At an event in August, Samsung announced the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, plus the newest addition to its flagship line of phablets (aka phone-tablet hybrids) — the Galaxy Note 5. Here's what's new:

  • 5.7-inch display
  • Exynos 7420 processor (same one found in the Galaxy S6)
  • 5-megapixel front-facing camera instead of the 4's 3.7-megapixel front-facing camera
  • 16-megapixel rear-facing camera that will let you stream live to YouTube
  • 4GB of RAM instead of 3
  • No more microSD camera slot
  • Stylus with a clicking mechanism

Pricing for the Galaxy Note 5 varies on all US carriers, with some offering the 32 GB version either in monthly installments or for the no-annual contract price of $700. If you want the 64 GB phone, the contract price is $740. The phone will also work with Samsung Pay, the company's new form of mobile payment processing that officially launched today. Move over Apple Pay — your competition just got an edge.
