The notice of the launch for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 made no mention of the Galaxy S6 edge+, and it looks like the larger version of the curved display S6 edge is not appearing at the same time as the Note 5. What might be appearing is the keyboard cover for the Note 5. This particular accessory adds a full qwerty keyboard to the lower third of the Note 5, turning it into something resembling a BlackBerry device.
There’s no news on the pricing of the Note 5, but that is likely to be announced during the Malaysian launch.
[Update] We have just received the official invite that now includes the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+. It looks like both the new flagship devices will be at the launch. Which is great news for fans of Samsung devices.
