After announcing its new Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ in New York City this morning, Samsung promised the next big thing is right around the corner.

The South Korean company was referring to its new Gear S2 smartwatch — its first with a round display — which will get its full reveal on September 3.

Just as expected, Samsung today unveiled a bigger, better version of the Galaxy S6 edge alongside its new Galaxy Note 5. It’s called the Galaxy S6 edge+, and it has a larger screen, more RAM, and a bigger battery.

The all-new Galaxy Note 5 is here, and it’s just one of two new phablets Samsung is launching over the coming weeks. The device brings a gorgeous new design that takes cues from the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, and plenty of nice improvements under the hood.

Samsung’s new phablets aren’t the only thing we got out of its Unpacked event in New York City today; the South Korean company also announced a launch date for its new mobile payments service. Samsung Pay will be coming to take on Apple Pay in the U.S. on September 28.
