Picture of purported Galaxy Note 5 testbed leaked online

Phone

We're only a couple of weeks away from the Galaxy Note 5's launch and there's already quite a bit of excitement in the air for Samsung's upcoming flagship handset. Much has already been said and written about this handset but there's no shortage of leaks, the latest comes from the Czech Republic claiming to show a purported real-life testbed of the Galaxy Note 5.

If you're unaware with the concept of a testbed it's actually pretty simple, the testbed has all of the same features and specifications as the final device but doesn't have its design. This is done to ensure that no photos of the actual design leak out ahead of time while the company puts it through its paces both internally and out in the real world. It does slightly resemble the Galaxy Note 4 even though under the hood it may have the Exynos 7422 processor with 4GB RAM and a 5.67-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display and doesn't give off any hints regarding the actual design of the upcoming Note handset.

Samsung is going to announce the Galaxy Note 5 on August 12 and will release it in selected markets across the globe on August 21.
