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.

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.
