 This is Dan Seifer with The Verge and I'm standing outside of Alice Tully Hall here in Lincoln Center in New York where Samsung just announced the new Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. These are Samsung's big phones this year. Earlier this year they announced the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge which are a little bit smaller, but these ones have big screens and big features. The Note 5 has a 5.7 inch display, it's got Samsung's S Pen for productivity, a bunch of new bells and whistles. Made out of metal and glass now, smaller, a little easier to hold but still has that big screen. Then the S6 Edge Plus is pretty much like a bigger S6 Edge, it's got a 5.7 inch display instead of 5.1 but the sides are curved just like before on both sides, really designed as an entertainment device. Both of these devices are going to be available on all four US carriers really, really soon. You can actually pre-order it starting this afternoon and then you'll be able to get it in stores on August 21st. That's a bit of a different move that Samsung's done with the Note in the past, it's getting them out ahead of Apple's event in September as a way to try and get it in people's minds and hopefully in people's hands before they can buy the new iPhone. But not to leave us totally hanging, Samsung also teased a new Gear S2 smartwatch which is going to be announcing officially at IFA in Berlin in a few weeks. Not too much to say about it, it's round, it's been rumored for a long time but we're looking to find out more soon.
