Until recently, supporters of the company’s products Samsung, who wanted to buy the flagship smartphone opt models rulers Note and Galaxy S. The first consists of the most advanced phones, also supports handwriting input with the stylus. Slim logic position changed when Samsung decided to experiment with models equipped with curved screens.
It was found that the device series Edge with curved screens are in great demand, than technically heaped Galaxy Note . Affected novelty design through which these smartphones stand out from a number of similar models on the market. As a result, line Galaxy Note unexpectedly, possibly also for the producer, faded Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6 Edge +

Design
Compared to its predecessor Note 4, “five” not only became stronger technically, also changed its design and layout.
For the sake of fashion, which dictates that today’s flagship should shine metal and glass, the manufacturer refused the novelty of the plastic and the back panel with embossed leather, as it was in Note 4 – and the front and back panels Note 5 closed glass Gorilla Glass 4. Glass – the thing itself is excellent, but not too practical. We are talking about fingerprints that quickly appear on the surface and well kept in it. Unfortunately, they are very noticeable.
The design of the visible light Note 5 keynotes of his rival Edge +, only with a shift in emphasis. In analogy with the screen Edge + at “five” rounded side edges of the back and narrowed encircling the body frame. Seen from the side silhouettes apparatus similar, with the only difference that the model should be based at the same time in the “opposition” – one up the screen, and the other – the rear panel.
Written probably too complicated, so it is best look on the photo.
It looks like the side Note5
And this profile in Edge +
Compared with Note 4 It has undergone considerable change in the design of a new leader – he was completely non-separable. Reduce its size and weight (153.2 x 76.1 x 7.6 mm and 171 g versus 153,5 x 78,6 x 8,5 mm and 176 g at the Galaxy Note 4).
Alas, with the upper end disappeared “eye” of the IR port. A headset jack moved to the bottom end.
Because of the folding design had to “pull out” from under the back cover of the SIM-card – he took the vacant place in the “top” body Note 5.
If you compare the device with Edge +, it may be noted that the opening of the second microphone carried away from the slot to somebody inadvertently confused it with the sim card eject mechanism. Incidentally, the last in Note 4 format was micro, but in Note 5, as in Edge + became nano.
We touch and change back. First, change the layout of the main chamber and the pulse sensor – if the “four” it was placed under the lens, the new model it is to the right of it.
In addition, speaker grille on the rear panel migrated to the lower end of the body.
Since it is adjacent to the connector microUSB, equipped to prevent damage interface cables special plastic insert.
On the bottom end provided and silo. To pull the pen out of the slot a little bit is enough to click on his head and it pops out a few millimeters. They say that the stylus can be inserted into the socket ‘wrong’ end, which leads him to jam inside the unit and damage the return mechanism. I confess, did not check.
By the way, the stylus, compared with that in Note 4, lost the cuts, but to work with him still comfortable.
Another change in Note 5 in comparison with the previous model – instead of a “rocker” volume on the left side is now there are two separate buttons.
release button located on the right side of the machine. All three of these control elements are small, require pressing hard, which reduces the likelihood of accidental activation, for example, in your pocket.
Below the display is placed key serving and fingerprint sensor. Left and right of it are two touch-sensitive buttons that light up when pressed.
The sensor works very well, and no problems with it not occur.
Note 5 comes in several colors. In the test in the wording of the unit I was golden. This catchy little outfit did not affect its elegance and style.
Display
Galaxy Note is equipped with a 5.7 inch 5 SuperAMOLED display. Its resolution is 1440h2560 points at a density of 518 dpi. Samsung is a recognized leader in the manufacture of displays based on this technology.
SuperAMOLED used in smartphones for several years, so it is no wonder that the news screen quality, high brightness, and good color saturation. However, picky users will note a slight greening image at large viewing angles.
The brightness level of the display, the user can be set manually or trust automation. Built-in light sensor allows the smartphone to choose the right screen brightness to the situation. Automation copes with this task.
For those who are color rendition SuperAMOLED display seem too harsh, the smartphone provided 4 Correction Mode “Adaptive Display”, “film AMOLED», «Photo AMOLED» and “main».
In the first case, the machine performs automatic settings of the screen depending on the ambient lighting and the type of the displayed image.
In the settings you can activate the” smart “shutdown the screen and zoom while its offset to the bottom right corner of the screen. The latter is useful when operating the machine with one hand.
Hardware Platform
Engineering “name” Samsung Note – SM N920C. The unit is assembled on a processor of its own design company Samsung – Exynos 7420, which includes 4 core A57, capable of operating at frequencies up to 2.1 GHz and 4 cores A53, which is the operating frequency of 1.5 GHz. Eight cores in smartphones today is no surprise. The processor of similar products from other manufacturers, is different in that it is made of 14-nm process technology. In practice, this means less power consumption and heat.
Let me remind you that in Note 4 uses 20nm processor and 3 GB of memory, while the novelty is equipped with 4 GB (LPDDR4) of RAM.
Unfortunately, following either marketing trends, or simply because of the structural features of a smartphone, developers are deprived of their offspring slot for removable memory cards that have Note 4 installed under cover.
The constant on-board memory apparatus according to the modification can be a 32 or 64 GB. The user is in any case do not get the entire amount.
The synthetic tests are known It gives only a schematic representation of system performance. That’s the new flagship left some confusion – the test program sees it as SM N920C and does not want to recognize that Note 5, the parameters of which are issued separately. And besides, by never to never change the position of the smartphone between the brothers in the shop.
We can say only one thing – Note 5 in the tests is gaining more than 64 thousand points.

Autonomy
In the previous model, the battery capacity was 3220 mAh, and in Note 5, it is reduced to 3000 mAh. But due to the fact that the smartphone, as mentioned earlier, used more energy efficient chipset, it does not adversely affect the working time on one battery charge. Quite the contrary – Note 5 turned out to be surprisingly long-playing device, and in certain cases, if not abused games and video, he is quite capable to reach about half a day.
Even more to stretch the battery life of the smartphone, you can use two modes energy saving, allowing deactivate various functions
There are times when the phone battery is dead, but you briefly appeared at the outlet. In this case, Note 5 will please you very – he is able to just dial in 15 minutes 25% charge, and if you have in stock will be half an hour, the battery is half filled. To fully charge the battery takes only 1.5 hours.
It is important that the speed of filling the battery and the smartphone is stored using a wireless charging.
Communication
On his ” connected “capabilities Note 5 does not differ from the Edge +, so with a little adjustment just repeat what I wrote in the review model with a curved screen.
« Samsung offers its own smartphone in two variations – with support for LTE release Cat.6 and Cat.9. In the first case the smartphone is able to use to transmit data just two frequency bands, allowing you to reach peak download data speeds of up to 300 Mbit / s, if the network operator supports LTE-A Cat.6.
More Sat.9 cooler and allows just three aggregate bandwidth that can ideally to have 450 Mbit / s. Such networks in Russia, and yet, it seems, in the current crisis, and in the absence of appropriate devices on the market in the near future on their appearance rassschityvat difficult. Although MegaFon in February 2015 showed the ability to support such a regime in the experimental area of the base station based on Ericsson RBS6000. They were used frequency band 2600 MHz and 1800 MHz (2×20 MHz to 2600 MHz + 20 1800). However, so far on the subject, support your Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + specification Cat.6 or Cat.9, I recommend not to bother – the time when it becomes overdue, sales will certainly be already “Seven» Samsung Galaxy, and that and “eight” to “nine».
But if you really really want zamorochitsya, it’s worth doing only if you have purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 somewhere abroad. According to the Russian representative office of Samsung, in our country smartphone comes with support for release Cat.9. So the owners can safely wait for the relevant national networks or use the device “on all cylinders” in distant lands, if you can go there.
The results of measurements of work Note 5 to the Moscow 3G network Tele2.
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 boasts support for Bluetooth version 4.2, the announcement of which was held last year. This version features low power consumption at high data transfer rates and security.
If you wish to compatible devices by using the phone can organize the access point to the internet not only via WiFi, but also through Bluetooth.
In addition, the “blue tooth” can be activated for the rapid exchange of data between smart phones with the help of technology Android Beam. Spill files from one device to another and may be using WiFi Direct. Do not forget the developers of the technology and TAS.
