          I have a Samsung note edge and samsung note 3. I see nothing new in Note 5 that worth aquireing. It would have been a different case had it being; 1. The Camera was upgraded, Memory card compatibility, and removable battery. I'll wait for Note 6.

            ithehappy, 14 Aug 2015And what is it that you have moved to? An LG I suppose? Eve... more The G4 is as close to vanilla Android as you can get on a flagship. I don't know what you're talking about.

              people have so many concerns . Seriously , the finger print magnet rear glass panel is a deal breaker for me :( .

              I saw it on in the shop today , and honestly they should've kept it plastic/brush metal rear panel . The back was filled with so much sumdge/print I was like eeeeeww :P .

              using note seriers since note 2 .

                    No waterproof
                    No 21 mp camera
                    No new design
                    No ir blaster
                    No mhl3.0 or usb3.1
                    No dts or atmos or even 384bitrate support.
                    Missing sd card and removable battery
                    Why there is no innovation? refinement is good but what i see is samsung is shifting towards apple and apple is shifting towards samsung..

I love my 18month old note 3,the spen ive never used.took it out on day of delivery just to have a look at it ive never seen it since.its nicely tucked away where i dont see it.got the phone for the specs at the time.and screen size for watching my 82 full length movies I got installed.note 5 offers nothing only to Samsung's bank balance.note 5 is just an expensive image thing.as in (I GOT ONE AND HAVN'T)

                                No full physical qwerty, so, meh.
                                One set of parenthesis might be good for businessmen, but not for serious writers or ICT persons. But otherwise it could be tempting.
                                Oh, how I miss the Casio and Psion times when they managed to cram 80+ physical buttons which were usually double or triple functionally overloaded. I suppose an accessory qwerty is fine, but at least make it in landscape form.

                                      Come on Samsung, you need these two features if you want your phablets to be considered "flasghip" !
                                      Samsuns better release versions with removable batteries and micro SD port !

                                        samsung is doing those negative anti-consumer behaviour because they know for sure galaxy note series have no competitors. you really need to use a gn phone to understand my assertion. however the only competitors to gn5 are gn4/3 without any bias if only you understand what multitasking is. but i hate samsung for their poor customer care attitude, up till now they are yet to send kitkat update to my gn10.1 2014 edition of tab because am an african. this is an area where 🍎 apple is leading by far.... we are waiting for microsoft flagship lumia phone or apple 🍎 phone with digital pen and that will end our sufferings. that time will come soonest. until then, samsung will surely rule. many still think digital pen is for children 🚸 but they are missing so much by buying expensive 📱 that does noting different from cheap mid range 📱. term it heresy, but factual.
