![]() ![]() ![]() I tested the phone with my TYLT VU wireless charging dock and two of my Nokia DT910 charging docks. I mentioned that the Note 5 has Qi and Powermat wireless charging built in. You’ll also find the 3.5mm headphone jack, micro USB charging port, speaker, another microphone and the S Pen slot on the bottom edge of the phone. It worked 99% of the time with just one press. Basically, they just don’t want to work for me unless I try multiple times. I have had a lot of issues with fingerprint scanners in the past. It’s better than any other fingerprint scanner I’ve ever tried, including the one on the iPhone 6, which was my previous favorite. As I mentioned earlier, the scanner on this phone is fantastic. On the bottom edge of the phone you’ll find the home button which is also the fingerprint scanner. If you like to use your Note 4 as a TV remote, you won’t be happy to learn that the IR blaster feature has been dropped. On the top edge you’ll find the SIM card tray and a microphone. But the difference really isn’t enough to be that noticeable. The Note 5 is also slightly smaller in every dimension compared to the Note 4. I distinctly remember the Note 4 almost having an almost sharp feel in my hand. The Note 5 feels nicer in your hand than the Note 4 due to the beveled edges. The left side of the phone has individual volume buttons. It’s the first time I ever damaged a loaner phone in the 18 years that I’ve been reviewing products. Although a glass back looks sexy and feels great in your hand, you need to be careful because it’s an extremely slippery device. Do you see the top left corner? It’s shattered. Although two features were removed, Samsung did see fit to include wireless charging, so we can at least be happy about that.ĭo me a favor and click on the image of the back of the phone so you can zoom in. Both of these changes will come as a disappointment to a lot of Note fans like myself. That means that the battery can’t be replaced and there is no micro SD card slot. That shouldn’t be a surprise though as this is a sealed phone. It has no problems with flexing or creaking when I put it to the Gadgeteer squeeze test. The Note 5 is very solid and has a quality feel. The back of the phone has nicely curved sides that allow it to fit comfortably in your hand. On the back of the phone, you’ll find the camera and the LED flash which doubles as the heart rate and blood oxygen sensor. ![]()
