    Did Samsung just kill its own S6 Edge Plus?

    Now that Samsung has released the S7 Edge I think it has basically sacrificed its own S6 Edge Plus, even though it's only about 6 months old. I see no good reason why anyone would pick the S6 Edge Plus anymore, other than maybe it's a little bit cheaper. - 0.2" in screen size is hardly...

    Used for 1 day, went back to Note 5

    Picked up a S6 Edge Plus for a good deal but the next day it went right up online for sale. The advantage of the S6 Edge Plus is that it looks beautiful. The curved display is absolutely georgous. The disadvantage of the phone is that it lacks all functionalities of the Note 5, which has been...

    Help Does your Note 5 lag?

    I have had the Note 5 for approximately 2 months now and overall I'm very happy with it. Although I must admit I see more lags than my previous Note 4 with Android Lollipop 5.0. With the Note 4 I don't remember any lag at all. With the Note 5 I would notice a little glitch perhaps once a week...

    Help I make a lot of mistakes on the Note 5 Keypad

    I'm not sure why but when I type on the Note 5 keypad I always make a lot of mistakes. The Note 3 keypard I thought the best, it felt very smooth and I could type very fast and accurately. Then the Note 4 wasn't bad either. But now onto the Note 5 I can't type a sentence without making at...

    I feel like I'm using an iPhone

    Ever since I picked up the Note 5 two weeks ago I always feel like I'm using an iPhone. This is not a bad thing however as I feel this phone brings together the best of Samsung and the iPhone. Samsung for the functionality and high end specifications, iPhone for the fluidity and simplicity. I...

    Help Why does "Push" Syncing use so much battery

    When I got my Note 5 I was very impressed with the battery life for the first few hours. But afterwards when I had my work email/contact/calendar account setup, the battery life dropped significantly I could only get 4 hours of SOT. This is also with disabling a lot of apps I don't use, 33%...

    Who has the stones to rock the Note 5 without a case

    I love the build quality of the Note 5 so much that I really don't want to use a case, as with a case you can no longer enjoy the compact size and the quality feel of the material. However of realization that glass and concrete don't usually go well together, and my inadequately sized...

    4 Hours of Screen On Time?

    I've had my Note 5 for 3 days now and I'm a little concerned about the battery life. Initially I found it really good, about 20% better than my Note 4. But ever since I started syncing it with the Microsoft Exchange Server at work, I've noticed a significant drop and only getting about 4 hours...

    The one reason that made you upgrade to the Note 5?

    I'm just wondering what was the main one or two reasons that you upgraded from the Note 4 to the Note 5? Personally for me while I'm not feeling the features that the Note 5 removed, especially the IR blaster, I have decided to get the Note 5 because of the smaller physical size. I've always...

    Not as premium as it looks in videos?

    I played with a Note 5 today and thought it felt rather lightweight and cheap ish? Firstly it felt way too light, much lighter than it looks with the shiny metal and glass. Secondly it felt more like plastic than glass, even though I know it's glass. Last the S Pen looks and feels very cheap...

    Completely useless

    I bought a second hand Note Edge today just to have a play with it, and unfortunately my conclusion is that it is completely useless. I also have a Note 4. There is nothing I can do on the Edge that saves me more time or effort than on a standard Note 4. In fact, it feels even more clumsy to...

    Note 5 "Screen-off" Memo Pin to Screen

    Hi, The screen-off memo is a cool feature I must admit. However, it is only useful to me if I can directly pin it to my Home Screen with the screen off. This is the only way I use the S Pen, to write a shopping list etc... It's very convenient to pin it to my home screen for easy access in...

    Is the Note 5 a "side-grade" at best?

    Reading the almost confirm specifications of the Note 5 I'm worried that it's going to be a side-step to the Note 4 at best. I upgraded to the Note 4 from the Note 3 and while I appreciate some of the improved aspects, I am frustrated with the following: - Phone is thicker / taller / heavier -...

    Just got Note 4, but wanting to go back to Note 3

    Hello all, I just got the Note 3 a few days ago. While I'm enjoying the new Note 4 and its features, but when I pick up my Note 3 I can't help feeling that I want to switch back. While the Note 4 is undoubtedly more advanced, I feel that the Note 3 is a more comfortable device to use and...
