The Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Galaxy Note 5 is expected to deliver a host of new features, including a faster charging time (full charge within 90 minutes), advanced video options such as video collage and 4K video recording, and a slimmer, sleeker design.
Designed with the “most advanced” S Pen on the market and next-level wireless charging technology, the Galaxy Note5 is set to raise productivity to new heights, while the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus delivers the ultimate multimedia experience.
Ooredoo, an official partner of Samsung phones in Qatar, said the new devices are available now in Qatar at Ooredoo shops and on its online store, the Ooredoo eShop.
Customers looking to purchase a Samsung Galaxy Note5 or a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus can check Vodafone’s eShop through www.vodafone.qa/note5 to get updates on the sales of the phablets.
To take advantage of the company’s 4G+ network, Ooredoo said it is offering a free 15GB data card to all customers who purchase one of the devices.
“This is the latest in a surge of device launches for Ooredoo in 2015, as we continue to expand our portfolio and offer a range of devices that excel using Ooredoo’s SuperNet,” the telecom network said.
According to Vodafone, the company will be offering customers its Vodafone Advantage, which translates to “fantastic data offers, worry-free data transfer, and unmatched trade up services with the purchase of Galaxy Note5 and Samsung S6 Edge Plus.”
“For data, Vodafone postpaid customers will get 15GB of free data per month for three months, while Vodafone prepaid customers will get 6GB of free data for three months.
For data transfer, Vodafone will assist all customers to transfer their contacts, videos, and photos from their old phone to their new phablet for free through Vodafone Red Box. Furthermore, customers trading their old handsets with a new Galaxy Note5 or Galaxy S6 Edge Plus will enjoy great value for their old phone and receive an instant discount,” Vodafone said.
With a 5.7” screen, the Galaxy Note5 is the latest addition to a category that Samsung pioneered in 2011 with the original Galaxy Note, the large-screen phone. On the new Note, the large Quad HD Super Amoled screen is the window to an unparalleled set of productivity tools such as “SideSync,” along with much refined S Pen capabilities to better serve the major multitasker.
According to Vodafone, it is also preparing to launch the devices at its retail stores in Villaggio Mall, Landmark Mall, City Center Mall, Lulu, Msheireb, Al Nasr, Al-Gharrafah, Al Fourusiyah, Al Wakrah, The Pearl, Ezdan Mall, Al Shafi, and Old Airport.
