AnonD-383472, 03 Jul 2016They should scrap the ugly tile based interface next Its not a ugly interface. IN FACT its the only operating system out there that was designed by.........graphic designers. The OS is by far the most attractive one on the market currently and has all the functionality of Android and far more functionality then iOS.

        Oh! BlackBerry 10 smartphones have lift to wake.
        Just lift your phone and it wakes up.No double tapping.

          Anonymous, 03 Jul 2016That is not new. My Lumia 630 has that too. It was always t... morelumia 830 too.

            They hesitated to add double-tap? Should just add knock code and problem solved. So much things can be done, like f.ex. something similar to force touch hw/sw ver....should do so even sooner.

                  this is another example of how nokia was way ahead of its time.. Microsoft, the current owner of previous nokia smartphone division is only implementing double tap to wake feature many months after release of its current flagship.

                            If galaxy note 5 has this feature, that is more than super.
