Samsung is widely expected to launch the Galaxy Note 5 in September, as its predecessor, the successful Galaxy Note 4 released in 2014, will have completed a circle of one year in the market by then. There have been reports that the Korean phone maker would launch the Galaxy Note 5 alongside the Galaxy Note 5 Edge. The Galaxy Note 5 Edge will be the curved version of the Galaxy Note 5 and boast of a new 8 megapixel front camera, apart from a 16 megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization.

The Galaxy Note 5 Edge will reportedly be a dual-edge curved device with either a 5.4-inch or a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display, as Samsung is reportedly working on two displays: a 5.78in display for a potential Edge variety (internal code-named Project Zen) and a 5.89in version for the regular flat-screen version, offering incredible pixel densities of 762ppi and 748ppi, respectively. The device will be powered by a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor and offer 16 GB of internal storage.

Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge handset, which features a double-curved screen, has become so popular that the company now reportedly plans to launch a new model with a curved display in the second half of the year, ahead of the release of the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy Note Edge in September. Apparently, Samsung Display, which manufactures the curved Edge displays, has increased its production capacity, which will allow Samsung to offer another device with a curved display before releasing the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy Note Edge this autumn. There are no specific details or official confirmation about the kind of device with a curved Edge display that Samsung could release, and no release date provided as yet.
