In Note 4, the lag is unbearable while in Note 5, lag is rare!
Hi guys,
Is it possible to install a port of Note 7 on a note 5 N920A? I'm not interested in anything in advance with regards to rooting, I just want my note 5 to look exactly like the note 7 interface. I know it can be done on other note 5 devices which are rooted but is it possible on the At&T even though the N920A can't be rooted?
Thanks
Has the Note 5 been discontinued?
In South Africa it seems that stock is running low? GSMarena says "Status = available". My Note 4 got stolen and I don't know whether to wait and hope that Samsung will do the sensible thing and produce the Note 5 in a 128gb version or to go out and reluctantly buy the Note 5 64gb.
Micro sd slot is non-negotionable but now I am stuck.
Love the Note functionality, also have a Note 8 and 12.2.
Anyone with some inside knowledge what Samsung's plans are with the Note range?
phones are discontinued a few months after launch to retool machines to build the new phones so yeah, the note 5 stoped production a long long time ago
Thanks Cachanilla86,
So guess, I should jump and get one or risk not getting a new Samsung Note phone again - thanks
Right now my Note 5 is running samsung s8 rom on its software.
Its fun with edge features and S Pen I Can put up all my daily tasks really well and fast with So Much customization In hand.
I live in a country where mostly Note 7 FE Will launch and its going to be 50% cheaper than the Note 7 originally was.
Do you think it would be worth buying Note 7 FE For Water Resistance,SD Slot? or just Wait for the Bigger Note 8 with Better Software update?
I don't know what will the Note 8 Bring to the Game.
I am already Fine with 5.7 Inch screen. Would 6.4 be good thing for an upgrade?
Both, one after the other!

I like the note 8 but the 6.4 Inch is scary.
I do love Big Phones but not that big lol.
Main advantage of Note FE It will be cheaper for me and will offer same camera as the note 8 also i can an SD Card with 128 GB SD Card.. thought the software will be outdated.

1)You are fortunate enough that its going to launch in your country while i am still waiting for Samsung's official commitment for my country India for N7 FE launch
2)If you ask me in case i will just say go for N7 FE until N8 Will be officially announced ATM everything is just in rumour mill like 6.4' display with dual camera setup
3)In India N7 never launched due to disaster happened before official launch so if sammy will announce and release N7 FE in my country i will surely buy this masterpiece until availability of next beast N8

I am not sure but mostly it will be released where i live.
Obviously they wont release in europe or usa cause they would want the note 8 to be more poppular.
But i think the note 7 fe would be a good discount to the note 8. Wouldn't you think. It will be half the price of the note 8.
But it will have no ROM Development thought.
And it would not have S8 Ported features like the Note 5
Luckily here we both are in Asia that means we will be getting note 8 exynos variant means it will have support for custom roms ??

I would wait for the Note 8. The Note 7 FE probably won't be getting proper updates due to not being launched globally. Get the Note 8 instead which will be a much better device to buy simply for the fact the Note 7 is already a year old.
The tiny bezels and the aspect ratio will make up for the 6.4 inches. Don't know where you got that the Note 8 would have the same camera as the Note 7, even the S8 has a newer sony sensor so that wouldn't make any sense. The Note 8 is nearly out so why buy an outdated phone?

Well note 8 is to much big, i had the note 7 2 weeks and dont have better phone since, had s7edge was a great phone, now i have regular s8, because s8 plus its too big, no matter what we do we always use the phone with one hand, and this crap od 18.5 /9 is worse,
Doesn't mention the horrible Fingerprint sensor that i can't use to.
In s8 it's the perfect size for one hand, but the screen is small, even s7edge is bigger, you have more screen to see videos and movies.
Imagine note 7 that 5.7 beautiful screen, Fingerprint in the right place, and can use it with one hand.
And the edges are perfect, nothing like the s8.
If i can put the hand in note 7 again, its a phone that i will never sell it.
I am so torn between these 2. The price for the Exynos S9+ is insane compared to the SD, and I can also get my hands on a 256GB Note 8, but I don't want to buy a super awesome 1 year old processor. Looking for input.
Edit: I changed "dated" to "a super awesome 1 year old processor" for the ones that are easily distracted and/or offended.

Get the S9+ and then trade it in for the Note 9 at a big discount - unless you needed the pen... Best of both worlds

Note 8 is not "outdated tech" , as others stated above, the really important thing is, do you use, like, need, love the s pen? Because the s pen is the very heart of a galaxy note, If the only reason for you is having the "latest tech" there are many options for you to choose, even in the vivo or huawei brands, in other words, if you have doubts, then the note 8 is not for you
Sticking with the Note 8 i cant justify spending another $900 plus after a few months with the Note...just waiting for the Note 9.

That ^ and lets say you on payment plan. You just had to put $200-300 down plus payments. With the galaxy s9+ you will have to do the same all over. Is it really worth a slightly better Note 8? I don't think so.
This Note 8 is a powerful phone good for 2-3 years, maybe more. Like others said wait for Note 9 or Note 10. I myself waiting for Note 10. The rumor specs of Note 9 seems to be nothing to jump out of your seat for.
If your 1 who wants hottest phone all the time, then go for it. It's your money spend how you want.
I love my note 8, I will keep it 'till note 10 arrives, when you are really into the note series, anything else seems capped, the s pen has no match!
I'm very partial to my Note 8 I did have to get the Galaxy S8 plus because of the Note 7 issue and it was a great phone but I'll wait for the Note 9 and Note 10,I also like the dual cameras on the Note 8 how they are side by side,not really liking the cameras on the S9 plus being one underneath the other,I know they are way better specs wise but it's just an aesthetic thing for me.
Lol @ when he said dated tech. LOL.

Same here. Love my Note 8, plus I'm not one of those to upgrade every year, the new features from one gen to next is not much, just a waste of money to upgrade every year IMO considering how much phones cost these days. I love the spen so I continue to buy Note over S if possible.
I'll be waiting for the Note 10, I'm betting they are planning to make a big improvement with it being the 10, well hopefully.
As was mentioned before, the Note 8 is far from outdated. Amazing piece of tech. I recommend to shop around to save some money.
Go for the 9 if you don't use the S-pen
I say outdated, because both cpu's are being replaced in the flagship lineup. Don't get caught up on the wording.
I decided on the S9 Plus, because I stopped using the s pen. I sold my S8 plus to help fund another device, and so I rolled back to my Note 4 in the meantime, and I haven't used the S pen once. Thanks for all of the input.
S9 if you don't need Spen. Note8 if you want Spen and save some money
I for one am tired of the "gotta have it! gotta have it!" with the new phones. The changes from phone to phone aren't worth the $900+ IMO. I will be keeping my Note8 until it breaks/starts tweaking out.

so, please explain exactly what tech in the note 8 is "dated"
I would say stick with it. We will get the ports of the software so that's not a problem and the hardware won't shine if you are comparing it to the note 8.

So in other words, we aren't going to use accurate wording that best describes what we are saying? You got the reaction that those words warranted man.
Dated is such an overstatement anyways. I actually considered buying a Note 4 for back up last night. $189 new at walmart.com.
