As much as I like the look of the S6 Edge I think I will wait to see what the Note 5 brings to the table.

So nice toby had to say it twice. 

I don't expect it to be any different than the one sony accidentally stuck up on xperia lounge last week. 

So: 

Snapdragon 805/810

2k 10.1" display with the usual triluminous live led tech 

16/32gb

Micro sd

Nano sim

Ip68 water proof 1.5m 60 minutes

Android 5.0.1

Possibly get the full 20mp shooter from z1/2/3

Stupidly thin 

Well, that's my guesses

The S6 and S6 Edge advert just shown on ITV. I didn't realise it had an inbuilt charging facility. The advert showed them laying it down on a charging pad...(the advert inferred the charging pad came with the phone?).

Native wireless charging
Implies the charger provided is wireless.
Has o2 stopped that removing chargers from handsets policy?

Given all the problems I've had with the battery on my S4 I'm very reluctant to buy a phone without a removable battery no mater how good it looks

Totally agree hence why I won't be acquiring one even though I love the concept of the S6 Edge.

Bad move by Sammy this time
