Samsung Galaxy Note5 - user opinions and reviews

Using Note5 64gb edition for ~6 months. Calling this a power user phone is a joke. Frequent screen freezing, no support and wipe-cache issues are making the phone disgusting to use. I will never buy samsung again!

AnonD-22824, 21 Jun 2016boasting 5 million Note.5 sold Lol what a joke ! Samung or note5 does not need any kind of boa... moreYeah, "no better" except Note.5 is ranked #3, while S7 Edge ranked #1 in camera performance. It's not even #2 - S6 Edge has that.
Note.5 has F/1.9, while S7 Edge has F/1.7. Not better? S7 Edge has 1.4 µm pixel size sensor, versus Note.5's 1.12 µm pixel size. Not better either?
More from DxO.Mark about the S7 Edge camera performance:
"Colors are also vivid and pleasant in both lighting conditions, scoring 90 in bright light, which drops to a very respectable 76 in low light. White balance outdoors is generally accurate..."
Bottom line is that your assumption about the S7 Edge's camera being not better is baloney.

Samung or note5 does not need any kind of boasting from my side to sale LOL.but what is a fact is a fact.& keep in mind that i have no ego issues like few hypocrite people here in accepting facts Lol.
I know that s7 or s7 edge can perform well in daylight conditions as well its just that its no better than note5 camera in daylight esp when shooting landscapes and looks very bad with its square photos which comes with less details .Hopefully the same camera does not show up on the Note7.

Samsungs 2... moreIt's just funny. He's boasting 5 million Note.5 sold in 3 months. These are low powered users who don't use microSD cards like iPhone users.
Note.5 camera is slightly better than S6, which is actually excellent. What's better than that is S7 Edge ranked by DxOMark Mobile, but totally can't deal with that fact. All around, reviewers are telling how excellent the S7 series camera really are.
Even if the S7 series are additionally actually water-resistant, better battery, and with very useful memory expansion,they still don't admit Note.5 is a failed experiment.

Just cause you have s7 edge (which Again has ugly square photos + low deatailed photos in daytime and in landscapes) does not mean that it is better than Note5 in overall camera performance LOL stop being a hypocrite.

Extensive true controlled testing, versus biased impressions.
DxOMark Mobile is reputable, with a ranking system, ranking Note.5 as 3rd placing by points system.
More to justify that $935 you spent. Can't even admit there is another smartphone with a better camera. S7 Edge camera is overall ranked #1.

Plus the fact that Samsung knew based on the S6 sales that that was the problem why the Note.5 will probably not sell, and did not bother to supply Europe for the first few months.
64GB is not enough, and plus they didn't put 64GB in all markets. They expected 32gb to sell without memory expansion? Poor, poor assessment. Lots of polls told us that people do care about memory expansion.
Our favorite Note.5 user has already commented on getting the Note7. Of course he needs to keep up with the bling to fit in.

You do realise that Samsung sales have been really flat because of the S6 and GN5... the S7 has provided a big jump in operating profit and the GN7 is predicted to do likewise.

What sort of ignorance is that? According to you, it's poor. According to DxOMark Mobile, the Note.5 has a score of 86 landing third overall, while the S7 Edge scores 88 which ranks No. 1. Still denying to yourself? Still going on with squarish picture and megapixels as your basis?
Not according to you, but by DxOMark remarks the S7 Edge:
"The 26mm f/1.7 lens delivers very accurate and repeatable exposures, which helped the S7 edges achieve an outstanding Exposure & Contrast score of 90 during our tests."
"With low levels of noise for both indoor and outdoor photography, the S7 Edge is capable of capturing rich and textured images in all conditions."
Photo score for Note.5 is 87, while S7 Edge is 88. But for video, Note.5 score only 84, while S7 Edge is 88. DxOMark again praises the S7 Edge's video recording with "... notable improvements to its video performance, achieving a Video sub-score of 88 points, compared to 84 points for the S6 edge. Again, videos capture nice exposures, with pleasant color and excellent video autofocus and stabilization performance, too."
I'd like a more test-thorough opinion than the mere person going about with squarish picture format and megapixels. I'd like the best camera performer that can potentially be at least as best as the No.1 ranked mobile camera device as the S7 Edge.
