Samsung Galaxy Note 5, What We Know So Far (Updated)
We have heard a number of rumors about the new Samsung Galaxy Note 5
over the last few weeks, Samsung are expected to launch the device in
August.
The company is apparently planning an August launch for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to release the device ahead of Apple’s new iPhone 6S and 6S smartphones.
Samsung are expected to give the handset a complete redesign, it is
said to feature a similar design to the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
and will apparently also use premium materials.
The hardware on the new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is expected to get a
significant upgrade over the current version and their are rumors that
this could be Samsung first smartphone with a 4K display.
The display on the handset is rumored to measure 5.5 inches and will
apparently have an Ultra HD 4K resolution, the company is also expected
to introduce a new high end processor with the device, the Exynos 7422.
The Exynos 7422 is said to be a processor, GPU, RAM and LTE modem in
one chip, the device is also expected to come with 4GB of RAM, the
current note 4 comes with 3GB of RAM, the handset is also expected to be
Samsung’s first Android device with the new USB Type-C connector.
For storage Samsung are expected to do what they did with the Galaxy
S6 and S6 Edge, the new Note 5 is rumored to come with a choice of 32GB,
64GB and 128GB, as yet it is not clear whether the handset will come

a significant update, the front camera is expected to be an 8 megapixel
model and the rear camera is said to be a 20 megapixel camera with a

come with Android Lollipop, as opposed to the new Android M which is
expected later in the year. As soon as we get some more details on the
new Samsung Galaxy Note 5, including some photos of the device, we will
let you guys know.
It looks like Samsung may not launch a new Note Edge version
of the Galaxy Note 5, like they did with the Galaxy Note 4, the reason
that they have decided not to launch an Edge version of the handset is
because of the new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, which will feature a similar sized display to the new Note 5.

Google Maps Update Brings Some New Features
One interesting new feature in the latest version of Google Maps for Android is that Maps will let you know if a place you are visiting will be closed when you arrive.
If you use Google Maps to get directions to a restaurant, store or other places, Google Maps will automatically calculate your journey time and then take this into account with the opening times of your destination.
If you were headed to a particular store and get directions using Google Maps, if that store is closed when you are expected to arrive, Google will notify you before you set off, this seems like an interesting feature.
The latest version of Google Maps is now available for Android from the Google Play Store.

YouTube Android App Will Get Permanent Cast Button
This update would add a permanent Cast button to the action bar, whether or not there is any Chromecast or Android TV nearby where you are. If there is no use for the permanent Cast button, it will stay greyed out so you don’t select it by accident. So if you don’t need it, it won’t be in your way. That just makes sense, but it’s nice to know that the design is built with a common sense approach.
So what else is new? Well, for one thing there will be new icons that appear whenever you decide to select the privacy level of content that you are adding to YouTube. The same three choices as usual (Public, Unlisted and Private) will still apply, but these icons might be easier to understand. You will need a device that runs on Android 4.0.3 or higher. What do you think? Do these improvements sound good?
