Galaxy Note 7 vs Galaxy Note 5: What You Need to Know
Battery Life & Charging | |||||||
 | |||||||
Samsung really failed in 2015 with small battery's inside phones, and they learned their lesson. The Galaxy Note 7 has a bigger 3,500 mAh battery, compared to only 3,000 mAh in last years model. And yes that's not as big as the Galaxy S7 Edge, it's close and features fast charging technology to help owners get the most out of their phone. Along with a huge battery that lasts forever is a reversible and universal USB Type-C port (not micro-USB) and Quick Charge technology. Quick Charge allows smartphones to recharge from 0-80% in around 35 minutes, which is just insane fast. Meaning a quick drive home or top-off while you're getting ready will give you more than enough for an entire day, maybe even 2. This on top of a large battery sets the Note 7 up for instant success. It will still have fast wireless charging for those who use that feature. And don't worry about the USB Type-C port, as Samsung has included a Type-C to micro-USB adapter so all previous chargers and accessories can be used with the new model. | |||||||

HI, I know people must ask this all the time. But here I go, I am currently using xperia z5 and I’m unimpressed. I got this phone as note 5 and s6 had no expandable memory. I have this daft mobile on contract for 2 years. Can Samsung please donate me Samsung note 7. I would like to witness the new edge around the corner.

Your specifications appear to be a little off. You have Samsung Exynos 8-core processor with 3GB of RAM for the Note 5. My US edition (incase it’s different than international) as 4GB of RAM. This is why, with the recent leaks that are not as encouraging, it appears the Note 7 really only has a bump up (and a big one) of the IP67 (or 68) water and dust resistance, memory expansion and Iris scanner. If one already owns a Note 5, performance may be close enough that if one has a 64GB version like me there is much less incentive to upgrade this time around.

I have the Note 5, the day I bought this I asked dealer right away why this doesn’t have SD slot like the Note 4? I was told Samsung took away that feature because the photos stored to that SD card has a lower resolution with that of photos stored to the built in storage. How great would the one be on Note 7?

I’m kinda confuse, I own the note 5, and the note 7 to me the ONLY important factory is the memory(expansion) the cost is a bit higher, but as far as phones they look extremely the same maybe the rounded edge…I don’t know should I order should I not….
