Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - Specifications

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is an Android phablet smartphone developed and produced by Samsung Electronics. Unveiled on 13 August 2015, it is a successor to the Galaxy Note 4 as part of the Samsung Galaxy Note series.

The Galaxy Note 5 carries over hardware and software features from the Galaxy S6, including a refreshed design with a glass backing and a spring-loaded stylus, improved camera and fingerprint scanner, built in live streaming functionality, and additional features meant for use with the device's bundled stylus. The device was released together with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+.

The Galaxy Note 5 received positive reviews from critics, who praised the device's upgraded build quality over prior models, along with improvements to its performance, camera, and other changes. Similarly to the S6, Samsung's decision to remove the ability to expand its storage or remove the battery was panned as being potentially alienating to power users even moreso on the Note 5 due to how the series has historically been positioned.

The Galaxy Note 5 adopts a similar design and construction to the Galaxy S6, featuring an unibody metal frame and glass backing, although unlike the standard S6, the back of the device is curved. It is offered in dark blue, white, gold, and silver color finishes. The storage slot for the S Pen stylus uses a spring-loaded mechanism to eject the pen.

The Galaxy Note 5 shipped with Android 5.1 "Lollipop". The new "Screen off memo" feature allows the phone to be awoken directly to a note screen when the stylus is removed. The Camera app on the Note 5 also allows public and private live streaming directly to YouTube, and supports export of RAW images.
