Anonymous, 18 Oct 2015Would you choose the Note 4 over the Note 5?A mistake not allowing expandable memory. Taking out removable battery changed my mind about purchasing it.

Anonymous, 18 Oct 2015Would you choose the Note 4 over the Note 5?I'm currently using the Note 3, and passed up the Note 4, because there's little added features that I needed. Now it's time for a new service unit for my renewal which comes "free", I wanted the latest processor, and the Note 5 was suppose to be it - pretty dissapointed with the lesser features and silly fragile back.
I could get the Note 4 anytime, but it'll be a waste to know that I'll be getting something that's already dated tech to be used for another 2 years. Again, I can hold on another year for the Note 6 if I have to, so that "free" device with the service cost I'll be paying for anyway. If it wasn't for the useful S Pen, I'd never bother with the galaxy Note series.
Believe me, I don't want to be stuck with the Note.5 for the next 2 years as it'll be utterly LESS useful, more fragile, only comes in 32GB version where I live, and not waste some $1000+ for importing a 64GB version without a warranty. I'd rather spend my saved up $1000+ on a Surface Pro 4 with warranty.
My complaints here are valid. Some of you lot say you are ok with the fixed battery, are happy carrying your charger/powerbank/charger pad, and also complacent carrying micro USB dongles - you DON'T need to endure such nonsense before. You even say you didn't use the infrared remote capabilities - well, I do.
Bunyip22 and I are very vocal about more value, and NOT less to updated versions of the Galaxy Note. We were believers in not being status quo like iPhone users - underpowered users who use their devices as status symbols, and not as TOOLS as we do. You complain how cheap the plastic backs were? Well, you know that shiny glass back - you'll eventually be spending some $60-$70 more for a PLASTIC case to protect that silly fragile glass. So much for that thin design and shiny gold platinum some of you are banging on. Message to Samsung - I thought the idea for making the next generation devices was to make it better and NOT compromise features.

TheNeighbor, 17 Oct 2015The price for the iPad Pro is out and comes only two versions - 32GB for $700, and 128GB for $... moreBro, first and foremost, Ipad Pro is a Tablet category. Not a phone, so please dont compare these two. If you want to compare, compare another phone to it. Lets take the Iphone for your sake. Iphone has the technology of pre-seperating the amount of ram allocation for each. Have u seen the new ios size?It is, very small. In fact, those who opt for ios cannot customize their phone much. It means, those who go for Iphone are in fact those going for simplicity. Android however, is customizable. Why not try flashing ios rom? u cant right? They are two seperate classes. Its funny how u compare things and how much hatred you have on Samsung. However, the fact is u have put ur dissatisfaction at the wrong place. Send a mail to Samsung regarding how dissapoointed you are..

The note 5 is such a let down fr... moreDowngrade is right word to describe it - no matter how incredibly good looking their advertising is. This is why I call it the Note.5 (Note POINT Five) because I only see it half capable of its predecessors.
It's a failure device, even Samsung knows it's going to be by avoiding selling in EU. They've even sabotaged it by only selling the 32GB version in most countries, and 64GB is very limited.
This product doesn't make sense with no removable battery, no memory expansion, no infrared remote, and it has the most fragile glass back. Samsung f***ed it up real good just to attract bling hipsters who say it had great build but only to put plastic cover to protect it. Just too pretentious.

Vipers14, 17 Oct 2015I dont quite understand what you want me to explain. I too dont understand why u have so much ... moreThe price for the iPad Pro is out and comes only two versions - 32GB for $700, and 128GB for $900. Not included are the $99 "Pencil", and $160 keyboard cover. I know something else that works with a Pen that has an eraser end, runs a full OS around that price range, 4/8/16GB RAM and actually comes with the digitizer Pen.
i-fans take pride how they only need 512mb/1GB RAM - and now no complaints with 2/4GB RAM. No need for such RAM? Good that they finally put out an official stylus for drawing.
I'm not a Samsung hater. I don't like how they made the Note.5 less with features and illogical fragile glass back. This was suppose to be my service plan upgrade unit.

What they should have included is
6 inch screen
IP protection
4500 mah battery removable
C port
Two way spen
Dual sim
Amazing stereo speakers
64 gb min storage
Sd card slot
I am not going to downgrade from a note 4 to a note 5
