Are you tempted to buy one lmfy2k?

not yet dude

maybe later in year when prices fall, interested to see how the battery and camera are though

S6 camera with z3 battery?

lmfy2k · 12 Aug 2015 at 11:05

The s6 battery is pretty optimised , it does reasonably well on the endurance tests, the Note 5 3000mah may surprise us.

Long live the Note 4

lmfy2k · 14 Aug 2015 at 08:24

Nornmally id be all over the first Hands on videos for Note 5 but it does no interest me in the slightlest, same with the s6 edge+

the nexus 2015 is our next hope, lets hope they dont dissappoint! (maybe new moto x too)

lmfy2k · 18 Aug 2015 at 11:38

Note 5 has better battery than the Note 4!

Gotta be a G4 then, can get them for 325 for leather one brand new on eBay. Basically half the price of note5/s6 edge+

G4 ram management is insane

lmfy2k · 22 Oct 2015 at 13:01

chaps, is 32Gb enough for the Note 5? if would you buy bigger size?

Got my gold from him. Genuine seller came quickly too.

hows the battery holding up mate? what kind of screen on time you getting?

was the handset European model?

how does the warranty work? (if any)

Are you going to get one using the discount code?

i didn't in the end, im still weary about the aggressive RAM management the Note5 has, the slow updates plus the 32Gb isnt enough, instead ive bought a G4 (again!) for £229 with code

, cant go wrong with that, Marshmallow is coming too

also got the 6p on order from Google with compare them both

hope you enjoy your Note5, il defo look into it again when they start selling them here officially

lmfy2k · 28 Oct 2015 at 15:16

What was the total price mate?

lmfy2k · 29 Oct 2015 at 00:20

Cosimo said:
£485 including delivery.

lmfy2k · 30 Oct 2015 at 15:03

Mines still in Bahrain

Friday is a holiday there so probably will not be hearing back from them today

lmfy2k · 30 Oct 2015 at 15:19

GS7, finger prints much?

lovely colour

i assume its the 32GB model?

lmfy2k · 30 Oct 2015 at 18:42

Any updates about battery life guys ? ( i know it Maybe early for few new owners )

lmfy2k · 30 Oct 2015 at 21:26

Thanks guys.

I've been onto mygsm they said black maybe in within 3 days

Unsure about what colour to get Tbh

Edit. Is it worth ordering from fonis for guaranteed no customs charge and also easy/cheap UK returns for warranty?

lmfy2k · 31 Oct 2015 at 11:51

64gb 920c ordered from mygsm today , chatted to the guy on what's app, was 2499 plus 150 AED postage. Still works out cheaper than a 64gb nexus 6p

Instant replies from mygsm on what's app , very impressed. Ordered within 5 mins.

Got the titanium after checking out the comparisons.

Anyone recommend case and glass screen protector with no halo ?

Thanks all for your advice and help
