    The 6p is hands down the best phone ever made!

    6P is the best Nexus phone to date but there's still a large gap between it and Note 5 or Galaxy S6 Edge+. Maybe the next iteration of 6P will be closer but for now I'll stick with the true best.

    Samsung note 5 problem, screen freezes

    Since the side bezels are so thin you could be inadvertently touching the screen with another overlapping finger causing it to appear like the screen is not responding or slow to respond. Try adjusting your grip or a case would help to add some width.

    Veteran Note users... how do you use Multi Window?

    There are so many use cases. Just imagine what you do on your desktop or laptop with multiwindow. Just one of many is the ability to have two browsers opened to view, for example, two different live blogs of new product announcement. Chrome version 36 if I recall correctly allowed two...

    Got my confirmation email yesterday for a Note 5 on Verizon (in retrospect should've tried Tmobile). It's coming from Texas. Email incorrectly shows estimated delivery for Sunday but Fedex tracking # shows Tuesday.

    A note to samsung

    iPhone is a mass produced low end and low quality device with more color options because it's sprayed on instead of using quality materials and finish. Furthermore, it doesn't have SAMOLED, no 14nm SoC and ~40% slower performance, 1GB DRAM instead of 4GB, made from mass produced bendable...

    Good article on why Samsung (and other companies) are getting rid of MicroSD Cards

    SD card made sense years ago when internal storage was tiny like 512MB on my previous Samsung Epic 4G but considering it can't fully be used for apps along with having lost data from prematurely dying Sandisk SD cards I won't miss it. I'd rather have 64GB or 128GB of fast reliable internal...

    Note 5 Battery life thread

    Is the lack of an IR blaster a deal breaker in the Note 5?

    Re: Why no IR blaster? Have never used IR on my Note II or 3 so no loss. Guess I never bothered with the hassle of setting it up when I can just use the remote plus with devices like Chromecast there's less of a need for IR.
