from what i read from other users, the difference between the note 4 and note5 is minimal!

All those people who compare using specs only so you can't be well read. Have you not had a play?

The difference between most top end phones now is minimal. The Note 5 is an amazing device and a good upgrade.

I disagree, It's night & day.
The Note 4 Is great device but the Note 5 is way better.

I agree, coming from a Note 4 which I've had since the turn of the year, the Note 5 is a much bigger upgrade for me than I was expecting it to be. I wish I had made the jump sooner now.
It's build quality is simply fantastic, it feels unbelievably premium compared to the Note 4, which was a nice upgrade from the Note 3 I had. No more sharp edges when handling it and even though the screen size has remained the same you can tell it's not as wide in the hand and it's more manageable than before. I like the build better than my girlfriends new iPhone 6s, that thing is so hard to handle simply because it's so slippery. Even being glass both sides the Note 5 has never attempted to dive out of my hand! (Speaking of handling, has anyone held theirs backwards, as if you were holding an S6 EDGE+? It really doesn't feel right, I wonder how well that handset has sold in the end.)
I love the thin side bezels, the screen looks higher quality to my eye, but I might be talking out of my hat! The new finger print reader (I was very frustrated at times with swiping on the note 4 reader) is fast and faultless. Little touches to the software make it feel a more premium experience too, animations when opening the camera, multitasking, locking the screen and just how fast it is in general make it really nice to use. I usually use Nova launcher but I've not moved from TW so far, there are too many small changes coming from a Note 4 to list but I've not found anything I don't like.
So to echo the comment above, the Note 4 was a great device for me, but the Note 5 is way (way!) better

It runs better, feels better, looks better. Software is better, S-Pen feels better to use, built in Wireless Fast Charging.
Need I go on?
No SD card is a bummer, I admit, but no IR blaster who cares, waste of time anyway. Sealed battery I don't mind.

just ordered one based on your opinion

You won't be disappointed.
i have only had a quick play, ill need to finish installing everything later before i start using it as my main phone
but first impressions is that its way more responsive than my note 4. it defo feels more prememium build wise and is everything the note 4 was and better
i still need more time with it though

Has anyone noticed that an awful lot of themes in the theme store are now paid themes? Is it because we have a UAE device? When I had the Taiwan device they where all free.

Where are you guys buying them from and how much?
Will Samsung support them Warranty wise in the UK?

Wow, £450 with a Note 5 64 GB is amazing! What are the dual sim devices?
How fast is shipping?
about 2-4 days delivery
remember there will be a little VAT/TAX on top.. i paid £42 customs fee
im not sure. i looked at the dual sim ones but ended up going for 64gb.
edit:
you need to ask them to put a lower amount on the invoice for shipping to pay less duty.. they will
very good customer service

Mygsm will honour the warranty only in UAE. So you will have to post the phone back to them, courier costs around £17 for this from what I've seen.
The n920c is the phone you need that supports all uk 4g bands, but this does not come in a dual sim model (yet, not sure about future either)
Delivery was very quick, expect to pay some duty unless your very lucky, I payed £41 and the parcel was marked as 900AED
Cost is around the same as a nexus 6p so the note 5 in my opinion is a no brainer, great service by mygsm, they are quick to answer via what's app
The phone is a beast for sure !
