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...

    Tucking Fypo, 02 Mar 2017see i would recommend buying good headphones if you have fl... moreBro, I'm on a tight budget, maybe later I'll look for a decent audio gear(I just broke my bluedio headphones), because my samsung earphones are serving the purpose, its the op3 which has a bad quality headphone jack...

    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...

      AnonD-291887, 02 Mar 2017Hi fypo, agree with you, can u guide me plz which should I ... morei have both note 4 and note 5 with me. note 4 users keep on arguing about non removable battery and expandable storage. expandable storage i agree is subjective. but my last 4 phones have been non expandable storages and i have been totally dependent on streaming everything and can live my life happily. but if you still keep lot of files offline then get 64gb note 5. regarding removable battery, it is a dying feature. remember the lg v20 which was always talking about removable battery has moved to a sealed one with lg g6. now even if you consider expandable storage and removable battery as 2 great features still nothing beats the fact that the soc is quite old and slow and on top of that the old laggy touchwiz is just pathetic. my note 4 camera has focus issues now and it has been a big issue with many note 4 devices around the world. many note 4 users say it is the best note device but no one says it is quite slow and pathetic to use nowadays. neither it receives new updates nor it can handle new updates. marshmallow made my note 4 crap. get note 5 32gb only if you agree to stream music,photos,docs else go for 64gb but never go for note 4 today.

        Shhzd amar, 02 Mar 2017I previously had a note 3, I didn't use the spen much, but ... moresee i would recommend buying good headphones if you have flagship phone. my note 5 with poweramp beta app with hi-res output enabled and FLAC music files and audio technica m50x sounds godly. good audio hardware, good headphones and good music files will make you just wow!!!
        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.

              No, I don't have any headphones, I have samsung earphones, which sound very tinny with op3...

              Is the camera an improvement? Fast storage?

              Yes bro, the main concern is about the service aspects, because here service centre is about 200 kms...

              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?

                Note 5 not supported mcard, non removable battery, 5.7 inch screen with 3000 mah battery is good enough???
                Guide me which should I buy, thanks in advance...

                    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.

                      Note 5 is a very good phone, compare to other brand on same price.

I'm pretty much satisfied with the performance of the op3 but just for the sake, that there's no service centre, I'm a bit doubtful about this device...

                        I'm getting the note 5 on amazon for 35k the 32gb variant... Is this phone, marginally better or similar to the op3? Also, does the note 5 has a dual sim version?

                                      1. switch on data roaming in mobile networks.
                                      2. change access point name(APN) to appropriate values according to ur network provider.
                                      3. try booting the phone in safe mode and then check once again (search google to know how to boot in safe mode). if you are able to connect without any problems then the issue could be caused by an app. find out what app this is and uninstall it.
                                      4. sadly if nothing helps then do a hard reset.
