Samsung is hoping that by releasing the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and the Note 5, it will attract more users and become more dominant in the smartphone arena.

The G4 is this year's flagship device from LG, but unlike other premium phablets, it does not have any metal on its body and instead relies entirely on plastic.

As for the back panel, the default version is made of polycarbonate which comes in gray, gold and ceramic white. But for users who prefer a different back panel, there are also versions made of leather that come in a wide range of natural colors.
