Being an avid user of the Note series for last many years I went ahead and got myself a Note 5....I knew there were going to be some hardware related compromises (no IR port, no micro SD, no removable battery) but still made the jump looking forward to newer tech and software experience.
Well within a couple of days of using it I have been forced by Samsung to go back to Note 4 as the Note 5 is a real disappointment in many respects on usage front too.
Here is my list of disappointing aspects of note 5...things which Note 4 has and for whatever reason Samsung decided to omit from Note 5.....I think they really messed up this time around and will see a dive in sales unless they do something to fix this mess soon....may be Note 5S????
HARDWARE RELATED OMISSIONS
1. No IR Port
2. No Micro SD Card
3. No removeable battery
SOFTWARE RELATED OMISSIONS
1. Dialer - does not find contacts that are there in the phone book....when I use smart dial to look for them.
2. Dialer - shows all contacts matching the smart dial combo in alphabetical order not frequent ones first....note 4 showed frequent ones first.
3. Alarm - snooze had many options - how many minutes how many times....this only has 5 minutes 3 times
4. Email - Emails had option not to show any previews and only show sender and subject in Note 4....this has no such option
5. Email - were segregated date wise in Note 4....here they are all clubbed together
6. SMS - names with similar ending digits in the number are getting mixed up....Eg: someone with number 1234567890 and someone with number 2234567890 are showing as same contact
7. Facebook calendar doesn't sync....Note 4 used to sync facebook contact bdays to my calendar. this doesn't.
8. Bloomberg for business not working....keeps force closing
9. S-Health step count not showing on lock screen - it used to show in Note 4
Many others...
SAMSUNG - please fix all of the above ASAP else your note 5 is going to be a massive flop.....everyone looking to upgrade from note 4 to note 5 please consider above list and then decide what you wish to do.
