| Galaxy Note 5: Edge to Edge Design. |
Samsung has always made its flagship tablet look similar to
the flagship smartphone. This was only different in case of the Note 3 which
had a leather back finish. The Galaxy Note 5 is no different, Samsung has
passed on the much liked design on the Galaxy S6 to Galaxy Note 5. Some phone
“pandits” even say that the Galaxy Note 5 is a “Bada Galaxy S6 with a pen”.
The Galaxy Note 5 is one of the “sabse behtar” and premium
tablets to be available in the Indian Market. It has a glossy back cover made
out of Gorilla Glass 4. It has a 5.7 inch display which is very versatile when
it comes to brightness, color contrast and sharpness. The Galaxy Note 5 has
great viewing angles coupled with the SUPER AMOLED technology it is a visual
treat. The Galaxy Note 5 however, doesn’t allow the user to remove the back
panel which is seen for the first time in the Galaxy Note Series. It also
features a new S Pen with springs in it, so as to allow easy access to it.

The Galaxy Note 5 is packed with 4 GB of RAM and is backed
by the new user interface by Samsung which is “faratedar”. It is way better
than any other flagship tablets, when it comes to multitasking capabilities. It
can handle around 20 apps simultaneously without any problem whatsoever. There’s
more good news if you don’t like the out-of-box interface: Samsung’s Theme
Store is full of skins –both paid and free– that completely replace Samsung’s
bright colors and juvenile design. There is a huge bunch of new features
accompanied with the new S pen, one of them being the ability to launch the
note app as soon as you pop the S Pen out and save the note when you insert it
back. There’s also a new PDF editor which is tailored fit for the S pen, making
signing of contracts or editing documents with ease. One very useful feature
incorporated into the S Pen is “scroll capture” which helps to take long
screenshots of the web to save them for future reference.
The Galaxy Note 5 has an improved fingerprint scanner, which
is more accurate and spot on. Coming to the Galaxy Note 5’s camera, it has a 16
MP snapper which is “nothing alag” from the Galaxy S6. The image quality is one
of the best that you can find on the Android. It performs very well in both
outdoors and indoors. The front has a 5
MP snapper which provides better selfie than others. The phone is also equipped
with Optical Image Stabilization to help take clear and crisp picture.

separate tablet and smartphone and get this instead.
