But yes Note5 is the most powerfull and advanced smartphone one can get rightnow.i.e the prices are also not going down soon for note5 the way it was use to go down for the previous Note series models. Samsung really upped the smartphone game with G S6 Edge + & Note5.

OMG, Note 4 even more useful than ever!
With removable battery, infrared remote, memory expansion and an S Pen storage that doesn't have a design flaw. Samsung should start producing more Note 4 now!
Save that $1000 from being spent on a downgrade! Keep your Note 4!

But yes i understand there is very long time to wait.
But if u are not on budget and if u can get ur Note4 sold for a good price then i guess u wud be able to upgrade to note5 soon.

Did u buy Note5?
If not &
if u r still looking... moreOkay let me just tell you this about the z5premium....
Snap dragon 810 is NOT cheap in fact I think it's the best processor out their...only needs to control heating
Sony didn't use "super amoled" on their screens because they would no longer be water proof and it's 4k display with 808ppi
32GB is enough for MANY peole. And unlike Samsung, it has a sdcard slot
It has more fluid interface unlike Samsung overly heavy skinned "touchwiz"
You really need to get your facts straight

Samsung could have easily avoided this by offering everyone 64GB and 128GB phones (or SD) instead of offering 32GB to the majority of customers. If these options were available then i would agree that the GN5 is the best available.

AnonD-100398, 06 Dec 2015Note5 is such a huge sucess even without ur sh*tty removeable battery and ur sh*tty card slot ROFL..Resorting to rude words tells us you can't argue your points more eloquently. There's just so little things you can boast about the NotePOINT5. Note 4 just more worth it than this half-baked thing that does less. $1000 spent on a downgrade with the Note.5.

Anonymous, 06 Dec 2015I have purchased Note 5 almost 2 months back... The fast wire charging is sensitive, not sturd... moreFast wireless charging is for short-term. Worst thing with sealed battery as it puts more stress to the battery, thereby softening the cycle count. Would be OK for removable type, as you can change or cycle batteries yourself.
I've been using my Note 3 for 2 years exactly this month without having to go to a service center. I'm on the 2nd set of 3-batteries, where the first set gave in to deterioration with only 60% capacity from new after 18 months. My cycling of the batteries even prevents me from wearing out the micro USB 3.0 port. There's no need to go on a NUMBER of times to a service center because there's a problem with that SEALED battery.
And here it is - the waiting game because they don't have the parts. Why are some people insisting on going to service centers for batteries? Why do we want to inherit the problems of iPhone users with that sealed battery? So, this is the "modern" thing? Removable batteries archaic?
Me, I'm good and now waiting for my 2 sets of double-capacity batteries (6400 mAh) orders. Soon I don't have to change or charge the battery during the day with heavy use. Beats carrying the charger/charging pad/powerbank and plug in 2-4 hours daily for my heavy needs.
Again, Samsung could go a make double-battery versions for future models than regular thin ones, if they're all out for sealed batteries.

AnonD-183089, 06 Dec 2015Note 4Ohh! I C Note4 is still a great device.
Did u buy Note5?
If not &
if u r still looking forward to buy a new flagship smartphone rightnow & also if u really dont want to wait for long,then find the best deal and go for note5
or else If u are looking out for something else i mean apart from samsung then...
The 2nd best flagship Smartphone rightnow is Z5P .
Its good but it has lots of cost cuttings in device hardware department IMO it is not at all worth the VERY high price Sony is asking for at the moment ..i mean Sony is not giving NO 64GB inbuilt memory,NO OIS,NO 4gb RAM, Cheap sd810 SOC, No Super Amoled screen either
Moreover to hide that VERY high price sony has also kept the preorder offer where in they were giving a costly bluetooth headphones as a bundle preoder offer cause they knew that no one wud pay that kind of very high amount for a device made with lots of harware cost cuttings & that is why asap the preoder offer was over sony reduced the price for Z5P .
But this did not happen with Note5 asap the preorder offer (wherein ppl got wireless charger and 1 year screen replacement offer) was over it was still at the same preoder price for atleast a month and half . I know that at the moment the prices for note5 has also gone down a little, but its prices did not go down asap after the preorder offer was over for note5.
The 3rd Best flagship Smartphone is the one for ppl who are on budget but still want a flagship kind of device they can get the MS Lumia 950XL but only if they r ok with windows 10.
but again it is also a device which also has hardware made with huge cost cuttings by MS ,it also has only 32gb internal memory,only 3gb ram (i know 32gb Memory and 3gb ram is more than enough for a average user but rightnow i am just plainly compairing it to Note5)
(lumia 950XL also has no metal built i mean al the construction is pure plastic built & this one i hate the most) &
even MS knows that no wud buy there Lumia 950 XL for a price they are asking right now that is why they are also bundling there windows Continuum Dock worth $100 with the smartphone.& i guess they will also follow Sony's footsteps means asap this preoder offer will be over MS will stop giving Continuum Dock and will reduce the 950 XL prices asap by almost $90 to $100 .
So basically it all depends on at what price ur are buying what.LOL.
I mean out of these any smartphones can turn up to be best but everything is allmost depending on what price u get them for.
BTW this becoming a trend for lots OEM's now a days.
& Sorry for this long essay Lol . Actually i just did not realise when this comment became so huge while writing it.LoL

Fair warning to those thinking of getting this - totally half-baked with fragile back which breaks in one drop. LESS features than the past Galaxy Notes. Only comes in 32 GB in most countries with NO memory expansion. They took out the useful infrared remote control function. S Pen silo storage design is flawed which makes the pen stuck and destroys the pen detection if put in backwards.

I have purchased Note 5 almost 2 months back... The fast wire charging is sensitive, not sturdy as older versions (used nite 2 for the last 2 years) and needed repair. It's covered under warranty but the service centres in noida are not equipped to handle its repair- the parts are not available for 2 weeks and they are quite xpensive if technically not under warranty. Being an old Samsung user, I would rare Note 5 pretty low on maintenance support and cost of repairs.
