Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy Note 5, S6 Edge Plus renders reveal dimensions, controls

Samsung has definitely been a frequent presencein the rumor mill lately, but these new pictures are some of the hottest info we've got so far. Case maker ITSKINS sent us a bunch of renders of the upcoming Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, revealing their dimensions and control layout. A lot has been said about all of these alleged devices, but as far as we can currently gather - the Note 5 will most-likely come alone, with no other Note unit and the aforementioned Galaxy S6 Edge Plus will stand in as a double-edged variant in the same form factor, but with slightly lower specs and no S pen. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 This, doesn't definitively dispute the existence of a new edged Note phone, but, considering recent developments in the story, we find that a lot less likely. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 The first set of renders clearly portrays the upcoming GalaxyNote 5. It is a flat unit, with no screen curvature, but it follows the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge design language with a slope of the back panel. Considering how the frame overlaps the edges, it really looks like another glass back. Don't get us wrong, that is definitely a stylish touch, but also means that the Note is losing its removable battery. Thankfully, however, the signature S pen is still present and from the looks of it now has an automated or push to eject mechanism. We also finally have precise device dimensions - 153.3mm x 76.1mm x 7.9mm. Using those we were also able to calculate the screen diagonal, which will again stand at 5.7".| We can also definitively see a traditional micro USB connector, so no type C and a single cover, concealing the SIM card, but perhaps also a microSD card slot, we can't really be sure about that. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Then we have the second set of renders, which due to the lack of an S pen and the clearly-noticeable Galaxy S6 edge styling, we believe to be the alleged S6 Edge Plus.
