Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Release Date, Pricing, Specifications And New Features

Even though the tech world is abuzz about the release of Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 rumours have just stared and are slowing picking up pace. The only saving grace after the debacle caused by the Galaxy S5 in the previous year was the release of Galaxy Note 4 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. This year too, the Note 4 successor is expected to achieve profits for the South Korean tech giant.

Display

The Quad HD display of the Note 4 has certainly impressed the whole world and in this year Samsung is expected to raise the competition bar higher. According to Value Walk, the Note 5 phablet will sport a 4K resolution on a huge 5.9-inch display.

Processor And RAM

As of this, there are concrete rumours on the chipset that will power up the Note 5 phablet. It is expected to be powered by the Exynos 7420 chipset, claims Breathecast. It further reports that the phablet may feature an 8 GB of RAM with 64 GB native storage. The external storage will support up to 128 GB of microSD.

Camera

The Galaxy Note 4 features a 16 MP shooter and its successor model is to come fitted with 20 MP camera. There is a 3.7 MP front-facing camera on the Note 4 but the Note 5 is speculated to feature a 5 MP camera.

Battery

If the Galaxy Note 5 will support 4K resolution, it would require a battery that does not exhaust quickly, adds Value Walk. Analysts are of the view that it is going to feature a huge 4,000 mAh battery. Samsung has introduced the wireless charging feature on the Galaxy S6 and the same is also anticipated to arrive on the Note 5.

Robust Security

In order to provide its user with better security, the Galaxy Note 5 will arrive with improved fingerprint scanning sensor. The retina scanner feature that has never before seen on a Samsung smartphone is speculated to arrive on the Note 5.

Release Date And Price

Since 2011, Samsung has launched a new Note series phablet in September every year. Last year too, the Note 4 was released in Galaxy Note 4. As of this writing, there is no confirmation on whether Samsung will continue to follow the same release trend for the Galaxy Note 5. As far as pricing is concerned, Value Walk claims that an off-contract Galaxy Note 5 will cost around $900 to $1000.
