It runs Android Lollipop 5.1, and features LTE Cat
6 connectivity. There's also the latest dual-band
802.11ac Wi-Fi with MIMO, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC and a
fingerprint scanner.
A non-removable battery is rated at 3000mAh,
but the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 supports sat
charging through both wired and wireless chargers.
For wireless it supports WPC and PMA.
For photography you'll find 16Mp with optical
image stabilisation at the rear, and 5Mp at the front.
As with the S6, a double-press of the home button
will instantly launch the main camera.
The Note 5, as always, comes with Samsung's S
Pen stylus, now redesigned to feel more balanced in
the hand and offer improved writing capabilities. You
can write down notes while the screen is off, and the
Air Command feature is also more intuitive.
Samsung Pay will come to the new Note 5,
although a UK release date for that is also unknown.
It will launch in Korea on 20 August, and in the US
on 28 September.
The Note 5 will be available in White Pearl, Black
Sapphire, Gold Platinum and Silver Titanium.
