Here's the so called upgrades. Screen Size: Same 1-1 Screen Resolution: Same 1-1 Dimensions: Smaller (better) 1-2 Battery Capacity: Smaller 2-2 Main Camera Resolution: Same 3-3 Front Camera Resolution: Better 3-4 CPU-GPU: 20% Faster (Exynos Model) 3-5 RAM: 1GB Extra 3-6 Expandable Storage: None 4-6 Removable Battery: None 5-6 IR Blaster: None 6-6 Capacity: Same (32Gb & 64Gb) 7-7 Price : More Expensive 8-7 Winner: Note 4 So there you have it, Samsung took equal features to the ones they upgraded on the Note 5. So if you're upgrading, please do so it's your money after all, but do not kid yourself it's only because the Note 5 is nicer looking. Oh, and I didn't mention durability, drop that note 5 and you're out of luck so slap a case on it and have people not even know it's a Note 5.

That is a very uniform approach to rating, everyone values things differently. I for one value design, longevity of specs, battery life (notice how I didn't say battery size), software (lighter in newer samsung phones, and the screen (amoled, big, high resolution). I also value the camera but most flagships do it well anyway. I've never used a flagship with a removable battery/SD card so I don't care about it that much (but understand why people do).

Sergio Velasco camera software is also important factor when determining picture quality, the note 4 does uber sharpening (relative to others) which isn't always desirable. They seemed to have toned it down on the s6 so probably the note 5 as well.

It's funny that people keep saying previous Notes were defined by their removable battery and SD card slot. This is totally incorrect. The S series also had removable batteries and SD card slots as well, so these features certainly didn't "define" what it was to be a "Note." The Note series is defined by and has always been defined by a very large screen and an S pen.

There's no upgradeable memory in the Note 5. I keep running out of memories for apps and media because I'm limited to 32 Gigs of memory now. The battery is now internal and there's no way to perform a hard reset by taking your battery out. Not only that the battery is smaller therefore it drains a lot faster than the Note 4 does.

The note 5 is just a blow up s6 with a s pen. This is good and bad. The note has always been more powerful then the S series. My only complaint is it had the same processor as the s6. Not any faster just a extra GB of ram! In my eyes the no SD card is a bummer but I could live with not having one. An SD can't be used for apps usually but the biggest thing is it amazing for multi media. I keep all my pics and videos and music and moves on it. Witch is great because then I done need to go spend extra money for extra storage since I already have a 64gb SD card . A SD card is something a multi media junkie like me loves and hates to see go!

To be fair, the processor is already a beast and the extra gig of ram is a worthy upgrade. Personally with my 32gb s6 I use a Corsair Voyager usb to store movies and photos, it's no real hassle (and you can use it on most devices eg. tablet) unless you need heaps storage for music streaming. Understandable though, I've only used an SD card on a phone with 4gb rom because it was needed.

I'm staying with my note 4, I am not convinced I need to switch, the note 4 is still one the most powerful and capable phones out there, the note 5 lost me by excluding the expandable storage and removable storage, the notes were different and should always stand out from the s line, Samsung just didn't include enough to encourage ppl to switch.

to be honest, i think that the note 4 is better than the note 5. the note lineup was designed for the power users, the people who are willing to sacrifice design for functionality. now the note 5 takes 2 big things away, the removable battery and SD card slot. now the note 5 is just a larger s6 with a stylus. very dissapointed with it, and i hope that samsung's note 6 will be the true power user phone, with a huge removable battery, 2 sim cards, sd card slot, stylus and more things for power users. if the note 6 is a thick, heavy hunk of power, with a 5000mAh battery, and all those other power user features, it will be THE phone of choice for power users, even more than it already is.

I will not get the note 5 for these reasons. 1 no removable battery. Sure you could carry an power pack I suppose and accomplish the same thing. But having no removal battery reduces the life of the device. When the battery dies in the note 5 you will have to upgrade not so in the note 4. 2 no SD support. I use my SD card to save music and movies so I don't have to use my dater to retrieve it. I also store my pictures on it. Sure you can use cloud storage for these features however the clouds is not always safe. 3 built quality. Sure the Galaxy Note 5 is a beautiful glass sandwich phone. But I have to feel it's a fragile phone and you would have to use a case. Who to use a case on such a big phone? I will concede there are features on the phone that are great like being able to push the home button twice to activate the camera and taken the S Pen out and taking a note without turn on the device. However in my opinion these features do not makeup for what Samsung has taken away. In my open the note 5 is a downgrade from the note 4. So my advice to you is if you have to have a note Go buy the note 4 or go get the LG G4 or wait until the LG pro comes out. Hopefully Samsung will return the SD card and removable battery in the note 6 until that happens LG is the new king for the power user.

I would have to do more research to be honest to know if your correct or not. as far as the second point is I believe the HTC One max has a metal frame and it was removable. also the lg g4 has leather back and its removal. my point is you don't have to have a plastic back to have a removable battery and even if you did its better off being plastic then being removable then glass and being non-removable!

advantage of having a removable back is when the battery finally completes it's life cycly and is due for a change, one can easily go to a mobile accessories market and buy either original or an OEM (for at least half the price), the same is not possible now + it needs to be done at samsung stores only thereby paying additional service charges & tax. "affording a costly mobile = affording an original battery and service charge" is not a justified counter.

There are ways of getting around the absence of the SD card with the note 5 and yes, the ability to swap out the battery on my note 4 is nice but I never got around to buying the extra battery, nor have I really had the need with fast charging. For me, the IR blaster, believe it or not, has proven extremely useful and I would really miss having it. Also, in my humble opinion, I think the 4 actually looks better than the 5 and feels more durable. I prefer the combination of materials on the 4 and I've dropped it a couple of times (no case) in the year and 3 months I've owned it and theres barely a scratch on it. Sticking with my 4 for now.

Most people who talk bad about the note 5 do so because they haven't spent a week with one, they just take what they perceive to be bad changes and rip it up without experiencing it for themselves first. But as a former doubter, I must admit I was wrong its way better then the note 4 and 3 before it and is well worth the upgrade.

Coming from a college student who still has his outdated htc sensation 4g from like 2011, I will finally be buying the note 4 tomorrow. Both devices are spectacular in their own ways, but, the note 4 suits me better in every aspect as a student. The note 4 has a removable battery, sd card slot, ir blaster, good battery life, amazing display, amazing build, kick ass camera, and not to mention it's a lot cheaper. I'm not the heaviest of users, compared to business men who constantly get updates on their phone around the clock, but I do use my phone for school, video recording lectures, Facebook, snapchat, kik, youtube, etc. I think the note 4 will do way better, battery life wise, for my lifestyle. And since I do video record my lectures, I can easily swap sd cards and never worry about space. I went to Best Buy and got to fiddle with both phones, and I have to say that the note 5 did feel 100x better in the hand, (i felt like i could even use it with one hand) but it didn't really feel like it was worth 200 bucks extra for that feel. (the note 4 is now $550 and the note 5 is almost $700) (Not to mention, after a while, looking at the note 5's front, I felt like i was looking at the note 4, idk how to explain this, but to be plain, the fronts looked similar and it didn't feel like anything spectacular) I think Sammy didn't really take that much of a leap forward this year with the note 5. Although I do like that they are cleaning up touchwiz and improving their fingerprint scanner and s pen, I don't think that's much of a deal maker. I doubt I will ever use that new s pen feature, I've heard the sliding fingerprint scanner on the note 4 has improved greatly, the cameras are so similar, even the displays are still on par. I am not fully amazed at the note 5, and I do not like the direction sammy is going with their non-removeable back phones. Hopefully Samsung will learn from their mistakes, like they did with the Galaxy s5 and do a complete and awesome revamp next year with the Note 6. (Fingers crossed)

I was a Note 1 and Note 3 owner, now I'm most excited about the Huawei Ascend Mate 8 announcement. Samsung has disappointed me in so many ways with the Note 5, and the biggest for me, and the reason why I won't be getting one, is because they stuck to the same screen size. After 2 years of dealing with a 5.7 inch screen, I now want more. Mate 8 at 6 inches will be a great phone. If all the rumors come true.

So I have a Note 3 and I wanted to upgrade to a 5 but it really doesn't seem worth it. This is BIG, off my last update when i take my s pen and my phone is off it instantly goes to the main screen where the spen options pop up. One of them is action memo. Literally it is three click difference from the S5 to write a note. One to click action memo, one to save action memo and one to shut off the phone again. The only reason I feel I need to switch is that one game I play lags just slightly and there is one part of my screen that is harder to write on, something wrong with the sensor. Is it really worth a few hundred bucks though?

Personally I have seen Samsung after-sales service in India is very Expensive, even when there is a software issue the sales service manager writes in a Motherboard failure and mandates a new Motherboard. The same applies to Batteries and other parts. Considering the Battery is not removable if there is a problem with the battery it would be very expensive to replace. I think Note 5 is more of a option to Note 4 for the ones who use Data Storage (like me who has a huge Music and Video Stash) Note 4 > Note 5. I still think Samsung should go back to the Basics and put in the features like FM, expandable storage, removable battery back into their future models as it would bring the Edge to the iPhone, Nexus and OnePLus(X) in the future.
