP. In tests conducted during the demonstration it was found the same features that characterize Samsung cameras with a speed in the use and capture.
~ And at this point, both the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus as the Galaxy Note 5 may offer live streaming video through an agreement with YouTube. Although it requires a good internet connection for this type of procedure for use of video, is an overcoming option over alternatives such as Periscope and Meerkat, which have unstable performance and that YouTube seems to offer a more friendly, recognized interface and a backup enough to be the online video platform from Google.
You can provide private or public sessions, its operation is fluid and allows the issuer to exchange the use of the front or rear camera without interrupting streaming session.
Notes with the screen off the Galaxy Note 5
Some features that were evaluated are marked by features screens each phone. On the one hand, the rounded edge of the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus allows direct access to contacts and more frequent applications. It is an interesting feature that uses this kind of rounded edges, but still remains limited its service offering as it feels that the developers did not explode completely this feature.
Shortcuts in the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus
At this point, the Galaxy Note solved using the stylus and the Air Command along with a virtual button that can be placed anywhere of the screen. The S Pen is also improved, can annotate PDF, taking screenshots of a whole website and, most striking feature offers take handwritten notes when the screen is off, with an effective recognition of the stroke. .
