At first look, you can’t tell them apart. But upon inspection, the 5.7-inch Samsung Note5 has a flat screen and comes with an S Pen stylus, and the 5.7-inch Samsung S6 edge+ has curved screen edges but has no stylus. Both run with 4GB of RAM and have a soft metallic look and elegant tactile feel that emanate premium all over.

Samsung raises the bar on what svelte, curved, posh, camera-performer, and smooth multitasking means.
