Galaxy Note 5, S6 Edge+ Photos Leaked
Photo: Evan Blass on Twitter

We've seen plenty of pictures this week of both the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge+, but we haven't seen an official photo of the phones - until now.

Evan Blass recently leaked a side-by-side photo of the upcoming handsets. We decided to take a look into what we can gather from these photos, as well as what we can expect from thes phones.

Galaxy Note 5

The most notable thing found in this picture is the S Pen, which appears to have a clicking button on the top. Nobody is quite sure what this means, but many speculate that it could be part of the release system. Rumors state that it will be held in by a magnet and that the button will reverse the polarity of the magnet to release the pen.

Interestingly enough, it also appears that the IR sensor was kept in the phone. Past rumors had stated that the sensor was removed from the phone, but this photo would beg to differ.

Also, it would appear in the photo that the frame is metal which could mean that, like in previous generations, the back will be glass, which decreases the likelihood of expandable storage.

Galaxy S6 Edge+

The major thing to note in this photo is the size of the phone. It is the same size as the Note, which is most likely 5.7 inches. If that is the case, it would be a .6-inch increase in size from the previous generation (rather than the .8 inch difference between the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus).

Also noted is the presence of the IR sensor. Additionally noted is the metal frame, which points to the possibility of a glass back, decreasing the likelihood of expandable memory - this would be consistent with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
