Press render of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 leaked earlier this morning by Evan Blass

Earlier this morning, we showed you what are allegedly official press renders of the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. The images were tweeted by Evan Blass of @evleaks fame. This morning, Blass has passed along leaked specs said to belong to the Galaxy Note 5. According to his tweet, the phablet will be equipped with a 5.66-inch screen carrying a 1440 x 2560 QHD resolution. That works out to a pixel density of 515ppi.

Powering the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, according to the tweet from Blass, will be the Exynos 7420 chipset which is the same SoC inside the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. The chip will provide the Galaxy Note 5 with 4 cores running at a 2.1GHz clock speed, and 4 cores with a clock speed of 1.5GHz. 4GB of RAM is inside along with 32GB of internal storage. There is no microSD slot on the device, according to the leak.

On the back of the Galaxy Note 5 will be a 16MP snapper that will probably be the same one found on the back of Sammy's recent high-end models, including the Samsung Galaxy S6. A 5MP front-facing camera handles selfies and video chats. Android 5.1.1 will be inside. Internally, the phone is said to be called the Samsung Noble and carries a model number of SM-N920.

Don't forget that Samsung will most likely unveil the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 edge+ at its latest Unpacked event which will take place August 13th in New York City.

Well, Samsung just lost the rest of the high end market if this is true. Increasing specs are not really a big deal anymore in Android if the software isn't optimized enough.

Why are they so dumb to remove the features that made the S and Note series so popular?

NO MicroSD slot = FAIL.
It's no more a note line phone anymore. Its a failure as a note device. It will sell less than Note 4 that's for sure. And it will probably have no removable battery also. RIP note line and Samsung fans claim that it the most functional and feature rich phone line.

Funny how Samsung fans rapidly change their preference when their beloved company ditch the feature they are always proud of. Before the S6 Samsung fans are like - iPhone is a useless thing because it doesn't have microSD slot and removable battery and now that Samsung decided to ditch these features, these features SUDDENLY becomes USELESS. Beauty of brainless Samsung worshiper - they will worship Samsung no matter what.

Well Samsung did use a much faster storage option and lollipop right now doesn't really support apps to the SD card. Hopefully they start out with 64gb of storage.

OK tell me is this news fake or real -http://www.idigitaltimes.com/android-m-update-will-include-native-micro-sd-support-445463
If this is real then it looks to me Samsung is screwing their note fan base ( the fan base who always use microSD as a weapon to troll iphone) or you are telling me that Samsung plans on keeping Lollipop forever for note 5.

I don't know what Samsung is planning for the Note 5. All we have to go by are leaks and rumors which I remind you are unconfirmed. The Moto X Style was rumored to not include an SD card slot but we all know that turned out to be untrue.

You have to pay for that sd card reader, it's an add on and why there is no ufs included with moto, why is it not included??..

It does not work with ufs
If you like your note 5 to be slower than the s6 then you got it with the note 4

Please note sd card readers (not the sd cards) damage the phones bandwidth due to the way they are linked to the emmc controller on the phone, also at the same time even if you using a supper fast sd card, it will go supper slow
Please note that the 1+1 emmc hd bandwidth is way faster than note 4 and the lg G4

Please note it is way faster to use a small sd card reader linked to your new note 5 USB port or by wifi on a small key ring reader, linked with the new ufs 3x r and w speeds, also your sd cards will have the faster speeds supported, please note the above setup wil get anything done way faster.

Was there actually a rumor that it wouldn't have an SD card? I thought that it was just assumption people had that it wouldn't based off of Motorola's track record to not include it with their Moto line.

Yes, there will be support for sd cards in android m, but you will not be able to easy transfer files or use that sd card in other products to get the files
It will be encirpted and part of the os

I don't think Samsung wouldn't intentionally lobotomize itself two flagships in a row. At least I hope they won't. If they want to apologize to their fans for the failure of the s6 family, they should give us the features that the phones missed out on. Maybe include a 64GB Samsung EVO microSD with the note 5, as well as a 7422, a removable 3500+ mAH battery and an IP68 rating just to say sorry to those that didn't wait for /switch for the Active varient. They would be marketing it to power users and those that want the best Android M experience available. But they won't do that. They'll probably continue to piss on their fan base and say that it's for their own good. Maybe if they actually gave their consumers the best they had to offer, they wouldn't have to keep playing catch-up with Apple. I used to be a Samsung fan, but now I'm a more neutral Android fan. If the Note 5 fails to wow, the next Nexus is going to be my next phone and I'll be done giving Sammy money.

I'm interested. I think the Note 4 was a step in the right direction.

SD isn't just for apps. In fact, it's not a good idea to run apps off it. I've got over 60gb of music and movies on my card. That's what it's good for.

Most people don't use that much storage. The needs of many outweigh the needs of the few.

So wrong on the lollipop doesn't support apps to the SD card. If you picked up and used the new Motorola phones G, X. Then you would know that you can move the apps to the micro SD slot. So lollipop does support apps on a micro SD slot. But you would never know Mxyptlk because you are a known troll and hate anything to do with Android and Google.

I will put it like this. I am not a Samsung fan. I am a purchaser of what brand offers me the most for my money. Samsung kept what most of the others were eliminating. Thus allowing me to switch to Samsung without any emotional attachment to a damn phone I once used. Samsung has now begun to eliminate what me and others sought from the start. I will not change my preference. But, I will change brands just like many of my friends already did. This isn't worshipping. It is excersizing our right to speak with our financial contribution to companies that actually listen to the consumer.

2015 is a pretty f**ked up year for phones, partially thanks to qcomm... if some offers the best internals(S6, Edge and note 5) then they exclude one of the most desirable features of their fans... if LG is offering these features then they are coming with the 2nd best CPU and GPU which is not a deal maker(as sale numbers represent)

2015 is the year of isheeps. Seems like only they are the winner bcoz they dont care about what apple include or exclude until half bitten apple logo is present on the device... for rest of us, 2015 is a pretty confusing year. Atleast for me 2015 is confusing, its hard to choose which device to go for...

I am thinking to quit android all together for a year and jump ship to windows 10 for a moment... I hope Lumia 950 and XL version will come up with pretty decent specs

Why blame qcom? They've never made the fastest SoCs for mobile devices. But yeah, there is no choice right now.

Because they have had poor QC with the S10 overheating.

Yes, you should go from being an "asheep" to "wsheep" since you don't want to be an "isheep".

This is what happens if you tech customer do not go out and by the s5 and note 4, Samsung as to deal with customer who buy new phones per 1 or 2 years and this tech site are not what they looking for

FYI, it pains our heart but we have to accept change. Not like we have no other options for storage. Apple and their fans are no much different, they believed that 3.5 inches was the ideal screen size and now look where they are now and you the customers still accepted it, goes to show that we have to accept change whether or not we like it. Other manufacturers will come to the same decision, it's only a matter of time

You know the 3.5 inch thing was because that's all Apple had to sell and their customers could buy. Jobs created snob appeal brilliantly by stating a limitation was best.
