Samsung found itself at the centre of controversy last year owing to the whole ‘Pengate’ scandal. Apparently, users of the Galaxy Note 5 did not prove to be as smart with the stylus as their smartphone, or so Samsung claims. The S Pen on the Note 5, when inserted the wrong way, would not only get stuck inside the Note, but would also damage the sensing mechanism of the display. Basically rendering your phone into a regular non-Note Samsung device.

However, now, reports of a new patent suggests Samsung may have found a solution to this problem either way. 

The image shows that the S-pen can be fitted at a 90 degree angle and be used as a stand if the device [...]

Samsung’s newest addition to the Note family comes not as much of a surprise. Especially after all the leaks and Samsung setting precedent with its S6 and S6 edge. Samsung has found the right mix of hardware, software, build and design for devices this year.

Does the Note 5 fit right in? Let’s find out.

Overview

Without changing much, Samsung has made major changes to the handset. The new Note 5 is a positive step ahead for the company, taking in major feedback from its consumers and acting upon it. The Note 5 is priced at Rs. 53,900 for the 32GB version and Rs 59,990 for the 64GB variant. Samsung has used the same design philosophy as seen in the Galaxy S6 [...]

Last year, Apple had trouble dealing with Bendgate for the iPhone 6 and now Samsung is dealing with ‘Pengate’ on its new Galaxy Note 5. The recently launched handset comes with a standout 5.7 inch and the ability to write notes on the screen with the S-Pen even when the phone is locked. The Pengate is being called merely a misplaced pen, while reports point out that the main problem with the Note 5 is not the phone in itself but the stylus.

It has been found that the stylus can be inserted back into the slot in one correct way, otherwise it gets stuck. Moreover, after [...]

The Galaxy Note 5 is the newest Flagship for Samsung. The phablet category maker that changed everything for Samsung gets an overhaul, it also is a change in the way Samsung thinks design.

Last year the Note 4 was a Samsung first too, when the Phablet saw an Edge variant and a metal framed body construction. Learning heavily from that and the uber-success of the S6 in global markets, the Galaxy Note 5 is an all new metal and glass clad flagship for the company and prospective buyers will be pleased.

Samsung does also bring the flaws of the [...]

Last year, when Samsung unveiled the Note 4 Edge at a pre-IFA event, the world was shocked. No one was expecting to see a phablet with a curved display.

Unlike 2014, most of the details of this year’s Note were revealed before the official unveiling. We can finally fast forward through all the rumours and leaks and find out what the Note 5 is all about. Here is the official introduction to the Galaxy Note 5:

As reported earlier, Samsung is about to launch a new set of next-gen supersized phones at its Unpacked event, on the 13th of August 2015. However, just two weeks before this, Samsung has posted a small teaser image, which shows a dual edge display design and a protruding stylus attachment.
