Samsung launches Galaxy S6 edge+, Note5 and Samsung Pay
Commenting on the launch of the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Note5, as well as the introduction of Samsung Pay, Rob Kerr, mobiles expert at Uswitch.com, says: “If there’s one message Samsung rammed home today, it’s that bigger is better.
“Samsung’s attempts to reclaim the throne from Apple as King of Phablets – with not one but two 5.7 inch screens – reminds us who was the first mobile maker to bring supersize smartphones to the mainstream market with the very first Note.
“For UK mobile users, the difficult choice between the S6 edge+ and the Note5 has been made for us, as the Note5 won’t be available here. That’s a shame, because the Note – once plastic and pleather – just got classier, with a metal and glass makeover.
“Samsung must be hedging its bets on the S6 edge+ being successful as an iPhone challenger in the UK.
“And pitting the S6 edge+ against the upcoming iPhone – just weeks away from hitting the shelves – could be an ingenious move, using it to tempt Apple fans ahead of the September launch.
“If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Apple should be well and truly flattered by the launch of Samsung Pay. It lends further credibility to mobile payments and confirms that they really will become a part of our day to day lives.”
