I had hoped for better from the battery -

Not a great test, but gives an idea.

No not really. The guy who made that video is a joke.

sprite1275 · 31 Oct 2015 at 18:13

phone looks genuine though.

It's not a retail unit, it's a prototype. It's already been debunked. Just scroll up this thread.

Imo unless you really want stock android/nexus device and/or front facing stereo speakers or just fancy a change, I don't think it is worth switching unless you can a good price for your note 4.

I came from a note 4 and its absolutely worth upgrading. It's a thousand little differences the nexus has over the note that makes it a great upgrade.

The note has better SOT but with the nexus loosing almost zero battery when the screen is off it really levels the playing field. My note would be erratic with how long the battery would last, some days it would be great and others terrible without any difference in use.

Keep the note 4 if you use the S-Pen and touchwiz apps otherwise bin it off.

It's getting quite frustrating now also how it just can't focus on macro shots.

Yeah I would say if you could change phones without losing more than £50-100 then go for it but any more I would have second thoughts personally.

And that is the biggest reason why I would go with the nexus, marshmallow/doze, I'm sure you will get that feature when the note 4 gets 6.0 but the question is.... when will the note 4 get 6.0

I haven't noticed any issues with macro shots and focusing, just how close are we talking about here?

Belloni · 31 Oct 2015 at 19:24

Doesn't matter how closer really, just won't focus. My S6 does in a second. Very annoying.

Well... I don't have much trouble in standby with the Note... but I might be able to get the 6P for free... and then just sell on Note... will see how things progress with user reports on here and make a call

Thanks!

I have a naked 6P!

Great review Nexus.

Interested in this phone just a bit too big for me.

Belloni · 31 Oct 2015 at 20:48

Under battery optimisation, does anyone else have "DMservice” greyed out and not optimised?

Earth[Tera].bin · 31 Oct 2015 at 21:21

Yep, that and Google play services.

Note 5 have better battery life than 6P?

How's the sound quality on Note 5 compared to 6P on earphones\headphones?

AndyCr15 · 31 Oct 2015 at 23:53

I use BT earphones, I seem to be getting a lot of crackling and interference when using with the 6P, but then I get some with the Note 5, so might not be device related. Couldn't tell you I notice a difference otherwise.

So highest volume is the same? Really looking into importing a note but if the audio is basically the same I'll probably cut my losses and get a 6P
