Most new device launches go the same way: usually the press gets review units before they’re widely available, and we get to use them for a few days -or a week if we’re lucky- as we work on our review. Then press day arrives. The embargo on media coverage lifts, and everyone posts their reviews and videos at the same time. It’s a huge frenzy, commenters go nuts, and it’s a giant explosion of frantic opinion-sharing activity. For about … a day. And then it all goes away. Sure, there’s followup coverage as people find bugs and hidden features, but after that initial blast, not many people revisit the device to see how it feels a few months later, because everyone’s already focused on the next big deal coming down the pipe. So let’s do something about that. Let’s see how we feel about devices when they’re not shiny and new anymore. This is After The Buzz. --- Let's take a second look at one of the most polarizing phablets in 2015 and see if you should still consider the investment. Samsung's Galaxy Note lineup took a dramatic turn in 2015, so it was crucial that we give the Galaxy Note 5 some post-review treatment. That one product you could trust as the power user haven with expandable everything and an enviable spec sheet is sadly no more. Instead, Samsung decided to make this the larger sibling of an already aging Galaxy S6, and disappointing many Galaxy Note fans in the process, at least if you read the comments. Whether that was a smart move is yet to be seen in sales figures, but there's a lot of good from an end user stand point. Watch our full After The Buzz video to learn why.

I like you. I don't like Michael Fisher

I have an s6 edge and the battery life is terrible. I should of got the note 5

note 5 failure useless devices that dissapointed many cause its all about marketing and it will awlays be its all about the MONEY and you all know that and if someone disagrees you should go and get a check from a doctor they could easily add 64 gb base model or expandable storage or waterproof or bigger battery etc etc to match s7 edge the point is that if they do that who the fk is going to buy their next flagships?? and how can they bring this innovation they brought with s7 edge and s7 ? we were all hyped with s7 and we still love these phones cause they offered 5 or more usefull features that we all love and didnt have on s6

I've had my note 5 for a year now ..it's an awesome phone don't get caught up in the hype of the note 7 ..

Habing no SD storage turned me off from getting this.

all good points

why is everyone saying this phone is bad??? i have a friend who owns one & it is working absolutely perfect! im even going to get one myself. i dont see anything wrong with it

This video sucks, it was made after ONLY 4 months of usage! The note 5 was released in August 2015 and this video was made in December. Make a fucking video of it NOW in AUGUST 2016 and then say that it's after the buzz or whatever shit you wanna to say.

I'm thinking of getting a second phone just to use as a media device and storing it with notes, important dates, music, and a few games. Should i get the Note 5 or Nexus 6p?

Got my Note 5 last week, so far it's alright... I've noticed some stutter on the Facebook messenger application but that only was a problem when I had like 20 applications open in the background. Also was surprised that the day I picked the phone up from AT&T Android 6.1 was available. I prefer the look of that compared to 5.0

what game was that?

how can i set samsung note to record video at 60fps ?

I have a Note 5 and a few weeks ago I updated to Android 6 and battery life had a BIG improvement compared to what I had with Android 5.1.1. The battery life last at least 2 hours more than before. And ram improvement, smoother experience and some other nice features, its way better than before.

I love my note 5

Would it be a good choice to get this or wait for the note 7 that comes out next month? I heard that it might have an edge display and if that's true then I'll definitely not be getting it

should I get the note 5 or s7edge?

how is battery life of note 5 can someone tell screen on time

GIVE THAT PHONE MORE BATTERY LIFE.
EXPANDABLE STORAGE.
AND SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.
...
I'LL JUST WAIT FOR THE NOTE 7.
CAN'T WAIT!
