It’s hard to deny the new PHABLET in style and elegance. Special design discoveries there, but business-kept and well thought out. As soon as you notice a huge screen with a very thin side frames. Due to the dimensions of the device are not so great as they could be. The thickness of the body, too, managed to do very little.
Thanks to the excellent oleophobic coating screen virtually “attracts” fingerprints, and they are removed very easily. Sophistication adds rear glass panel with curved edges. However, in contrast to the surface of the screen, it is much more easily soiled and the shape is somewhat similar to the display of the smartphone Galaxy S6 Edge. On the mechanical strength of all this wealth do not want to think, not to mention the consequences of the fall, even with a small height – especially at such a scale housing. But do not let the bad news. In general, the device and looks great, and the hand is pretty good. Build quality and superior materials.
The side edges of the metal from the volume rocker on the left and the power button / lock right. The lower bound of the most full of different elements. Here and headset jack and socket USB. Next come the external speaker (unfortunately, there is only one), and the opening of the main microphone. Almost at the edge of a slot, where it hides the stylus. To extract it, press on the end of the last resembling button ballpoint pen. When you click the stylus to perform and it can be removed with little effort. This action will not leave unnoticed the smartphone and launch the appropriate application, demonstrating full readiness to work with the stylus. When the stylus is returned to its place, we have to again press the end button, and then click it hides flush with the bottom edge. The main thing is not to confuse and always insert the pen tip inside. The consequences of such errors may result in breakdown or need to contact the service center.
The main element of the upper face of Galaxy Note 5 is a retractable frame SIM-card
On We left only the upper bound of an optional microphone and a slide-out frame for nanoSIM-card. Unfortunately, compared to its predecessor, disappeared memory expansion slot and IR emitter for remote control of household appliances.
Let us return to the front. Below the screen is traditionally for Samsung are two touch-sensitive, and one hardware button “Home” at the center, which is also a fingerprint scanner. It should be noted that the scanner quickly and confidently doing its job, and further allows you to identify the user when connecting to a variety of online services or the commission online payments. Virtually no impact on the results to the angle at which the finger is attached. Another nice feature is the ability to launch the camera when you double-click this button.
On the rear panel in the top part of the lens is a powerful camera with a beautiful luminosity and optical stabilization, which allows to obtain good results even in low light conditions. Next to the lens – the LED flash, which is not only used for its intended purpose, but also with fitness sensor measures the health indicators. This will be discussed below, but now we note that in its characteristics, and the camera software in the new PHABLET is virtually identical to the installed Galaxy S6 (read the full test chamber via the link). Here and plenty of manual settings for enthusiasts, and the ability to shoot in a format RAW, and many other nice pieces, most of which have been well described in our test . As a result, it removes the Galaxy Note 5 is excellent and can rightly be considered one of the leaders in this business.
A variety of camera settings designed both beginners and experienced amateurs. Among the many shooting modes there’s even the opportunity to remove the “Virtual Tour”, remembering the object from all sides
Endurance
When working with a lot of gadgets is a very important indicator of autonomy. In comparison with Note 4 alarming news that are likely to notice our attentive readers, is to reduce the capacity of the installed battery – 3200 to 3000 mAh. In addition, non-removable battery has become. Is another minus? The unequivocal answer is no, but it must be said that the substantial losses we have not noticed it.
With moderate use of the phone can hold more than one day. Video playback at medium volume and the brightness of the device worked for about 10 hours. Given the size of the screen indicators are quite good. Probably, the mite contribute economical screen and energy-efficient processor. The advantages that we have not been able to verify, as declared by the manufacturer is fast charging, including wireless. Thus, feeding problems and autonomy at the Note 5 should not be.
Screen
In all fairness, we can not remain silent about the quality of the screen. It is known that substantial advantages AMOLED-technology are high luminance in combination with low power consumption. At the same time the main drawback considered too saturated colors.
In Note 5 not only managed to squeeze all of the advantages, but also neutralize the disadvantages. Super AMOLED-matrix unit provides excellent brightness, both in normal conditions and in the bright sun. And to improve the color rendering provided four color profile, allowing the user to choose the most suitable, depending on the conditions of use and tasks.
S-Pen and all-all-all
Separately want to talk about brand features PHABLET – stylus. In fact, it is a matter of pride, and the main difference Galaxy Note line from other similar devices. Immediately it should be noted that the use of the stylus in the new model is even more convenient, as the system of interaction with him even more elaborate. As we have already mentioned, the device instantly responds to the removal of the stylus. If you do it when the screen is locked, immediately there is an opportunity to make handwritten notes. In other cases, the whole screen a context menu with a set of tabs, arranged in a semicircle. Three of them are fixed: it is “Active memo”, “Screenshot” and “Smart Choice”. The appointment of the first two is obvious, and the latter allows you to take a screenshot is not the entire screen, but only a portion circled stylus.
For a useful additional features include the ability to briefly open the photo or event calendar when you hover the pen tip on them and select a piece of text while pressing the stylus.
admirably PHABLET and recognition of handwritten notes, even if you write them, not very old. The better use, on-screen keyboard or handwriting input, we do not undertake to decide – as you prefer. It is also interesting that the device starts beeping when the stylus is at a distance of more than 3m away.
The Hardware
It is time to deal with the stuffing. As the processor developers decided to use the chip Exynos 7420 self-developed, well-established in the smartphone Galaxy S6. By itself, the processor is powerful enough, but additionally contribute to the overall performance makes a very decent amount of RAM to 4 GB. But in the internal memory we decided to save. In our test sample is limited to 32 GB. Especially unfortunate that expansion card slot is not provided at all.
Performance PHABLET at a very high level. This applies to the responsiveness of the interface and overall performance. Synthetic tests completely confirm his leadership.
Connectivity unit is also quite modern and diverse. Keep in touch in networks up to LTE. Wi-Fi module operates at frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 5 standards 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac. There is also a new communication standard Bluetooth 4.2 LE – a safer and more economical than its predecessor. There is also a navigation module and NFC module with support for Mifare, ANT + to connect to devices for monitoring health.
Android and TouchWiz
Currently, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 running Android 5.1 Lollipop with improved proprietary shell TouchWiz. And in the near future is expected to upgrade the OS to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
By default, the unit has plenty of applications, including Skype, office suite Microsoft, client OneDrive, with 100 GB of cloud space of two years, and the Smart Manager, which will help monitor the status of the device and protect it against viruses
In view of the considerable size of the unit and to simplify the management of one hand in the shell TouchWiz provides several special modes. The first is well-known from other models PHABLET – some elements of the application with control buttons are pressed and reduced to one of the edges of the screen. In addition, a new regime of reducing the entire contents of the screen. Quickly go into it, you can triple by pressing the “Home».
The result
It should be noted build quality, excellent performance, excellent screen and a very high quality camera of the new Galaxy Note. Fairly good autonomy and a number of useful programs, including Microsoft Office, out of the box will make the unit a perfect everyday compact assistant, capable, at times, successfully replace the tablet for those who are willing to pay for a very substantial price. At the same time, a number of such features as a non-removable battery, the fragility of the body and the absence of a slot memory expansion can be a serious argument in favor of the previous model Galaxy Note.
