Samsung Galaxy Note5 - user opinions and reviews

This phone would be better if it had a micro sd-card slot. Primary reason is to switch cards around, some to hold music, business, studies, movies etc. Micro sd-cards can still be used with the device via a wireless usb, this means cutting off your wifi connection to use it, this can be very annoying. This is my biggest annoyance with the phone specs.
I do like it has include BT 4.2, the additional security it brings is good. Additional ability to write on pdf forms is good, the incorporation of the stylus and professional pdf software merging together is an important feature for any business person. The screen off recording notes is the best upgrade feature of the phone, this really makes the phone.

AnonD-430264, 05 Sep 2015Ridiculous. So, you need to carry around 10,000+ songs on your phone? Come on!
Plus over 2,... moreLike you don't need 1TB for your laptop? It's not like I'm going to try to consume then in a day. They're there for those times if like to watch or listen to something, and I can cast it on to the TV. I'd there something wrong with that, especially if you're traveling hotel to hotel?
Ridiculous? I have over 800GB of media spread over 2 HDDs. I'm only carrying ones if prefer on my phone and recent downloads. I'm not even counting on the years worth of media on optical DVD disks. And it's possible with today's technology.
It's like telling us that it's ridiculous to carry 2GB on your phone a decade ago. Well in 5 years or so, it won't be ridiculous to be carrying 2TB on your phone.

That's where everything is heading. Operating systems like Windows, OS X, etc.. are going to be run off cloud servers.
Get used to it. These multi-billion dollar companies didn't get there by reading comments of disgruntled comment posts on review sites.

[deleted post]you can wait for another 10 years, Samsung will no insert a card slot, they care only for profit, you'll have to pay a huge difference between 32 and 64 GB, and this additional distinction paying samsung, and thus different, would be nice to put cheap memory cards

Note 5 not yet launched in my region (India), and when it will launch it will only come with 32gb version. So basically note5 64gb is still more than a month or 2 away to be available in India. This is really suicidal for Samsung. By that time apple, Lg, Sony will all have better devices on the market, namely iPhone 6S, LG nexus and Z5 Premium

Not even going to call you a media hoarder, just a troll.
Don't like the Note 5? Go buy something else. Or stick with your current phone. I can do anything I'd ever need on the new Note on the road. You're just really stretching to make an invalid point.

AnonD-431572, 04 Sep 2015Too many flaws in Note 5, but I find something interesting at this and few other device samsun... morehi Han Yi Soo, the long story is a great explanation! thank you :) i was a note fans , i had ever used Note 2 (only for six months) then i changed it to Note 3 (used it for 18 months) and this year i decided to change my phone to iphone 6 (early 2015, first time using iOs) because i thought that samsung didn't give something new (i really didn't envy on everybody's Note 4), but when they launched the fifth Note, i was really amazed that they're brave enough to bring a non-removable battery and no card slot available on their new Note generation (which a lot of people will definitely complain about it) and it made me believe that samsung is moving on to the next level ,and i already pre-ordered it and i'll still keeping my iphone because iOs kinda made me love them, and i really kinda hate sammy for their update on Tab S, made it works slower than before (kitkat) :(

AnonD-432899, 05 Sep 2015i always use it,even when it charging...and it also always overheat,but it aint affect the batteryThat's nice, but is it just a dumb phone? It doesn't matter - batteries have limited life cycles. My old Sonyerricson J220's battery stopped working, and had to buy a new battery for it in its 2nd year of use.

Ah, what a difference a 128GB micro SD card makes with a 32GB smartphone - I just added some 57 episodes of my favorite TV show to be consumed over the next couple of months as background while working. I've also loaded 40GB+ of my entire music collection, again to be listened to while commuting or just background while working.
Yeah, you can actually carry more with a wireless portable HDD, but I only carry my phone with that spacious 119GB actual user accessed out of that 128GB micro SD card.

Many of us can figure that out without being told. If you can think of the idea so can they. So can I. Samsung engineer are way smarter than you. They already know more about battery more than you do. They have Master and PhD. They know more about battery technology. Even more than battery doctor website. You think they don't do proper research? They are as enthusiatic as you do. They have a lot of brain power there. If you so smart why don't you work in a lab and build your own battery and win a noble prize.

When you drop the Note.5 - the back GLASS WILL 90% shatter. And you're worried about the battery getting off? Nice logic there. Really nice thinking you got.
Yes, at least the battery didn't fall out - it's premium. Shattered glass, but it's premium.
The battery will eventually bulge inside, yet it's OK - it's uni-bodied and its premium. It's will be in danger of exploding when flexed in that state, but hey - it's premium. It doesn't have an IR remote control - but it's premium. Easily destroy your S Pen sensor when you stick it in the wrong way, but hey - it's PREMIUM. No memory expansion with only internal 32GB version in MOST regions of the World, but hey - it's PREMIUM!!!

Even with a Lithium Polymer battery that is sealed within the Note.5, it's going to expand if you'll not change it after 300 to 500 cycles. Basically, current battery technology has not changed for the last 20 years. Who cares, right?
Have a look with what happened with an iPhone 3G in 2011:
http://youtu.be/JFwn0MJTw6A
That's like after 2 years he's used that iPhone.
This is why it's a good idea with a removable battery so that you can inspect that battery from bulging from time to time. The expansion of the battery is bound to happen, and when that gets puntures, it can violently exploded with high heat. Imagine that happening in your pocket or while making a call next to your ear...
I cycle 3 new batteries for my Note 3, and bought my wife 2 new batteries for her Note 2, after signs of slight buldging on the batteries. I change new set every 18 months, so I know my batteries are effcient giving me more than 80% of their charge holds when they were new, and I'm safe from exploding danger.
I don't know why Samsung made the dumb move with sealed batteries, and fast charging actually accelerates their eventual ineffectiveness.
