Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ may be launched in India this week

Recently, Samsung launched the all-new Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 at its Unpacked event. An NDTV report now claims that the company may launch the Galaxy S6 Edge+ tomorrow at an event held in New Delhi.

Though there is no visual of the invite to tease the launch of the S6 Edge+ at the event for the Indian market. But the text on the invite reads, "Experience the new Edge in innovation."

Another report by ETTech, citing a senior executive at Samsung reveals that the Galaxy S6 Edge+ will go on sale in India later this month and the Galaxy Note 5 will be available next month.

Samsung has made several hardware changes for the new phablets including a faster processor for the Galaxy Note 5 and increasing the screen size of the S6. Both sport a large 5.7-inch QHD Super-AMOLED display, with a pixel density that goes up to 515 ppi.

Both are powered by Samsung’s Exynos chips as Samsung dropped Qualcomm Inc chips that powered most of its previous handsets, opting to use its own processors for the S6 models. The devices come powered by a 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 SoC with four Cortex-A57 cores clocked at 2.1GHz, and four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.5GHz. Both include 4GB of RAM.

Just like the S6 Edge, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+comes with a dual-edge display and a 3,000mAh battery. The Galaxy Note 5, on the other hand, comes with a new and improved S Pen. Both devices run Android 5.1 Lollipop. Both Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ feature 16-megapixel rear snappers with OIS and 5-megapixel front-facing cameras.
