Samsung Galaxy Note 5 + Wireless Charger + Battery Pack - Just Unboxing

Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 5 - its fastest phablet ever. Samsung's Note range of 'productivity' phablets is one among the top consumer electronics products that has seen a gradual evolution to greater usefulness with time and Samsung is very proud of it, so it should.
Getting rid of plastic means the Note 5 is also noticeably lighter and slimmer than the Note 4. At 7.6 mm and 171 grams the Note 5 is closer in line to the iPhone 6 Plus. More importantly, the Note 5 is a 5.7-inch phone and it doesn't at all feel that way. The lighter and slimmer frame along with 'good' ergonomics mean the Note 5 is easier to operate while on the move - something that a business user won't mind.

The Note 5 carries the same screen as its predecessor: a 5.7-inch QuadHD Super AMOLED display with a 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution and 518ppi pixel density. While QuadHDs don't necessarily mean 'better' output (our eyes can't discern beyond FullHD), Samsung's Super AMOLED displays have built a reputation for themselves on the positive end of the spectrum. The Note 5 is bright and crisp to look at and has excellent viewing angles (in indoor situation where we tested it). The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4.

The Note 5 is powered by a 2.1GHz Octa-core Exynos 7420 processor coupled with 4GB RAM and runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out-of-the-box with the company's new TouchWiz Ui on top. The new UI has visible reduction in bloatware with app/widget icons getting a fresh coat of paint as well.

The Note 5 will have two internal memory variants: a 32GB and a 64GB with no microSD card slot. The Note 4 had one.

Moving on, you don't need to power up your phone to start using the S pen. Mere ejecting it opens a black window where you can take a note (or write a memo) that you can then save or delete as per your wish. Also, the phone would remind you if you haven't attached the pen back in once you've turned it down (like before).

The 'smartness' doesn't end there. The Note 5's stylus comes with a new and improved Air Command option that's more intuitive than before via a floating icon that you can access and move as you like. Also, it supports shortcuts (three at max) in addition to the default note-taking stuff. Moreover, you can now write on PDF files as well.

The Note 5 sports a 16-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilisation, autofocus, and LED flash (just like the Note 4). But, things have been different ever since the S6 came along on this front, so we are looking at something on similar lines (and an improvement over the Note 4). The phablet also comes with a 5-megapixel front camera.

Another compromise the Note 5 makes over its predecessor is a smaller battery. The Note 5 uses a 3,000mAh battery (the Note 4 had a 3,220 mAh battery) and it's still non-removable.

There's little doubt that the Note 5 is smarter and sexier than the Note 4 and is easily the best Note ever, on paper. It does come with a few compromises, and it is still not water and dust-resistant, but when you look at the broader picture the positives outnumber the negatives on this one. Second point to note is its mammoth pricing: Rs.53,900 for the 32GB variant and Rs.59,900 for the 64GB variant. Samsung justifies this by saying that the Note 5 is a one-of-its-kind phablet in the 'productivity' segment of phones. It may not be entirely wrong when it says this. Also, it suggests that the Note 5 is not meant for everybody. For the 'select' few it's targeting, the Note 5 might still be bang for the buck.
