After having it for long I have to say its one of the worst devices I've ever had
Samsung has some pretty good looking phones(not design) but they ruin it with bloat, and some Samsung stuff
It lags, and its annoying
it lags like hell on dead trigger 2 so bad!
i had note n700 s4 and note 4 and they're the 3 of the most horrible devices i've ever had!
let me tell you why i don't like it(i had nexus 4 before):
1. When you pay 800$~ (I bought it when it came out-almost
) you expect to have good updates, i just got the lollipop 5.0.1 (not 5.1) and now android m is coming!
2.No custom roms or anything
3.bad performance, the recent take like 2 seconds to open - it lags on regular usage
4. the home button is full of scratches(but come on not really important
just thought i say everything
5. the camera lense is anoyying(and also, not really important and i don't really care much or consider it a samsung fault)
6. i have no idea why note series get scratched so badly, my note n7000 was so horrible that even with screen on you would see tons of scratches my note 4 has like 2 or 1 which are sometimes visable with screen on :| and it happened while i was cleaning my screen with a micro fiber cloth :|
7.knox and etc...
but it's not something you can make a list of, it just gives you a terrible user experience compared to nexus 4 or something (nexus 5-6 moto etc) its all about numbers!!!
and btw, the only place i see 8 cpus going higher than 40 is antutu! and when they go over 40% only 4 of them go at the same time!
and my battery is always hot (36-37)
it still has some purple smudge problems
what i really love about it is
the materials, the leather(faux) combined with metal feels amazing! its soft and comfortable and at the same time it doesn't flex like old ones and feels solid
the s-pen is (super super super)^2 amazing
the screen is good other than the purple smudges
the home button feels so good now! compared to old ones
it has removable back and sd card
it has a good camera
anyway i think the whole thing that made me disappointing was the scratch and performance :| and the worst of all UPDATES! they drove me crazy! and im not sure how much more i can live with this since im not even sure if 5.1 is gonna come for it (i don't even have to think about having android m) since i've to keep it for another year! also if i sell it i lose tons of money
i received this as a gift from my dad:| well i thanks him but i wished he listen to me before(i didn't know he's gonna buy me one but he knows how much my phone is important to me, he bought me the 910H which i mention for me it's so important to check models and everything + it doesn't have warranty support :|
