That Note 5 looks good

Getting in before the Apple theatrics in Sept

 

[lucifir]

the S6 edge just came out like 3 months ago and already its outdated ... well done samsung on competing against urself :wtf:

 

[blunt]

+1 for the Note 5, looks good.

 

[satanboy]

Dimensions:

S6 Edge+: 154.4 x 75.8 x 6.9 mm
Note 5: 153.2 x 76.1 x 7.6 mm

Qe? The S6 is longer than the Note!?

 

[FiestaST]

I'm I missing something...is the *only* difference between the Note5 (no space; rather dumb) & the S6 edge+ the S-Pen?

 

[CAPS LOCK]

I watched the fanfare live on youtube - I'll never get back that wasted 50 minutes of my life. It was like watching a CEO excitedly marketing a wheel as the best and newest innovation in the whole world ever to a group of F1 drivers....fckng bleh

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ came out at the same time.. well done Apple on competing against yourself. :wtf:


They're not competing against themselves, not everyone wants huge phones like this, they're catering to different markets.

I think Samsung may be testing the waters with this one, trying to see just how much of a factor the S-pen really plays. I think they want to see if people buy the Note phones for the size or the S-pen functionality. If S6 edge+, for example, completely crushes the Note 5 in sales they may conclude that the size is what people really want and discontinue the Note line.

 

[satanboy]

I've used the pen 5 times tops.

So a S6 edge+ may be in my future.

 

[Spotja]

Yay! A new phone to the already saturated market. Should I ditch my flagship from 3 years back? Nope, I'll pass

and the sloping edges.

 

[tRoN]

I had a note once...did it have a pen?

Seriously I hardly used it...silly gimmick.

As a wise man once said....

 

[RazedInBlack]

When is the S7 coming out?

 

[Dlamaqhinga]

When is the S7 coming out?

Early next year (Feb / March).

 

[WaxLyrical]

Is there a slot for the pen otherwise its a rather pointless device.

Edge will easily outsell the note.

 

[Toxic T]

I got my note 4 a few months ago and looking at the specs on the Note 5. I rather stick with the Note 4.

He's also the one who said that nobody wanted a large screen phone. And Apple was never going to go big screen while he was the big honcho. Now look at their success with the larger screen iphones....

Firstly it's about girth, not length...

And I agree with the pen bit...I have the Note 2 and never use the pen, just liked the size. Also S6 for me.

I, on the other hand, use my stylus quite often. Almost everyday. I was on a call once and needed to jot down an address. Didn't need to look for a pen and paper. After that I said I probably could never go back to a phone without a stylus. Still rocking a Note 2.
