Hi Note 5 XDA Community ,
I'm currently using a Galaxy S3 and is thinking about upgrading my phone in the near future.
Personally I liked the S Pen alot and the reason why I went for S3 instead of Note 2 is because Note 2 is out of stock in my country for ages few years back.
However from the battery life thread I found out that the battery life for Note 5 varies alot.
I can get 3~4 hours SOT on my S3 and on my sister's Samsung J7 she can get 8~9 hours SOT per cycle.
Battery life is really important and I understand the Note 5's specs is way out of the J7's league and also the charging speed for Note 5 is alot faster.
If you were me , which would you go for? The Note 5 is about 2.5x the price of J7 in my country with J7 being around 899MYR and Note 5 being around 2200+MYR.
No don't go

Posted this on the note 2 forum also.
Probably been asked a thousand times.
But in real world usage. Is the note 2 worth twice the note 1
I can buy a note 1 with extras cases batteries etc for about £200
Yet a note 2 with nothing else are around £400-420
Does the 2gb improve the multi tasking
Does the quad core improve gaming and general usage lots.
Is the spen more responsive on the note 2
Is the screen smaller width a problem.
Have owned a note 1 before and loved it.
imo real advantage of note 2 over note 1 is it's screen quality as note 1 is rg-bg note 2 is rgb-rgb.
Note 1 with JB its awesome... And can hold you some months until the new smartphone era comes.. Have you seen the galaxy S IV rumored specs?
Tapatalking on my n7000
Wow have had lots of response from the note 2 forum members. Hardly any from here. Think perhaps the note 2 is the way forward. Got to have a decent community to join. As well as a decent phone. This place used to be great. Guess things move on.
The same will be the case when you ask the same kinda question in note 2 community when the s4 or note 3 is well settled.
People here are using note 1 and there using note 2. If you ask here about comparison, ppl will only talk about note 1.
Now the questions you asked are about note 2 and a person who has a used a note 2 and note 1 will only be able to answer.
Don't judge the community for not replying to comparison questions.
Ok fair enough. I guess the note 2 community have had the chance to try both. Sorry slap me and tell me to shut up. Problem is I really prefer the note 1 design.
Nothing offensive m8
If you gonna buy a new phone now, go for a latest one, or if you can wait for couple of months better phones are gonna come.
It all depends, does quad core and 2g ram js really needed by you in day to day life. If yes go for it. It's a wonderful phone as far as I know from the people who has owned both

Since you have made up your mind for a Note 5, just go for it
had every note before and was annoyed like crazy that the note 5 didn't have a changeable battery and sd card slot. However I was so bored with the note 4 as had it from launch, so in Dec bought the 5. Battery is very good (all day easily), 64gb is useable if not a pita with the gear VR, but overall its fast, reliable, good s pen and good looking....if only I could change the battery and not be memory restricted....hint hint Samsung.
Is it me, or have literally NO phones come out that are worth upgrading to?
It is not you ?

You are not alone my friend, I was thinking about note7 but I'd prefer my house not to burn down.
I even heard of 1 instance that the s7edge started on fire in guys pocket so i dunno.
Note 5 is still a beast and with note 7 roms, not much reason to upgrade. Keeping my eyes on those PIXEL phones tho....maybe
S7 edge made me jump. As much as I loved using the Note 5 as my daily, the battery life and compact body is what brought me to the S7 edge. Still have the note 5 kicking around though.
One thing that annoys me about the s7 edge is the lack of any really competent and worthwhile screen protection. Even wet application is peeling for me. But I much prefer the micro sd expansion and larger battery to care.
No. My rooted Note 5 runs just fine, so I'll stick with it. I'll wait for the Note 8 or 9 before I upgrade.

am asking because i want to buy galaxy Note 5 duos,,& also had Galaxy Note 4 n910g ,which is dead now coz of Motherboard failure,so please guys help me to know that note 5 duos is safe,thanks
I am using the Hongkong Version SM-N9200 (previously I had the Taiwanese SM-N9208). I have a custom deodexed rooted Grace UX 6.0.1 ROM running with complete dual SIM support, all LTE frequencies working and even Xposed Framework on top.
Everything working pretty fine and without any problems, no wakelocks and pretty good battery life with around 1,5-2 days with several hours SOT.
In my opinion the Note5 is even now (it is 1,5 years old now, or maybe nearly 2) a very good choice and a good everyday companion!
Hi.
As in subject.
I have Note 5 from 2017. Few monuth ago i buyed Note 9- overall of course better from 5 but Note 5 is still good phone. I back to five for few days. For me better from Note 9 is s-pen. He is thicker, more massive than note 9.
Next is flat screen. Definitely writing is more comfortable.
Then is overall looking and colour front and back. My is Gold platinum. In light looking silver-white and anyway isn't booring like all new samsung phones from s8- all black front.
My note still working in last stock 7.0. I flashed last build for TUR from end 2018. Now i can make note in screen off like in note 8/9 without any mods. Then install newest touch wiz, messages app, contacts, camera 6.95 with new icon and now software looking like Note FE.
So anybody have note 5 for daily driver?
I own a SM-920I since late 2015 and on nougat and stock. Have to take back up every once in a while to free up the space though. Haven't found reason to upgrade to a newer note yet but the new S10 plus is tempting. Planning to flash custom recovery to make the phone work on VoLTE.
I am still using my N920P unlocked for my T-mobile sim card. Just order an original battery from Samsungparts to test out the TRUE CAPACITY via usb amp meter multitester in another post of mine.
Recently i've been obsessed with phone battery's real capacity... I will move to note 9 real soon but still want to use N920P for the time being
Sadly, me too. I'm waiting for my 2 year contract to end in a month or two, then I'll go with the Note9. This POS was crappy from the Beginning. Just 32 gb with no expandable storage, Puny 300' mAh battery. Meh, It was the only Note I could afford at the time.
I am using SM-N920C with khongloi rom. Haven't yet considered upgrading the device as it is still functioning properly except the battery wear after 3 years of use. i still love it.
I just sold my note 5 N920C because 32gb storrage and 3000mah battery is just not enough in 2019.
Looking forward to buy note 9.
The Note 5 Is a Pretty Phone
But It can't be future proof at all.
32 GB of SD Card Is a Big disappointment for Long Use.
Granted its More Beautifull than My Note 8 , But Honestly I always felt kind of disappointment with only 32 GB SD Of Storage I kept Constantly Deleting My Data.
If they make a Note 5 like Phone but with SD Slot and Dual Camera I might buy It.
but honestly the 32 GB Of Storage makes it Impossible for Any one to Record Several videos , Play Games at same phone.
A Cheaper Option that would last Too Long Is now the Note 8.
The Only Negativity is the Speaker is not as Good as Note 9 other than that The Note 9 and Note 8 are identical.
I'll be buying note 9 soon. But i just spent $50 just to order a OEM replacement battery from Samsungparts... Because all of the aftermarket batteries i bought didnt live up to 3000 mAh.
And maybe it is just me 32 Gb for me is enough i always backup stuff to computer so i do not need more space.
Not many people out there that are like me still saying 32 GB is enough storage nowadays lolzzz
It looks like I'll have to unlock this phone (a Sprint version) as our business is going to TMobile... no free phones, so will have to make this work.
That said, any hints from others re good custom roms for an (unlocked Sprint) T-Mobile Note 5? I love custom roms... but with Sprint they are all but nonexistent. TMobile looks more promising, but am curious what folks have found.
I am still using my note 5 lovely.
~3-4 SOT as always. My battery changed ~1.5 years ago.
I am using my paid-to-unlocked Sprint Note 5 on T-mobile network currently. They have special software to unlock these Note 5 But i think that software is nowhere to be found over Internet
I'm still rocking my T-Mobile Note 5 64gb SM-N920T rooted still running Nougat. I need a ROM with reliable Bluetooth and WiFi. . .
