I love the camera on the Note 5, but some of the results surprised me a little here.

Auto is good for daytime. HDR makes a difference too.

For night shots you'll want to use Pro mode.

Anyone tell me if this fast wireless charger is genuine?

I've not taken the risk and have a genuine one coming by Prime tomorrow.

£36 is great mate, did you ask them to mark the value down? or mark as gift?

i just whats app them, they gave me the dhl tracking details

Yes I did ask them.

Just checked tracking & it's now at a sorting facility in Germany, what I don't understand is why I have paid import duties at this stage, surely it sould have been when It arrived in the UK.

Or am I going to have to pay Duties here too?

Looks like you have paid duty at point of entry into the EU and you won't be charged again. I would guess that it's gone to Germany because they didn't want to be shipped tomorrow. They should be on the way to you tomorrow.

I didn't understand your last sentence, my bad, could you explain.

Are you saying I should get out tomorrow?

Typo, my bad...

Your package should come overnight to the UK and be out for delivery to you tomorrow.

kitkat2015 · 1 Nov 2015 at 15:53

Thanks for that.

Here's hoping it comes tomorrow.

No

Did you come and now you've had a couple of days with it, what do you think?

Anyone use a seller on Ebay imobile_uk

Bought a 64gb n920c from them but the tracking reference doesn't find any info, it is a uk royal mail sd ref?

Says delivery from Uk even though contact is in Hong Kong.

I'm impressed.

Better than Note 4?

Dont worry about that, it will ship from the uk. Looks like he uses 2nd class signed so you may have to wait a few days.... but using 2nd class for such an expensive item.. :eek:

BaZ87 · 1 Nov 2015 at 17:14

It's lovely. Although I like the gold, I've put a carbon fibre skin on it because the fingerprints were too much for me. I'm not sure if my Note 4's battery life was that bad or if the 5's is that good because it's blown me away.

impressive night shots cosimo.

Got tracking details from mygsm via dhl, says estimated delivery by 6th November.

Looking on dhl site, my address seems a little wrong, they have not used a post code, so hope it arrives here, I what's app them before and they said they will investigate.

Tracking is active and getting updates so that's good, let's hope there is no or very little customs

Fonis have the 64gb n920c note 5 for £555 delivered with no other chargers to pay

Mines left the facility in Germany

Very much so. Better colours, exposure, low light performance, camera control and stabilization. Video looks good as well. It's a winner.

They had the post code missing on mine as well. I had an exception flagged up (email) when it arrived at the delivery centre, called up customer support and it was corrected. I got them to check contact number and email as a well.

thanks mate, i live on a road that is named after a lake in the Lake District, they have used the postcode of the Lake for the address

, but the other part of the address is fine

just checked tracking just now:

7 Customs status updated LONDON-HEATHROW - UK 07:00

Further Details:
Shipment has been given a release by Customs

Next Steps:

Unless there is an adhoc exam or a stop by another regulatory authority the shipment will proceed to delivery

could arrive sooner than the expected date of 6th November!
