Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was the 2016 member of the Note Series.
Design and Display
Samsung, known for making quality devices, did not disappoint with the Galaxy Note 5. The phablet shows of a premium design featuring tough scratch-resistant glass and a sturdy metal frame.
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a curved rear which makes it fit well into your hand despite its large size. The design and build quality compares very well with the Galaxy S6.
The device sports a massive 5.7-inch Super AMOLED with Quad HD resolution, just like the Galaxy S6 Edge+, but without the curved edges. That’s an awesome display you have there.
Camera and Storage
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 packs the same terrific 16-megapixel rear-facing camera found on the Galaxy S6 to allow you take breathtaking images. You can now live stream videos direct from the shooter.
There is also a 5-megapixel selfie camera. Onboard storage is either 32 GB or 64 GB, which you will have to contend yourself with as there is no microSD slot for storage expansion for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
Processor, Memory and Software
The same octa-core Exynos 7420 processor that runs the show on Samsung Galaxy S6 also does the heavy lifting in the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
The processor, which has four cores running at 2.1 GHz and 1.5 GHz, is paired with a very generous RAM of 4GB, which means Samsung Galaxy Note 5 may deliver more heavy-duty performance than the other device.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 runs on the latest Android 5.1 Lollipop OS, overlaid with TouchWiz skin.
