Samsung Note 5

Anonymous — Mon, 11 Jan 2016 13:50:02 GMT

Im due an upgrade from my Note 3. Do we know if O2 will ever get the Note 5? I don't fancy getting the Note 4 this month if the Note 5 suddenly becomes available.

Alternatively, do folk rate the S6 Edge plus over the Note 4 and 5 instead seeing as it's currently £120 off in the O2 sale?

I'm hoping O2 do stock it so maybe @Chris_K can check for us?

In the meantime it's a matter of checking here : https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/coming-soon/

I've still not heard that the Note 5 will ever be available in the UK at all, let alone O2?
I have the Note 4 and @viridis had the S6 edge. I don't believe there is much difference between the two except for the stylus features on the Note.

The link I posted says it's finally coming this month.

Note 5 won't be released in eu as it's very much an incremental update.
Same camera, same screen, the only real difference is cpu, and it's not a huge update in that regards.
Edge plus is the same But still carries the new look and is only sans S-pen.

I don't have any info to share right now, but it's unlikely you'll see us say "It's coming..." before Samsung themselves confirm anything. Although this link mentions "trusted sources" I'd always recommend being cautious until it comes from the horses mouth.

If or when any of that changes though i'll definitely keep everyone posted - any flagship from Samsung is always highly anticipated so I know how excited some of you will be about the rumour of the N5 coming to the UK.

To be fair @Chris_K the trusted source it originated from, is the same person that leaked that it wouldn't initially be released in Europe before the announcement.

I guess we need to wait and see, but I am surprised in all honesty.....

As much as I personally want to believe it, until it's official O2 can't really comment much on it I'm afraid. Just now, Samsung are still advising folk they have nothing to announce regarding the rumour, so while their stance remains like this, it's unlikely you'll see any news from us.

Again though i'll keep everyone up to date on any news - I know this is something many of you are interested in.
