Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will supposedly get USB-C port

[Guest]

Add Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5 to the list of rumored devices that may pack a USB-C port. A new report out of China claims the upcoming phablet will adopt the reversible charging port along with a few other upgraded specs.

Beyond its new USB connector, the Galaxy Note 5 is expected to offer an upgraded processor and more storage. According to Zol.com and its inside sources, the device will pack a new Exynos 7422 chip and super fast UFS 2.0 flash memory developed by Samsung earlier this year. The report also backs up earlier claims that the Note 5 will feature a 2K 5.89-inch display along with a 4100mAh battery.

Samsung won’t officially announce the Galaxy Note 5 until later this year (likely in September), but we already have a pretty good idea what to expect. We wouldn’t be surprised to see a design similar to the Galaxy S6 with plenty of metal and glass for a high-end look. We hope the company will still include wireless charging support, even if USB-C makes the cut as well.

I am not a Samsung user but... Neato! All upcoming phones should get USB-C imo, especially the faster transfer speeds are nice...

But.. But I thought the EU wanted universal plugs (AKA: Micro USB)? 

Wonder what this will do, will they accept or nah? Would be cool if they accepted

Samsung fans can now bask in the glory of reversible connectors. They're a god send.

Well we can't stick to Micro USB forever.

Just let them change the universal to USB-C it's bound to happen

Good idea that huge battery... Want....

Funnily enough I think Sony just made the claim that a USB Type-C standard on smartphones is quite some time away, and we have this. Exciting.

That and the display, is the reason why i buy the Note series.

Good, this is literally the only thing that i really wanted to get the type C connector on. Who gives a shit if its on a motherboard, i just want a small form factor connector with high transfer rates. The USB3 micro connector was horrible, and thank god everyone dropped it to go back to USB2's.

Definitely agree. Note 4 display is great and the huge battery + quick charge is awesome. Hopefully this report is true and they stay with a 2k display. Ive heard rumors of a 4k display on the Note 5 and that is just a stupid idea. Who needs a 6 inch 4k screen...pointless.

USB  C is standardized and universal, and is designed to replace USB in the long term
