Samsung Galaxy Note 5: 10 Things Buyers Can Count On

New S Pen & New Software

We still don't know the whole story but it does look like Samsung is planning to upgrade the Galaxy Note 5's S Pen.

Samsung's been teasing the evolution of the S Pen and rumors have pointed to a new and improved S Pen that looks and feels a whole lot like a real pen.  

You can also count on new S Pen software and a new mechanism for the S Pen's holster. Galaxy Note 5 design leaks hint at a new version of the S Pen's Air Command feature and a new spring-loaded S Pen holster that will make it easier to get the stylus out of its slot on the bottom of the phone. 

You can also count on the Galaxy Note 5 running Android 5.1.1 as its base. Android M simply isn't ready for primetime.
