Screen looks great and looks fast.. the ad 810 is what turned me off but looks fast.
In the end..really love the Note 5...4 gig ram..awesome screen, s pen...awesome ND really don't mind touchwiz....awesome need I hate TouchWiz on my tablet

- Funny you ask that cuz I thought about asking what you guys thought about it! I've never given Nexus a second look...until today. I don't know anything about them, but that big one looks good. I read the AC article about it. Sounds good too. Hmmm...

- Why did this have to happen??? I love my Note 5. The screen, speed, camera, I can go on and on but the Nexus line has always had a special place with me due to it's timely updates, pure stock android experience with no bloat and exceptional price points. There is no way I can justify this purchase but I would be lying to you if I said the new Nexus 6P is not tempting my addiction.Oscar Maradiaga and geekaren like this.09-29-2015 08:40 PMLike 2

- I placed an order. It will be a tough sell to get me to give up my note but I want to test them both out and see which I prefer.

Its like how i switch back and forth between the droid line and the note line. (Yes i know droids have verizon bloat) while the pure android phones are great for someone wanting a pure android experience, the note line isnt even supposed to be that. The note line is for someone who wants an spen and features built into the phone.
Dont get me wrong, the new phone looks like a great phone, but comparing the phones is hard to do.
You can however choose what type of experience you want w your phone, and that is a personal choice.

No thanks.erasat and debdroid1a like this.09-29-2015 10:05 PMLike 2 - I have a nexus 7 2012 tablet and its awesome. Has the 5.1.1 latest and they said today it will receive android m. I do love stock android. The camera is the nexus best camera they have ever had on a phone. Thats something the note 5 had better then any premium phone thats out now. I do like having the lastest android version. Just don't know how i would feel with a Nexus phone.09-29-2015 10:05 PMLike 0
- I'm always amazed people pre-order new phones. Until consumer models are plentiful we may know stats but how is the radio? Real life battery time? Does it run hot? Restarts? There are a million possible issues we couldn't possibly anticipate. Just look at the s6 edge. Sounded spectacular but overheating fast charging and accelerometer burn out soon cooled my enthusiasm. I know nothing about Huawei. How is their customer service? Quality control etc?
I don't care about looks and the specs sound fantastic. I can't wait to read customer comments. I don't trust website reviews. They don't use the phone long enough to find the flaws.bassplayrguy and AlexMarie15 like this.09-29-2015 10:23 PMLike 2 - I'm always amazed people pre-order new phones.

The thing I like about the Note is the spen and the 4 gb of ram. I think the form factor is smaller. I like the 6P due to the 128gb capacity and having the latest updates. Will the Note 5 on AT&T get Marshmallow anytime this year? How much storage is available on the Note 5 out of the box? Can I remove all the bloatware without rooting to gain space? Would it be smarter to pay the extra $ to get an international version? I think answers to these will help make up my mind.

My only reason I picked Note 5 is mainly the SPen functionality. Unfortunately, there is only Note 5 in the market, not that I don't like/love my Note 5. Note 5 is a beautiful and a amzingly fast phone. I believe the camera on Note 5 is one the best.

I don't personally naturally hold, or pick up my device in a way that would 'force' my index finger to cover said button for 'activation'.
That would annoy me. I'm a two handed phone user guy. Further more, I like my Note 5debdroid1a likes this.09-30-2015 09:40 AMLike 1 -

A bunch of devices that have looked good on paper have had issues (EG: overheating, throttling, camera effectiveness, wireless issues, actual battery life) that weren't realized until they were reviewed and in people's hands. No one does AMOLED like Samsung so just because the 6P has that type of display doesn't mean it's of the same caliber as what's on the Note. Reviews and comparisons will be out soon and that'll shed some light on how good or bad the 6P is at different things.
Not everyone here is enamored with "pure Google;" especially on a 5.7" phone. I for one actually use things like S Note, Action Memo, S Pen, Scrapbook, SideSync, Samsung Link, and multiview and buy Note's because of it. I don't know how many like me there are here but I have no interest in a "vanilla" phone that I have to cobble together my own productivity features on. For people that don't use the Note's specialty features the 6P will probably be fine and a better value. Providing you don't care about OIS for the camera and wireless charging which are the two biggest missing features. All my wireless devices and their dozen cables are micro USB so throwing in a Micro C oddball isn't a feature it's a challenge. So I personally view that as a negative.
The new Nexi are great values. Let's see what kind of phones they are.Oscar Maradiaga likes this.09-30-2015 11:14 AMLike 1 - I could go for a Nexus despite loving many Note features but it would have to beat the Note 5 significantly in other areas. Battery life, screen, wireless charging (already a fail), HDMI out etc.
The Nexus 6 was just too big. The 6p only a little bigger than note but I haven't seen anything yet that knocks me over. Time will tell.09-30-2015 12:33 PMLike 0
