As the fourth successor of the product that defined what a phablet should be, Samsung Galaxy Note5 is arguably the most radical release in the product family to date.
The newcomer marks a noteworthy departure (no pun intended) from all of its predecessors in terms of both design and available hardware features.
Top notch specs are always to be expected from a Samsung Galaxy Note and the latest iteration surely delivers on this front. The Galaxy Note5 packs the most powerful chipset in the business, the fastest memory, and one of the best cameras around. The S Pen is here too - clickable and more productive than ever.
Brand new look and premium materials ensure that Samsung Galaxy Note feels as premium as its hardware requires. Take a look at the full list of key features the Note5 has to offer below.
Key features
- 5.7" QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) Super AMOLED display with 518ppi
- 64-bit Exynos 7420 chipset with 14nm architecture; octa-core CPU (quad 2.1GHz & quad 1.5GHz), Mali-T760MP8 GPU
- 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM; 32/64GB of UFS 2.0 flash memory
- Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with TouchWiz UX
- 16MP f/1.9 camera with OIS; Auto HDR; 4K video capture; IR white balance detection sensor, Pro mode and RAW shooting
- 5MP f/1.9 front-facing camera
- Cat. 9 LTE network support; WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (2.4/5GHz); GPS, GLONASS and Beidou; Bluetooth 4.2; NFC; MST mobile payment support
- 3,000mAh non-removable battery; Qi (WPC) and PMA wireless charging support
- Fingerprint scanner
- Heart-rate monitor
- Redesigned clickable S-Pen
- Metal chassis; Corning Gorilla Glass 4 front and back
- Wired and wireless Quick Charging
Main disadvantages
- No microSD card slot; no 128GB built-in memory option
- The battery is not user-replaceable
- No IR port
- No enhanced resistance to liquids or dust
- No stereo speakers
- The body of the smartphone is quite slippery without a case
- Not available in key global markets (at least for the time being)
The combo of a beefy Exynos 7420 chipset, ultra-sharp Super AMOLED display, and speedy memory should hardly catch anyone by surprise. The setup debuted on Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge and is yet to have its performance matched by a rival.
Dropping the memory card slot and the removable battery from the Note5 specs surely raises eyebrows - both hardware features have been a staple for the product family since day one. Samsung appears confident that the bevy of available charging options will keep users happy.
