TheNeighbor, 27 Sep 2015Because it has less features, more fragile, and flawed S Pen silo design.Why I shouldn't listen to TheNeighbor? Because he has less to talk about, more annoyance and flawed opinion. Note5 still the best.

    Seeing that sammy abandoned microsd slot and waterproofing that the previous note had, I can't see this device as evolution. Yeah it's faster and has a better camera but whatever. It's lost it's durability and the microsd slot.. so thanks but samsung.. go and see If I'm coming.

        skendy87, 27 Sep 2015The same design from 3 generations I'm not a fan of the GN5 but its nothing like GN3 or even the GN4... what do you expect, a circular, triangle or square shape?? Maybe you think that the screen size should blindly increase each year? 5.7" is a sweet spot to remain pocketable.

        That said, the storage (max 32GB in Australia) is pathetic. Bring out 128GB (or add a micro SD slot) and i will get it tomorrow.

          I dont know why people buy newer phones lnowing that older ones is mpre practical. I have s4 and never change it for many reasons and the most important one os the display woth respect to torrent movies.. not the note 5 and s5 and s6 esge can beat s4 w.r.t torrent films especislly bluray 720p and 1080p i think newer phones with large screen and large ppi and resolution cant do anything w.r.t to 3rd party apps and stuffs except its display tjese newer ones can do one thing their camera and video recording this is what u can the differece w.r.t display take a 1080p bluray fast and furious fi 1GB and put it on note 5 and 4 and s4 and s5 and s6 i challenge u the s4 beat them all quality so newer ohones and newer display is just a lie grap what u fit ur needs and sry for bad language

                      AnonD-100398, 26 Sep 2015See thing with plastic for me is like this, its a good material ,however it lacks the premium ... moreTempered chemical strenthened glass is clear, slippery, still prone to breakage, fingerprint prone, and has already even been abandoned for rears of iPhones. It's just the ideal material for front capacitive interface for fingers to glide over, and adding MORE glass material at the back is just doubles the chances for breakage - that's why they gave you a free insurance for a year. Yeah, you like waiting for your phone to get fixed. Make sure you drop yours within the year without your plastic casing.

                      Clear plastic acrylic yellows, scratches easily, and become brittle over time - there's nothing good about it if you're trying to impress people. Think clear plastic rulers - they're made of the same material.

                          Jacki, 26 Sep 2015Buy note 4 guys cheaper same spec. Bigger battery n external memory slotNew touchwiz interface is the only reason i would prefer the note5 over note 4 and the galaxy s6 over s5.

                            A tpu case offers nice protection for your device but at the same time dust accumulates in the sides and it might scratch the device. Removing the case, cleaning it and then applying it back to the device is also not a feasible solution. You are increasing the chances of the dust to scratch the sides due to friction. I saw this happen on my friend's galaxy s6.

                            If i go for a hard case, then the case might form scratches on the device while installation.

                            And if i dont use a case at all, i fear i might drop it and cause more damage than mere scratches.... Maybe i have OCD with the phone's design

I'm using a moto g 3rd gen and i still put a case on it since the chrome sides started flaking off on its own. I know it's a budget phone and it doesn't have a good design but once my device starts getting scratches and dings on it, i dont feel like using it. I'm sure many people can relate to this...

                                Why Samsung is offering One time Screen Replacement free with Note 5 & other smartphones like s6 series? They have Gorrilla 3 scratch & impact resistant screen, right ? Or even the gorrilla glass can be broken ?

Specially i love its S.Pen with new features

It's an experiment to see how much market can Samsung get with such less capable features - what MOST iPhone users want.

                                    The Note 3 & 4's backs are really much more grippy - I actually liked how the S5's back felt in the hand. All of these can be placed with metal bumpers, and the backs sides exposed without adding extra thickness. This simply can't be done with the Note.5 at all - one drop, 90% chance it gets a crack.

                                    Really ironic that users just cover that glass most likely, rendering the shiny glass & gold color out of sight, and totaly useless point in the design.

                                        It makes LESS sense to put glass at the rear, increasing breakage by another 100% - really pushing the need for any protective casing. So much for it being so thin and shiny glass. This is what underpowered users want.
