I have been using the N920i from 3 days now, and must say this samsung phone is quicker than any other samsung phone i ever used (s6 edge,note 3/4, s1,2,3,4,5).
Battery is better than expected, it easily stands a day of my heavy use.
network reception has improved.
Love the feel of the device, it makes up for no sd slot and replaceable battery (for me atleast)

When I see Note 5 and Note 4, I realize something ridiculous that "This is battle between Performance (Note 5) and Features (Note 4). Also, Premium Glass Design and Old Plastic Design."
Who will win in this battle? Who knows?
But, we know something. We can learn from history. "The Survival Phone Along The Time." From far old and way too old phone, only can be used to call, that is the beginning, a dawn of information. Only rich and choosen people can use it. then from call only is changed to call and text, and then for a game, take a picture, internet, remote, after that for arts (Spens), for security and banking (fingerprint).
The Design and GUI also evolve from no screen heavy binary phone, to the best screen display super amoled "?", light phone, and the edge. the new way to show the infromation in hand is pushing forward to the unknown future is nearly.
We know it, the phone that have many features, best performance, and design. Is the one that will win. Features come first, Performance is second, Design is the last after features and performance has reach its limitation.
There is a time when design take a seat in phone history (Do you remember it? few years ago), not using plastic as it's material design but using something like "Gold". Then this kind of phone is gone after few years, leaving a trademark name. And people run to performance once again seeking a more features.
Performance is our way, and Features is our goal.
The Note 4 will win, and Note 5 will be gone very soon.
Samsung should learn from history, many people are upset with this.
Samsung's at the edge (really edge, not smartphone edge/ joke) of the cliff now.

Hermes Hidayat, 28 Aug 2015Note 5 is better than Note 4.smaller battery but it lasts a few hours longer.
Note 5 has less... moreYou know, it's not about perfect, Note 5 is upgrade but downgrade at the same time.
if you see it carefully, Note 4 has many features than Note 5. I know every part of it is previous version, like Swipe Fingerprint, 32 Bit CPU, Spen, Camera F 2.2. etc.
But, think about it again, the storage at full is 160 GB (Internal+SD), IR is handy, you can remote something that another smartphone can't do, and battery, using swap can make your phone ready in 1 minutes, and more battery it's mean your phone can live much more longer than other. If your Note 5 battery didn't operate properly, then you should wait few days or weeks to get replacement battery. And again Spen Note 5 can ruin your smartphone if you place it in reverse position accidentally, you don't need it to be "clicked" on there. About glass design if it slipped out from your hand it will be cracked, like I said, it's upgrade but downgrade at the same time.

32Gb is nothing in todays world. And u get max 24gb user available.
Today games are as large as 1 to 2 gb...
Peopl put gbs of music movies and videos...spl people who travel alot and use it for business...by all this phone memory will be full then how to click pics and record 4k video ? Today asus company is launching 128gb inbuilt phones soo why cant Samsung. Samsung just wants to make money like apple...but they forget now days people have lot of options.. Today mmc cards are very cheap and soon there will be 1tb cards...soo stop defending samsungs stupid move to remove sd card and non removable battery.
We loved samsung for all these features..
Hope samsung learns. I want to meet the samsung head who decided to remove these basic features.

....for as long as OEM companies continue to improve and upgrade their cameras and camera software, there should always be an accompanying expandable storage option on those perspective devices.
.....for as long as smartphones/tablets have "smart-pen" capabilities. ...those companies need to understand that children get their hands on what "mommy and daddy" have. In other words, make it childproof.
...for as long as people enjoy watching commercials, OEM's need to come up with ways to cut out the "middle man" to cut their costs and actually improve their products by reducing marketing costs. Smartphones belong in the hands and pockets of "smart" people. If OEM companies believe this principle, they wouldn't sell mediocre and under-par successive devices.

Always had a love hate relationship with Samsung Notes. Ugly TW. Lag. Power. All the functions. Had all the Notes. Well now I'm finally saying bye to Samsung forever. Going over to the house of Motorola. X Style. Pure Android with cream on top. Updates always on time. External sd card slot. Thankyou.

We don't buy televisions on any type of contract from DirecTV, Dish Network, Cox Cable, NetFlix...etc. If telecommunication companies are going to charge full prices for smartphone/tablets, why aren't we able to purchase smartphones/tablets directly from the manufacturer ? ?
Samsung would definitely cut costs if they would offer Factory Unlocked versions right on their company website.
Reviews of smartphones/tablets would be more 'unbiased' , in my opinion.

Whats the use of paying so much for a phone, then the Glass is. Easily Broken, glass might look o. K buts its so fragile, Samsung have not thought about that at All, read some reviews and the Note 5 can be very slippery to Hold in the Hand, seen loads of Galaxy S6 or S6 edge on Ebay with broken Glass, keep hold of the Note 4 instead

I could live wi... moreActually I'd rather buy the Note 4 since it's better specs and more features. The only thing the A8 offers is a metal case but that's not enough to tempt me since I haven't seen a bend test and don't know how much the metal might affect the signal yet.
