Samsung Galaxy Note5: Here are all the new features of the beastly phablet

The Samsung Galaxy Note5 is here, and it looks sleek! Samsung unveiled its leading phablet a month early, when compared to past releases of the Note line, but not a thing about the phone looks undercooked.

Presented alongside its Galaxy S6 edge+ sibling, both handsets just ooze premium with their metal-and-glass construction, shiny colors, and nicely rounded-off edges. Unfortunately, the Note5 had to pay the same price its Galaxy S6 and S6 edge predecessors did a few months back – it has lost its IR blaster, user-removable battery, and microSD card slot.

But that doesn't mean that it lacks in features when compared to its predecessor – the Note 4. In fact, let's take a look at everything new that the Note5 brought to Samsung's phablet line!

Switch to a 2-month Total 5G or 5G+ plan with Total Wireless and score this foldable deal.
