The fifth version planshetofona Samsung Galaxy Note was announced this fall during the exhibition IFA 2015 in Berlin, and now has reached the shelves of Russian stores. The new model of the family has changed a lot from design predecessors was gone, smartphone received much more advanced hardware stuffing and improved fingerprint reader. But the main difference of all family models Galaxy Note – this is an opportunity to work with the electronic pen, and works really comfortable and convenient. That has changed and what has been added in the next incarnation of the legendary planshetofona, read our review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

The appearance and ease of use
As for the design of new items, in this respect, differences from the flagship of the line parallel to the Galaxy S6 minimum number, there are almost none, except for the increased size and the presence of an internal slot for the stylus. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 received housing in the design of S6, and the size of it is almost identical to the recently released Galaxy S6 edge +. Thus, the Korean designers have resulted in two families of its top-end smartphone Galaxy Note and Galaxy S to a common design, diversity in this respect, the flagship Samsung no.
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 quite a bit thicker than the Galaxy S6 edge +, and noticeably heavier. In general, it is still a very large planshetofon with a huge screen, the true successor of the traditions begun by the first model of Galaxy Note in the distant 2011. Now the plastic housing of the Korean champions not find used entirely glass and metal design has become much more expressive and more modern.
At the same time, the combination of slippery glass and no less slippery smooth brushed metal on the side makes the smartphone is extremely unreliable to hold in hand, especially considering the huge size and very impressive weight of the device.
With regard to the placement of elements on the body, there is all the differences of big Galaxy S6 ege + from smaller models S6 and S6 edge observed: from the upper end Galaxy Note have also disappeared 5 infrared port is used to emulate the remote control, but here migrated format card slot for Nano-SIM. The smartphone is only one slot, setting the second SIM-card or memory card is not provided.
On the opposite, the lower end of many different elements. Here and universal connector Micro-USB 2.0, which supports connection of external devices to the mode OTG, and located on the sides of the audio output to the headphones and speaker grille, and perched on the edge of the hole for the electronic pen.
The pen itself has undergone some changes: now he had to pressing a mechanical button, like a pen. However, the release of the tip, it does not provide, and serves only to extract the stylus from the slot: Pressing the pen thrown at her from opening the spring-loaded mechanism.
The pen can be randomly inserted into the socket end of the reverse, it is now to somehow pass quietly, no protection is not provided. The result would be disastrous to this because there is a pen snaps firmly, and pull it back, without spoiling the indoor unit is impossible. Craftsmen, however, have learned to cope with it by using strips of paper, but it is still better not to experiment.
The power button and the lock is located on the right side face of the smartphone, and the module volume, in the form of two separate buttons – on the left. The keys are small, have a short but ample sharp turn, these elements have no complaints.
On the back of the smartphone installed markedly protruding beyond the surface of a large camera module adjacent to the single-LED flash and the heart rate sensor. The sensor can be operated as fotoknopki when shooting self in the front-facing camera.
The front panel remains unchanged: it is still the same flat protective glass Gorilla Glass 4, the same oval mechanical button under the screen with an inscribed her scanner fingerprints. The scanner works clearly, unmistakably, a finger can bring to it from any angle. Recognized and a single touch – swipe your finger on the scanner, as it did with the Galaxy Note 4, is no longer necessary. Touch buttons on either side of the center key under the screen are bright white light. At the top of the display there is an indicator of events.
In the sale of Samsung Galaxy Note 5 comes in two exactly the same as in the Galaxy S6 edge +, design options, which the developers have given the name “Black Sapphire” and “Dazzling platinum.”
Screen
Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a touch screen Super AMOLED, protected by glass Gorilla Glass 4. The physical dimensions of the display are 71 × 126 mm, the diagonal – 5.7 inches. The screen resolution is 2560 × 1440 pixel density equal to 518 ppi.
The frame around a very narrow, thanks to the developers managed to fit oversized screen with a diagonal of 5.7 inches in size quite acceptable. Sides from the edge of the screen to the edge of the case is only 2 mm, the upper and lower edges have a width of 13 mm.
The display brightness can be controlled manually or use automatic adjustment based on the light sensor. There is also a proximity sensor that locks the screen for presentation of the smartphone to your ear. Multitouch technology can handle 10 simultaneous touches.
The detailed examination using instruments held partition editor of “Monitor” and “Projector and TV” Alexey Kudryavtsev. Here is his expert opinion about the screen test sample.
The front surface of the screen is in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, anti-reflective properties of the screen is not worse than the Google Nexus 7 screen (2013) (hereinafter just the Nexus 7). For clarity, we present a photograph in which to screen off reflected a white surface (left – Nexus 7, on the right – Samsung Galaxy Note 5, then they can vary in size):
The screen Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is almost the same dark (the average brightness of 111 against 110 photos from the Nexus 7). Ghosting objects reflected in the screen Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is very weak, it shows that between the layers of the screen there is an air gap. Due to the smaller number of boundaries (such as glass / air) with very different refractive indices of the air gap without screens look better in high ambient light, but in the case of repair cracked outer glass is much more expensive, because have to change the entire screen. On the outer surface of the screen Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a special oleophobic (grease repellent) coating (efficiency better than Nexus 7), so fingerprints are removed considerably easier, and appear at a slower rate than in the case of ordinary glass.
If the withdrawal of the white box at the top of the screen and manual control of its maximum brightness was 415 cd / m² minimum – 1.9 cd / m². You also need to consider the fact that in this case, the smaller the area of white on the screen, so it is lighter, that is, the actual maximum brightness of white areas will almost always be above the specified value. As a result, the readability of the day in the sun to be a fairly good level. Reduced brightness level without any problem to use the device, even in complete darkness. It works automatically adjust the brightness of a light sensor (located to the left of the front speaker slots). The operation of this function, you can make adjustments by moving the slider settings. Next, three conditions give the values of the brightness of the screen for three values of the setting – for 0%, 50% and 100%. In complete darkness automatic brightness is reduced to 1.8, 9.1 and 17 cd / m² respectively (the first and second – too dark, the third – the fine), under artificial light lit office (approximately 400 lux), the brightness is set to 40 -55, 144 and 330 cd / m² (a bit dark – at the time – yarkovato, which corresponds to a predetermined correction), in a bright environment (appropriate lighting clear day outside, but not direct sunlight – 20,000 lux, or a little more) – increases up to 500 cd / m², regardless of the position of the slider. This value is greater than the maximum for manual adjustment. If you increase the brightness of the ambient light (in the vicinity of the light sensor) somewhere before hundreds of thousands of lux (equivalent to direct sunlight), the screen brightness is increased to 560 cd / m². This should definitely be enough brightness to the screen in any well-varied natural conditions. In general, the result of the automatic brightness adjustment as expected. At present any significant level of brightness modulation frequency of about 60 or 240 Hz. The figure below shows the dependence of brightness (vertical axis) versus time (horizontal axis) for several values of brightness settings:
It can be seen that the maximum and close to it brightness modulation amplitude is not very big, in the end there is no visible Flicker (in our conference, there are reports that the flicker is still visible, but the authors iXBT.com, to test this smartphone not seen twinkling at maximum brightness under any circumstances). However, with decreasing brightness modulation appears high relative amplitude. Therefore, the presence of such modulation can already be seen in the test for the presence of stroboscopic effect or just with the rapid eye movement. Depending on the individual sensitivity is flickering can cause fatigue.
In this screen uses a matrix Super AMOLED – active matrix organic light-emitting diodes. A full-color image is generated via the subpixels of three colors – red (R), green (G) and blue (B), but the green subpixels twice that can be designated as RGBG. This is confirmed by a fragment micrographs:
For comparison, you can see the gallery of photomicrographs of screens used in mobile equipment.
In the snippet above you can count 4 green sub-pixel, 2 red (4 halves) and 2 blue (a 1 and 4 quarters), while repeating these fragments, you can put the whole screen without gaps and overlap. For these matrices, Samsung introduced the name PenTile RGBG. Screen Resolution manufacturer believes the green sub-pixel, the other two it is two times lower. The location and shape of the subpixels in this embodiment, similar to the case of the screen Samsung Galaxy S4 and some other newer devices from Samsung (and not only) with screens AMOLED. This option PenTile RGBG better than the old one with the red squares, rectangles of blue and green stripes of subpixels. However, some unevenness contrasting borders and other artifacts are still present. However, because of the very high resolution are minimal effect on image quality.
The screen is characterized by excellent viewing angles, true white color when you reject even small corners in turn becomes a light blue-green and pinkish tinge, but the black color – just black at any angle. Black so that the contrast setting in this case is not applicable. When viewed perpendicular to the excellent uniformity of the white box. For comparison photos, which screens 5 Samsung Galaxy Note and the second member of comparison derived same image, with the brightness of the screen is initially set at about 200 cd / m², and color balance on the camera is forcibly set to 6500 K. White Field:
It should be noted the excellent uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white box. And the test image (profile main ):
Color reproduction is good, the color moderately saturated, color balance with screens a little different (but in any case, the picture may not be a reliable source of information on the quality color). The photo above is obtained after selecting the profile main in the settings screen, all four of them:
Profile Adaptive Display is different some automatically adapts to the type of the displayed image, and environmental conditions (states that a light sensor to distinguish and the intensity of the three primary colors), which is obtained by choosing the two remaining sections shown below.
The saturation and color contrast markedly increased.
Saturation all such It is high, but the color contrast closer to normal. Now, at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen (profile main ).
