Specs Comparison: Galaxy Note 5 vs Galaxy Note 4

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

With the launch of Samsung‘s new phablet, there have been a number of improvements in terms of specs but there will be some trade-offs as well if you plan on switching from Galaxy Note 4 to Galaxy Note 5. Here is a side-by-side comparison of both devices to see what you’d be giving up if you were to make the jump.

note5vsnote4

note5-note4-specs-list

Summary

Galaxy Note 5 advantages:

  • Better screen protection
  • Slightly higher pixel density
  • Better processor
  • Bigger RAM
  • 64GB storage variant
  • Dual-SIM
  • Qi Wireless charging
  • Dual-tone LED flashes
  • Higher front cam resolution
  • Updated OS
  • Thinner
  • Lighter

Galaxy Note 5 disadvantages:

  • Storage not expandable
  • Smaller battery
  • Non-removable battery

The advantages, by numbers, totally outweigh the disadvantages. Although these three cons are something that matters a lot to some users. As for its smaller battery, we’ll just have to wait and see if the new processor would be more efficient in energy consumption.

If we were to ask you, would these three disadvantages be a deal breaker for you?

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to launch earlier than expected

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

A report from Wall Street Journal says that Samsung is making the move to make the unveiling of their Galaxy Note 5 earlier than the usual launch date.

galaxy-note-5

The move is reportedly to avoid launching in the same week as the new iPhone phablet (a direct competition for the Note series) which happened last year. The iPhone 6 Plus was introduced only six days after the announcement of the Note 4 and was a bit overshadowed by the former in terms of sales.

Samsung usually introduces its new Note device in September, and so does Apple. This year, the South Korean company is moving it a few weeks early to mid-August. Going by the recent rumors, the Galaxy Note 5 is expected to have a huge 5.89-inch display, Snapdragon 808 CPU, USB-Type-C, Android 5.1.1, and a bigger 4,100mAh battery.

Excited?
