Note 5 - Official Specs and First Hands On

[anon(9099462)]

Is anyone of you impressed at all with the Note 5. I personally was expecting a little more than what they showed today in the keynote.

The Note 5 = Samsung's New Coke.
For those too young to remember, here's a good summary that shows how apt the metaphor is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Coke

Here's hoping that Samsung's Note 6 returns to the original winning formula a year from now.

Only like 3 things impressed me. It was nothing spectacular. I will still get the phone, but I'm not gonna preorder

It is official No 128GB Version and No Microsd Slot. Sticking with my GNote4.

Us UK people have suddenly lost interest!

WTF would Samsung not include a 128GB option. This could be the deal breaker for me. I'm ok with a non removable battery and no SD slot but no 128GB option is laughable.

RAW image capable for you photogs out there! This will be a top feature for some (me!)

Re: Official Specs and first hands on

It's a bit like our love lives (though I can only speak for myself ) - - -

To be honest nothing made me go "Oh wow!". Samsung pay is the only thing that is remotely cool.

I will be snagging a Moto X Pure. I haven't tried Pure Android yet so I think I will give it a go .

Samsung Pay will be on the Note 4, 3, and S5 and S6. Not missing much. Nothing made me want to consider giving up my Note 4.

I am not excited about the note 5 at all im actually kind of disappointed I guess I will keep my note 4 might get the moto x pure just to have something else to play with

I've been thinking the same thing. This is a perfect time to try out other Android manufacturers!

With the official news now out, I'll be waiting for battery life reviews as I expected I would, as well as waiting for Moto X Pure reviews. The fact that my LG G2 had a sudden hardware failure on Monday and Asurian replaced it with a G4 (came in the mail yesterday) for a $100 deductible also changes the game a bit for me. Having a 2015 flagship in my pocket helps make sure I stay patient heh, even though it's not the device at the top of my list anymore.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note 5 + S6 Edge Plus impressions from the Unpacked keynote!

These phones look like garbage,

But it's glass and glass on a bigger device you carry around is really cool! Of course, you need to leave the case off of it for people to see, or buy one of those translucent thinny cases that do not really protect it much. Initial impressions do not seem to be as hyperbolic as I thought they might be. In forums or media.

"Current customers on AT&T Next can get at least a $200 trade in value for a Galaxy Note 5 or Galaxy S6 edge+, either as an instant credit or promotion card." Source AC.

Well, I checked my eligibility for my Note 3 and I could get a Note 5 for a very good low price, if I traded in my Note 3.
Hmm, wait a minute. IF I get the note 5, I'll have my s-pen. Even though, there really is no SD Card Slot, or Removable battery, I can still use my Note 3 for the battery purposes (For emergency).

I would totally grab the instant if it was me.

First time I don't feel excited about the next iteration of the Note line up. I'll be holding off on purchasing this, and will see if the rumors about the G4 Pro are true.

G4 is a good device
