Samsung Galaxy Note5 review: The 5blet

21 August, 2015
As the fourth successor of the product that defined what a phablet should be, Samsung Galaxy Note5 is arguably the most radical release in the product family to date. The newcomer marks a noteworthy departure (no pun intended) from all of its predecessors in terms of both design and available hardware features...

              Dear Suamsung,

              hope my comments will find you well. I'm James live in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I just bought Samsung Galaxy Note5 for few months. and I love it so much.. but unlucky, it doesn't go smooth at all. it's always restart and goes hold while talking. and also gets stuck sometimes. of course, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, there are some service center of Samsung too but they not professional at all. all time I bring my phone to them, they never check to find out what's wrong with it and why it happens?.. they just takes my phone to reset all time or reset software which i have lost all docs or account all time.. I know I can copy or save to my computer.. but how often do I have to.... do I have to have it reset the software all time ?
              Wish to hear from you soon.
              James

                    Facing problem with S Pen right from day of purchase. Notification of detachment comes after 2 to 3 mins. Even Service centres has no remedy for this problem. They are just experimenting with the phone but no success....

                                Samsung!! !!. I always thought that note series is for POWERUSER but i guess im wrong now. Samsung just apply that "no expandable storage, no removable battery" on S or A series. If really need to put metal for note series,make it like note 4.Its is metal but still have the 2 factors that most user need from note series

                                        Gifted myself a HP Spectre 360 laptop. It set me back by AUD 2400, and so my gadget Christmas was pretty much over. Had my note 3 from two Christmases ago still going strong, was not considering the note 5. Then I got to spend a little time with one. Impulse took over; had to get one that day. But some degree of sense kicked in, so researched the best buying options on the net. Result? Instead of settling for the 32 GB Black version, yesterday I got the 64 GB version in Gold Platinum color. And oh... Dual SIM as well! Let's get the obvious out of the way. This device is plain gorgeous. faster than any other phones I've used... ever. Specs are tops, save for the absence of external SD, no IR, etc etc. A nice deal all considered. But what I really love is that the Gear VR started selling here in Oz just last week. And I got myself one of those as well. Works beautifully with the Note 5, which is one of the very few devices compatible with it. The experience is mind boggling. Yes, Virtual Reality is only cottoning on. By next year this time, there would be even more powerful VR stuff available. But, for all the early adopters, and all those who want a mobile VR experience, Note 5 is the phone to get.
