Samsung launched the Galaxy Note5 Dual SIM in India today for Rs 51400. We got our hands on the dual SIM variant of the Galaxy Note 5, so let’s take a walk through at the hardware and specs of the phone in this photo gallery.
The Galaxy Note5 Dual SIM sports a 5.7-inch Quad HD (2560×1440 pixels) (518ppi) Super AMOLED curved dual edge display and is powered by an Octa-Core (Quad 2.1GHz + Quad 1.5GHz) 64 bit, 14nm Exynos 7420 processor. Running Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop), the phone comes with 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, 32GB / 64GB internal memory.
It has a 5MP front-facing camera, f/1.9 aperture with earpiece and usual set of proximity sensors.
Below the display, the phone has a trademark physical home button on the bezel with two capacitive touch buttons on either sides. The home button comes equipped with a fingerprint sensor.
Volume rockers are situated on the left side of the phone. The phone measures 153.2 x 76.1 x 7.6mm and weighs 171g.
The power/lock button is present on the right side of the phone.
A 3.5mm audio jack, a microUSB port, loudspeaker grill and a microphone is situated at the bottom. Also present at the extreme right is the S Pen stylus that comes with a clicking mechanism to pop the pen out from its slot.
On the top, the phone houses a microphone along with two nano SIM card slots.
These slots are not hybrid SIM card slots like the Galaxy A series, so you can’t use the secondary SIM slot as a microSD expansion slot.
At the back, the phone features a 16MP rear camera with LED Flash, OIS, f/1.9 aperture, 4K(UHD) video recording.
The Samsung branding is present in the middle followed by the Duos branding. Connectivity options of the phone include support for 4G LTE / 3G HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2X2 MIMO), Bluetooth 4.2 LE, ANT+, NFC. It comes with a 3000mAh battery and supports Fast Charging (wired and wireless).
The Samsung Galaxy Note5 Dual SIM comes in Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum and Silver Titanium colors and is priced at Rs. 51,400 in India for the 32GB variant and the 64GB variant costs Rs. 57,400.
