Having come a long way since note to note 4 including edge, holding the note 5 makes me feel like it's a brand new start again. A design that grows on you, a screen that is better than the last best, instantly makes my note 4 feel like donkey years ago.
While it may look like a step back, losing the most practical features, but isn't it call moving with the time? You can't possibly have a flexible glass that pops open for your battery change. Cloud storage and cheap otg, with easy to transfer files on Android platform, these are viable workaround for on-board only storage.
It's surprising I'm liking it despite having the same concerns like many who voiced out. Hmm..
Fast wireless charging using the new wireless pad, that's like a first! With Cat 9 LTE, up to 450mbps and possibly launching with Singtel 4G, things are getting interesting.
