That's because its pure untouched Android! Its not had features or anything added to it.For shame. I'm headed to the Note 4.
Not much on a phone since I find it to be too cramped, but on a Tablet in landscape mode is more useful.Would someone give me some scenarios when they would commonly use the multi-window capacity? I am trying to think of some real-world instances when I might want to do that and, since I have little Android experience so far, I'm not coming up with anything.(The only thing I can think of is wanting to look something up while using the phone, but that's available without multi-window, isn't it?)
I used multi-window on my Note 2 when I first got it. I played with it. I showed my wife how to use it on her Note 2, too. It's been two years, and I haven't used it since. Neither has my wife. It seems like such a great idea, but I have no practical use for it. I just switch between apps when I need to.
I put it in the category of great idea, great execution, limited actual value.
I'm curious if other people with Notes ever actually use multi-window.
I had a Note 2 and I currently use a Note 3. Although I initially thought it was a great idea and that I would use it often, reality is, I never do. Matter of fact, the little tab on the left of the screen that shows when multi window is active annoys the crap out of me. I've come to learn that many of the features that Samsung packs into their phones are gimmicky and useless for me. Looking into a more stock experience now (MotoX or Nexus).
Not sure if many people realize that not every app is compatible with multi window. IIRC, compatibility is a function of the actual app so if the app developer didn't include it in the program, it won't work with multi window.

Lack of multi window support is most likely what's gonna keep me from buying N6. There's simply no point in such screen size (phone) otherwise. At the very least they should do something similar to iPhone 6+ (added landscape features).
My scenario? I'd use it daily for at least 5 hours. Currently I'm running a live chat app (traders ) and my Ameritrade app. It's PITA to switch back and forth and I always wonder what information I might not be seeing.
At this age, it's a must feature on a stock Android
