3 Factors To Decide Whether To NOTE Or Not To NOTE?

Hi Huneybees,

Choose a side, are you Team Note 5 or Team S6 Edge? 

Being launched together, there is an inevitable want to compare both the Samsung GALAXY Note 5 4G+ and the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ 4G+. If you are still indecisive and don't know which new Samsung gadget to get, hope these factors below will help you iron those knots out and hopefully help you on your decision.

The Samsung Note 5 4G+ was already launched last Saturday and here's the introduction - http://huneyzworld.blogspot.sg/2015/08/are-you-ready-launch-of-samsung-galaxy.html, so what's installed in the Samsung S6 Edge + that will be launching tomorrow - Saturday, 22 August 2015?


There are several similarities between these phones like:

• Get crystal clear details with 5.7-inch Quad HD display (518 ppi)
• Made with premium glass and metal for mirror like body
• Running on Android 5.1.1
• Storage space choice of 32GB and 64GB of internal storage
• Much faster system for multitasking with 4GB of RAM

• Professional photography with 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization
• Clearer selfies of 5-megapixel front-facing camera
• Better security with Fingerprint sensor
• Following S6, there is NO removable batteries/backing and NO expandable storage
• Wireless charging (Qi/PMA) with 3000mAh battery capacity

So, what's the diff? 

1) A Slightly Thinner & Lighter Body

Just a slight difference on the dimension, the S6 edge is thinner, easier for those who love wearing tight jeans. Samsung GALAXY Note 5 4G: 153mm x 76mm x 7.6mm / Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ 4G+: 154mm x 76mm x 6.9mm.

But probably without the S Pen, it's also 12% lighter than the Note 5 weighing at only 153g, I sense this is a stronger favorite amongst the ladies...

2) An Additional Screen Usage

Though on paper, both the new phones may look identically sleek and gorgeous, but their biggest difference is their design. The Note 5 is curved on the back for better grip but the S6 Edge+ features the same Dual Edge Screen as the S6 Edge, curving the phone on both edges to provide  better viewing experience for optimal multimedia usage.

Of course, with the "extra" screen, comes the Apps Edge for easy access to favourite apps and Enhanced People Edge with customization, for easy access as well as shortcuts to those favourite apps of yours. 

3) The S Pen
One obvious fact between a Note series phone and S series phone has definitely got to be the S Pen. This is the main factor whenever it comes to decision making when I purchase for a smart phone as I'm doodling whenever I have free time, it becomes like my finger extension here. The new S Pen found with the Note 5 is a brand new game changer with its new functions, more here - http://huneyzworld.blogspot.sg/2015/08/are-you-ready-launch-of-samsung-galaxy.html.
