Samsung announced exactly a week ago, the Galaxy and Galaxy Note S6 Edge + 5, but then came for us Europeans also bad news, because the Galaxy Note 5 does not appear longer in Europe. Not 2015 anyway. The phablet lineup of Samsung exists in the Netherlands only from the Galaxy S6 + Edge, but what are the differences now between the two? We looked for it for you.
Galaxy Note 5 Galaxy S6 vs. Edge +: differences
Name
The first difference is of course the product name and here is evident in the Samsung market focuses. The Galaxy Note 5 is the successor to the Galaxy Note 4 and focuses primarily on productivity and business users. The Galaxy S6 Edge + is dimensionally similar, but it’s a bigger version of the Galaxy S6 Edge and therefore mainly a smartphone for consumers.
The Korean company probably wanted to offer a premium phablet without a stylus to it have to add. Unfortunately, Samsung offers us no choice, because the Galaxy Note 5 simply not (yet) is not available. Why? That you can read here
.
Screen
On paper, the screen of the Galaxy S6 Edge + and Galaxy Note 5 to be identical to each other, but when you see both products, you will see that the screen of the Galaxy Note 5 is traditionally flat, while the screen of the Galaxy S6 + Edge is bent on both lateral sides. Both devices feature a 5.7 “Super AMOLED display with a qHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels (515 pixels per inch) and Gorilla Glass 4. Further, the panels and image quality identical to the Galaxy S6 and that is good news, For the S6 and S6 Edge have our eyes on the best displays of the moment
Style comes with price
The design of the Galaxy Note and Galaxy 5 S6 + Edge is based on that of the S6 / S6 Edge. The frame is made of metal and the front and rear consists of Gorilla Glass 4. This has two major consequences, because the discs 5 and S6 + Edge does not have a removable battery and the memory can not be expanded. Changing the construction materials has meant that both products are compact, although the Galaxy Note 5 compared with the S6 Edge + it felt heavier.
That is also reflected in the size and weight. The Galaxy Note 5 (7,6mm) compared to its predecessor (8.5mm) noticeably thinner, but only 5 grams lighter (176 grams vs 171 grams). The Galaxy S6 + Edge weighs almost 20 grams less (153 grams) and measuring less 6,9mm at its thickest point.
Why is the Galaxy S6 Edge + lighter and thinner than the Galaxy Note 5? The answer is very simple, because the phablet not have a stylus processed in the body.
Software
The software of the Galaxy 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge + also offers some differences. The Galaxy Note 5 focuses more on the business use and the S Pen stylus is again adapted to the small pin to allow even faster response, and for the first time the stylus from the housing can be printed by means of a spring in place of the pulling with your nail. The Galaxy S6 Edge + we find some features that are specifically made for the curved edge of the screen (Edge).
For example, to display the latest news on the edge, a night clock displays the time, People Edge allows you quick access to your five favorite contacts and Edge Lighting provides a contact for a particular color again, so you can immediately see who is calling. Unlike the Galaxy S6 Edge is also possible to send the People Edge app pictures and emoticons, otherwise this feature later via a software update also brought to the normal S6 Edge.
Both the Galaxy Note and Galaxy 5 S6 Edge + support for Samsung Side Sync function. Users can use Side Sync on their computer to make phone calls, share files, or mobile games on your PC. This feature is available for Windows and OS X.
Price
What was the price of the Galaxy Note 5 should be in Europe is unclear, but given previous years, chances are that the Note 5 as the Galaxy S6 Edge + for 799 euros in sales would go. For those 799 euros you get the model with 32GB of storage memory and if that’s not enough then there is also a 64GB version for 100 euros more. The Galaxy S6 Edge + costs thus as much as the iPhone 6S Plus, however it offers in terms of specifications, a lot of features and double the amount of storage memory.
What is the same
For the rest, the Galaxy Note and Galaxy 5 S6 + Edge almost identical. They are available with 32GB and 64GB of storage memory and use the superfast UFS 2.0 memory that ensures that apps startup quickly.
Battery
Under the back we find a 3000mAh battery and is less than the capacity of the Galaxy Note 4, however, the efficient Exynos 7420-soc ensures that both devices offer better battery life, despite the smaller battery. There are also some interesting new features, so provides Quick Charging option sure the Galaxy S6 Edge + and Galaxy Note 5 to 27% recharge faster than the S6 and S6 Edge. This technology not only works with a cable but also wireless (support for Qi and PMA).
Camera
At the back of the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge + is chosen for the same module as the S6 / S6 Edge. It is, according to several experts, the Best Smartphone Cameras and Samsung has even made some improvements. The company introduced VDIS (Video Digital Image Stabilization) for videos and it works together with the optical image stabilization, so there are fewer vibrations are visible.
The camera module has a 16-megapixel Sony IMX240 sensor with an aperture F / 1.9, for good performance in low light, and it is also possible to record videos in 4K. Selfies can be made with the 5-megapixel camera on the front.
Performance
Like the camera, there is also no difference between the Galaxy Note and Galaxy 5 S6 Edge + in performance. There were rumors that the S6 Edge + would run on the slower Snapdragon 808-soc Qualcomm, but the company has again chosen its own faster and more efficient Exynos 7420. In addition, both models of 4GB of LPDDR4 memory and that is 1GB more compared the S6 and S6 Edge. This also ensures that the Galaxy S6 Edge + and Note 5 is currently the fastest smartphones available today.
Fingerprint Scanner
The fingerprint scanner of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge is also found on the Galaxy Note and Galaxy 5 S6 + Edge, and works well. Currently, the fingerprint scanner can be used to unlock the smartphone, but in the future it works also will be launched in conjunction with Samsung Pay, however, it is still unclear when the service in Europe
Conclusion
Are you a big fan of the Galaxy Note series and are you disappointed that the Note 5 does not come to the Netherlands? Then the Galaxy S6 + Edge may still be a good alternative, because it is basically a Galaxy Note S Pen stylus 5 without. According to Samsung, that’s exactly the reason why the Note 5 no longer appear in Europe because research among European artists of users has shown that almost nobody uses the S Pen.
The Galaxy S6 Edge + is on paper and in practice an excellent smartphone, nevertheless we still had liked Samsung consumers had the chance offered itself to make a choice between a 5 Note with stylus or the Galaxy S6 Edge + without stylus. Possibly in 2016 still change that …
