Happy with note 5?

[Kelly Kearns]

From what I understand the Note 5 physical size isn't as big 6 Plus.

Now with the Note 5, the screen is the same size as the Note 4, but the Note 5 is smaller. Also it is also a better fit in your hand and feels much smaller. It is a very comfortable phone to use. You really should go by a store and get one on your hands.

As far as lag, etc.. I've not experienced any of that at all.

6sp is larger physically than the note 5.

The Note 5 smaller width combined with the reverse curve helps a lot when in your hand.

I would try a factory data reset and don't install any apps to see if you still have problems.

Seems like the problem fixed itself. Over 48 hours without any freeze.
Keep my fingers crossed

I'm looking at coming over to a Note 5 from an iPhone. I was considering a Nexus 5X, but circumstances kept me from getting one. For right now anyway. A few questions about the Note 5.....how big is it? I have an iPhone 6 Plus, is it bigger than the 6 Plus? I can't see going much bigger than the 6 Plus.....also, I have had a few Samsung Galaxy phones in the past, (not a Note, I've never owned a Note device), and I experienced lag and stuttering, that's why I didn't stick with them. Are these issues improved on the Note 5? Thanks for any input!

The Note 5 footprint is actually smaller than the 6 Plus footprint though it is 0.5mm thicker.

I switched from an iPhone 6 myself. Aside from a few growing pains, it's been a good phone.

Thanks everyone for your helpful comments! I will go to my AT&T store and see if they have any, to actually hold one in my hand. But I like to read others opinions and thoughts. Will the Note 5 get the Marshmallow 6.0 software update?

The Note 5 is state of the art and getting better. IMO, that is why you chose it over the iPhone 6..

IMO, the size of the Note 5 is perfect, I for one wish they had kept some features that were in the previous Notes, but we can't win them all.

Off Topic for a second, you avatar got to me..

Back on topic..

Forget the IPhone, what size Note 5 you got, 32 or 64?

Be safe,

Who would of thought another RC51 enthusiast on here! Unfortunately I sold it over last winter and moved to a Monster S2R1000. Sure, it doesn't have much power but it is more fun than the RC. I do miss the top end sometimes but at a street pace and slightly beyond its Hella fun!

Yes it will get Marshmallow. My experience with AT&T is they will be last or next to last of the 4 carriers to get the update.

So, I am taking it, that you consider the Note 5 better than that iPhone 6? That was a no brainer..

Warm RC51 hug to you.. Great pics too.
For the fun of it, I passed 9 Monsters on my RC51 at Thornton's Gap in West Va.. A mini Tail of the Dragon.

How is the battery life on the Note 5, and how are you dealing with the limited storage??

Have a VZW Note 5 since release and I am totally happy with it now that Samsung Pay is supported. No problems at all.

Vzw Note 5 64gb. I mostly love it. Having NONE of the problems listed above. I fact, no real problems or bugs. However, if I had my choice, I would have preferred something the size of an S6. I'm coming from an S4 so this is my first phablet. I opted for the note instead of the S6 because of battery life concerns.

For its screen size, the note is amazingly compact and easy to hold. But, I still think the size of my S4 was more practical.

As with others, I've had it since release and no issues.
Also been getting really good battery life (as good if not better than my Note 4).

The phones cool only issue is the fingerprint sensor is horrible for me

Delete or overwrite your existing fingerprint and train it again. I don't have a Note 5, I have a Note 4 with the inferior fingerprint sensor, and I absolutely hated it at first. It failed more often than it worked. Then I re-trained it and it works great about 95% of the time or more. I wish it had the Note 5 sensor, but it will do for now.

I also have two fingerprint scans for the finger I use.

Crazy happy with my N5.
Best smartphone that I've owned yet - and I've owned a bunch.

I concur on the multiple scans. I personally have separate scans each in portrait and landscape for both thumbs and both index fingers. (Total of 8 scans) This way it works practically any way I hold it or even if its in my car mount.

Mine (AT&T) only has 4 fingerprint slots available....

 

[Kelly Kearns]

I only have four on my TMO variant.

Happy with the Note5? Very! This is the best overall phone I've ever had and I've had a bunch and swung "both ways" if you know what I mean. I will say that I use the S pen a lot though so that is a huge factor in my choice. I'm not sure I can ever get away from the S pen I love it so much. I tried going back to iPhone with the 6 but I missed my S pen too much and I've really gotten used to having the choices Android based units give you. With the Note 4, I found I was using lots of mods like Nova and such but with the Note5, I keep trying things and then resetting back to stock TW. I really like TW on the Note5 and with the theme packs you can really just enjoy the phone as is. I think Samsung really got just about everything right on this phone. I know some don't like the missing IR, removable battery and storage but just isn't an issue to me so far (especially with the 64gb model).
Great phone!! Highly recommend!

Yeah. Mine has four slots too. What I mean by 8 scans is, for instance left thumb. Scan several times till it got to 50% then flip finger the opposite direction. So 50% of the scans are thumb facing left and 50% the thumb is facing right. Was able to do this for both thumbs and both indexes. Four slots, 8 scans.

Had it for a little over a month and love it. Typically make it the whole day without needing to charge. Came from the iPhone 6 and no big complaints. Like others I'm disappointed with the non removable battery and no SD storage. Maybe Samsung will realize their mistake and change it for their next wave of Galaxy phones......Probably not.
