It's actually the N5, as you can see there is a sliver line on the bottom which means it is either the S6 or N5 instead of the A8. Then if you notice the slight curve on the side of the phone, that means the back of the phone is curved which only the N5 has so far.

Also samsung note 5, s6, s6 edge, edge+ have UFS storage that doesnt support microsd card.

As Note 5 is around corner and many users always prefer to follow their favorite developer to get developmental support. We know Note4 have almost no support here but looking to S 6 edge success things may be different on note 5.
So request here users and developers to cast their vote
Would you like to go with Note 5 OR Note 5 Edge?
Note 5 Edge? Haven't heard about this one so far.
It will be clear tomorrow (i am not wrong tomorrow is N5 unpacked event) BTW google search reveals many pictures of N5 edge.

Waiting for the S7/Note 6; I really want to see how Samsung's custom core SoC performs. Btw you should probably add "none of the above" to the survey.
The GS6 Edge PLUS WOULD be cool, but I keep seeing it has Qualcomm 808. Not sure why Samsung would downgrade, but if they did, I'll get Note 5 with 7422. Now if Samsung got all Apple on us, and use the 7420 in the Note, ill look at the Moto X or maybe the Nexus by Huawei on principle. Making the Note just a bigger Galaxy with spen is like Apple and their "s" releases.

No microsd = Note None!
Well, there are different Edge concepts out there. The Note 4 Edge and the S6 Edge. Even if it's less functional I prefer the S6 Edge for aesthetic reasons. Would I buy it? Don't think so.
Note 5, if it has a higher battery or a better backup

After owning Note 4........I would wait for something better, maybe other brands. Too many issues with Samsung:
- Bloated TWiz
- WTF Knox fuse warrenty
- extremely delayed s/w upgrades
- don't add features to old models, e.g. theme support in note 4
- No removable battery going forward
- No SD card support going forward
- probaly lot more which I can't think of now..
neither
Me neither, gonna stay with my Note 4. Can't miss my removable battery and SD slot.
Maybe it's getting time to let go of samsung and try some other flavors.
Waiting until this afternoon to make my decision. If there is no 4100mAh battery and no MicroSD then neither.
Nexus 6
Let's wait and see which markets the Note 5 will be available at... We may be surprised.
http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/13/samsung-galaxy-note-5-hands-on-preview/
So we basically knew everything already. Sigh, let's hope the note 6 fares better next year. No MicroSD, no swappable battery, no 128Gb version, only 3000mAh battery, etc. This is beyond disappointing.
Bye bye samsung ! No Micro SD, no Battery replacement, no update, Knox fuser !
I'am out !
LOL.
Note 5 has max 64 gb storage. No 128 option xD
Installed 5.1.1 on my 910C thinking It will fix everything at least not asking for extra features but I was so appointed. The phone STILL vulnerable to "Stagefright" I don't know what does this update include but it seems like everything is same as before. Picture takes 3-4 sec to show after shooting, performance is sh!t compare to my Tab S2 which has the same processor but the note 4 lags like hell. Its great to note that its a fresh installation not just an upgrade over odin and root doesn't work anymore. Guess have to wait!
Thought I will share what I found so far. Will update after all apps done installation to see if anything changes.
Update:
Recent app very fast
Antutu score 46k
Ram used 1.4GB
Root doesn't work

S6 scores 70k on Antutu and its launcher fly compare the note 4. I used to have the S6 and its much much faster than note 4
i believe s6 will get marshmallow in 3 months of 6.0 release so maybe they can solve issues plaguing s6 and s6 edge like lags and battery.
while note 4 was always maybe most hated device from them since its launch.
imagine 5.1.1 a small update from 5.0.1 took 4 months :/
marshmallow is just dream to get before march 2016.

Surprisingly no. This is the first thing i checked after I saw that the Tabs S2 is very very smooth compare to my note 4. I had a high hope that they figured out how to optimize the internal and will see the same on the note 4 soon, but that wasn't the case. I think note 4 need its software to be recreated or Android M will fix it.

All I gotta say is the note4 multitasks better, rather switches apps faster and better. The ram management on the s6/edge/nope5/edge can suck it.

Compared to a SD810 Note 4 you might be right. Exynos 5433 and 7420 are very close in terms of CPU, the real difference between the two is the GPU power.

The Note series has a different developer team than the S-series, and they're way better. You can expect the Note 5 FW to be better than the S6's.

You probably ask this question in the Galaxy S7 Edge forum.
But there is an app that is called Smart TV Remote or something like that. It uses the dlna to communicate with your Samsung Smart TV.

One could get the G5 and look at the rear side and show other people that how pathetically could one design a phone. God knows how people compare them at first place.
Anyway, congrats man. Good phone S7 is, but after using Note series for long enough to understand and realise that I will not leave it, especially for the S Pen and screen size. But best of luck to you all the same and congrats.

Subject says it all... I never use the s-pen (ok, "rarely"...occasionally to crop an image on screen to mms to friends)
Wondering if the note 6 will be the better upgrade choice, or should a get an s7 or s7 edge now? I'm assuming the note # will be the true flagship.
And wondering if the (next) note 6 will be water resistant like the s7's are (I'm guessing NOT) I can't wait to shower with my phone! LMAO! [emoji23]
Then there's the optional luxury of paying off the note 4 - keeping it and lowering my monthly bill! That's another option I guess, it's a great device.
Just asking the question to my fellow note 4 users. What do you folks think?
Wait. You will want the Note 6 when it comes out. I can't go to any smaller screen than 5.7. So i will wait for note 6 or something with a larger screen.

Locked bootloaders for the S7 (edge). Not sure if that matters to you. Who knows what'll happen with the Note.

I think, you should wait for note 6, there are two reasons for that:
1) u'll get spen and more improvements over s series.
2) in countries like india, there will be a price cut after few months, u'll be able to get better deals if u wanted to go for a s7 edge.
I gotta admit that this is pretty pointless thread, but we all love tech and stuff so, here is my opinion:
I'd wait for the note 6. While the s7 edge is certainly appealing, it will suffer a strong price drop as all samsung phones do in the first months. Hence, waiting for the note 6 will not only give you clarity about whether or not you like the note 6, but it also will make the decision to go with the s7 edge less expensive. Looking at the differences between the s6 and s7, I'd argue that samsung will do pretty much the same thing with the note 6: Same processor and camera like the s7, bigger battery, refined design, more software features, slightly larger display, micro-sd slot. I highly doubt that they will increase the amount of RAM to like 6GB though. It will stay at 4GB I guess.
To sum it up: if you need/want the S-Pen, wait for the note. If you don't, go for something else.
I'd definitely wait for the Note 6.. 5.7" vs 5.5" for the S7 edge.. and if it sees the same battery capacity bump it's likely to have ~4000mAh with the S Pen bonus and other optimizations to the OS
I purchased the regular S7 as I wamted something a bit smaller, but haven't been entirely satisfied as I do miss the s-pen and larger screen (the screen on the S7 edge is really irritating). So I'm going to get the Note 6 once it launches.
I agree about jumping the gun but it's only because i`m due for a new phone in 2 weeks time, l love my Note 4 which is why I was wondering if l should stick with the Note family .

i gave my wife my s7 edge and im waiting for the note 6.. im back on my note 4 atm and happy i gave the s7 edge away
I am following news about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 6. There are rumors about the next Galaxy Note will come with great new features, except a downgraded display with only 1024 pressure points.
(Source: "http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_6_rumored_to_come_with_whoppin g_6gb_ram_58inch_display-news-16649.php")
Quote:"In addition, the rumor also notes that the handset's screen will be pressure-sensitive with 1,024 pressure points. This, however, doesn't seem correct as it's a downgrade from the Note5, which already has 2,048 pressure points."
My question is, how relevant are pressure points, and how may it affect the general use? (Couldn't find anything specific on the web).
Also, is this possible? Can Samsung decide to "Downgrade" their display on the Note 6 compared to previous phones?

i prefer having a non edge phone ... i realized im not going to use the edge features and didnt like how i had to use it differently (holding etc) also i didnt like the tall and thin screen style .. prefer the notes wider stance
I just got the s7 and happy I did! Its an amazing phone and blazing fast. The camera is top notch! I also use my note 4 as a secondary phone and while using both, there is a huge step above with the s7. The note 5 was never released in Europe and if they do bring the note 6 here, I will give my wife the s7 LOL
note 6 for me. upgrade in september, so perfect timing. don't like the s7.
Wait for the Note 6, the Note phones tend to set the standard for at least the following 1.5years.
The Note 6 is said to bring:
5.8inch display
6GB RAM
IP68 protection
And of course the SPen and its software that still to this day set the Note range apart from everything else on the market.
Gladly waiting for the Note 6 as nothing so far has matched the Note 4.

The Edge devices also tend to feel very fragile.
I agree, the Note tends to have a far more solid build and stance. Its like comparing a Range Rover Evoque (Edge) to the big body Range Rover Vogue Autobiography (Note).

I have been using Note4 for one year bought a s6 edge+ 64gb .broke it when it dropped from just 0.5m hieght on a carpeted floor
The screen was shattered completely although the phone had a spigen rugged cover on. The repair was very expensive nearly 1/3 price of the phone.
Sold it the day i recieved it back after repair. And will stick to my Note4 , its the best phone for me using it with a 128GB Sandisk sdcard
Advice: Dont buy a Note Edge phone if you have fumbling hands.
if an upgrade is necessary and you can bare the smaller screen on S7 i.e 5.1 inch go ahead.
otherwise wait for Note 6.
I am thinking of shifting to some other brand e.g Xperia X performance may be amazing.. As i am fedup of fragile glass build phones . and xperia x perfomance is not made of glass by sony this time.
i think note 6 is not right choice it will be the first device supporting Type-C that meaning you will faces a lot of troubles with it
my current plan upgrading to S7E then waiting for Note 7 or S8E
one more thing .... Samsung will forced to make a big step forward in S8E and N7 because Chinese manufactures has got a big piece of market cake .
if you just waiting for N6 you will not get any real development compared with S7E
