Samsung has announced its newest mobile devices, the Galaxy Note5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge+.

Both phones feature a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED screen and increased RAM up to 4GB. On the Galaxy S6 Edge+, the dual edges are used as a shortcut from any screen to the user's top contacts and apps.

The unibody Galaxy Note5 is thinner and comes with a new S Pen and multi-window capabilities. A new feature allows users to note down things on the screen even when the display is turned off. Samsung claims that the new, narrower bezel and curved back make it easier to hold in one hand.

Both phones have 4K video filming, and full HD Live Broadcast, which lets you stream video from your phone to contacts or through YouTube Live.

In the US, the Galaxy S6 Edge+ will be available in Black Sapphire and Gold Platinum, while the Note5 will be available in Black Sapphire and White Pearl. Both have 32GB and 64GB memory options, but note that the Note5 does not have a MicroSD slot. Pricing and availability will be announced soon.

Also, both phones have wireless charging capabilities, which could be combined with Samsung's new wireless charging monitor.

Additionally, Samsung Pay, a "simple and safe mobile payment service", will launch in the US in September.

While you wait for the new hardware, IGN has a review of the previous Galaxy S6 model for you.
