    Im using note 5. Got an issue when charging it using the fast charging charger,the temp get hotter and hotter. Correct me if im wrong, should i not use it when charging or should i turn it off to avoid such problem. I tried both and the temp back to normal. With that, is it an isolated case or its a problem that the phine has? Hope to hear from you soon coz i still have 3 days to change the unit if it is a factory defect.

              They worded it perfectly.
              The Note5 is just a mixture of the S6 and the Note 4.
              Being a Note 4 owner, I see no reason to upgrade at this time. It's a gorgeous phone, in my opinion, but the new features aren't substantial enough to warrant an upgrade. I'll just wait for the Note 6.

                it seems like a curve front and back is even sexier and more stylish.

                  I said "comes with/"""will come with"""" As in the S6 already does and the Note 5/6edge plus will be.

                  How is it that you and even so many tech sites are so foolish as to just not see one yet and automattically assume that means it doesnt exist?

                      And it's much more advanced Solid state based memory too.

                      And just like the memory Apple and majority of all the World's phone use now....For Apple to use that 256GB...Samsung has to make it. And it will probably be featured in their flagships next year if available.

                      And just lacking an SD slot....and doing it for the fact that the new advanced memory has bandwidth issues and driver/controller compatibility issues with SD slots....Not just to remove it and make money.......
                      And lacking a removable battery....Makes it an iphone that only lacks an SD slot for profits and personal control issues of the CEO's.....

                      And when many many many other phones have lacked one or both of the features even without a reason for either.. Like most HTC and LG flagships even?????
                      That makes sense.

                        "Bottom placed headphones? Samsung did that a couple years before apple"
                        Yet you are claiming that they are copying apple by using a feature that apple is now using which Samsung used first.....
                        And saying this in reply to a comment that specifically points this out......

                        How can you be that much lacking in brain function?

                          At least Apple/iPhone provides 128 GB for their phones, maybe even 256GB next year. But what about Sammy? I remember when they introduced S4 with all bloat where only 16GB storage available and almost half of the storage was used for the system, Sammy suggested end-users to get SD card to compensate the storage. Most of us using Note series have at least 32 or 64 GB SD card, so how we can use a 32 GB or 64 GB phone? Good news is that we have now to type of iPhones: Apple iPhones and Samsung iPhones.

                                Speaker grill ( ear speaker ) makes it look bad actually, if they had a redesign just there, it would have looked much more better.

                                  But when the iPhone moved the headphone jack and changed the design of the iPhone 6, SHamsung also copied it. Too bad their overhyped flagship Galag-xy S6 is a flop. lol.
