Galaxy Note 8 vs Galaxy Note 5: Worth the Upgrade?
Galaxy Note 8 vs Note 5: Specs | |||||||
 | |||||||
Another reason we strongly recommend an upgrade is simply for the increase in specs. The Galaxy Note 5 is starting to show its age, and you'll get the latest and greatest in the Note 8. Here's how they compare based on numbers. Galaxy Note 8 Specs
Some noteworthy changes are 6GB of RAM, double the storage with 64GB, water-resistance, and of course, the Note 8 has two cameras on the back. Galaxy Note 5 Specs
You'll enjoy a bigger screen, better battery life, faster performance, more storage options, an Iris Eye scanner, and a great camera experience. The Note 8 also uses USB Type-C port for charging. Everything mentioned above for the Note 8 is also available from the Galaxy S8+, aside from the S-Pen stylus. In fact, it has a bigger battery than the Note 8 does. So technically, the S8+ may be a better choice for some. | |||||||

Samsung can’t justify to me why I should pay $930 for a nice looking cell phone that does the same as a “basic” phone that may be a little slower, may not have the sharpest screen, and doesn’t have a “premium” camera (I rarely take pics anyway)

With Samsung removing the home button I must keep the note 5. Its like microsoft removing the start button in Windows 8. We all know how that worked out. I cant see “how I will get used to it”. btw, I own both, the note 5 which was out of contract and I was supposed to send it back to verizon and get $480 refund over time but Im thinking I’ll keep it (note 5), too bad its past the 14 days because then I could send back the note 8.
