Samsung's latest gadgets, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 smartphones are not only larger in size (phablets actually!) but are packed with many superior new features. Samsung which will roll out both the devices globally on August the 21st, has designed these devices to support some of the latest network technologies such as LTE multicast and VoLTE & WiFi Advanced calling, as well as latest fast wireless and wired charging. In addition, it comes with Samsung Pay, the company's new mobile wallet service supporting both MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) and NFC (Near Field Communication) technologies.
In addition to the larger 5.7-inch Quad HD Super Amoled displays, the South Korean giant has made several hardware changes, including the octa-core processor with 4 gigabytes of memory. Both the devices run Android 5.1 and sport a 16 megapixel rear camera and a 5 megapixel front camera. In addition, the company has also included a QWERTY keyboard cover.

The Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5 also features 4K(UHD) video filming and live broadcast, which lets users instantly steam live Full HD videos straight from the phone to any individual, group of contacts, or even the public, via YouTube Live. Anyone who receives the YouTube link from a Galaxy S6 edge+ or Note5 user is able to enjoy live stream video from any smartphone, tablet, PC or Smart TV with YouTube connectivity.
The Galaxy S6 edge + also supports Ultra High Quality Audio (UHQ) using breakthrough upscaling technology that takes low-quality music and videos and makes details sound richer.
