Will Challenge Apple with larger screen.
Just a few weeks before Apple is expected to release its new Iphone 6S Samsung has launched two new top models.
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + 5.7 inch display will be on the shelves in September, while the new Galaxy Note 5 according to Samsung will be launched in Europe.
It is both strange and a little disappointing, believes longstanding mobile journalist in Tek.no, Espen Swang, but does not rule out that it may emerge eventually.
– Note models with the special S-pen that lets you write on the screen is become a bigger success than Samsung originally envisioned, and at home has many looked forward to the launch Note 5. They will probably be disappointed now, says Swang.
– No launch plans for Note 5
Han also think it is strange considering Samsung’s commitment to the enterprise market, where Note has been an important weapon dragons.
– On the other side there was another part that bought Note 3 and 4 primarily due to the big screen. New Galaxy S6 edge + with 5.7 inch screen will in this sense be a more correct phone for them.
The explanation for that Note 5 does not get to see in this country, according to sales manager in Samsung Norway, Stig-Ove Lango, the Galaxy S6 edge + covers the need for the vast majority of customers in big segment.
– As of today does not stand Note 5 on any of our launch plans. For those who want S Pen is Note 4 is still a good option, says Langø.
Larger screen
What about the Galaxy S6 edge + which actually comes in stores in September?
The largest and most striking news is that the screen has grown from 5.1 to 5.7 inches compared to the regular Edge model.
comparison measures Iphone 6 Plus 5.5 inches and there is little doubt that Samsung has had precisely the burly Apple competitor in sight.
The screen resolution is however the same in the two Edge models which both have 2561 x 1440 pixels . Iphone 6 Plus has otherwise “only” 1920 x 1080 pixels.
– In Samsung we believe that smart phones with large screen cover important needs of consumers. It gives a far better viewing and user experience since many people use the phone to job-related tasks and to watch video content, says Langø.

Faster and stronger
Larger screen also provides more battery space, and battery capacity is increased from 2600 mAh to 3000 mAh.
On praised list of Samsung are also faster wireless charging, and an aluminum frame that supposedly should be stronger and more scratch resistant.Galaxy S6 edge + also supports faster 4G / LTE, so-called Cat. 9, but this is currently only of academic interest since none of the Norwegian mobile operator supports this in their networks.
For Samsung, it’s according Langø to be early, so that mobile phones are ready when operators sooner or later offer LTE Cat. 9.
The processor is the same as on the smaller edge model, but working memory (RAM), is increased from 3GB to 4GB.
Less internal memory
Internal memory however have been less, or rather Samsung dropped 128 GB variant, so 64GB is the largest available version.
It seems Espen Swang in Tek.no is strange:
– One thing is that one wants to get users to use Samsung’s cloud storage service, but it allows simultaneously Iphone be alone with a 128 GB option. It can be vital for those who are concerned with large internal memory.
According Langø believes Samsung that those who need more than 64GB of internal memory can use Samsung’s cloud service, but admits that one sees that a small proportion customers prefer 128 GB internal memory.
Rigid prices
Swang is also unsure how the market will accept what he characterizes as straight as stiff prices, namely 8990 million for 64 GB and 7990 crowns 32 GB. 500 million more than Apple should have their equivalent Plus variants.
Sales Langø feel however assured that the market is willing to pay.
– We are S6 edge that people want curved screen and metal frame. In addition, the high euro exchange rate impact.
