I don't love this phone, but I do like it an awful lot. My main complaints are that the front of the phone has very strange proportions and so it don't find it very attractive in the way that Samsung or LG's flagships are this year. The speakers, while loud, are kind of disappointing in...

I think a phone the size of the note is really difficult to "learn how to use". It's just too large of a form factor to keep from bumping the screen's curved edge part. IMO, the edge display will make the new note almost impossible to use one handed.

I think for that very reason, it's a dumb idea to make this device with the curved edges. It's going to be .2" larger than the S7 edge. While it will have the additional bonus of the pen, I think it's just way too similar of a product.

sweet baby jeebus it would be good to win!

I can haz, plz?

Plz?

I gotta have that sweet, sweet Marshmallow!

It's so that you don't have to open up an app to make a secure payment. I'm pretty sure it's the same number of actions as before.

I've gotten 2 OTA software updates from T-Mobile in the last 2 days. I'm assuming that they were just stability improvements, because I have seen zero change in the performance of my phone, either good or bad. Has anyone else had a different experience after these updates, or know more about them?

Awesome!

Re: How large is the Note 5 I had an LG G3 before this, and it's only slightly wider than that, albeit quite a bit taller. I'm 6' tall and have hands in accordance with that height. I hold my phone primarily in my right hand, and I've got to strain to reach stuff in the upper left-hand corner...

I agree. I feel like putting cases on beautiful phones like these is akin to making a model wear a burlap sack. Just be careful with your $700 device, or get insurance for it. As for it being slippery, as long as you don't have extremely sweaty or small hands, I don't think anyone should have...

Nope, no pen features lost. Still works just like always. I personally hate Samsung's software design, so I've done everything possible to change the look of everything to be more material. Only thing is that with a custom launcher enabled, you will no longer be able to theme the app icons...

Mmm, I'd love this phone in my life. Posted via the Android Central App

Thanks for the contest AC! Would love to win. I like my LG G3, but it's getting a little beat up, and it would be nice to upgrade to this!
