Samsung is scheduled to announce the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, and Gear A on August 13 in New York City. Samsung pushed the event up earlier this year to get jump on its rivals rather than holding the event at IFA like usual. The Galaxy S6 Edge Plus is basically an upgrade to the popular Galaxy S6 Edge, with a larger display and slightly faster internals. Today, information regarding the Galaxy S6 Edge's pricing and release date emerged.

According to SamMobile, insiders have confirmed that the new handset will start at a hefty price tag of 799,99 euro for the 32GB model (or about $880). This is on the heels of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 receiving price cuts to make room for the Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy Note 5. The source also says that the new handset will hit the shelves on August 21, about one week after its official launch.
