Samsung could have done what other manufacturers like Oppo have done and make a tray that can take both the micro-sd card and the sim.

you do realize they get rid sd card slot so the phone can have much faster internal storage

[@alwaysarcastic]

+Robert Lamoa I understand that, but since I keep media like podcasts, music, videos and photos on my sd card, it is something that I looked forward to. Memory cards are cheaper than internal storage.

[@rezaimran98]

They did that with the A8 but I don't know why they didn't do it here.

[@hendrixsena2840]

I thinks most Note 3 and 4 users (like me) will be disappointed with the lack of expandable memory / battery. I've got a 128 Gb slot in mine and it works a treat. The spare battery is a joy to have when out at wedding, parties, safari etc. I am still puzzled as to why Samsung could not have honoured a memory slot. Battery you can probably get away with a portable charger (faster 10 mins. charging right!), but SD Card is a MUST for most. Looks like I just have to wait for Note 6 when they WILL introduce expandable memory and the mighty S Pen "stuck" will be resolved with more enhancements and probably add dual stereo speakers! Sept 2016 please come quick!

[@Yungknigth]

+Richard Harkness I just got the phone yesterday. I'm coming from a Note 3 which I tried and was running custom touchwiz ROMs two weeks of owning it. Last six months I have been running Cyanogen. I can't go back to non stock. Now I love love the camera on Samsung best hands down. However after a taste of the optimization, fluidity, and speed of stock I was hunt for a stock phone with good camera. This Moto X Pure camera is just as good in daylight. Night time with flash could be better if they program lens to let in more light out open longer. Night shots with flash are just as detailed if not more than Note 3 but it isn't as bright as Samsung. Like I said this can be fixed I believe with some software optimization. Multitasking is better than my Note 3. Still pacing battery life but turbo charging is nice very clutch. Still amazed with the multitasking. I have bamboo back and it isn't slippery which I thought it would be. Very nice and premium feeling. I couldn't notice any weight difference with my Note 3 which has a glass screen protector. The bumper it came with seems flimsy but it is pretty solid once it is on. Once you figure out how to put it on it is pretty easy. Hint phone goes in from the back on bumper. I was waiting for Huweai nexus but I decided customizability was bigger for me than having a "Nexus". Grip is better due to curved edge than Note 3 even though save screen size. Reception is much better. In my office where I had LTE but no bars I now have 2-3. I'm on T Mobile in Atlanta area. Speakers are nice caught myself trying to cup it like I used to do and I lol'ed because this is front facing. I thought having on screen button would duck since real estate is taken up but in fact disappears when you need it to. Have to get used to button layout. I prefer having volume on other side but I can survive lol. Front camera is good with flash and surprisingly it isn't blinding week not to my eyes. Maybe light sensitive ppl will have a problem. It did run warm like first 30-45 min when I got the phone due to downloading 94 apps and me trying to do everything I could on it. After that no problem. Liking the motto display. Not new to it I had so called dynamic notification. Screen wise amoled v LCD. They are both great. Moto has more pixel so seems sharper. It is warmer in time than Note. Going to see if I can tweak it. I like cooler colors. Oh I have no trouble typing on it with it laying on table which I thought I would.

[@Returntotheworld]

+Yungknigth Woah there! I wasn't expecting a review but wow thank you!! I'm coming to it from the OnePlus One and CyanogenMod. Trouble for me is I can't recall now what features are android and what's CyanogenMod lol! Not that I'm touching the software on it. Really glad the bamboo feels good as that's what I went for too. Thanks for the tip on the bumper case which I think I'll use. I want to feel the wood texture after all, putting a full case on it would be pointless.

Why would they switch back to USB 2.0?

[@connelangusrice3635]

Because of the less-savvy Note 3 users who were complaining about it. They'd lose their micro-USB 3.0 cables and were totally unaware that it was backwards compatible with all of the micro-USB 2.0 cables that they had laying around everywhere in the house. So they ended up with dead phones and complained to to Samsung. Samsung then went back to USB 2.0 with the Note 4.

+Connel Angus Rice I'm not very sure it's only because of that, or it would have been very stupid, they could simply have made a pub in which the UBS 3.0 was shown as a advantage for its rapidity, &, a special motion to show the retrocompatibility, which would have been a double advantage here! Like that, it seems there isn't any inconvenient, so the USB 3.0 must have a compromise part. That's just my view :)

[@connelangusrice3635]

Bob Coco well... lol... of course it's not just only that. There are a few reason why, and that being one of them (the stupidest one). Samsung felt the bulk of their consumers weren't really taking advantage of the Note 3's USB3 capability. Samsung did say their users who called in didn't even know what USB3 was and thought it was a new fancy unneeded connector and that they wanted the old more compatible connector back because they had a bunch of micro-USB 2.0 wires laying around. SMH

[@bobcoco6047]

Connel Angus Rice ok, you may be right, I trust you on it anyway, even if I still find it's a waste, since it's not that hard to explain to the mass in 1min what's USB 3.0... ^^

[@nuthanielz]

ikr i really hate how this phone and all samsung phones are like perminantly samsungified with skins and bloatware. ;-;

[@randomaccount53793]

+Nate L. (Nuclear Lasagna) Not really, just root it (not in the Australian way) and install a custom rom, there are plenty to choose from depending on you're tastes. You can always change it again if you don't like it. There is a degree of risk though.

[@the_legend_of_kira2438]

+Alex Rafe its hard to find a root tool and custom rom that works because the new Samsung phones use an exyons ( probably spelt that wrong ) processor which most phones don't so there isn't allot of support from custom roms

[@nuthanielz]

Alex Rafe i know you can root but i am afraid my info could get stolen or my phone could get wiped and my daily backup failed.

[@alvierahman90]

+Nate L. (Nuclear Lasagna) just don't be stupid and you'll be fine. is you are unable to root it you probably don't have the intelligence to have a rooted device.

[@GameTesterDev]

I still have this phone... It's amazing how well the camera held up

[@ned_yah]

I have the Note 4, and the Note 5 doesn't give me any reason to want an upgrade.

[@lordcron]

Can't remove the Battery, Can't expand the Storage, and the IR Blaster was removed as well?!...... So why isn't this actually a step down From my Galaxy Note 3?! These are pretty major features that got removed!...... I'm sorry but..... It's just a bridge too far for me. LG promised to keep it's removable batteries and expandable memory. Here I come LG........

[@quimbertoambriz2931]

Ok, Buy an LG then

[@mommmycat]

[@adisar2002]

good luck with the ui

[@ksumar]

+lordcron Spot on Lord, I agree 100%. Design is only one aspect. Its the features of the removable battery and expandable storage which we all need. Lets wait for Note 6 !

[@EstaDePiPi]

+lordcron cause there competing with the iPhone 6S plus, which you can't expand the storage same with the battery, lol they figure if Apple makes millions, they can to, and thats why the GS6 was a flop and is this phone, and its a shame i actually really liked the Galaxy Notes, and this coming from an Apple user in general,

[@MrKobus-rz4qy]

I have the note 20 ultra now but man, do I really miss the note 5

hey Marques. Samsung fones slow down over time. it has been a while since the note 5 came out. Has it slowed down ? Was thinking to buy and that's the only problem I was thinking of. I have been using a nexus 5x, it has been as good as day 1. Not sure about the same with a Samsung Note.

[@zachcline7555]

Yawo Elevn I want the note 5 really build quality is so nice but I rather 128 gb sd Card and battery kit support

[@yawoelevn]

Who Dr that's exactly why I didn't buy the note 5. It's amazing but you can't use your own memory card.

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

I had one and it was by far the worst phone I ever owned. Laggy since the beginning, boot loops, and bricked itself without any rooting or drop damage. That was across 3 different notes I owned.

[@sunnykimmy]

I have this one too. I've had it for about 2.5 years. After 2 years the battery started acting up though. It would jump from a full charge down quickly. Then I got a "new" battery that was a little better. No more jumping from a full charge to 50% or 50% to 20% and then 0%. But the new battery doesn't charge full. Yet it would have lasted me. It's just that a drink I had with me leaked on it in my bag and now I need to see whether it will turn on in a few days. If it does it can easily last me 'til December or later. A nice 3 years or more. I'll just have the charge it often. Then I may be able to get a Note 5 or S8. Or maybe even the Note 8. If it's good and I can afford it. The Notes are my personal favorite. Oh, the fingerprint scanner on the Note 4 I own also stopped working recently. My phone started freezing and I wouldn't be able to unlock it with the fingerprint scanner or the backup password. I think it had just become too much for my phone to handle. So I deactivated both and now use the swipe unlock. Which works perfectly. But the fingerprint scanner was pretty accurate and lasted me over 2 years. The paint at the sides is also peeling but that's not that important. All in all it's a great phone. It stayed in top condition for 2 years, it has a fantastic camera. I got the Note 4 initially for the camera. It takes great pictures, even through a microscope, which I needed. And the screenshot and S pen feature allows me to write on screenshots of the pictures I take. Not to mention that the optical image stabilization feature makes it easier to take high quality pictures even at hard angles and/or with shaky hands. And I actually love the feel of the faux leather back. The sound is okay, not too soft but also sometimes not loud enough when using without earphones. The earphones that came with the phone lasted me about a year or a bit more. But that depends on the person I think. I tend to be rough on my earphones. In other news, my sister has a Note 3 that she's still using and she's had it for almost 4 years. I think the only thing that's a problem at this point is the battery. The usb 3 port charger it came with stopped working after a year or 2. But I think she uses a external hard drive cable to charge it now. The regular usb 2 charger just charges it too slowly. All in all Samsung phones tend to be great. You just need to make sure to have a cleaner/ antivirus on it and clean it by removing pictures etc. before it gets too full. And put it down for a bit when it gets too hot or install a cleaner app that can also help with cooling the phone. One that you can run whenever the phone gets hot. Mine is/was still as quick as when I first bought it (before the fluid incident). It only froze up and had the fingerprint scanner stop working when I was on vacation and didn't remove all the excessive pictures I took in time even though the phone warned me it was low on space.

[@jacobtheslayer8159]

[@ninhbac04]

For such a bid device you'd think they'd consider putting a bigger battery in it.

[@bowdymisener]

+Chris Taylor my battery last me all day and some. it's not always about the size but how they used it

[@the_legend_of_kira2438]

+Chris Taylor same I can get 5+ hours with auto brightness and the slider at half

[@pamelathornell3368]

I have this phone and I use it every minute of the day, it lasts all day for me at half the brightness. plus if u use it at the highest brightness, it may give u a head ache. so I think it has a pretty good battery.

[@theunknownbeing7]

It's called a more power efficient processor.

[@ninhbac04]

YuneShik It's not the efficient if the battery life is just meh and nothing to brag about.

That battery life is piss poor. Also, you still use Spotify even though it turned evil in the privacy department recently?

with power saving and auto brightness you can get over 5 hrs

[@HaryosoRiyadhi]

so this phone is an upgrade but also a downgrade from the predecessor at the same time?

[@NewKingBrandon]

depends on the person's needs and wants, but yes

[@HaryosoRiyadhi]

+NewKingBrandon so Samsung IS copying apple... at making bullshits that is...

[@RyanCGames]

+Haryoso Riyadhi Here we go with "copying apple..." Samsung had the phablet with a stylus, and now Apple has a phablet (6 Plus) and now they recently introduced the Apple Pencil for *$100*. Seems like Apple is copying Samsung.

[@leinaddf]

+RyanCGames couldn't agree more

[@TerryTerius]

it all depends on what your needs are. If a removable battery and microSD are your primary concerns then get a note 4 or LG G4. Otherwise, at least in my opinion; the note 5 is a superior phone in virtually every imaginable aspect. It feels better in the hand, is less unwieldy, has the theme store (which isn't the same as using launchers), has a better UI, charges faster, has Samsung Pay (soon), looks better, has a better camera, and operates faster and more smoothly. Keep in mind, I'm not someone who uses Micro SD cards after two of them failed on me and I lost a huge amount of content, nor have I ever used the replaceable batteries on any phone I ever had. But like I said, I respect that everyone has different needs. If you truly need microSD and a removable back this phone isn't for you. If those aren't a big deal? It is absolutely an awesome phone.
