We’ve come to expect a lot of things from Samsung’s Galaxy Note series, including absolutely gorgeous displays, cutting-edge hardware and a bunch of annoying, storage-clogging bloatware. We expect much of the same from the upcoming Galaxy Note 5 and new leaked renders posted over at Nowhereelse.fr may give us our first look at Samsung’s newest flagship phablet.

DON’T MISS: We Have Some Bad News About the iPhone 6s

As you can see in the image below, it looks like Samsung has designed the Note 5 to look more like this year’s Galaxy S6 than the traditional Galaxy Note, which shouldn’t be too surprising since the Note series typically follows the design cues of the Galaxy S series.

Interestingly, it doesn’t look like the Note 5 will feature a reversible USB Type-C port, as has been previously hinted at in past rumors. USB Type-C ports, for those of you who don’t know, are better than traditional USB ports because you can use them for a lot more — the new MacBook’s USB 3.1 port, for instance, delivers the device’s power, USB data transfer, HDMI and VGA capabilities.

Other rumored specs for the device include a giant 5.9-inch 2K Super AMOLED display and a 4,100mAh battery. Samsung is expected to reveal the Galaxy Note 5 at this year’s IFA in Berlin in September, right around the time Apple will likely unveil its new iPhone 6s Plus phablet.
