This would be doubtful.
Last year they released the S6 Edge Plus mostly to appease users in Europe that wouldn't be getting the Note 5. Their records showed that under 20--percent of users in europe the S-Pen and just wanted the Note device for the large form factor. This is mostly why the Edge+ even got made.
This year however, they have decided to release the Edge itself as a larger device. There is no benefit to releasing an S7 edge plus this year. However, we may see a Note 6 and Note 6 Edge. We will be seeing the Note released throughout Europe as well.

What do you mean with that? Do you for fully real THINK that Samsung will release after few months a NEW Edge? Why the freakin' crap should they when they always released their phones once in a year?
I'd say it's unlikely. I feel as if they're only going to release the Note 6 this summer.
Why?
The s7 edge appeals to both s6 edge+ and s6 edge users with a 5.5" screen. If Samsung were to hypothetically make a S7 edge+ it'd have have a ~6.0" screen for product differentiation. On top of that the sales were not that great with the s6 edge+ in comparison to the note 5. Oh and let's not forget that confusing naming convention they're likely trying to oust.

have you ever heard about s6 edge+? it was released shortly after..exactly
I don't think they will... Simply because why make the S7 EDGE is bigger. S6 vs S6 edge were the same size. the S6E+ was larger. What are they going to do make a even bigger one? I don't think they'll do it this time around.
I only discussed this yesterday with someone who said they were waiting for it before updating. I'll put money on Samsung not releasing a plus variant of the S7.
Beefheart said:
I really can't see it. The Note 7 Edge is 5.5" so unless they plan to take it up to 6" as I said earlier, they won't be releasing an interim device because it has a bigger screen. And 6" for a phone is too much. As for the camera and storage, neither is a reason to bring a new device out before the S8 in the first quarter of next year. The S7 has expandable storage and comes in a 64gb flavour already in some territories. Why bother with 128gb when it can be expanded via the SD slot for far less money? And the camera is already the best on the market at this time.
The S6 Edge+ made sense, as for some the S6 Edge wasn't big enough and they avoided it as a result. That doesn't apply to the S7 Edge. In short, holding off because you have a good enough device in the S6+ is fine and makes sense. But don't do it because you think they will release an interim device less than 6 months down the line, I strongly suspect you will be disappointed.

I don't think a 6" for a phone is too much. Look at the Nexus 6. I bet you money they will release an upgraded version this year
Samsung cater for the majority. And 6" for the majority is too big for a phone. If they do release another device based on the S7 this year it won't be because it has a bigger screen. And I can't think of what else they'd release one for. I'd take that bet.

Yes I have. And no, they will not make an Edge+ because Edge itself has already enough big screen. That would be an 6-inch screen and there is no way in hell that they will make it.
My theory, and I have no real reason to believe this but it's what I'd do.
Samsung's new line-up:
March release:
S7 and S7 edge, we know these
September release:
Note 6 at 5.7"
Note 6 edge at 5.7"-6"
Each primary phone (S or Note) has an edge variant. Serves different customer bases while keeping everyone happy.

Well Dennis, let's say: inside information!
By the way: did the Note 5 have an "Edge"-variant?
The Note 4 didn't either; it was de "Note Edge", NOT "Note 4 Edge"...
So: your statement "each primary phone has an Edge variant" is not correct.
And your theory about the september line-up isn't either...

Note edge was a note 4 with an edge screen.
I never said that last year or the year before Samsung did what I was suggesting they were going to do this year.
I never said this was anything more then a theory, I should have said a guess. It's just that, what I think they will do. Your 'inside' information may be true. I don't know, and I'm not one to claim any special knowledge when I don't have any.
Wondering about this myself, hopefully they don't release a + version because that would suck.

So not even 2 weeks ago, the code name was confirmed Project Zero 2(S6 Edge 2 Name) (Note Edge 2 Name is Project Noble), which in Samsung terminology means starting all over from scratch...
From what I've read around on various sources, this is moreless going to be a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge 2, no stylus, single edge again, larger screen, what I'm stumped on and actually questioning is the storage and rear camera, so it goes it'll have 16Gb rom, and a 16mp rear camera, front will be 8mp.
But this also leaves me to wonder, WILL WE SEE A Note Edge 2 this year or just only a S6 Edge 2?
Theres this with no factual background sources and ANYONE can buy a domain name make a semi-pro layout and post speculations: http://galaxynoteedge2.com/, I'm mainly interested to see if we get to keep the removable battery.

Man i hope its not a single edge without s pen. I used the note edge for a little bit and decided to trade it recently for a nexus 6 knowing the new edge would only be a few months away. I really miss that thing. It was a head turner. Another thing im worried about is it being another 400 dollar service agreement price. I got an open line just waiting on it to drop.
I have heard different things. Double edge no s pen is what i have heard the most. But i have seen some double edge with s pen images too.

Well apparently I think there's going to be 3 devices released september this year, Note 5, Note Edge 2 (Project Noble) and S6 Edge (Project Zen renamed to Project Zero 2)
This was just published by AndroidPIT
https://www.androidpit.com/galaxy-n...ter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20150706_DN
all rumors point toward no note edge 2 being released. the s6 edge+ (not part of the note series) looks to be just a larger version of the s6 edge. and like the s6 edge no right or left independent displays. i believe the NE2 was axed because it would be very expensive to produce. i think samsung decided that for the small number of sales it got, and the price they would have to sell a new one for, (which would be north of $1000usd) it simply wasn't practical. my assumption is based on the belief that the devise would follow on the build quality of the current S series, that it would need a huge non replaceable battery and 64 or 128gb of non expandable memory.

Look up Project Noble... That's the Ne2
do you know how many "projects" a large corporation like samsung starts without a public release. the note edge was a "project" at one point . originally it was only being developed for the local korean market. the note edge was never being developed for world distribution. public outcry made it a reality. just because they have a "project noble" in the works does not mean a note edge 2 release is imminent.

You're being misinformed by being ignorant, the articles clearly cover 3 devices, the Note 5, Project Zero 2(Samsung's Starting Over from Scratch code name aka Project Zen) and the Note Edge 2 aka Project Noble. But nope okay obviously YOU KNOW More than me so why not go make your own thread, where you can be right with no sourcing.
I'd go as far as to argue that it didn't sell well cause it was released in limited quantities, unlike the S6 Edge.
calm down, it's just my opinion based on everything we know today. i hope your correct. just look, we've seen leaked pics of the s6 edge+, the note 5, but where are the leaked images of the note edge 2. then you read all the rumors like this (http://www.ubergizmo.com/2015/06/no-galaxy-note-5-edge/) and you don't hold out much hope.

LoL I hope ? you're wrong. I think it would be cool to get a dual edged note, then again I rarely ever use the spen, so I sacrifice that for being the same size as the Note Edge.
It didn't sell well because there was no hype/advertising for it and it had a 429$ upgrade price. Why would u buy it for 429 when u could get a regular note 4 for 129 dollars less. It didn't even show up under best buy trade in program when i had mine. Honestly i think it was looked at as a gimmick and under appreciated. I loved mine and if the new edge doesn't have s pen or independent display i wont be using my upgrade on it.

I know I was at Sprint the day it was released and 2 other people were there trying to get one and were directed to that store having them in stock from another store and 3 T-Mobile stores I frequent were sold out of them.

I unfortunately am under the impression that the Note Edge is going to end up being a one-off device.
The setup and functionality of the edge screen changed with the s6 edge, and unless there have been updates, all I've heard is that s6 edge is more about aesthetic appearance than usefulness by comparison to the Note Edge.
Samsung doesn't seem to be really interested in developing the concept of the edge panel as a full utility to enhance their implementation of Android.
Next to nothing has shown up in their market for edge specific new features or panel choices.
Honestly, they seem more interested in tinkering around with their in-house operating system and smart watches lately.
I am disappointed that they have more or less it seems to have abandoned really developing and exploring the possible functionality of the edge screen.
Right now, it seems like Samsung is just sitting around fat and happy, because every other android device maker seems to have stepped up their game in terms of their respective new devices. You can debate if their good or bad, but at least you can see they're driving at progressively updating and improving their phones.
What is Samsung doing? One step forward and 2 steps back. I could care less about a metal backing on the phone when it means getting rid of adding a miniSD for storage, as well as no longer being able to swap out the battery.
The battery situation might be tolerable, but the getting rid of being able to add storage is a joke. As if adding a tiny slot on the top or bottom of the phone to insert a microSD is beyond their engineering capabilities!?
If device manufacturers didn't charge through the nose for larger capacity "upgrades" it might not be as big a deal, but then at the very least any of their "flagship" phones should have no less than 64gb- especially since they use 4-6 gb for the OS and customization.

I am absolutely disappointed by this!
Terrible move by Samsung for not releasing this in the UK.. Kick in the teeth
Time to think about changing brands
Apparently no 128gb model either. A person on a forum linked a Verizon page showing a 128gb, but Verizon is stating was a place holder for the launch and based on S6 offering one. I guess
a few days/weeks to see if Samsung changes their tune and then months before one could be added to the line up and landed to consumers.
EU actually.
the entire continent is missing out on the note 5, not just the little island in the west.
In fact Samsung now offer more or less only one phone in two sizes and with our without round edges (S6/edge/edge+ and note 5) and then they castrate themselves by taking the note from 1/3 of the world market with the argument that the phones were too similar and they would fear a cannibalism effect like they suffered already with S6 and S6edge. If they would had designed the note 5 differently and had given it besides the pen other differentations like replaceable batteries, plastic housing, sd card and water proofness they could have addressed different potential customers and they would not had the need to withdraw it from Europe.
Almost like Samsung is being mind controlled by Apple, since Apple could not hope for a "better" product to go against with the new iPhone 6+.
What a stupid decision are Samsung determined too cede their market share to their rivals.
At the most it may appear in the EU next year.

This article contains an updated statement from Samsung.
http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/13/...d_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget&ncid=rss_semi
It has to come to Europe. I am defiant by that statement. Even if it will be in 2016.
I still think it's ridiculous though. I thought, I'll skip the Note 4 and get the 5, and then it's delayed by six months.
The market availability of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will vary according to consumer needs and the specific market situation. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will be introduced in the US and Asian markets in August and we will look at further opportunities to launch the Galaxy Note 5 in other markets.

Short story of my day...
"Uhhh, can't wait for the new Note 5 as I wanted a replacement for my Note 3."
Samsung: No SD card.
"Okay, not fond of it but I will survive."
Samsung: Can't change battery.
"Ahh dammit, but still want it."
"Actually just shut up and take my money!"
Samsung: F... you, we won't sell it to you.

Imo this was a very risky, bold move by not releasing this in the uk. But when you think about it korea and china constantly get phones that the uk and us dont. Im not going to bash them becuase i have an s6 and love it. We all should of known the note would be nothing but an overblown s6. Just like the nexus 6 was a moto x 2014 on steriods. Id assume once sales drop for sammy they will come to their senses and at least bring back an sd card on the s7 and note 6. Not much different than the "flagship killer" oneplus2 with no nfc or the m9 that was just a m8. Not a great year for new devices.

yup, I love my S6, had to buy it because my moto x 2014 broke but I really wanted to wait for the note5. I was still ready to get the note5 when it would come out but this phone is not even a straight upgrade from the s6, why did they remove the IR blaster?
By the looks of it the AT&T model supports the UK 4G bands (3, 7 & 20).
My girlfriend is currently in the States and returns in early September.
If she purchased one direct from an AT&T store to bring back for me, how long do you think I'd have to wait before people were able to offer unlock codes for them so I could use one with a Three UK sim card?
Apple here I come!!!
Samsung touch wiz still an issue. Had the s6 Edge which was cool but battery was poor and poor. Probably same issue with s6 Edge + and the price will be another deciding factor..
HTC pretty much quiet next couple of years due to loss after loss.
Moto x just not premium enough.
Chinese phones just don't get to us in time.

Did that baby it was nice whilst it lasted the whole month! Again touch wiz and the lag was too much to handle.
People are going to make a pretty penny doing import sales of the Note 5 into Europe I suspect.
I am debating whether or not to buy an unlocked international version of this phone but I do not like all the negative technical issues and battery life issues i see on a lot of forums. I have had android before and would not care to root the phone and flash a better kernel or rom to fix the issues if possible, but I want to know your opinion and also to see if anything has improved recently.
Also if not what phones would you all recommend that is similar to the edge plus?

Wait for s7 my s6 edge plus have two months without any problems but at this time I would wait for the s7
NO don't buy s6 Edge Plus. Buy Samsung galaxy S7 Edge Plus instead. should be out in March. just 2 months left.
galaxy S7 should have a bigger battery.
I'm due a free upgrade in 26 days and am either going with the s7 edge of the oneplus 3 until the s8 whatever comes out. Which would be the better choose thank you.

What made you swap?
The S7 edge is a superior device in every aspects imo. The OnePlus 3 is cheap though and gives you more for the money. If you're on a budget, go for the 1+3, it's a sexy device and you'll hardly find a phone that great for $400
If you want the best of the bests though, no matter how much it costs, the S7 edge is the way to go. I've had many phones through the years, always flagships, and my S7 edge is the one I've preferred and enjoyed the most so far. Terrific device!
I wouldn't recommend the S7 though (non edge), the battery is on the "smallish" side imo and isn't that great. Not that it's a bad phone, but the "edge" is the one to get, ideally the Exynos variant.
S7 edge or 1+3, you can't go wrong anyway. The only concern: How much money are you willing to pay for a phone
I tried both phones and decided to use S7 egde, its much better phone, but if you want to buy something excellent for lower price you can go with Oneplus 3.
I have had a samsung galaxy note 3 for about 2 years and it has worn down a lot. Ive been wanting to get an s7 edge, but I've been reading and hearing good things about the galaxy s8. Should I wait the extra 5 or 6 months for the s8, or should I go ahead and get the s7 edge?
go for s7 edge...as a owner of s7e i don't jump to new devices right away until 2-3 months of release until the premium price is reduced, availability of drvs for it and root

Hi,
I really like the S7 Edge however if you can afford to wait I'd wait for the S8, it's just a few months away and when it's released you'll even get a nice price cut on the S7 Edge in case you find it to be a better investment.
If however, you need the phone right now, then go for the S7 Edge, you won't regret your acquisition it's an amazing phone.
All the best,
~Lord

There is pro and cons.
If you buy S7 Edge you are coming to a prepped table with a lot of roms, root and stuff.
You would know what is working and what is not working.
If you buy S8 you have to wait for the release of different stuff, if you are a root guy.
Will be a waiting game for the s8 it may come out later than expected.
I would get the s7e and like other members have said wait a few months after the s8 is released then maybe sell your s7e and get the s8
