Where have you been all of my life?! Great review, here's why: you were very clear from the beginning exactly what information you were going to provide the viewer, and you succeeded on every point, you were clear, concise, and not wordy, you provided great information and backed it up by actually showing us the functions that you spoke of, you were interesting, you didn't waste my time, and you left me highly informed. You gave me lots of information to help me be at peace with whatever choice I decide to make regarding keeping my Note 4 Edge or upgrading to the Note 5. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Easily the best comparison video between these two handsets that I've watched! Thank you for the hard work. I was originally hellbent on getting the Note 4 (because of the removable battery), but after watching this (and others), I'm definitely going with the Note 5. I will just have to look at storage options and figure out a way to optimize battery performance.
i just cant be convinced that Samsung -reduces the size of the battery - removes the removable battery feature - removes the expandable storage option - does not increase screen size - does not increase resolution - does not increase pixel density of camera then releases this note 5 and calls it a upgrade from the note 4. i rooted my note 4 and added a dr.ketan rom that gave me all the features of the s6 months ago, so i have had the software upgrade running for months. Samsung have not sold me on this phone. i really enjoyed the comparison vid saki great work
xda forum. dr.ketan rom includes s6 and note 4 features. i will be checking for note 5 rom for note 4. for rooting i watched youtube videos on how to do it. scary at first but just make sure you read all the instructions carefully and follow them step by step.
Video extremely thorough and informative. It definitely made my decision easy. Since I don't use the game and music apps much at all I have little need for SD expansion. And I especially like the fingerprint efficiency and the wireless charging. Wireless charging seems to be the next generation phone charging service. As my previous LGG2 began to age I was feeling very uneasy when it came to charging the phone with the wire connection in particular in the dark ...Did I have it turned right and inserted properly, type things..... I'm definitely sold on the NOTE 5 by Samsung and I always admired the camera and phone of my wife's Galaxy 5.
This guy clearly prefers the note 5, did you guys noticed how he clearly didn't positioned his finger in the middle of the scanner on the note 4 so the fingerprint doesn't work properly? I have the note 4 and I can say that with the 5.1.1 update the fingerprint scanner works seamlessly.
another thing you lose is ease of mind. I'm in my last semester of undergrad and with walking across campus and sometimes needing to just throw my phone in my backpack naked or with a case, I know my note 4 is going to survive whatever I take it through. Not that I don't treat this phone like a child, but some days life gets hectic. That "premium build" on the note 5 is asking to be covered with an otterbox from my point of view and then the build becomes absolutely meaningless on most occasions, if not a hindrance. There aren't too many updates from the note 4 that would make me want to switch and I'm a fingerprint sensor and camera loving girl, but the note 4 beyond suffices for me. And as a college student who doesn't want to be plugged in but may need to "power use" my phone on certain days, expandable memory and a removable battery is kind of a necessity at this point in my life. The note 5 is beautiful and I know it's probably a great phone, it just isn't nearly as practical as the note 4.
+Alex G yasssss im glad im note the only one that feels like this lol....most people i see with "premium builds" theire phones are shattered...when i throw on that case i doesn;t matter anymore...plus i need my zero lemon battery...i used to work 16hr days and i need as much life as i can get
+MasterOptimus85 well after I posted this I went and played with the note 5, and I might just be getting it, lol. It's still not as practical hardware wise, but software wise I really do like it better. Lollipop killed my note 4 in a lot of ways and I don't want to wait 3 more months for tmobile and Samsung to fix the issues. I may regret it later, but a good fingerprint sensor and badass camera may make it alright. Plus, I've put up with all of the note 4's problems for this long, so I'm just gonna jump ship, lol. Forgive me.
+MasterOptimus85 well my battery took the biggest hit and there is some kind of wifi bug for me, though it could just be my house's wifi honestly. I'm really over the recent apps lag and apps reloading especially since this is my last semester and I've decided to do everything on my phone this semester. The keyboard was crashing all the time, and I love the stock keyboard for the most part, but I think the stagefright update fixed that. It's still an awesome phone for the most part, and I will miss the removable battery and SD card expansion, but the lag and battery draining is getting to be too much. I almost got an iPhone because I was just so tired of it a few months ago, lol. But it will never be that bad. I think the note 5 is a great compromise so to speak.
+Alex G i do like the new air command...other than that idk really I dont take a lot of pictures lol...I think I'll be good with the note 4 I want my super battery lol...note 5 looks good though...whenever you get it give me and update on how you like it
Very helpful before buying a Note 4. It confirmed my decision on purchasing a Note 4 for way much less money than a Note 5. I rather give it a little time to prove itself also. I like to have control over battery removal and SD card use. Thanks a lot.
That's a great comparison. I love how good it is. It's so hard to find a good review on youtube these days without Indian accent. But as someone said, it's worth to mention the Note 5 lacks IR blaster.
Why would I buy Note 5? Note 4 with Note 5 rom or with some other custom rom could be better, cheaper and more features. Note 4 with 128GB sdcard, and ZeroLemon battery is a beast, that's my opinion.
+DoctorFreakHW you are backwards. all about the note 4 with qhd screen with 16mp rear and 3.7mp front also with snapdragon 805 with custom rom it's a beast!
This Samsung Note 5 is SO PERFECT except for two things. (Btw, I don't own a Samsung Galaxy Note 5) The back design- it's slippery, it's nice, but it's slippery. non-expandable SD storage- THIS IS KILLING ME. This is what's holding me back from choosing this phone. Like really, Samsung?
Batman U can buy a usb adapter that can house an external sd card and move all videos, photos and apps to the sd card freeing up ur internal storage. the adapter costs about $10 and u can attach it to ur key chain. youtube search expandable memory on note 5.
thanks thanks! You told me a lot of stuff I didn't know about my phone, the Galaxy Note 4. I also only Galaxy Note 2, and I think these are the best two phones that Samsung has ever made. all of the other ones come with a sacrifice of something, whether it's your radio your battery or your memory.
The Note 5 does not have infrared blaster, micro SD card, and no removable battery. This is why I had no interest in getting a Note 5. I kept my Note 4 instead. Why pay more for a device that does less? I actually use the IR blaster a lot and my micro SD card. The removable battery is a huge plus because I always have one charging and simply swap out the battery when one gets low. I do not think I will be getting a Note 5 ever.
AWESOME EVERYDAY I just got an upgrade to marshmallow 6.01 last month. Perhaps it is your carrier that simply decided to not send anymore updates. I got an upgrade on the fingerprint scanner, the camera and the operating system. The camera really needed it. It focuses much faster now.
awesome job with giving us the comparison, video was outstanding. I'm due to upgrade to another phone and was considering to go in to the Note5...but seems like I will not be getting much from one to another. and it's too bad that the memory on the note 5 is not expandable, that really disillusioned me.
I started out with the note 2 then the note 3 this last year note 4 which I truly loved upgraded last week to note 5 it is 10 times faster then my note for and the camera is phenomenal
Love your video man ! great comparison. Keep it up :) PS. At the end, after the geekbench test, you said the Note "4 " was definitely faster than the note " 4 " lol
Very good review. One thing though which may disappoint Samsung. Most reviewers forget to mention Samsung Pay on newer devices. Samsung clearly see this as the one of the main features which should distinguish it from their older devices. It was supposed to be so important to the rxtent pig overshadowing the lack of SD expansion and removable batteries on newer devices. Why are reviewers ignoring Samsung pay?
I was confused about which one to get for an upgrade, but I've made up my mind, Note 4 may not be as sparkly as the Note 5. But at least it's expandable... Maybe the Note six will be expandable..I personally think they blew it with Note 5 not being expandable.
I have to agree, the IR blaster was a nifty feature, but the rest of the other issues like a removable battery can be answered by an external battery pack, and as for expandable storage one can use OTG drives/card readers.. more convenient in my opinion.. but somehow wished they'd gone with USB type C already though.
Thanks. Great information. I just purchased a new Note 5 with 64 gb storage on ebay for $260. I have had 4 Note 4's and there has been a problem with all of them. I think the Note 5 will be faster and superior to Note 4 in every respect. 2018
no SD Memory expansion is a deal breaker! after a month of use... it will be slow and glitchy! go for the note 4! plus it's comforting to know you can change the battery if need be!
Aaron Crawford. After any major system update, you are supposed to factory reset and start all over. After lollipop update my Note Edge was crashing apps, draining battery and overheating like crazy. Got fixed after factory reset. I read that it is strongly recommended to do so for any android phone.
Wireless charging can be easily done buy changing Note 4's cover (like S-View wireless charging cover). Plus there is no IR on Note 5. I'd say if you want the "style" (which basically means you just want to show off and don't really use the phone that much) buy Note 5. If you use your phone all the time - buy Note 4.
can someone please tell me how a fragile, shatter-prone glass back is "better build quality" than a durable polycarbonate one?...these online 'tech' reviewers are full of sh*t jumping on each other's bandwagons with their warped perception of what's 'premium'...smh.
Hey buddy good short comparison. Actually I am planning to buy a great phone.. I want ur suggestions.. I am planning for Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Sony xperia z3+ or Sony xperia m5 dual. Which should I prefer as I am going to use it for heavy Internet, mails, few games and music, camera. Kindle let me know ur opinion or else any other phone u suggest...
mr sakitech, great comparison. just one question, if one has a moderate budget, is the note 4,, better value than the note 5? the note 5 64g, is very expensive in our country. and the 32 g note 5 would be too little storage in my opinion. is the note 5 32gig, that amazing that one should forego the expandable memory? jeremy
No memory slot and no IR sensor are deal breakers for me. Others have need for that battery changeability. The IR sensor also allows you to sense ambient temperature which can be quite useful at times. Wish you could shown the Note 5 running high video with the new video chip, I am sure the feel in the hands is important to some but everyone I know uses cases.
thank you so much for sharing, and i would ask, if i buy samsung note 5 and i use it for many years than i got problem in battery can i fix the battery? or there is no way to open it? just like iphone it can be changed, thank you :)
No SD Card expansion... Removable battery? Galaxy Note 4 reigns supreme :p My favourite of the Note lineup it is the last with a reasonable design and reasonable price!
great video! I'm trying to decide on N4 or N5. I've had a Note 2 for two years now and it's still.a great phone. However I want to upgrade. Any suggestions would be great. I'm open to other phone suggestions as well.
has anyone else noticed how phenomenal the camera is in the note 5 it blows my notes 4 all to pieces the camera is better than a $2,000 professional Cannon
Well, this review has missing parts. You can see he got sponsored to claim that note 5 is better bla bla bla. He missed out a very useful hardware, which is IR Blaster. I forgot where I keep my remote controlls of my TV's. Got the widget on the lockscreen in a bubble. So much faster and cleaner. And with lollipop 5.1 note 4 gets better score and faster SO.Also, the fingerprint scanner works 95% of the time, which is considered very good.
Hi! I was have a note 4, until the freezing, and rebooting, so no reason to buy a new note 4. Im using my old S4 now suddenly. I would like to ask, i should to buy note 8 if its coming out, or the note 5 is enough and even better maybe i meaning for durability... Thanks the information, and opinion! :D
Im about to buy a Samsung note product for 1st time, but as I thought, note 4 is still the best. Note5 looks cool, if u have being using iPhones for a long period of time - I mean it looks more like of a contra model to Apple, then an improvement of Note4. I'm buying the 4th - leather on the back and chome frame...ahhh so cool
I have the note 4 and the Samsung WiFi broadband that can plug in give more battery life if note 4 needs it.a flash drive could be used I believe with the note 5 and extra battery time plug Samsung broadband device in to the note 5 .would be great if you could have a built in hand crank charge device in all smartphones for emergency even a non cellular walkie talkie feature if cell phone outages in major quakes talk back and forth. I even thought how neat if you had 2 cell phones in one that could call the other in case you needed tech support to fix the other .also the color accuracy at sunsets was a problem at different focal lengths with what you see with your eye and what you see captured with the picture you take.very noticeable when you take pictures and notice as you tilt your camera you get different variations of what your eye sees and what the camera sees can be very different pictures of the sky a good test with sun in the background sunrise sunset oranges turn to yellows inaccurate color accuracy and also orange and reds.would be great dslr.built like as a camcorder with super zoom could take close ups of the moon ,stars,etc.more night vision capabilities needed.yiu have a rather large area on back of phones to include big wide camera lens could be compatible with a cannon or nihon in future.also the foreign language capabilities of having 2 phones in one and any languages on Google translate to be able to be learned and spoken out.if you travel would be a wiz if your phone could accurately translate and what about the taking videos problem if you need a stand to extend and tilt your camera at yiu like if you record yourself playing piano and if your able to listen to any sound on your phone,music,speech able to play back slower faster speed controls over record and play back.another issue in color accuracy is neon lights so that between sunsets and nightime neon lights yiu could at least be able to capture what yiur eyes see or adjust edit color anywhere in the picture after or before pictures taken.more share via features would be great.
Note5 CONS: -No SD -No replace battery? -Breakable non replacable rear glass. Why introduce another repair variable on something you don't need to..Without even a repair option? -Front face cam is not a plus with increase rez, unless you're supermodel. Lower can be easier on the eyes for those selfies or vid chats. -Less actual batter power _Also not mentioned you lose the remote/IR Blaster PROS: -Sketch direct without launch is nice -Wireless charge is nice -Looks a touch better. They missed the chance of using an alloy back which would have been great. -Less bloatware ? -Snappier- faster That lack of SD slot and glass sealed back is a deal breaker!
+cybertec69 it still works and won't get corrupted. I agree with you though and wish it still had the sd card but I still love the note 5 more and is ok using a flash drive instead
my point on that is I shouldn't have to do that with a 800 phone. that's something that should have never been taken away. 250 dollar phones have expandable storage. but a 800 dollar phone had it in its previous models then takes it away? makes absolutely no sense!
your review is really awesome and understandable. ..thanks so much ...i want buy new smart phone but im just confused i like 2 device s6 edge plus and note 5 wich is better. .pls support me such as friendly
Im an existing note 3 user and after watching this, i think im upgrading to note 4. I just cant accept the fact that theres no micro sd expansion. I love storing music and vidros so this is a huge letdown of note 5 unfortunately.
When note 4 came out, it was an upgrade of everything completely. Note 5 is also an upgrade but in some areas... and downgrade in many... therefore im sticking with 4
I prefer the Note 4 with expandable memory and the option to the change battery, i think Samsung is making a big mistake with its new phones, taking these options away, they are trying to be more like the Apple Iphone.
Also watch iPhone 6S Plus vs Samsung Galaxy Note 5: th-cam.com/video/EDA4l5Jloo4/w-d-xo.html
you forgot to mention that note 4 has ir remote control note 5 don't have

Where have you been all of my life?! Great review, here's why: you were very clear from the beginning exactly what information you were going to provide the viewer,
and you succeeded on every point,
you were clear, concise, and not wordy,
you provided great information and backed it up by actually showing us the functions that you spoke of,
you were interesting,
you didn't waste my time,
and you left me highly informed.
You gave me lots of information to help me be at peace with whatever choice I decide to make regarding keeping my Note 4 Edge or upgrading to the Note 5.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Easily the best comparison video between these two handsets that I've watched! Thank you for the hard work. I was originally hellbent on getting the Note 4 (because of the removable battery), but after watching this (and others), I'm definitely going with the Note 5. I will just have to look at storage options and figure out a way to optimize battery performance.
i just cant be convinced that Samsung
-reduces the size of the battery
- removes the removable battery feature
- removes the expandable storage option
- does not increase screen size
- does not increase resolution
- does not increase pixel density of camera
then releases this note 5 and calls it a upgrade from the note 4.
i rooted my note 4 and added a dr.ketan rom that gave me all the features of the s6 months ago, so i have had the software upgrade running for months.
Samsung have not sold me on this phone.
i really enjoyed the comparison vid saki great work
How and where did you get your note 4 rooted and dr. k rom?
xda forum.
dr.ketan rom includes s6 and note 4 features.
i will be checking for note 5 rom for note 4.
for rooting i watched youtube videos on how to do it. scary at first but just make sure you read all the instructions carefully and follow them step by step.
well said
Only if everyone understood this and refused to be taken advantage of Samsung would have no choice but to give us the Note back.
DaMarcus Bell I bought the LG G4. I won't buy the Note 5
I'm going to Note 4, because micro sd card slot, removable battery, ir blaster & premium design
Bert Manalili Same
Note 5 is extremely better.
Watching this on my Note9. Amazing how phone's have evolved throughout the years.
Sakitech makes THE BEST videos regarding comparing mobiles! simple, easy to understand, no bullcrap just straight to the point.

Looks like it he did center on first then look liked he had something to drink on the second haha
@@framelawncare6671 Note 5 is much better.
Great video. One other significant feature that the Galaxy Note 5 lost was the IR Blaster. No more universal remote for all of your media devices.

Excellent reviewer. Straight and to the point, detailed information and comparisons. Subscribed!
Note5 and S6Edge+ on deck for purchase friday. Time to retire my Note4 and NoteEdge till Android M update.
You clearly can't afford anything close to me if I gave you the money.
You're essentially worthless in society cybertec69

Great review! I'm note 4 owner and my girlfriend planing to buy a note 5. Thanks a lot!

i believe you can now take quick note with your s pen on the note 4 now too! Not sure about the quick camera access though
Love your video man ! great comparison. Keep it up :)
PS. At the end, after the geekbench test, you said the Note "4 " was definitely faster than the note " 4 " lol

Only liked the video because of that perfect circle you drew on the screen! ;)
my sister bought note 5 yesterday. And yes, It is a freakin fast phone. the camera is just beyond great
Great review! I appreciate you being thorough.
But Note 4 also has the 8 cores version (N910C)...
thank for the info now I got the complete answer that which one should I buy...
Thanks. Great information. I just purchased a new Note 5 with 64 gb storage on ebay for $260. I have had 4 Note 4's and there has been a problem with all of them. I think the Note 5 will be faster and superior to Note 4 in every respect. 2018
Awesome comparison.. I bought note5 after seeing this vedio
no SD Memory expansion is a deal breaker! after a month of use... it will be slow and glitchy! go for the note 4! plus it's comforting to know you can change the battery if need be!
I agree. I bought a LG G4. love it. removable battery, SD card slot and IR Blaster and awesome camera
The Note 4 was a great phone.. until the Lollipop update. Not sure what happened with that update but I had so much trouble after that update.
please tell us the problem..
Aaron Crawford. After any major system update, you are supposed to factory reset and start all over. After lollipop update my Note Edge was crashing apps, draining battery and overheating like crazy. Got fixed after factory reset. I read that it is strongly recommended to do so for any android phone.
Won Seok Chung exactly. I did that for Note 4 and S6Edge and it worked.
just factory reset your phone and watch a video on TH-cam called How to spend up my note 4.
Wireless charging can be easily done buy changing Note 4's cover (like S-View wireless charging cover). Plus there is no IR on Note 5. I'd say if you want the "style" (which basically means you just want to show off and don't really use the phone that much) buy Note 5. If you use your phone all the time - buy Note 4.
FULLY INFORMATION INBETWEEN BOTH PHONE MANY MANY THANKS
Excellent review, you missed one additional item, the Note 4 also has an IR blaster which the Note 5 does not

Brilliant diction and articulation. Bravo!
The Note 5 I'm told allows you to sign/markup PDFs. Is this something the Note 4 can do as well? Thank you!
Hey buddy good short comparison. Actually I am planning to buy a great phone.. I want ur suggestions.. I am planning for Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Sony xperia z3+ or Sony xperia m5 dual. Which should I prefer as I am going to use it for heavy Internet, mails, few games and music, camera. Kindle let me know ur opinion or else any other phone u suggest...
get the note 4 or note egde
great presentation of the note 5 both phones are great products.
Excellent Excellent Review, You Deserve to be called a Professional my Friend, Thank very much.
mr sakitech, great comparison. just one question, if one has a moderate budget, is the note 4,, better value than the note 5?
the note 5 64g, is very expensive in our country. and the 32 g note 5 would be too little storage in my opinion. is the note 5 32gig, that amazing that one should forego the expandable memory? jeremy
No memory slot and no IR sensor are deal breakers for me. Others have need for that battery changeability. The IR sensor also allows you to sense ambient temperature which can be quite useful at times.
Wish you could shown the Note 5 running high video with the new video chip,
I am sure the feel in the hands is important to some but everyone I know uses cases.
I have a Note 4 and I am looking at the note 6 which will be at june ?july. Please can you help me with this
Excellent Job on this review....Thank You
Note 4 Is best !!
Good stuff very informative, thank you!
thank you so much for sharing, and i would ask, if i buy samsung note 5 and i use it for many years than i got problem in battery can i fix the battery? or there is no way to open it? just like iphone it can be changed,
thank you :)
@ 6:38 you had a custom skin on the Note 5, can you tell me what's the skin and where you got the background wallpaper from? gladly appreciated
No SD Card expansion... Removable battery? Galaxy Note 4 reigns supreme :p
My favourite of the Note lineup it is the last with a reasonable design and reasonable price!
good video. ...nice, honest and unbiased!
You made a mistake you said the note 4 is on the left but that's the note 5 but nice video bro I like your review and comparison
great video! I'm trying to decide on N4 or N5. I've had a Note 2 for two years now and it's still.a great phone. However I want to upgrade. Any suggestions would be great. I'm open to other phone suggestions as well.
+DJNoelNice i just bought a note 4... going to wait for note 6 or 7.
+moriyama815 you're coming from what phone?
DJNoelNice iphone 6 LOL. fuk apple
has anyone else noticed how phenomenal the camera is in the note 5 it blows my notes 4 all to pieces the camera is better than a $2,000 professional Cannon
I have a note 4 I love it the question is is the Samsung Galaxy s 7 that much better in your opinion?
Well, this review has missing parts. You can see he got sponsored to claim that note 5 is better bla bla bla. He missed out a very useful hardware, which is IR Blaster. I forgot where I keep my remote controlls of my TV's. Got the widget on the lockscreen in a bubble. So much faster and cleaner. And with lollipop 5.1 note 4 gets better score and faster SO.Also, the fingerprint scanner works 95% of the time, which is considered very good.
best review by sakitech
Very well done! Thanx.
Thank you. Very well done.
I'm finally getting my Note 4 tomorrow, so ready. I'm sick of my iPhone!!
So how do u like it?
I will buy the note 4 soon
very very good job love it just to helpfull for me
Hi! I was have a note 4, until the freezing, and rebooting, so no reason to buy a new note 4. Im using my old S4 now suddenly. I would like to ask, i should to buy note 8 if its coming out, or the note 5 is enough and even better maybe i meaning for durability... Thanks the information, and opinion! :D
Why is there an Apple Macbook in the background ?? playing with subconscious mind while advertising Samsung lol
What theme you using for the note 5?
great vid bro!
on 4:22 why the video on the note 5 stutter? while note 4 playing smoothly?
"while the note 4 feels like a million bucks, the note 5 feels like 2 million bucks" i wonder how million bucks feels like.
The rom on Note 4 was also 5.0.1 vs. Note 5 5.1.1. I dont know if that helps speed.
Thanks for the review
You did not say anything about the location of the speaker and the buttons
Thank you
thanks a bunch i really did fantasize about the note 5 haha u got me and thanks
Im about to buy a Samsung note product for 1st time, but as I thought, note 4 is still the best. Note5 looks cool, if u have being using iPhones for a long period of time - I mean it looks more like of a contra model to Apple, then an improvement of Note4. I'm buying the 4th - leather on the back and chome frame...ahhh so cool
I have the note 4 and the Samsung WiFi broadband that can plug in give more battery life if note 4 needs it.a flash drive could be used I believe with the note 5 and extra battery time plug Samsung broadband device in to the note 5 .would be great if you could have a built in hand crank charge device in all smartphones for emergency even a non cellular walkie talkie feature if cell phone outages in major quakes talk back and forth. I even thought how neat if you had 2 cell phones in one that could call the other in case you needed tech support to fix the other .also the color accuracy at sunsets was a problem at different focal lengths with what you see with your eye and what you see captured with the picture you take.very noticeable when you take pictures and notice as you tilt your camera you get different variations of what your eye sees and what the camera sees can be very different pictures of the sky a good test with sun in the background sunrise sunset oranges turn to yellows inaccurate color accuracy and also orange and reds.would be great dslr.built like as a camcorder with super zoom could take close ups of the moon ,stars,etc.more night vision capabilities needed.yiu have a rather large area on back of phones to include big wide camera lens could be compatible with a cannon or nihon in future.also the foreign language capabilities of having 2 phones in one and any languages on Google translate to be able to be learned and spoken out.if you travel would be a wiz if your phone could accurately translate and what about the taking videos problem if you need a stand to extend and tilt your camera at yiu like if you record yourself playing piano and if your able to listen to any sound on your phone,music,speech able to play back slower faster speed controls over record and play back.another issue in color accuracy is neon lights so that between sunsets and nightime neon lights yiu could at least be able to capture what yiur eyes see or adjust edit color anywhere in the picture after or before pictures taken.more share via features would be great.
Note5
CONS:
-No SD
-No replace battery?
-Breakable non replacable rear glass. Why introduce another repair variable on something you don't need to..Without even a repair option?
-Front face cam is not a plus with increase rez, unless you're supermodel. Lower can be easier on the eyes for those selfies or vid chats.
-Less actual batter power
_Also not mentioned you lose the remote/IR Blaster
PROS:
-Sketch direct without launch is nice
-Wireless charge is nice
-Looks a touch better. They missed the chance of using an alloy back which would have been great.
-Less bloatware ?
-Snappier- faster
That lack of SD slot and glass sealed back is a deal breaker!
you can use an expandable flash drive for the note 5. there are different ones that can help expand the memory for pictures, movies and music
+cybertec69 it still works and won't get corrupted. I agree with you though and wish it still had the sd card but I still love the note 5 more and is ok using a flash drive instead
my point on that is I shouldn't have to do that with a 800 phone. that's something that should have never been taken away. 250 dollar phones have expandable storage. but a 800 dollar phone had it in its previous models then takes it away? makes absolutely no sense!
+cybertec69 that's what I've being trying to get across to people
+Vernon Warren EXACTLY! !! I couldn't have said it better myself! Thank you!
+Perry James Carson anytime
where you get that clock widget on the note 4???
Outstanding Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is also an octacore version of Note 4 (4x 1.3ghz & 4x 1.9ghz exynos)
your review is really awesome and understandable. ..thanks so much ...i want buy new smart phone but im just confused i like 2 device s6 edge plus and note 5 wich is better. .pls support me such as friendly
Got Both Note 4,5 even s6 love them thats why i still stick with samsung
that's the best video. thanks
My note 4 (N910c) is also octacore, an exynos version. Not worth of upgrading to note 5. I will wait for the note 6.
Hi and thx for the video , I need your help , how can I change my Google Play account to American ? Pls answer and thx again :)
perfect review..thanks bro
how good is the front facing camera for the note 4? still good selfies? lol
Very informative video.
Im an existing note 3 user and after watching this, i think im upgrading to note 4. I just cant accept the fact that theres no micro sd expansion. I love storing music and vidros so this is a huge letdown of note 5 unfortunately.
When note 4 came out, it was an upgrade of everything completely. Note 5 is also an upgrade but in some areas... and downgrade in many... therefore im sticking with 4
whaats buy note 4 or 5,samsung c7 pro,iphone 6s plus,j7 pro,oneplus 3t and asus zenfone 3 deluxe
I prefer the Note 4 with expandable memory and the option to the change battery, i think Samsung is making a big mistake with its new phones, taking these options away, they are trying to be more like the Apple Iphone.
