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. I actually felt the previous S Pens were more solid.

Who else found this also?

I think the build its fantastic and far from feeling cheap.

Couldn't disagree more. Top quality device fantastic build quality.

Best built Samsung device to date IMO.

This is just ridiculous. The glass isn't glassy enough?

"Premium feel" is such a made up marketing term. I can't believe so many people fall for it.

I wouldn't care if a phone was encased in cardboard. I care about the features and the and internal components.
How it feels, lol.

I know everyone has an opinion but geez, this is an awesome device with probably the best build quality of any smartphone currently on the market. It surpasses anything put out by Apple or HTC of recent. As far as I'm concerned Samsung hit a home run!

Out of the 5 other phones I've owned/used extensively, this is the most weighty.

As for the rest of the exterior... It's in a case. lol
I didn't buy it because it had a glass back and metal bumper.

It has a screen of high quality glass, the buttons are responsive, tight, and well-positioned, as are the ports, and the S-Pen is lightweight yet wide enough to feel like a substantial and relatable 'pen-like' peripheral.

What more could you ask of the exterior of a phone?

Feels and looks great to me. Love mine.

Too light? I find the Note 5 to be the heaviest phone I've ever had. It's most definitely heavier than my old S5 and my wife's iphone 6 plus. That being said, five days in I'm already use to the weight.

This is such a silly thread. But it reminds me. Man I get so angry when I goto Burger King and the squished sandwich in the box doesn't look anything like the picture. Hahahahaha

I really don't understand what you mean by not glassy enough. Only way it could be glassy-er (lol, not a real word) is if the whole phone was see through. Now that would be badass.

Mine looks every bit as good as it did in the pre-release promo pics. I LOVE this thing!!!
