Galaxy Note 8 vs Galaxy Note 5: Worth the Upgrade?
Performance & Battery Life | |||||||
 | |||||||
I used the Galaxy Note 5 for over a year, so I know how average (at best) battery life is. You have a somewhat small 3,000 mAh battery inside the phone. And while the new Galaxy Note 8 has a much bigger screen, the battery is only 3,300 mAh. You're probably thinking that isn't enough battery to last an entire day. Don't worry though, as Samsung made a lot of changes over the years. Android is more efficient, the Snapdragon 835 processor sips on battery, and that big 6.3-inch AMOLED screen is extremely efficient too. If battery life is a concern you can rest easy knowing the Galaxy Note 8 should at least last a few hours longer, and enough to go a full day on a single charge. However, if you're really worried the Galaxy S8+ has an even bigger 3,500 mAh battery. You'll get a similar experience as the Note 8, too. | |||||||

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.
