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 provide a link for the video...

        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...

            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 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?
