Samsung Galaxy Note 5
gas and community here and this is the Galaxy Note five so the latest and greatest from the big smartphone lineup from Samsung with this latest in the note series most of the biggest changes and most of the new stuff with this phone is just outside it's with the new design language the new look of the hardware and just how different looks and feels then the last note we now have an all metal and glass phone on the outside so chamfered metal rails on the sides of the phone antenna bans on the top and the bottom and curved all glass back that's both much prettier but also potentially much uglier when you inevitably get a bunch of fingerprints on it this thing is a fingerprint magnet is available in four colours southwire bluish gold a white and my personal favorite the titanium grey since it shows the least fingerprints you're probably noticing it's taken a lot of this design language from his little brother the Galaxy S six so sealed back no removal or expandable anything then metal edges to hold on to you and now his larger size I think the Galaxy Note 5 takes the crown for these slippery as phone of all time both in the hand and in the pocket I saw it slipped out of my pocket in cars more than any other phone and it's like a bar so sometimes I pick it up it's crazy it's definitely one of those phones were you probably don't want to change the texture on the back to make it easier to hold or to hide fingerprints so people might think about buying a case for this phone but it's already such a big phone that you probably don't want to be even bigger in a hand to the easiest way to change the text year without adding bulk would be asked in a live link to the skins that I like to use from D brand regular that like button you can pick both the text year and a new color you want yes so this is the look of a Samsung flagship now shiny glossy and ultimately more premium looking I also like they kept working on footprints of the Galaxy 2005 is actually a bit smaller than the note for thanks to a very thin side bezel and other things like you know the headphone jack placement and the fingerprint sensor and the buttons are all excellent the buttons like the Galaxy S six are super clingy and tactile and satisfying easy to press are definitely still constitutes new design 01 there's no IR blaster anymore not sure why I didn't really use the one on the note for a ton but it was nice to have been 2013 a smaller non-removable battery and no expandable storage you see things on the field I such a big deal because of the National comparison to the predecessor the guys you know for which had a larger removable battery and a microSD card slot so kind of feels like you're losing features while moving up a generation and storage isn't a huge deal to me because I can work with 32 gigs but if you want to take your music collection offline or if you take a lot of work a video then you're probably start filling up pretty quick and I'll talk about the battery life more in a bit speaker at the bottom of your not blocking it is loud and fairly impressive but I hold my phone like this and I sometimes blocked the speaker and when I accidentally do it's actually amazing how much it suffers obviously don't know immediately when you're blocking it but it's almost comical how pretty much you can mute the speaker by putting a finger tip over the speaker grill since it's so small anyway on the front of the stand the note 5 as rockne 5.7 inch 2560 1440 Super AMOLED display so an awesome quite easy resolution super sharp pixel density excellent brightness to the point where it's plenty readable outdoors great viewing angles really saturated but adjustable colors and spans pretty much to the edges of the phone with the super thin vessels it is the best display on any smartphone right now so you liked screens than having such a great display has always been a strong point for the Galaxy Note and that's no exception here and the suspects inside push all those pixels just fine in fact that Johnson 05 is again a beast in the suspect apartment bringing up a lot of the top hardware from the Galaxy S six and pretty much all the boxes so I Sakura x&o 7420 chip above up to 4 gigabytes of RAM the 16 megapixel camera from the Galaxy S six that was so good with optical image stabilization and an F 1.9 aperture NFC AC wifi lte-advanced the whole package only specs than they look like a downgrade on paper or the move from that weird usb3 port back to the USB 2.0 on the bottom and a smaller three thousand million power battery it may sound weird to say that i three thousand million power battery is small but for such a high powered device and such a big bright high-resolution play kinda expected more my battery life on the Galaxy Note 5 was pretty decent not great it was a lot better than the Galaxy S six which was abysmal but I would give this I read it somewhere between three and a half to four hours is going on time sometimes more which time I use your phone like this is a semi is trying to make up for that nine removable battery with wireless charging which is much faster than before and fast charging which is super awesome on the stump so if I'm about to head out and I saw myself as low battery I can legit plugin for like 10 minutes and have significantly more power before I head out now obviously this isn't a hundred percent solution for a sealed in battery but it's a pretty damn good one and I'm usually around a power source rock and plug in my home where my car something so I understand if thats charging now pretty much the rest of this phone is a scaled-up version of the Galaxy S six experience is the latest version of TouchWiz on top of Android 5.1 and it's still pretty good performer in the same way as yes six you can grab the theme from the team store to make it look more or less like stock Android if you want to and still have all the Samsung Apps pre-installed stuff like s health to measure your heart rate and fitness with you want all the other sabz s voice s note and then it has the software features that are unique to the new so the multi-window on a larger display still great works with a bunch of apps still not 100% compatibility but it is helpful if you want to multitask and get two things done the same time and then of course you can't forget the stylist spen I might be thinking hey wait that's weird how do I get it out of the phone if
it's embedded like this will Samsung built in a clicking mechanism in the pen for getting it out so I think though that clicking mechanism being so good doesn't actually do anything it's just kind of addicting know every year I give it a shot and with that we get an improved spen every time I try to give that a shot but I was just end up using it the same way which is just like my fingers just like a more precise version of it since the TIPA smaller if you are an avid S Pen user you will notice stuff like is improved the menu when pulling out of the stylus is updated and functionalities improve things like the S memos you can pin any note to home screen now which is pretty dope something you couldn't do before and also new feature in screen right called scroll capture so if you want to take a screenshot of something that's more than one page say a multi-page document or at all web page or something like that instead of taking multiple screenshots and having to share them all you can you scroll capture to merge them all into one huge tall screenshot which is actually pretty convenient and my favorite feature is the most convenient when the screen is off you can pull out the S Pen and immediately start writing on the screen sort of like taking a pen and notepad idea pocket and using it to take a quick note and then when you put the pen back in it automatically saves whatever you just wrote which is very handy for remembering put things for later also side note you may have heard about a little problem where if you slide the S Pen in backwards it breaks so don't put it in that way that's what she said look at you can get past the slippery hugeness of this time it's pretty hard to go wrong here my favorite two features are the display and the camera just play right now I guess it is the best on any smartphone and a camera now is also arguably the best on any available smartphone here are some shots I took in my view weeks using a note 5 as a daily driver just casual snaps obviously optical image stabilization and some sharpening in post-production makes for some of the riskiest smartphone photos of all time even in low-light I could take handheld shots with a slow shutter speed and still get crispy stuff out of auto mode it does have a promoter feeling like digging into it but for the most part people use their smartphone cameras and auto and the note 5 is great at that the one of the smartphone I think that may come close to the note fired in terms of image quality is the OGG for in manual mode but the note 5 does in two seconds in auto what can take anyone else 10 seconds feeling in manual mode so you gotta hand it to Samsung for that so yeah their habitats the note 5 the seal Beck and smaller battery gonna make it feel less like a power users dream phone that we had in previous notes and more like a bigger version of their already kind of big premium flagship Galaxy S six that's why I'm calling it the Galaxy S six plus not that there's anything wrong with that it's a pleasure to use an absolute killer on the spec sheet but yeah just a new different direction for the new series but it still absolutely the best phone that Samsung makes right now thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys next face.
