Note 5 Not Worth The Upgrade (My Opinion)

[GPRS Internet]

The only reason why I got the Note5 was because I was tired of two phones and wanted to go dual Sim, I could have gotten a Note4 dual but just decided to get the Note5 duos instead. (Maybe should have just waited for the Note6 duos)

The Note5 has essentially nothing over the Note4, only thing I can honestly say is the upgraded finger print. If I am to be picky I would even say the Note 4 is somewhat snappier than the Note5, the 5 is by no means laggy but the 4 was quicker to me, I eagerly await Android 6.0 as the 5 should get snappier.

The dual Sim aspect works flawlessly, no complaints there.. I've had my Note4 for a year or so so I've Gotten so use to it in hand to the point where the 5 does not feel as comfortable, the 5 is definitely heavier so maybe that's why. Note4 speaker louder, flashlight is much brighter and a few other things have taken a turn for the worse in the 5.

All and all if you have a Note4 just wait for the Note 6, because honestly the Note5 does not warrant the upgrade...

Thanks for the feedback, we figured as much and haven't followed up the note 5 at all


Question

On the note 4,can you pull the stylus and write a note on the blank screen like the note 5? Maybe with an update? Would help me get a girl # faster, lol

Wireless charger here $8000+ in Samsung store, little cheaper on the street.. not sure about the back.. can check around I guess...

This is why I still have my Trusty Note 4. Note 5 is just pure hype, no substance. Samsung failed miserably. I can bet the Note 6 is going to see a return to all the hardware features that made the Note so popular in the first place.

For the note 4 when you pull the stylus, press the button on the pen then double tap the screen. That will bring up a drawing pad on the lock screen.

Just the fact that the Note 5 has less features than the Note 4 makes me not want it.

people coming from Note 3 will like it though.

Off Topic... S7 has 12Mp cam {T_T}..... Why Samsung keep trying to be like Apple.

Why on earth would they go lower on the camera??? Makes no sense.

Not to mention the lack of an IR sensor in the Note 5.
