This Note 5 is just 70% complete, Don't worry with all the bashing Samsung is getting it will come out clean with a fully packed Note 6 with all the enhanced features. I thought the Note 5 will be a striking upgrade of the note 2,3, and 4 it's just physical differences, screen resolution and camera pixels. A flagship phone with no Fm radio, memory card slot, sealed battery, limited storage of 64 gig.. My opinion it's backward it's not a proper upgrade from the previous generation.

Unfortunately, a good design, but it is not practical for the final exhibition and easily broken (The big problem that they are still basic features which external memory and battery power and less remote)
Do you think Samsung to become Apple as a phone or what !!! (Underwhelming hopes)
But now more willing to Note 4 / and I hope from Samsung to issue a second copy and modify them and add shortcomings

The Note 5 is not want I want in a smartphone. I fell in love with the Note series from the first and have been a loyal user through the 4 series, which I currently use. Now, however, I will be looking for a different product line.
First of all, I don't care anything about the stylus; I never use it (I mean never). I also don't care if a phone has a tft or led display; either is more than enough and the screen resolution really isn't a big deal for me either. The screen size IS. I actually prefer the Note 3 over the 4 as far as the screen goes. I was hoping for something slightly larger out of the 5, although the screen size is okay. I couldn't care less what the case looks like; my phones are always in a case anyway and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I do not want to have to plug in a USB drive to save off my files and the lack of a microusb is a big deal for me. The Note 3 and 4 both last about 5 hours before going dead for me (yes, I am on my phone A LOT) and not having a removable battery is a big problem. Thus can, of course, be partially remedied by carrying external batteries, but it is a pain to use the phone when they are plugged in and its actually hard to find ones that have enough capacity to charge the Note series.
Not having an IR blaster is a big step backwards as well. This isn't incredibly important for me, but it is a feature I like.
What Samsung did is redesign a grear phone to be more like the iPhone plus, which is not what made this series popular.
Case appearance = I don't care.
Fingerprint Reader = Useless
No removable battery = Huge problem
No Micro USB = Big Problem
No IR blaster = Annoying
Screen = OK, but not exciting.

Went to the biggest Reliance digital store in Bangalore India and the sales guy said that there were very few advance bookings for the S6+ edge
Though the note 5 not yet launched hardly any customers are asking about it.
finally a senior samsung software engineering manager from their R&D centre mentioned to me that he was not happy by the decisions taken by samis headquarters in South Korea on removeing some of the fearures.
Question will sami learn .... or are they going ti crash like nokia

Lousy phone without micro SD slot and non-removable battery. S pen is a failure in Note 5. The 4GB Ram doesnt speed up the phone at all, as it is for Multi-Windows function, which a lot of people mistaken for its speed! Note 5 only max up to 64GB!!! It's not enough!!!
If you were to do a calculation on Note 5 memory price as compared to microSD card, you will know how much more expensive it is!
This phone is a failure.
Microsoft is coming up with a phone with micro SD slot support up to 256GB, removable battery, stylus pen and USB C connector!

They are worthless to me without the S Pen, no matter how good looking they are. Note 5 on the other hand, I can get for free with my serice contract renewal. I'd be paying for the same amount of service, and why not get the "free" device that usually comes along with it.
Unlike you who just likes how it looks and the IDEA of fast memory, for me the S Pen is all important, and I was really hoping for it to be my next upgrade. Not likely now, with all the fiasco numb-nut job that Samsung did. I appreciate the processor upgrade and better fingerprint scanner, BUT NOT the terrible sealed battery, no memory expansion, glass back, and the S Pen design flaw.
Hey, you like the bling and not even know how it really works, ignoring the weakness of the device and all for a shiny fragile device choice - your sense of what is good like the logic of iPhone users - "don't-know-better-don't-care-it-looks-good-it's-popular-I-want-it".
I'm a big Galaxy Note fan (not the brand Samsung) since 2011. I can only come to forums warning people not to get this.
