Next is now, and has been so for four days since the official launch of Samsung’s top-of-the-line phablets. And that’s a plural for a second year in a row, the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ succeeding the Note 4 and, in a way, the Note Edge.

A lot has changed in 2015, and critics will have plenty to cling to with this generation. More importantly, devoted brand fans have been heard questioning their loyalty, and the upgrade is not an automatic decision.

Of course, it’s very early to be making statements now, since we don’t actually have much objective data. That said, a specsheet and a bunch of photos are a pretty solid base to answer our customary poll question – “Hot or not?”.

Samsung Galaxy Note5

Glass has made its way to the top-shelf phablet, much to the disappointment of die-hard Note fans. The faux leather is gone and has taken with it the user-replaceable battery and the microSD slot, shattering the hopes that the Note5 will stick to the series’ core.

Other than that, it is a Note through and through, with a large 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display, S Pen as good as ever, improved Air command menu, and the most powerful hardware available. So is the Galaxy Note5 still the productivity king, or has it swayed a bit too much towards form, abandoning function? Oh, wait, the actual question is different.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+

The Galaxy S6 edge+ has less promise to live up to and generally doesn’t carry as much responsibility, though Samsung’s accounting would say otherwise. It’s targeted at a more light-spirited user, with priorities in looks and good old fun, and yet it packs the same powerful innards. Sounds like an easy sell, what do you…

The new Galaxy Note was unveiled this week, so we decided to look back at the history of one of the most successful phablets. It wasn’t the first, but it’s credited with the resurrection of the stylus (the capacitive touchscreen on the iPhone gets credit for killing it).

Looking back through archives we can’t help but notice that mid-August was historically rich on rumors and leaks about the Note, though basically nothing official. That’s because Samsung reserved the Galaxy Note unveiling for IFA, except this year when it was pulled forward. We’ll get to the reason why, but let’s start at the beginning.

2011: Samsung Galaxy Note

Back in 2011 DLNA certification revealed the Samsung I9220, “expected to come running Gingerbread 2.3.3 with a 4.3″ Super AMOLED rumored to have a 1280×720 resolution.” Well, that guess at the screen size was off by a full inch.

The Samsung Galaxy Note had a 5.3″ Super AMOLED display with 800 x 1,280px resolution and Wacom digitizer. Wacom is well-known for making graphics tablets used by digital artists and Samsung was promising a great handwriting experience with its new gadget.

The phablet itself was a beefed up version of the Galaxy S II. Samsung settled on a two launch schedule – the Galaxy S will rule the first half of the year, the Galaxy Note will be the H2 update. Both gadgets build on the specs of the previous one and would introduce features to be adopted by the next one.

2012: Samsung Galaxy Note II

A year later we were hearing about the potential updates to the screen – a 5.5″ AMOLED display, built on an “Unbreakable Plane (UBP) and plastic substrate.” The display was supposedly flexible, which would allow Samsung to create a curved screen.

Well, that didn’t pan out, but looking back it’s clear that Samsung has been working on this tech for years before the Galaxy Note Edge showed up.

Back to the Samsung Galaxy Note II. It indeed increased the screen size to 5.5″ but dropped the resolution to 720 x 1,280px (moving from 16:10 to 16:9 aspect ratio). It doubled the CPU cores and the RAM, but was otherwise a fairly small update.

The S Pen was redesigned, allowing the Note II to detect it from a small distance, enabling Air View and other gestures.

Curiously, around that time it was suggested that Samsung might be interested in buying BlackBerry, which both companies denied. While it hasn’t changed its mind yet, Samsung unveiled a hardware QWERTY add-on for the new Galaxy S6 edge+, which draws some comparisons to BlackBerrys of the past.

2013: Samsung Galaxy Note III

Another 0.2″ bump in screen size brought the Galaxy Note display to its final size – 5.7″. The resolution would have been increased to 1080p (finally a bump in pixel density) and the CPU cores would be doubled again, at least in the Exynos version.

After the Galaxy S III/Note II generation, Samsung started moving away from its own Exynos chipsets and onto Snapdragons, because consumers wanted LTE and Exynos didn’t have the right modem.

The 8MP camera of the previous two models was dropped for a 13MP one. It improved on Galaxy S4’s 13MP camera with the addition of 2160p video capture. The Note III also jumped on USB 3.0, though that didn’t last. Another introduction, one that would actually catch on, was the Flip Covers with a window, allowing notifications to be shown while also keeping the screen safe.

2014: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge

The Galaxy Note III had faux leather farmed in faux metal. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 would make that real metal, shortly after the Galaxy Alpha went there first.

Anyway, the screen size stayed the same, but it was time for another resolution bump – QHD or 1,440 x 2,560px. This model improved the camera again, going up to 16MP and adding optical image stabilization (a first for a Samsung phone outside of camera hybrid novelties).

There were plenty of rumors about a second version of the Note, one with a three-sided display. That was one side too many, but the Galaxy Note Edge introduced the world to screens with a small, practical curve on one side.

Finally the rumors that have been going on since Note II times materialized. The side curve was used for notifications, gestures and shortcuts and ultimately it was a testing ground for the dual-curved Samsung Galaxy S6 edge that came out half a year…

A couple of years ago, Microsoft reached a deal to acquire Nokia’s struggling devices and services business, and just recently, the Finnish company sold its HERE mapping unit to a group of German car-makers.

It’s true that Nokia had terrible last five years, but this doesn’t take away the fact that it was this very company that effectively defined the mobile industry for over a decade prior, and gave us some of the most memorable phones.

In this article, we take a trip down memory lane to revisit Nokia’s history, which – hold your breath – spans a whopping 150 years.

Humble beginnings

While Nokia may remind most of us of only mobile phones, the company in fact started out as a paper mill, which was established in 1865 by mining engineer Fredrik Idestam at the Tammerkoski Rapids in south-western Finland.

However, the name Nokia wasn’t yet born. It was the location of his second mill – on the banks of the Nokianvirta river – that inspired Idestam to name his company Nokia Ab, something which happened in 1871. After around three decades, the company also ventured into electricity generation.

Meanwhile, Eduard Polón founded Finnish Rubber Works in 1898, and Arvid Wickström established Finnish Cable Works in 1912. In 1918, Finnish Rubber Works acquired Nokia to secure access to the latter’s hydro-power resources, and in 1922, Finnish Cable Works was also acquired by the newly formed conglomerate.

While the three companies were jointly owned, they continued to work independently until 1967, when they were finally merged and Nokia Corporation was born. The newly formed company mainly focused on four markets: paper, electronics, rubber, and cable. It developed things like toilet paper, bicycle and car tires, rubber footwear, TVs, communication cables, robotics, PCs, and military equipment, among others.

Portfolio expansion

In 1979, Nokia entered into a joint venture with leading Scandinavian color TV manufacturer Salora to create Mobira Oy, a radio telephone company. A few years later, Nokia launched the world’s first international cellular system dubbed Nordic Mobile Telephone network, which linked Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland. This was followed by the launch of the company’s as well as world’s first car-phone dubbed Mobira Senator, which weighed in at around 10 kg.

In 1984, Nokia acquired Salora and changed the name of its telecommunications unit to Nokia-Mobira Oy. The year also marked the launch of Mobira Talkman, which was advertised as one of the first transportable phones. This means it could be used both in and out of car, although it was still around 5kg.

Three years later, the company introduced its first compact phone called Mobira Cityman 900, which was also the world’s first hand-held mobile telephone. Despite weighing around 800g and carrying a price tag of around $5,456, it sold like hot cakes.

The phone became iconic and was nicknamed “The Gorba” after the then Soviet Union president Mikhail Gorbachev used it to to make a call from Helsinki to Moscow during a press conference in October 1987.

The following year brought a tough phase for the company as it witnessed sharp drop in profits owing to severe price competition in the consumer electronics markets, and its chairman Kari Kairamo committed suicide reportedly due to stress.

The new leadership brought changes, dividing the company into six units: telecommunications, consumer electronics, cables and machinery, data, mobile phones, and basic industries, while divesting other units like flooring, paper, rubber, and ventilation systems. In 1989, Nokia-Mobira Oy became Nokia Mobile Phones.

Change in focus – mobile phones

In 1990’s, Nokia’s top leadership decided to focus solely on the telecommunications market, and as a result, the company’s data, power, television, tire, and cable units were sold off in the first few years of the decade.

In 1991, world’s first GSM call was made by the then Finnish prime minister, Harri Holkeri. Unsurprisingly, it was made using Nokia equipment. The next year, the company’s first hand-held GSM phone Nokia 1011 was launched.

The device reportedly had a talk time of 90 minutes and could store 99 contact numbers. It was also known as Mobira Cityman 2000.

A couple of years later, the company launched its 2100 series of phones, which were also…

As most of you have surely heard – the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ are now official. Samsung unveiled the pair of phablets at the June 13 Unpacked event and quite unsurprisingly, the announcement is already causing waves in our top ten chart.

The aforementioned Note5 managed to swoop in, mere hours after its announcement and take the second spot away from the OnePlus 2. Interestingly enough, however, the Galaxy S6 edge+ is still nowhere to be found in the top ten chart at the time of writing this article. This is rather odd, considering Samsung intentionally focused attention towards the edged model, slightly neglecting the Note and even limiting its EU availability for the time being. Judging from fan interest, however, it appears the Korean giant might have overlooked the Note a little too soon, as loyal fans are still showing their love for the legendary productivity line. But back to the chart.

At first place we find the Moto G (3rd gen) for yet another week. It seems the allure of a budget-friendly, “vanilla Android” device is still going strong. At third place we see another familiar device – the Galaxy Grand Prime. It is followed closely by the Galaxy A8 and the Galaxy S6, which have swapped places since last week and are now at fourth and sixth respectively.

The aforementioned OnePlus 2 has really dropped in interest during the past few days. That’s particularly confusing given that the smartphone official sales just started.

In the bottom half of the chart we find a rather odd new entry at seventh place – the budget-friendly Galaxy J5. This is its unexpected debut on the chart, so we can only imagine it is tied to an ongoing sales promotion and should be shot lived. Then again, we did say the same about the Lenovo K3 Note well over a month ago and it is still hanging on to the list, although dropping in popularity and now at eight place.

At the very bottom of the scoreboard we find the Galaxy A5, down a spot and the iPhone 6, which once managed to reenter the chart after a few consecutive weeks of absence.

The Sony Xperia C5 Ultra and the Xperia M5 were announced less than two weeks ago, but have already gathered a loyal following. Our weekly poll results are out and Sony’s midrange pair has gotten plenty of fan love.

The bezelless Xperia C5 Ultra collected a total of 84% of positive votes – a huge achievement, rivaling the Moto X Style from the week before. And we understand the enthusiasm, the massive 6-inch FullHD display is blazing hot on its own, but the phone is not without other merits (the 13MP front camera with flash says “Hi”).

We expected a closer call with the Xperia M5, but the flagship in disguise achieved more or less the same numbers – only one in five voters dislikes it.

This all-round performer has power to spare thanks to the top-of-the-line Mediatek chipset, sports the same 13MP front camera to cater to the selfie crowd, and comes in a water-tight package nearly identical to the company’s flagship. Xperia Z3+,…

The past few days in the mobile realm were quite busy to say the least. August 13 finally came and with it the eagerly-anticipated Samsung Unpacked event. As expected, the Korean giant revealed a pair of new devices and made the Galaxy Note5 and the Galaxy S6 edge+ official.

Both phablets lived up to the bulk of the rumors and come with Exynos 7420 SoC, gorgeous 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED displays and 4GB of RAM. Besides a tour of the phones, we also got to see the odd clip-on keyboard that Samsung is offering as an accessory, earned some info on pricing and availability and even got our first glimpse of camera quality in a few Note5 sample shots.

There we however a couple of disappointments from camp Samsung as well. For one, we learned that the Note5 won’t be initially available in the EU, through official channels that is.

In other news, new information on the next pair of Nexus devices surfaced online. The LG and Huawei manufactured units allegedly look quite similar, but nothing is certain yet. Apple also made headlines with an announcement that iOS 8.4.1 is now available to all supported devices and with interesting rumors about the possible return on the budget-oriented “C”-range, with an iPhone 6C and 1GB of RAM inside the iPhone 6s.

Xiaomi has also been making the headlines. The Chinese manufacturer officially announced the Redmi Note 2 and the Redmi Note 2 Prime, as well as the all new MIUI 7 OS. Last, but not least, Qualcomm officially outed its new top-of-the-line chipset – the Snapdragon 820, as well as the new Snapdragon 212 and 412 models.

If you think you might have missed something from the week, here is a list of the hottest topics in the tech world.

We get our hands on retail units of Samsung Galaxy Note5 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, so we decided to benchmark them before anything else. As you probably know by now, the duo of 5.7″ phablets made their official debut a couple of days ago.

Both newcomers feature Exynos 7420 chipset developed in-house by Samsung with 1.5 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU, 2.1 GHz quad-core Cortex-A57 CPU, Mali-T760MP8 GPU, and 4GB of RAM. Save for the slight bump in RAM, the hardware setup is the same as in Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.

First up is the CPU-centric Geekbench 3 test. Rather unsurprisingly, the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ performed right in line with the Samsung Galaxy S6 family.
