Shhzd amar, 08 Mar 2017How is the tampered glass applied to its screen? Does the glass cover the edges too..?i also have doubts regarding that and since i have never owned a curved screen device so i am not very aware. brands like spigen make good screen protectors but price for edge screen based screen protectors is like 1000-2000 rupees for 1 screen protector. also many good brands are not available in india for example- when i was searching for note 5 tempered glass all were producing Halo around the edges only a brand named ZAGG had tempered glass which din't produce any halo but it was not available in india and importing it costed 3500 rupees and that was insane so i gave up and put a spigen film screen protector. i recommend you to search Youtube and Xda forums and you will get to know what fits, what doesn't, price, availability and many more things.

When my S6 edge plus broke, I upgraded to a Note 5. I have only had this phone for a little over a year. I have had no problems up until about 2 months ago. The screen will go turn off and when I go to unlock the phone, the screen wont turn back on unless I hit the home button 20 times. The pen continuously falls out of the phone. The pen will only write on a portion of my screen which never had any problems before. The phone is in great condition. I have had it in a otterbox ever since I bought it. Have never dropped it in water or anything. I have no idea why it just all of a sudden started having problems.

Shhzd amar, 07 Mar 2017Hows the S6 edge plus bro? I guess its 64gb version should be within my price rangeit is a good device. my girlfriend had one and she had no issues whatsoever. it is same as the note 5 spec wise and both were launched together. only difference being edge screen inclusion and no s-pen. but the dual sim variant is not available in india.

Is it really a good idea to buy Samsung Galaxy note 5, 2015 flagship model, in 2017? I am interested in S pen and related functionality. Though Note 5 is a superb device, but it doesn't have expandable memory, non removable battery, no IP certified protection.
Or should I buy LG Stylus 2 Plus, which offers the same stylus functionalities and has decent specs compared to Note 5 and comes in half the price of Note 5 with removable battery, dual SIM and expandable memory.
What are the cons Note 5 has regarding non expandable memory? How is memory management of note 5, out of 4gb ram normally how much is used in day to day working?
Will Note 5 get Nougat update and follow on Android versions update in coming years?

My pc is ... moregood choice keeping the op3. see how different it is, you depend on jio and idea for internet needs so streaming was never ever an option and you ought to have a huge storage. also your only computing device is the op3 so you definitely need huge storage. different people different lifestyle different needs. cheers :-)

Tucking Fypo, 03 Mar 2017this is what i told you, everybody's needs and lifestyle is different, that is why i tell you ... moreYou're right bro... As of now I only have a smartphone in which I dump everything... My pc is hopeless, because it keeps failing every now and then... Also I rely on reliance jio which doesn't have speed anywhere near to what is required to stream a decent quality, even whatsapp messages do not get sent sometimes, so I have to use idea's internet additionally, so dual sim is unfortunately must...
Thanks bro, as of now I won't buy the note 5, because there are too compromises that have to be made and still I won't be satisfied... Maybe, in future I will think about it if the price falls, I'll dump jio and survive on a single sim... And there are Otg pendrives to serve the purpose as well... I was only concerned because there's no service centre nearby and it would be a real pain to get it repaired... Anyways thanks bro...

Shhzd amar, 03 Mar 2017Bro you cannot always rely on streaming, guess you're travelling in a car, you wanna have some... morethis is what i told you, everybody's needs and lifestyle is different, that is why i tell you not to get 32gb. my work needs a laptop so anywhere i go, i want or i don't want i have to carry an extra computing device. so i make full use of the extra computing device by using it for media consumption. also my house and my workplace are 15mins apart and both have good internet facility so i am covered totally. one or two exceptions may be if i go for a long drive or dinner with family or g.friend or catch a flight and during these instances i care less about what song or video i am bringing with me. moreover i rarely go out of my daily monotonous life. i am a working professional and not a college/school student that i have to care about what songs or videos should i be listening while i am on the move i prefer reading a magazine or newspaper. even my peers are like minded. no way i am saying more storage is bad. bigger is better. but i am fine with 32gb and i will be fine with 64gb or 128gb or 1TB on my phone. difference in storage won't affect my daily activities even by 1%.
for your needs that is 64gb, dual sim, note 5, below 40k is impossible in my opinion. also note 5 64gb+dual sim is nowhere available online and is around 53k according to samsung plaza. so you are in a deadlock state. btw op3 is not a bad device u should keep it.

Sharing movies and stuffs would always be a problem...
Even if the fall upto 4k, then it will be fine for me, because it would be difficult for me to manage 42k, 38k I can manage...

Shhzd amar, 02 Mar 2017But still I have the nostalgia for the Samsung's touchwiz UI... It has so many useful features... moreif you have storage issues then don't go for note 5. i stream everything now as i have good internet speeds. 32gb is ok for me. 64gb was my preference but since it was out of stock for ever, so i had to buy 32gb. netflix,youtube,apple music,google photos,google drive..etc have made life very easy. i am not interested in mobile games at all. but i know India is still to develop in terms of streaming services and people still store honey singh songs in micro sd cards and use xender and bluetooth for sharing. i have 11gb internal left as of now. so bro if you are going to have issues don't buy note 5 32gb. every person has different needs.
also regarding touchwiz(new one) it is still not my favourite ui but those Note series specific apps leans me towards it. my next device will be a note 8 for use but not s8/s7 simply because i need the note specific apps.
lastly regarding price. after the s6 launch samsung said that its price won't be as volatile as it used to be earlier. you might have seen prices not dipping as it used to like in case of s4,s5,note4. so don't be very optimistic and don't think prices would drop by 7k or 8k for s7/s7 edge. c4etech made a video on samsung pricing. watch it you will understand better what i am saying. also s7 and note 5 are 2 different series that cater to different audiences don't mix them.

Tucking Fypo, 02 Mar 2017see i would recommend buying good headphones if you have flagship phone. my note 5 with powera... moreBut still I have the nostalgia for the Samsung's touchwiz UI... It has so many useful features, that I still miss to date.. I have tried, stock android, Cyanogen, MIUI but none had the charm of the touchwiz... There are phones like the C9 pro, even the A9 pro's pricing slashed down to 29k... But still I don't want to buy those... Today a flagship, everyday a flagship, that's how it goes...

Tucking Fypo, 02 Mar 2017see i would recommend buying good headphones if you have flagship phone. my note 5 with powera... moreBro, I'm on a tight budget, maybe later I'll look for a decent audio gear(I just broke my bluedio headphones), because my samsung earphones are serving the purpose, its the op3 which has a bad quality headphone jack...
But I'm still worried about the storage, considering that I've almost 36gb already filled and that is after removing all the unnecessary things, I doubt that will I be able to manage with 32gb...
That's the thing bro... This would be my first flagship class phone, I've had much difficulty in managing the amount, so considering the fact that I switch phones in every 9-10 months, I don't want to suffer huge loss... So, I was waiting for the prices to drop...
Bro the s7 is already available for 42k... I guess it would easily go below the 40k...
