Each flagship Galaxy smartphone is eligible to the so-called Galaxy Gifts – a package of premium apps and subscriptions you are getting for free. Those gifts are naturally found in the Galaxy Apps repository, but some of those (Dropbox, OneDrive) may have already been pre-installed.

Anyway, the new Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note5 are also granted a huge package of freebies. There are various popular apps and subscriptions, and those should be available for download right away within the Galaxy Apps store.

Here is the complete lest of free stuff:

Apps: Art Rage, Komoot, Sketch Book

Games: Driver Speedboat Paradise, Empire: Four Kingdoms, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, PES Club Manager

Subscriptions: 6 months for The Economist, 6 months premium for The Guardian, One Kindle ebook each month, 6 months Gold for Lifesum, 6 months for NY Times, 100GB OneDrive for 2 years, 3 months unlimited access for Scribd

Bonus: 15% off of your next reservation via TripAdvisor (up to $100)

You’ve probably noticed some of the apps/games are free by default in the Play Store, in which cases you’ll receive some free in-app content, which otherwise will cost you some cash.

If you already own a Note5 or S6 edge+ you may want to check with the Galaxy Apps. A free Samsung account is required for the download.

Samsung opted not to release the Galaxy Note5 phablet in Europe, but things might change soon enough. First we saw the N920F model leak through the India’s import database and later it popped on the Bluetooth SIG’s website.

What’s so special about this particular F model is that the F suffix has always marked the European models of the Galaxies prior to the Note5. The EU models of the Galaxy S5, S6, S6 edge, Note 4, Note Edge, the A and E series, and some Neo models all have F post their model numbers.

So, the latest appearance of the SM-N920F Note5 model is in the USA’s FCC. The device was submitted in late July and has a 180-days of confidentiality request for the phone’s test photos. This means the announcement of the EU model should happen by the end of January next year.

Of course recent rumors point out the EU flavor might be going official as soon as August 28. While Samsung hasn’t expressed interest in selling the Note5 in Europe, it has never denied the possibility.

The Note5 sales are going well for now and we guess Samsung may want to give the EU market a chance too. If the launch doesn’t turn out on August 28, we guess the upcoming holiday season might be a good enough guess for a deadline.

Thank you, Dennis Soleymani, for the…
