eyeshield, 15 Aug 2015Does it has fm radio? Gsmarena not sure yet...i just want to know :)Reason for not buying Note 5

-No UV sensor
-32/64 gb is not enough(even navigation app takes 8GB)
-No IR blaster
-No IP67 certificate(even it is sealed)
-less battery capacity(that also LI-PO,it damages after 7 to 8 months)
-Stupid Keyboard
-No DLNA(even note 3 had)
-No memory card support
-No removable battery,only 3000mah for 5,7 inch screen
-No Radio
-No upgrade in camera
-No upgrade from note 4
-Slippery back
paying even $800 for this phone is waste of money. -samsung is new titanic

    This Samsung note 5 is a joke right? I believe Samsung is just playing prank with her loyalty fans. How else can one explain a supposedly note 4 upgrade without any noticeable upgrade ; no SD card, no IR blaster,no FM, non replaceable and lower battery capacity etc. The only plus is the design. Having used all the previous notes; I'm definitely sticking with my note 4 while earnestly waiting for Samsung note 6 or note 5 neo.

If you charge twice a day due to heavy user, expect only 5 mouths of good battery efficiency. That's FACTUAL.

            You guys are weird. Buy a wireless charging powerbank. Don't you realize the Note 5 have wireless charging? Keep complaining about needing cables and tail sticking out of the phone.

Let me tell you buddy, not everyone live a luxurious travelling lifestyle for work like your family. Powerbank really are more versatile and convinient compare to having multiple battery change. I can plug it in to my smartphones and tablets of multiple brands. My family share many powerbank. Who said powerbank are bulky and need cable? Buy a slim powerbank that work with Qi charging. That the point of Buying Note 5. Why do you think Samsung make their own OEM powerbank.

                        I think power banks are awesome. They charge my extra batteries much more efficiently... at home.

                            They're pretty bulky, alright. Points why and how I use them:

                            1. My Note 8 only lasts 5 hours screen on when I need to use an extra screen.
                            2. I charge my Bluetooth earphones with them, and they turn off automatically reducing the risk of running the tiny battery it has. I use the lowest ampere.
                            3. I charge my extra batteries in the go, and when I carry a bag. Again, they turn off automatically when batteries are full.
                            4. Yes, as someone suggested here, sharing power makes you popular... No, wife doesn't charge even her extra batteries, that's why I let her use one when she needs it for long travels.
                            5. Extra power source for my portable HDD to get my files directly... and more than ever for the poor people who are getting a NotePOINTfive.

                            But for my usual, the light extra battery is it. At times when I don't need to do CAD on the go, I carry no bags for my laptop, no power bank, no charger, just that one light thing besides the wallet, smartphone.

                                    1) Power banks are still bulky and require being plugged in for a period. A spare battery change is about 1 minute to get back to 100%

                                    2) See above

                                    3) True, power banks are very handy for multiple devices.. but that's why i have a Note 4, so i don't need a phone AND tablet.

                                    4) Just checked prices on a genuine Note 4 battery.. about AU$18... you think that is expensive??? A good quality power bank costs a lot more, weighs more, is bulkier and needs cables.

                                    5) ???
