A video showing the 3D CAD model of the purported Galaxy Note 5 have surfaced. The leaked schematics clearly reveal how the Note 5 would appear when it releases this September.
The 3D CAD model has been revealed by @onleaks on Nowhere Else, who is known for making accurate predictions on unreleased smartphones. By looking at the video, it can be clearly seen that the Note 4 successor will appear similar to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
The phablet features curved edges on its rear side that will help in providing comfortable grip to the user. It is uncertain whether the handset will feature a removable or non-removable glass rear panel like the Galaxy S6.
If the Galaxy Note 5 houses a non-removable rear, it is likely that it won't be featuring a microSD card slot or removable battery. However, the Note 5 is expected to come with high speed UFS 2.0 flash storage.
The Galaxy Note 5 renders clearly show a compartment at the bottom edge for the S-Pen stylus. Since there is no place around the stylus compartment to pull it out by using fingers, speculations claim that Samsung may introduce auto-ejection feature for the stylus
Rumors are rife that the traditional microUSB slot is expected to get replaced by USB-Type C on the upcoming phablet. However, renders show the presence of microUSB slot on the device.
As far as the dimensions of the handset are concerned, it measures 153.4 x 77.3 x 10.2 mm. The 10.2 mm thickness also accounts the protruding camera. Without the camera hump, the thickness of the device would be around 9 mm, GSM Arena reported.
The release of the Galaxy Note 5 has become all the more imminent as Samsung has launched a new discount on the Galaxy Note 4. Customers who purchase the Galaxy Note 4 before July 26 at 11:59 PM with its full retail price, Samsung will provide a rebate of $200. The offer is only available for T-Mobile and AT&T customers in the United States.
Industry experts are predicting that by offering the Note 4 at discounted price, Samsung is try to finish its remaining stocks of the older phablet. The Galaxy Note 5 release date is expected to happen during the IFA 2015 tech trade show in Berlin that will be held in September.
