Went all the way to Bugis to try my luck on getting the redemption from M1. But sadly no more redemption and decide to wait awhile long for the other colours to come.

Maybe Comex show will have gd deals. Can't wait to join the Note 5 bandwagon :D

but doesn't that mean once your screen is off, you won't receive WhatsApp messages..

yeah got, its a paid app. I think $2.
it really helped me achieve outstanding standby overnight. 1% drop the most but too bad it works up to KitKat only as lollipop has some restrictions.
can't receive any WA notification till the screen is on.

the battery life is considered good as the display is QHD plus battery size of 3000mAh.

personally, my usage is just browsing and music (via speaker/earphones), on nova launcher as its cached background process is only 60 MB ( fluctuates) compared with TouchWiz of 100 MB.

my complains on this flagship, physical home button ,battery standby is not good which likely to be caused by the number of samsung bloatwares (though they have cut it down). battery dropped 1% every 90. mins last night when I wasn't using it. Android OS is the culprit, which might be related to the bloatwares.

as long as each % is able to last 6 mins of screen time, its good. which means about 8hrs at 20% left.

of course I have spent a bit of time disabling a number of apps.

Personally I love it that Samsung keeps the physical home buttons!

Any feedback on the low - light performance of the Note 5 cam? Went to the store to take a look at the phone but cant quite tell how the cam will perform in low light when the store is so bright. Lol. Saw some clips of the video capabilities. Looks good!
here u go bro... Some photos I took at the Singapore Night Festival, at the National Museum.

All are taken with Auto mode, except the yellowish tinted bird photo which was taken with Pro mode. Actually, the photo taken with Pro mode is closer to the actual setting. I didn't have much time so..my apologies for the less than perfect photos. Enjoy :)

EDIT: Oops on hindsight, I think my photos are compressed.. Will upload elsewhere in full quality later.

Anyone knows how to reconfigure the long home button press via the official settings, without having to use 3rd party apps?
