Samsung Galaxy Note5 (USA) - User Reviews

  • If i bought it in USA then I will use it on Philippines is it gonna work already or do I need to set up it again?

  • Sadly, no.

  • can it go to 8.0 oreo

  • how good is the phone, is it worth buying

  • can it go to 8.0 oreo

  • I just noticed my 32gb version does not record in 4k even though it has the option, is that normal? or an os problem?

  • Note 5 T model is satisfied just when 4g connected mobile too slow just few second

  • As long as it had the proper frequency bands, it could be used on a GSM carrier, as well. In addition to CDMA, the Note 5 has GSM and HSDPA/HSPA+ capability, as well as LTE.

  • SM-N920P is the Sprint Version of the Note. Sprint is an American carrier. Unfortunately my guess is that they probably don't provide service over in India, so in order to use it, you'd have to get it unlocked for a CDMA carrier in India by Sprint or a third-party service, or return your Sprint phone and buy a GSM unlocked version and use it with a GSM carrier in India. Hope this helped. Happy Holidays!

  • Why do you need sd cardslot when you have enough memory to save anything

  • does the samsung GPS work in USA if I am Canadian based without being charged for data?

  • iam in india. i purchased samsung galaxy note 5(SM-N920P) in ebay. But LTE not working in india JIO network only LTE working in my phone. Can anybody help to change bandwidth. And give solution for how to work LTE in india in my mobile.

  • Please check if your provider network support LTE band of the N920P which is basically a CDMA smartphone otherwise only GSM 2G or 3G are available

  • Hi im using note 5 N920V in iraq can i download another software lick n920c and what happen if i did ?

  • Mine (USA-AT&T network) just upgraded to 7.0 Nougat a week or so ago.

  • I have N920P sprint version. It does not connect to 4G Data in IRAN. Can any help???

  • Same with u why?? Anybody can teach how to update

  • Looks pretty nice great camera. 4.5 Stars

  • Too bad it not has a slot card :(

  • Most likely that it either needs to be connected to sprint servers (through ACTIVE sim card) or try taking to samsung places if you have available nearby to do it through their software.Manual update should be available through other methods as well.

  • what kind of smartphone do u use, how do u say that is better than all?

  • I bought n920p few days ago.. phone work on 5.1.1 android.. i cant update it on 6.0, why? Anybody knows? Thanks..

  • Hi, anyone can help with unlock N920V to use for overseas sim card network?

  • No. The US version is Exynos 7420. All Note 5's are Exynos.

  • With 64GB of fast internal storage, who needs an (11x slower) SD card? I certainly do not.

  • The vo-lte options seems to be locked by carrier on the N920V variant If anyone that are planning to use this variant with the new telco: Webe The LTE wont work as the band is not supported

  • Note 5 4 g sport?? U r use 4 g plz reply me

  • you have the point... I was so disappointed when i came to know that Note 5 does not include IR and Card slot!! :( still don't understand why did they remove those!

  • I'm using sprint version... and I did not face any problem... I think, your phone has some hardware issues...

  • I'm using sprint version... and it's Exynos and Mali!

  • In US version, CPU Snapdragon and GPU Adreno!

  • your phone is better than mine but being android user I have to say that I agree with u .. manufactures are not taking care timely of the issues they devices has mine is a G2 ... and nothing against the Samsung brand but even a slower and older s4 was able to get 5.1.1 where my G2 being months newer and faster got 5.0.2 only .... phone was left with performace , camera and Wi-Fi issues so lg as many other manufactures f**k our phones with latest update forcing us to belive that they device cant support it until we decided to buy their latest and greates .... shame on them they put all their efforts in the stock software after that updates are like crap that's the truth

  • When I first purchased my phone I was so in love with it. I loved it until the marshmallow update. I usually love updates because the phone will have new features. I feel like this update has really made my phone useless to a point. Basically the only thing that does not seem to be a problem is actually making phone calls which I rarely do anyway. I so wish I could go back to the lollipop. Even with the last update I still have connection issues and Google's updating does not happen when it should. I am so disgusted with my phone now. I have contacted both Samsung and Verizon they just talk me through things to do it works while I am on the phone with them but before the day is over its back to the same issues. I have never liked the iPhone but I am considering it for my upgrade. Truly annoyed with my phone now.

  • Lumia 4xx 5xx 6xx 7xx 8xx 9xx 13xx 15xx

  • you need a case for the note 5

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 4 & Note5 (CDMA) is official for india??????

  • Android,. Apple,. & blackberry, all these was craps. Mine Windows . No more Google store,. Apps store and so on that's comes with crappie application,. Too many apps but almost useless, Android even with 2gb ram gets lagging after a couple of apps installed. Mine Windows only 1gb ram run smoothly after many apps installed. These people don't know how to choose cellphone,. just by their brand... Samsung note 123456 s1234567 grand prime trendy on123456789 apple iPhone 123456789

  • Samsung in Malaysia is like a Astro radio 📻. Always plays same music 🎶 like u use a mp3 players and some repeated community service and continues commercial . For e.g. era fm mix fm hitz fm and some other rubbish radio 📻 channels. I prefer windows OS rather than Android. My brother used Samsung s3, cousin used grand, nephew used s3 all their cellphone get lagging. Windows OS in Malaysia like government radio stations rtm those no rubbish commercial,. Variety of songs and matured DJ s

  • See that would make sense except the note doesn't even look like an iPhone? Are you blind or just retarded?

  • hii guys i just hate samsung because it always trying to copy the design of apple iphone series .i just love my iphone its chipset is far far better than any other smartphone available in the market till date.

  • This depends on the CPU built in because there are 2 versions. The Exynos can run 64-Bit but the Snapdragon 805 is a 32-Bit CPU.

  • is note 4 a 64 bit phone? pls answer if anyone knows...

  • is note 4 a 64 bit phone? pls answer if anyone knows...

  • power of notes performance worth its price

  • Hey friend, I just traded my note 4 for the 5. At first I was a little taken aback by the lack of micro SD slot, but then I talked to the guys at the Samsung kiosk at Best Buy. What they said is so true, without having to search through all of the other memory throughout the phone, this one is a bunch smoother and quicker than the predecessors. I also had a note 3!!! Not a salesman or anything, just an honest customer's opinion!! Good luck. Oh, and by the by, on the Verizon edge plan, my note 5 is actually cheaper by almost 10 dollars than the note 4....

  • agreed 100% regarding IR and I don't know on what bases they remove it

  • Not being able to replace the batter is annoying enough, but why did they remove the MicroSD card slot???? Trying too hard to be iPhone. IR was a nice feature while it lasted. Guess I have to go back to buying a universal remote.

  • I had the Note 2 and I loved it. Wanted to upgrade to the Note 4 but when I could it was no longer available at the price I was willing to pay. Sprint offered me the Note 5 and I know everyone doesn't get the deal I have but sprint is virtually paying me to use it. Though it's essentially a free phone it's the best phone I ever had. I know I'm biased but if someone gave me an iphone I'd sell it as fast as I could. The size , clarity, battery life, and camera of the Note 5 stands head and shoulders above any phone out there.

  • As a longtime user of Note2, I thought finally it was time for me to get rid of Samsung product line over smartphones - tired of it and dont wanto deal with it anymore. Surprisingly odd enough, however, one time passing by its display counter and immediately I was completely got caught up by its slick design and impressive performance from this Note5 in shiny gold champan with duo sim cards. Indeed it could be accused of copied version of Iphone in terms of internal storage and non-removable battery but overall its feel of quality and functions stand out differently to its predecessors and iphones ios system. Believe it or not, this model could take weeks to arrive at the local store when place the order, still a big hit in the marketplace! More slick sensative light-weight design, stable fast access to memory storage, energy saving efficiency in high resolution screen and battery usage, enhanced camera features plus S pen with more powerful capabilites - capturing more pictures in a roll under a click. The chipset CPU may not be the fastest system at least 4GB RAM loaded can help apps and multi tasking run in smooth like breeze. Even though severe competition in the industry, Samsung throw some extra for a dual USB 32GB removable external drive (direct plug into your phone) and one more year extension from the original warranty. Conclusion: abit more pricy for its bundle with this flagship as always but worthy of experiencing the quality of top notch gadget in elegant and comfort design and functions. Whether it fits your preference or worty of upgrade, try it out and you will know much better yourself.

  • Worst phone ever. Too costly. better to buy nokia 1100.

  • Best choice is Note 3 but if u easily afford maximum price then you purchase note 5................

  • Note 5 wins (faster, better camera, better design)

  • no infra red too bad. That is very important feature that Samsung has. Now its gone too..

  • with no expandable card slot im going away from samsung and getting the sony z5 expandable upto 128 gb with card slot :)

  • Guys please help me. Which is better or more? Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or Note 5? In your opinion? I am planning to buy a smartphone. Please guys. Thanks.

  • WoooooW - It is gooooooood

  • I was soooo disappointed to find all the new Samsung phones don't have a card slot or a removeable battery. I love the design of the S6 edge plus, but without these 2 very important features, I will not be upgrading my SUPERIOR NOTE 4! Instead, I bought a new battery and gold battery cover to compliment the note 4. What happens when the battery gives up on the new S and Galaxy range? Should we throw our expensive phones in the bin? 64gb max internal storage on the latest phones?? I'm using 120gb card in note 4 with 32gb of internal! Please Samsung, we all want progress, but not at the expense of loosing features that are all too important. HTC tried dumping the card slot and non removeable battery. They learned from that. Suppose I will wait to see what the competition responds with over the next 6 months. LG ? HTC ? Sony?

  • nice phone

  • Point 1. Useless Point 2. iphone is better than Samsung Point 3. Sony camera only is best .

  • It's look very awesome too much.

  • I lke it too

  • I'm using samsung since 2005 and I had every note series, but now with this sh*t which Samsung gave this time, I'm gonna upgrade to Iphone 6s plus this time... Gl HF.

  • this chipset is much better.it makes note 5 a realy fast phone.

  • no card slot, no infra red, battery unremovable 300mah, resolution of screen is less than note edge, chipset exynos but note edge is qualcomm which is more better in media,... so, i think its lower than the previous edition of edge and i think the sales of note 5 will go down

  • I love it

  • I will wait for it..... its really cool...

  • I love Samsung Note series..

  • No external SD slot. Useless phone !

  • it has quad & quad cpu , so its kinda octa

  • I agree with you and to get a 64g is Top price and for what? I can do same thing w the nexus minus the SPen! Pics come out decent in any smart phone camera!

  • It's too overpriced! 6-700 is more where I would consider it! NOT 8-900$ come on Samsung it's android! Wtheck! Going to wait for LGG3 pro

  • Hay Samsung what is this ? , This is totally downgrade . Note 4 CPU Quad-core 2.7 / Note 5 Quad-core 1.5 GHz. Same Rear camera . Note 4 BATTERY Li-Ion 3220 mAh / Note 4 BATTERY Li-Ion 3000 mAh and Note 5 No Infrared port and No Card slot . This is totally bullshit Are you mad Samsung?

  • I am not sure if they should mention that its 32GB version, its about f.e. 23GB of free space after all. People think, 32GB, its enough..? not. its a less.

  • Hi, all these is the realy world number one device which is given by Samsung Company,,am waiting for lunching .,,
