Anonymous, 07 Sep 2015This is by far the most neutral review of Note5 I have read... moreOf course, I can't take a side, Notes are good. What should I do?
Note 5 in design and performance is incredible.
Note 4 or Note Edge in feature and performance are good.

I want Note 5, but I'm afraid of the battery won't last in 1 year, and I shattered it's glass.
I want Note 4 or Note Edge, but I want Note 5 performance.

Choose Note 5 but have high risk to break it.
or Play safe with Note 4 but the performance is not as high as Note 5.

I feel betrayed if I choose Note 4, because I can get Note 5 with better performance (in mind)
But, if I choose Note 5, I'm afraid It won't take long time before I break it's glass, the battery or someone play a joke with it's spen. Not only that, I will lose IR Blaster, Micro SD, Edge (Note Edge in mind).

Too many horror in Note 5, it's like samsung shake a hand with the virgin ghost.
Come on, I need a safety, when I ride a roller coaster, I want a belt or any other safety so I can play with fun without a worry to drop from it. Note 5 is like roller coaster, it's fast, but the safety is up to myself, whether I hold the belt or not will decide my fate while riding it/ roller coaster. The Hell.

If Note 5 just like Note 4/ Note Edge (features) but with higher specification, it will easy to choose. Note 5 is higher in specification and more beautiful indeed, but less features and not safe to have it.

I like features, so I will choose Note Edge (Removable Battery, IR Blaster, Edge, Micro SD). I know I will feel betrayed after choose it. But I can't do anything. There is no game or apk that need 4GB of RAM. So, I assume 3GB of RAM in Note Edge is enough. :(

Note Edge is slower, but I like it's feature. Micro SD is slow but what I need is capacity, not the speed. I can sacrifice few second. I will take that.

"You can race with your car as fast as you want, but be careful. I prefer slow and safe."

How about lag? "If you move fast you can't see everything that you pass, I move very slow so I see everything."
"I want to get there as fast as possible, but I don't want to lose the scenery." the feature.

        TheNeighbor, 07 Sep 2015Anything gold and anything with the word "premium"... moreYou are right, I can't see the truth because of the gold and premium fuzzy that are caused by note 5.

        I think Note 4 and Note Edge is the last best smartphone. You know, many manufacturer use internal battery. In my point of view, internal battery is not good for any devices. Recently, my watch need a battery replacement. few days ago, I should replace my remote battery. When I see the truth about devices, the first that it need is the power or battery.

        I know Note 5 battery is good, samsung set its mind that Note 5 will have wireless charging, so I'm sure the battery is good. But, you know 4 or more battery's of Note 4 or Note Edge Vs 1 Battery of Note 5. Which one will win?

        When you buy Note 4 or Note Edge you can buy the battery as much as you want. But when you buy Note 5, your battery is inside it. If you want to use Note 5 for long term (more than 1 or 2 years) you surely have to service it's battery. The problem will comes when there are no service for it's battery after years and need a time in service. I know new samsung pay and fingerprint scanner is damn good. But, I'm not always use my money anytime with samsung pay, so I can live without samsung pay. not only that, Note 4 and Note Edge is the best smartphone with many feature.

        I'm sure, many manufacturer will remove Micro SD and Removable Battery, that's why Note 4 and Note Edge is the last devices with it.

        Better performance of Note 5 can't kill the most featured device with removable battery for it's power safety and Micro SD of Note 4.

        Note 5 can do the cloud, But Note 4 can do that too.
        If you got 100GB+32GB on the cloud and internal storage, Note 4 can do 100GB+32GB+128GB as cloud, internal, external storage.
        You can carry power bank for your Note 5, but Note 4 can carry power bank too and Note 4 can swap it's battery. I'm pretty sure there are no games or app that need 4GB of RAM for it's minimum system requirement. In PC, YES, there are game that need 4GB of RAM, but for smartphone, I'm sure, NO. I hear that 4K video that note 5 can do, is split each 8 minutes or 4GB of storage for each. Summary, Note 5 storage or UFS 2.0 work just like Micro SD (Can't save more than 4GB) but faster. I'm stupid to think that Note 5 storage work like internal hard disk drive (can save more than 4GB in single file).

        The processing speed in note 5 is good, I agree, but I can wait few seconds in processing if I will get Micro SD, and Removable Battery. Removable battery is a must for it's degradation. Every battery degrade over time, whatever it's type, Li-Ion, Li-Po are same.

                    I lamented the fact that the expandable memory is gone when the Note5 was announced. Then I saw it in the flesh in Gold Platinum... Just stunning, I had to have it. Now that I've had it for a few days it is much better than I expected, I absolutely LOVE IT. Specs are one thing, using it is another

                      lol,you guys don't have enough knowledge yet interms of gadgets.
                      why? because you don't know why if the phone has above 16GB built in memory don't have any SD card slot.
                      that's why apple don't have any SD card slot in their phone because they don't want a third party running in their device..that's Samsung company working on it.they slow created a phone that don't have any SD card slot.so that the device will smoothly and fast..because in the future all phones don't have any SD card slow.
                      just sayi'n this try to read more articles to gather more knowledge. and don't get your opinon from other's opinion..

Like I said, I don't have to carry aroun... moreagreed I honestly can't figure out why on their premium device they'd drop sd support and not offer 128gb option.. Main reason why I will no longer be buying a note.. Ive given up on Samsung but I'm hopeful that other manufacturers developers realize that consumers need offline capacity and capability too

                            Yeh man even i have a thing for gold color :) yes if ur data consumption is not more 32 gb is also enough .my data consumption is also not too much but not too less as well so 64gb wud b the best option for me.
                            As far as xperia z5 is concered i may not go for it cause its too much to sacrifice for waterproof and dust proofing .
                            1) NO hardware OIS
                            2) NO DUAL tone flash light.
                            3) No 5.7" screen
                            4) Huge Bezels
                            5) SD 810 has lots of confusions on overheating.
                            6) Screen is No super AMOLED.

                            But i have to admit i just felt in love with the XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM GOLD color model.it seriously looks premium ( more like a gold brick) :)

                                    AnonD-139514, 06 Sep 2015Bro no offense but i think u degraded as any new phone will... moreActually my previous phone was LG G4 which was another beast i must say but i found worst thing in it is its poor battery life which drains fast and charge very slow ... & it also got heating issue specially in calling like , viber , skype , whtsapp etc

                                    But it was i must say still best effort from LG with only these issues i mentioned ... Specially its camera was its edge and far better then Samsung S6 Or previous phones & i love its selfie camera , Which delivers super shots in excellent quality even in low light also

                                    On other hand Note 5 Duos Is an awesome monster with no Lag or heating issue or any thing else ,,, Im using it in Gold color and i found it dam attractive then White or black color ... Specially from back in Gold color N5 look like a Gold biscuit ... Yes i admit it have a worst memory problem just 32 GB With no extra card slot etc but i think its enough for me as i don't like to keep load of games with big size in it ... My Normal use is just social media + Camera + Calling etc
                                    & Specially i love to use it with its stick which seems very enhanced from previous note series

                                    I am Also waiting for Z5 Premium from Sony i heard it will beat & Drop Samsung market , Let's see ,,,, But So Far Note 5 is just a Master peace with everything in it you need expect Big Memory

                                        yeh i know lg g4 got the 8mp front camera which is bound to be a bit better than the 5mp front camera on the note5 but its still 1 of the best front camera in buisness.However apart from that lg g4 does not stand any chance in front of NOTE5.
