Note 5 still a good buy?

[Coraya]

I dont have the Note 5. I had the option for picking one up, but the lack of an SD card slot turned me off completely. The Note 4 is great if you're not a power user. Despite what's been said. The Note 4 is in fact an amazing device if you're a casual smartphone user. On the other hand, using the device for work on a frequent basis throughout the day, the phone will end up lagging quite a bit after a few months. I restart my device at least once a day due to freezes and lag. It's only been since about October that I've had the Note 4. I've had the 6 plus and the Note 3 before that. Just make sure you don't download tooooo many apps and you'll be fine. I'll be waiting for the note 6 if it carries am SD slot and a much faster processor.

Thanks everyone for the great conversation. I think I am going to pick one up this weekend.

I am seriously loving my Note 5. I've had it for just about a week now and the battery life has really improved over the past few days.

I thought that the lack of SD card and removable battery would be something I missed but I don't even think about it. I got the 64GB gold Note 5. This IS an amazing phone. My Note 5 is my main phone now even though I bought an iPhone 6S and a 6S+ in December. Nothing beats this phone.

The GS7 edge+ will be out before the note 6 so i may go for that. No way i pay full price for 6 month old phone

I have a 6s plus and a Note 5, I owned the Note 4,and even though the SD card was there and replaceable battery I still sold the device because battery wasn't the best, nice all around phone. Now the Note 5 is great even without the ad card and replaceable battery. I just purchased the 64 gb model. I really don't think it matters to much either device, if you have to many apps installed the device is going to lag.

Yesterday I also purchased the S2 gear 3G so I'm going to compared the two devices being I also own a Apple Watch.

Had it, really liked it. Got stolen and got a nexus 6p now. Samsung needs to improve their updates with carriers . I feel spoiled now with a nexus device

The lack of storage space was a deal-breaker for me, but not as much as Knox. This keeps me from even considering any Samsung phones in the future. It's a shame, as they can make a pretty decent device.

Yes, I think it is, I love mine and still don't see anything that beats it yet. at least not for my needs.

Does any one know how the gear s2 is with the note 5? I was thinking about getting one.

How are you enjoying it compared to your iPhone? I have a 6 plus and using the Samsung ultimate test drive promotion and think I might make the switch

The Gear S2 works perfectly fine with the Note 5. I have that setup.

So no sprint store carries the 64 gb Note 5, I'd have to order it. Might just get the 32 so I don't have to wait.

I am looking to get one, however I do not want the one AT&T has. I don't want the bloat and or don't want to root the device. I want to have one that will work on AT&T here in the US with AT&T LTE. I just don't know the correct model to order.

I am personally waiting to see the s7 edge, I had a note 2, and I won't buy a phone without an SD card, so no Note 5 for me. It's not about waiting for the latest/greatest, it's about waiting for the phone with the right features (for me).

If I had to have a Note right now, it would be a Note 4. Hopefully the 6 will have an SD card again.

 

[Reggie]

I have the note 4 Edge (typing on it right now). I got it over the 5 because I wanted SD card capabilities as I keep tons of pictures and movies on my device. I have ordered (arriving in a couple of hours) a Sony Experia Z5 Premium because I have not liked how the edge works.

I switched from the Note 4 to the 5 and I just love this phone! Jet fast and Stunning display! The camera and video is outstanding! The Best phone I have ever owned!.

Only if you buy one used from that site that's not ebay and does nothing but sell used cell phones
I just picked up a Lg V10 and saved $200 and it was mint. I'd buy a note 4 before I buy the 5. It's just too iPhone.
