**** The Official Note 5 thread ****

Surpsingly, the phablet could house an even larger 4100mAh battery (the Note 4 has a 3220mAh unit), which would be quite the achievement if it ever comes true.

Pretty much the only thing I would care about. Not desperate for a change from my 1520 but I've missed my Note since I lost it. If the 5 has a decent improvement on the battery life (in actual use) then I'll sign up.
 
Good tbh, Edge display is a bit of a gimmick really. Looks cool, but that's about it.
 
I'm not particularly interested in the edge stuff myself so wouldn't be surprised if Note doesn't have that version particularly with the recent rumours of S6 Edge Plus that may be used to bridge the gap.
 
This would be what I would consider for my next phone..but my Note 3 does everything I want it too...is it really worth upgrading?

I'm in the same boat but a 4K screen and larger battery would tempt me. With a 4K screen VR would be great with the Samsung VR headset

The only thing that would make me stick to the Note 3 would be no SD card slot, for me it's essential as i watch movies on the way to and from work so i have a 64Gb SD card in my phone
 
This phone is looking more and more like my next handset but the only thing I'm unsure about losing is decent speakers - I've come to love the stereo front facing ones on my M7!
 
If true, I personally won't be that bothered, as long as they don't use the Apple model of starting at 16gb then charging another £100 for every internal memory increment. That's just totally unpalatable when you can get 128gb sd cards from online places for next to nothing.

If the design is exceptional as a result of the omissions, this would also help appease my wrath!

I don't know how much media people need to store on their phones, but with the probably size of the Note 5's camera and 4k recording, anything less than 64gb basic would leave a sour taste. That said I do think people are lazy with mobile phone media...never transferring files to their PCs or the cloud, never uninstalling unused programmes, etc.

The thing that concerns me more is the battery. I'm still on a Note 2 and my purchasing strategy is to buy the latest and greatest sim free, then run it for a long time. I've just had to replace my Note 2's battery, so if that's not an option in the Note 5, I'd consider going for the Note 4 instead.

Also a lot of people obviously carry spare batteries for emergencies or when they can't get to a charger.

Depends what you use it for. I'm not forever transferring data to and from. Put a load of media on it and it's fast enough for 4k recording. Never had a duff one either. £60 for 128GB. You just can't beat that.

The phone should come with a minimum of 32GB onboard for apps. I would accept if a 128GB model was £50 more than the Base model but that's just not gonna happen.
