And how's the battery holding up, guys?

My first standby time drop 5% overnight.
battery life isn't desirable as S6. :/

Anyone note 5 with tempered glass SP having lines around the edges?

For me the phone feels much better in hand. Thinner, and less wide, so I feel more comfortable typing one handed while in MRT. lol. The design is a huge improvement also, the curve at the back makes it nicer to hold. But fingerprint magnet.

Screen looks better than Note 4 too. When the Note 4 launch, I thought that was great looking already, then came the S6 and the Note 5. Other than the amount of RAM, processor and camera same as S6 right? Performance has been great so far. Seems to me like Samsung sped up the animation time to make the phone feel faster. Every thing seems fast on the Note 5 compared to the S6, which was already pretty snappy.

I still see occasional stutter now and then, most of the time it's with Hangouts app, like press a chat, it can take a few second to open, but i'm guessing that might be due to the recent app update rather than the phone.

Phone doesn't seem to get hot as easily as it did on the S6? anyone else feel the same?

Battery life.... so far feels weaker than the Note 4 and maybe even S6, which is the only complain I have of the Note 5 at this point. But will test it further while I continue my review. Will try power saving mode also.

If battery cap at 3500mha or at least 3200.

Battery dropped 6% over 10hrs last night for me. Pretty good idling drain I would say!

Yeah I can attest to the handling. This is the first phablet that I've used that doesn't feel like a phablet both in hand and in pocket!! Haha

As for the animation speed, it does seem faster!

last year contracted with Singtel and got Note4. today I checked my recontract eligibility, I need to pay 350$ if recontract this year. why? I have Fibre Entertainment Bundle with them, I though it will be free to recontract every year..... is the policy changed?

Because it still less than 1 year. Note 4 launch on Oct 2014.

I could get 4hrs Screen on time with S6. I'll see how much I can get on Note 5.

 

[qw_er_ty]

Anybody know how much note 4 can sell nw ?

[harky]

[Livewings]

Just an important tip for you buying Note folks that iPhone users have been waiting for.

 

[newouverture]

I disagree. S6 battery feels better. Note 5 weaker.
