More live pictures appear showing the Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Just a few hours ago we showed you a couple of live images portraying the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. These were then followed by a few details about the handset's specs, and now we're back with some more pictures.

Again, they're of the live, hands-on variety, clearly being provided by someone with access to a Note 5 prototype. Since we're quite late in its development, the final version of the phone will probably look exactly like this.

Just take into account that the Note 5 is inside a transparent case, because these images are from Chinese case maker Nillkin. Even so, it's pretty obvious that Samsung is going with the glass-metal design that it made famous with the S6 and S6 edge earlier this year.

Both the front and the back of the Galaxy Note 5 are made out of glass, whereas the frame is all metal. Once again we see the S Pen stylus locked into its special slot.

The camera and the LED flash are arranged in a similar fashion to what we've seen in the S6 siblings too. So it looks like the Note 5 will basically just be a bigger Galaxy S6 (though with an S Pen and all the added functionality and software for that), while the much-rumored and leaked Galaxy S6 edge+ will be a blown up version of the S6 edge (sans S Pen, which is probably why it lacks Note branding).

Both the Note 5 and the S6 edge+ should become official on August 12 or August 13. They might even share most, if not all of their hardware specs, according to the latest rumors on the matter.
