    Is it really a good idea to buy Samsung Galaxy note 5, 2015 flagship model, in 2017? I am interested in S pen and related functionality. Though Note 5 is a superb device, but it doesn't have expandable memory, non removable battery, no IP certified protection.
    Or should I buy LG Stylus 2 Plus, which offers the same stylus functionalities and has decent specs compared to Note 5 and comes in half the price of Note 5 with removable battery, dual SIM and expandable memory.
    What are the cons Note 5 has regarding non expandable memory? How is memory management of note 5, out of 4gb ram normally how much is used in day to day working?
    Will Note 5 get Nougat update and follow on Android versions update in coming years?

        Thanks bro, as of now I won't buy the note 5, because there are too compromises that have to be made and still I won't be satisfied... Maybe, in future I will think about it if the price falls, I'll dump jio and survive on a single sim... And there are Otg pendrives to serve the purpose as well... I was only concerned because there's no service centre nearby and it would be a real pain to get it repaired... Anyways thanks bro...

          for your needs that is 64gb, dual sim, note 5, below 40k is impossible in my opinion. also note 5 64gb+dual sim is nowhere available online and is around 53k according to samsung plaza. so you are in a deadlock state. btw op3 is not a bad device u should keep it.

Sharing movies and stuffs would always be a problem...

            Even if the fall upto 4k, then it will be fine for me, because it would be difficult for me to manage 42k, 38k I can manage...

              Please some one who use note 5 answer me i want to buy this kind phone only to use pen stylus because i want use pen for writting and note and use it for porogram like fotoshop.I buy this phone or buy tab a 10.1tablet or buy a windows tablet ?please some one guide me

                also regarding touchwiz(new one) it is still not my favourite ui but those Note series specific apps leans me towards it. my next device will be a note 8 for use but not s8/s7 simply because i need the note specific apps.
                lastly regarding price. after the s6 launch samsung said that its price won't be as volatile as it used to be earlier. you might have seen prices not dipping as it used to like in case of s4,s5,note4. so don't be very optimistic and don't think prices would drop by 7k or 8k for s7/s7 edge. c4etech made a video on samsung pricing. watch it you will understand better what i am saying. also s7 and note 5 are 2 different series that cater to different audiences don't mix them.

It has so many useful features, that I still miss to date.. I have tried, stock android, Cyanogen, MIUI but none had the charm of the touchwiz... There are phones like the C9 pro, even the A9 pro's pricing slashed down to 29k... But still I don't want to buy those... Today a flagship, everyday a flagship, that's how it goes...

                    But I'm still worried about the storage, considering that I've almost 36gb already filled and that is after removing all the unnecessary things, I doubt that will I be able to manage with 32gb...

                    That's the thing bro... This would be my first flagship class phone, I've had much difficulty in managing the amount, so considering the fact that I switch phones in every 9-10 months, I don't want to suffer huge loss... So, I was waiting for the prices to drop...

                    Bro the s7 is already available for 42k... I guess it would easily go below the 40k...

                        the camera is very very good(actually op3 has a very average camera) and the internal storage is very fast.
                        the dual sim variant is officially launched in India. samsung plaza stores have them displayed. even samsung official website and e-store has the dual sim variant displayed.
                        you are actually right in saying that the price will reduce after s8 launch but exactly on which date will it reduce is hard to be predicted. 1 day after s8 launch or 1 month after s8 launch. however you can wait for cashback that samsung offers from time to time. i got my note 5 during 10% cashback period. s7 prices will not fall by huge margins. no way it will get below 40k.

                              Bro, the thing again is that I can only manage 37k maximum ( depends on the selling price of op3), and I want atleast two sims or a sim and sd card... I doubt that the dual sim version of note 5 is launched in INDIA...

                              The thing is I'm satisfied with op3 but I do not want to take a risk because because if anything goes wrong with this device it will be real pain to get it fixed...

                              Bro, shall I wait for the S8 to launch? Will it have an impact on the pricing of the note 5? Because anyway, I'm doubtful regarding the storage too, because currently I have about 36 gb used... If the pricing falls then I can even think about the S7?

                                    Shhzd amar, 01 Mar 2017Hey bro, I have the oneplus 3 as of now, should I buy the n... morebro to put it straight op3 has better raw performance, damn fast charging and lil bit better memory management and there is no denying that. buying note 5 depends totally upon your needs. first ask yourself if you are going to use the s-pen. my first need for the note device is s-pen as i use it so often that my spen has discolored. now if you have a very good headphone something like audiotechnica m50x then due to dedicated wolfson dac note5 is far better than op3. similarly there are others things like camera, fast storage, screen quality, a plethora of accessories, larger screen estate that makes note 5 a good buy. coming to your question on service centers, samsung has dedicated service centers almost everywhere. my city has 2 samsung service centers and one plus has none(nearest one is 250km far in kolkata). this 'having service center in the city' thing also affects reselling your device in future on OLX..etc. motherboard or screen replacement takes 2-3 months in case of one plus and in case of samsung it may be 7-10days. i would say note 5 and op3 are similar in terms of performance but i would choose note 5 anyday especially due to spen,camera,screen and audio. note 5 has a dual sim variant and it will cost you more(around 40k). you can buy note 5 if you want but still it is a hard choice coz op3 is a very good device for the price.
