Honestly, Note3 have better call quality and speakers. Samsung had been neglecting 'phone' department since ever. The focus these day is only on the 'smart' features. No one make calls that much anymore anyway unless you are the conservative type. Thats why they are planning to improve the speaker quality in the Galaxy S7 next year because many had complaint about it.

Is that true after using it ?

kevintt, 04 Dec 2015I recently purchased the Galaxy Note 5, and I am going to be honest... Being a previous owner ... moreIt's great for those who weren't using microSD cards, or those who have limited access to internet.
Wait a couple more days, and see a frequency of a hang once a week, as what's my colleague has been complaining. 32 GB is the only version my region is having - that's 26 GB or so of storage.

I recently purchased the Galaxy Note 5, and I am going to be honest... Being a previous owner of both the Note 3 and Note 4, this new device have yet to show any signs of lag, poor battery life and and performance issues. While I still have great respect for the previous versions, I must admit that the Note 5 is by far the best phone Samsung have ever made in this series. With all the negative comments about removable battery, lack of Micro SD card etc. Its a compromise I am willing to make. This phone is perfect in every single aspect from design to flawless performance, and I intent to keep it as my daily driver for a very long time.

mrlapa, 04 Dec 2015Owned all previous models of the note. LOVE IT.
WILL NOT GET THIS ONE no microsd. If the new Galaxy Note is perceived as lower than previous models, there's something wrong, right there.
Heavy users with 64 or 128 GB microSD card with previous Galaxy Notes will not settle for the pitiful 32 GB version being sold in MOST countries.
64 GB version is like just adding only a 32 GB of microSD card on top of the 32 GB internal memory for another $150. What did Samsung thought of them to do with their 128 GB microSD card? Utter silliness.
Another missed market is removable battery system, where they could have sold OEM DOUBLE or even TRIPLE extended battery instead of "portable power packs". It's going to thicken the body, but you'll not charge for DAYS for sure, instead of carrying a powerbank all the time.

But both of them are really cool.

Looks greats, great performance, great screen, good camera and battery life.
The only reason i don't have one is that Samsung crippled it by only releasing a 32GB version.... it could be twice as quick, have a pop out SLR camera and 1 week battery life... I (and many others) simply won't get a device that requires constant data and cache management to free up storage.
Will you admit this failing of the GN5 is the question?

It comes in platinum gold - yes, you need to be that person in the room.
It has UFS 2.0 internal memory that's mostly only 32 GB in most countries.
You can brag it has 4gb RAM.
Nothing follows.

Barking dogs seldom bite, most of us have stopped insisted sd card slot or fixed battery complaints. This is maximum we can agitate. Now everybody will never ever talk about it again. 32gb is more than enough, keeping in view to change within a year, loss of 50% and add another 50% for new model, we lose our total investment. All going to their Kitty!

I personally would rate the note 5 based on users' preference. I personally would consider the note 4 no different from the note 5 unless we compare and contrast the chip set. However, the note 4 is more adjustable than the note 5 considering the memory expansion for those who do heavy activities with their handset. That being said, the note 5 reminds us of an iphone form but with a greater engine running it. Although the note 5 has few treats a little more marketable than the note 4, but to me it is no different from each. The note 4 wins in my view since it is more adjustable than the 5. I am a heavy tech user and the note 5 wouldn't be a fit for me since the memo expansion is limited. Pixel wise, a slight difference. Camera, there is couple of differences. I expected the note 5 to have a superior material, and a waterproof and scratch proof feature. I am surprised that Samsung has not included waterproof, dust, etc features to this brutal beast. If you're going for the note 5, just consider also getting the Iphone 6S Plus.

Marshmallow will bring vanilla android, it will enhance it's ram management and beauty. 80% of Sammy's product s Note plus S series are sold out at 500$ price, this is a perfect strategy to rip customer of earnings, rest if they buy cheaper it becomes outdated, intro of sd card slot and eliminate head phone Jack will revolutionise mobile technology. We can hear with Bluetooth. Its pity in Finland people still using symbian Nokia sets, perfect as fist performance. Only Asian middle eastern are spend thrift. My E72 still in immaculate performance.

Atool35, 03 Dec 2015Powerful device... ignore the troll called TheNeighbor and his stereo-type propaganda.
- Exce... more- Excellent screen - yeah, same resolution as the Note 4.
- Most efficient Exynos SoC, - Nope, colleague complains of hanging, and even Absolute-Allen keeps writing about it.
- Great battery life - Not for long, and actually Note 4 has even a longer battery stamina by 5 hours.
- Way better design than Note 4 - Fragile glass back? S Pen storage flaw with pen getting stuck when wrongly inserted?
- No heating whatsoever - Hahaha, Parag just admitted it had some heating. And no, you can't expect it working without heat happening. It's thermodynamics.
