My note 5 battery life can last very long

Could hardly count as a benchmark. Clearly you have rarely used it at all as the gaming time and screen on time is the same as your whatsapp??? Come on lets be real.

I dont think that 1gb more ram will be much more significant as note 5 has additional features like spen than will take up more ram. Instead look at the difference in screen size and also functionality of the spen to decide which one is right for you.

If u do not need S pen, then just go for the S6 since u like its shape. (Just my own opinion)

Go with your heart. Best is play with both demo sets and see which one suits your needs the most.

I have used both. So far I've found the note 5 faster when it's performing well, but this might be just down to what I suspect is faster animation speed. But it has some quirks like taking a long time to wake once in a while, likely due to deep sleep issues like some members suggested.

I also found the note 5's camera a tad more finnicky compared to S6 when i had it a few months back. Has a slight tendency to over expose shots when you tap to focus, something I don't recall seeing on the S6.

Fingerprint sensor also seems a bit more consistent on the S6, maybe due to the bigger size. Making the button harder to reach.

S pen features like screen off memo and the long screenshot is super useful, and something I use daily. So note 5 wins hands down.

To me its down to size, price, and S pen. If you like lower price and smaller size more. S6 if you like bigger screen, find s pen useful, and don't mind the higher price, note 5.

I honestly can't tell the difference between 3gb and 4gb phones since I don't switch between/multitask a lot games or intensive apps frequently.

Could it be due to screen protector? I ever tried a cheap fully covered SP (claimed to be glass, but actually feels like plastic) on my Note4 previously.

Visually was horrible under sunlight. After removing that SP, it was so much better.

Not sure about Note5 tho'.

Just sharing my past experience.


my Note5 no screen protector yet, and under sunlight my Note5 screen is kinda "reflective" so gotta tilt to read the screen..

on screen protectors, the many different types and brands r just mind-boggling.. dunno wat/which to choose... :s22:

New cover ... looks a lot like Ringke Fusion ... the cover at bottom covers the charging port and the 3.5mm jack ^^
