Samsung Made A Case That Turns The Note 5 Into A Blackberry by igetemi(m): 10:49pm On Aug 24, 2015 |
Android manufacturers have tried phones with physical keyboards before, but they just didn’t have much staying power. Samsung is bringing QWERTY back with the Galaxy Note 5 — with a twist. The physical keyboard Samsung unveiled when they introduced the Galaxy Note 5 today isn’t part of the phone. It’s a case that snaps on, much like the IP-infringing one that Ryan Seacrest’s pet startup tried to sneak past Blackberry. Samsung is a lot more likely to avoid pesky litigation, given their rather chummy relationship with the Waterloo, Ontario company in recent years. In addition to a full QWERTY keyboard, Samsung’s case adds three throwback physical buttons that take you back to the early days of Android phones: back, home, and menu. Clip the case on, and the Note 5’s screen adapts to its presence. It’s a bit like how their S-View covers work, blanking out a portion of the screen and displaying information only where you can actually see it. Pop the case off, and things return to normal. You can pinch, zoom, tap, and scribble all over its 5.7-inch diagonal screen. The Galaxy Note 5 is powered by the same Exynos 7420 processor that Samsung used in the Galaxy S6, and they’ve paired it with a generous 4GB of RAM. It also has a 16MP rear-facing camera and the AMOLED display boasts Quad HD resolution (1440 x 2560 pixels and 518ppi). But while you can clip on a QWERTY keyboard, you won’t be popping in a micro SD card to expand the Note 5’s internal storage or hot-swapping a dead battery for one that’s fully charged. Like the Galaxy S6, the Note 5 doesn’t have a removable back. It appears that Samsung has finally decided that the profit margins on Apple-style NAND upsells are just too good to ignore. |
