[Chris_K]

For those who don't know, Samsung have a 'Samsung Unpacked' event at 4PM today (13th Aug). EXCITING!

So what do you think we’ll see from Samsung this time around? Super-capacity graphene battery? X-Ray photography? Infinity core CPU? Perhaps a bit too sci-fi’ish but lets dream big!

I’ll be back 4pm tomorrow and I’ll be live-updating the post below with all the official specs and features as and when it’s announced, so keep an eye on the thread if you’re unable to watch the live feed.

Choi Gee-sung, Samsung Mobile CEO on-stage talking about how the Note defined a new category in smartphone, and how the display was always the central focus alonside all the tech underneath it that made it a performance monster.

And now, the Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge+. It's being announced RIGHT NOW!

Check this out, a cool new cover for the Note 5 that gives you a full QWERTY keyboard with tacticle keys. Enough to get you Blackberry fans to switch?

4GB LPDDR4 RAM announced for the Note 5 and the S6 Edge+, currently the most memory you'll find in any mobile phone today. Cutting EDGE! No more slow-downs with multiple running apps - smoother performance.

Samsung announce fast wireless charging, letting you charge from empty to full in two hours. That's absolutely incredible when you consider many phones take longer than that to charge fully when using a USB cable. No doubt Samsung have just made wireless charging more relevant than ever before.

Looking good but with things like universal wireless fast charging and smart pay it needs retailers and outlets to adopt quickly otherwise they will be much underused though welcome features. We need all restaurants,  stores,  cafes and travel terminals to keep up with Samsung.
