THE Note 5 is really for Note 2 owners and first time galaxy owners looking for BMW standards.

      AnonD-425083, 15 Aug 2015which is the best s6 edge plus or note 5 Actually neither ohone is better than the other you need to pay attention to how they deliver the signatur features, i.e.. not everyone needs a phone with a stylist..why pay for something your not gonna use

        I do not like not having dual sims ability and if the battery malfunctions 2 years from now is Samsung going to replace the battery for free? Although no other phone offers the stylist i could bame a few phones that couls give these phone a nice competitive struggle.

          In my opinion by note 5 samsung took a brave step towards future because these days qith otg i prefer having a flash memory instead of installing a sd card and risk losing all my data if phone is lost and my current 16gb sd card is slow compared to my note4 onboard memory and i ptefer my 32 gb flash with otg cable instead.with fast charging it only takes 45 min to get %75 charge.about speed my old note2 is still capable of any task i throw at it and i think note5 will be a very powerfull device.
          in my experience samsung note series are not meant to be replaced each new generation and i think the real upgrade worth series comes every 2 generation depending on which note you have.so 5 is good for 3 owners and not for 4 iwners.we'd better wait fir note 6 to upgrade right now

                          Samsungs have made two steps back. was the first galaxy S6, (for this step Samsusng reduce the prices now), and second Note5. I think after two months price will be redused also. If they take the third such step, Nokia fate befell them...

                            Note 4 is more beautiful and practical at the same time.
                            The worst thing is that whatever else phone on the market, could NEVER be Note replacement. Every real Note-user knows that very well.
                            Of course if you are on the market only for large screen phone, there are many options.
                            We are mad at Samsung. Samsung hunting for apple-fan-base with Note 5 , completely ignored us- the real Note users.
                            We have no option yet, except of the older Note models. FUS

                                the note 4 is 11months old, and will still be good for the next 2 years as a functioning phone. My note 2 is still perfect after nearly 3 years. Yes a bit slower that the S5 or similar but excellent battery life on 2 gb ram. Lots of apps on the sd card, saving memory of the device. I dont think a no sd option is great. so the note 4 is the next phone for me

                                  Shamsung trying hard to attract iPhone consumers. Too bad it already failed once with the S6, and it'll fail again with the Note 5.

                                  Apple must be laughing so hard right now. Glass back? lol. iPhone 4 and 4s had that. Not to mention it was easier to remove (just remove the 2 screws at the bottom) and have the battery replaced with the 4 and 4S. Even the iPhone 5/5s/5c/6/6+ would be easier to repair. The S6 had the worst repairability according to iFixit.
