Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5
Samsung has announced two new large high-end Android handsets: the Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5.
Both phones have 5.7in (14.5cm) screens and are going on sale earlier in the year than their previous generations.
The launches follow five successive falls in Samsung Electronics' quarterly profits.
Analysts say the popularity of mid-range phones from Chinese rivals, and Apple's shift to bigger iPhones, have dented demand for Samsung's devices.
The two new phones also introduce a couple of new features:
- They support the ultra-high quality
audio (UHQA) format. A new hardware component means there should be
"less sound distortion" when files saved in the codec are played. Users
can also use bundled software to "upscale" existing MP3s.
- A button in their camera apps activates a "live broadcast" mode, which streams 1080p high definition video to YouTube and sends invitations to selected acquaintances.
