The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is already out in the open but will unfortunately be made available only to select regions.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge + officially debuted in mid-August.

The highly awaited phablet will make its official debut Monday of next week at a special event to be held in New Delhi, India, with pricing and availability likely to be announced by then.

With the limited release to select countries, Samsung loyalists are left with no recourse but to settle for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge +. But of course, there are other ways to get the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 like perhaps from the grey market, online retailers, or through the aid of some friends headed in regions where the phablet is available.

Only North America and Asia are said to be the blessed regions where the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will be made available. At present, the phablet has been officially released in North America and South Korea. Unfortunately, Europe is not included in the list. There is, however, a belief that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 could reach the U.K. market in 2016.

For those who are unaware, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will feature a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED QHD display (2560 x 1440p) and come powered by an Exynos 7420 SoC. It will also come with 4 GB of RAM as well as an option of either 32 GB or 64 GB internal storage. Sadly, there is no provision for external (microSD) storage.

For its shooting features, the device will have a 16-megapixel main camera and a 5-megapixel one up front. It will also have an S Pen in tow.

It will also come with a nonremovable 3,000 mAh battery, which is reportedly something that can last for up to three days, and run on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box.
