Note 5 vs S6 Edge Plus
Note 5 Review
Fast forward a few weeks and I’ve been using the Note 5 as my main smartphone for the past week. How does it compare to past Galaxy Note devices and is it a true Galaxy Note device? Let’s take a closer look as I share my first thoughts on Samsung’s latest phablet.
Design The contentious changesAs with all previous Note devices, there are a few things that set the Note range apart from the rest of the Galaxy family and in the Galaxy Note 5, these have been changed. How do they impact on the ‘Galaxy Note experience’?
Battery
Downloaded Apps: 48
Email Accounts: 9 (all Gmail)
Screen Brightness: 60%
StorageRemoving the back cover and the swappable battery also means that Samsung followed the design of the Galaxy S6 by removing the microSD card slot. The Galaxy S6 came with either 32GB, 64GB or 128GB storage but with the Note 5, Samsung has dropped the largest storage option.
I’ve got the 32GB version of the Note 5 and before this, I had the 64GB version of the Galaxy S6 Edge. When transferring everything over to the Note 5, the smaller storage option became an issue as I couldn’t transfer over my videos (my S6 Edge has 30GB worth of photos and videos).
This is quite frustrating as in previous years, a memory card would have solved this issue and while it was easy enough to clean up my photos and remove the rubbish that had accumulated there, it was quite frustrating that I had to do this. Having previously insisted that a lack of space was something that never affected me, this was a reality check that was probably needed.
Given that I stream music and only install a handful of apps, my storage is mainly used by photos and videos and I fully expect that the lack of storage on my Note 5 will affect me sooner, rather than later. Granted, cloud storage makes it easy to offload everything to the cloud to free up space, but I can already see that 32GB may not quite cut it for me.

Features
One thing I have noticed across both the Note 5 and the S6 Edge is Samsung’s reasoning behind dropping the expandable storage; the company claims that microSD cards slow a handset down and also claims that its UFS storage is up to 4 times faster than a microSD card and I agree with both.
On my Note 4, I remember the handset becoming quite slow when I loaded over 30GB worth of data onto the microSD card, but with the S6 Edge and Note 5 having the faster storage, I’ve noticed it’s a lot faster to access anything stored. That being said, if you’re thinking of picking up the Galaxy Note 5, be sure to carefully consider how much storage you need and spring for the higher capacity version.
S-Pen
Action Memo: Very similar to the Note 4, the Action Memo lets you scribble a note with ease. A particularly cool feature is being able to take the pen out and write a quick memo on the screen while it’s switched off but you’ll find that you actually disable this feature pretty quickly.
Smart Select: Just like previous years, you can select a small section of the screen and then share/edit it and the lasso tool especially, is a welcome improvement to the Smart Select experience.
Screen Write: This has to be one of my favourite features on the S-Pen, as you can take a screenshot of a page and then scribble any notes on top of this. A particular cool new feature inside Screen Write is the ability to scroll capture, which means you can capture an entire webpage or book, even if its not all displayed on the screen.
App Shortcuts: This is an interesting addition to the S-Pen as you can now set shortcuts to your three favourite apps. I have this set up to be S-Note, Twitter and Instagram but I hardly use those shortcuts from there; instead, an alternative is to use apps that are compatible with the S-Pen, such as Evernote, OneNote and S-Note.
Other ChangesSo what about other changes in the Note 5 experience? There’s a few key differences that I’ve noticed – not least in the camera and the performance – that form a key part of the experience.
PerformanceAfter the impressive performance of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge earlier this year, it was to be expected that Samsung would keep mostly the same internals for the Note 5. That means we have an octa-core 64-bit Exynos 7420 processor with two pairs of four cores and a Mali-T760MP8 GPU.
A key difference is the additional GB of RAM in the Note 5 and this makes all the difference; while my Galaxy S6 Edge did eventually shows signs of struggling, the Galaxy Note 5 is still as fast as when I first started using it, despite having all of my data and apps on it.
Like all smartphones, the Galaxy Note 5 will eventually slow down but 4GB RAM means it should take much longer than previous years to do so. The extra RAM also means having 15+ apps open in the background doesn’t impact the performance of the smartphone, and this is certainly a welcome improvement.
CameraAs we touched on in the Android Authority Podcast last month, the Galaxy Note 4 is arguably an iconic smartphone because it was the first time Samsung smartphone cameras could challenge any other device. Samsung followed this up with a very impressive Galaxy S6/Edge camera and this same camera comes to the Note 5, so you could reasonably expect it to be better than the Note 4, right?
With OIS turned on (not all images are shaky)
One of the features that transformed the Note 4 camera was Optical Image Stabilisation, which meant images captured were no longer full of noise (like on the Galaxy Note 3). Naturally, this came to the S6 and Edge along with the Note 5 and while the S6 Edge had a great camera, I’m less than impressed with the Note 5.
Whether it’s down to this particular unit, the design of the Note 5 or the size but OIS doesn’t seem to be doing as good a job as it did on both of the previous devices. Instead, images occasionally come out quite shaky (which would suggest this is down to OIS, which is enabled in the camera settings). On most occasions, however, the Note 5 camera certainly impresses as you can see below.
When you do get a non-noisy image, the images themselves are excellent and Samsung has definitely bought the quality of the S6 and S6 Edge camera to the larger form factor. Overall, the camera is probably one of the best you can get on an Android smartphone and if the camera on your smartphone is important to you, the Note 5 probably won’t disappoint.
Final Thoughts – is the Note 5, a real Galaxy Note?You're reading Galaxy Note 5 Impressions (From A Galaxy User)
Will Samsung Release Bixby For Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7 And Galaxy Note 5?
The trend of ‘artificial intelligence’ or AI is currently circulating throughout the technology landscape and more so in the mobile landscape. Every upcoming flagship, irrespective of the brand name, is supposedly going to carry AI technology. The Pixel carries the Google Assistant while Sense Companion is coming on the HTC U Ultra. Huawei Mate 9 now has Amazon’s Alexa. And last but not the least, Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to launch with AI software by the name of Bixby.
So, the trend has been set for any and all upcoming flagships. But what about the already launched premium smartphones in the market. If Samsung’s upcoming flagship Galaxy S8 will get the new AI technology, don’t you think it to be fitting for the company to release Bixby for the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7 and the Note 5, which also are premium devices carrying high-end specs and still higher price label?
Well, only if wishes were turned into reality. The way things look like, any of the previously released Samsung devices won’t get Bixby. Period. However, we’ve our hopes on Galaxy S7 and S7 edge getting Bixby with the next major software upgrade (Android 8.0, maybe) and on the third-party developers over at xda to unofficially port Bixby to other Samsung devices. Until then, Bixby which will remain a Galaxy S8 exclusive feature.
Bixby for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge were Samsung’s 2023 flagship smartphones launched with Android Lollipop OS on board. Samsung took around a year to get it upgraded to Android Marshmallow. Only recently, Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge received second OS upgrade to Nougat, which is again one year post the first one. With this ends their Android software cycle, and it is highly probable (almost certain) that the upcoming Android 8.0 won’t be reaching Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will soon age out of their promised software update timeframe and hence won’t receive any major upgrades officially from Samsung. This fact alone puts Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge out of the question of receiving Bixby as an update from Samsung.
Bixby for Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
Samsung launched Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge last year with Android Marshmallow. It has been bumped up to Android 7.0 Nougat. Following Samsung’s one year cycle of upgrading the OS on its devices, we assume these flagship devices will receive the Android 8.0 sometime in March next year.
Now we’ve known Samsung for providing latest features from its newest Flagship to the previous flagship with the release of the next major Android upgrade, which in this case will be Android 8.0. And since Galaxy S7 is definitely going to get the Android 8.0 update, chances are that Samsung will release Bixby for Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge devices next year around this same time.
Bixby for Galaxy Note 5 and Note Edge
Will Galaxy Note 5 and Note Edge get Bixby AI assistant? This is absolutely a no brainer. Of course not. While Note Edge hit the market in 2014, Note 5 followed suit in August 2023.
Note Edge was the first Samsung device to feature a curvy display which gathered a lot of attention in its hey days. But with the device being over two years old now, it is wearing out and is out of contention for the Android Nougat update. With this also ends all possibilities of it getting the Bixby support.
Coming to the Note 5 which has started receiving the Nougat update. It has also completed its two Android software cycle update. As such, it won’t receive any more upgraded Android support and thus there won’t be Bixby for Galaxy Note 5 either.
Having said that, we assume third-party developers might be able to get Bixby running on a variety of Samsung devices, including Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, S7/S7 Edge, Note Edge and Note 5. Bixby could come to previous Samsung devices by means of custom MODs, ROMs with the help of root access.
And if any such thing happens, be assured that we will come to your help, writing up a step-by-step guide to help you get access to Samsung Bixby on your Galaxy S6, S7, Note 5 and Note Edge devices.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Vs Galaxy Note 10 Series: Should You Upgrade?
Eric Zeman / Android Authority
Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 20 series in August 2023 with two 5G-enabled flagships (at least in the US) instead of three models spanning 4G and 5G connectivity that made up the Galaxy Note 10 line. Of course, if you’re rocking a Note series phone from 2023, you still have a pretty decent flagship in your pocket. However, the Galaxy Note 20 phones take things up several notches and catch up to other 2023 flagships with attributes such as a high refresh rate display, more camera megapixels, an upgraded processor, and more.
We’re here to compare the specs and features of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 20 phones to help you decide if the latter are worth an upgrade over their predecessors. So without further ado, let’s get into our Samsung Galaxy Note 20 vs Galaxy Note 10 series comparison.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 vs Galaxy Note 10 series
Specs
PriceWhen it launched, the Galaxy Note 10 series started at $949 for the standard Note 10 and went up to $1,399 for the Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G. Even the non-5G Galaxy Note 10 Plus punched in above $1,000.
Now, you can get a Galaxy Note 10 model starting as low as $559.
By comparison, the Galaxy Note 20 is priced at $799 and the Note 20 Ultra costs $1,099. The price difference is a lot right now since the older series has received a permanent MSRP drop.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 vs Galaxy Note 10 series: Worth the upgrade?
Eric Zeman / Android Authority
Based purely on the specs of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, it’s a no-brainer that the new top-tier Note is better than the Galaxy Note 10 line. It’s got everything Note devotees desire, in a more robust package than ever before. The older Note series lacks a high refresh rate display and 5G (unless you get the pricier Note 10 Plus 5G), while the Ultra packs in newer camera sensors, an improved S Pen, 8K video recording, and of course all the performance upgrades that come with the new chipset(s).
Things aren’t quite as clear-cut with the regular Galaxy Note 20, which doesn’t stack up particularly well against the still-great Galaxy Note 10 Plus. In our long-term review, we concluded that the Note 10 Plus, even if you go for the non-5G model, is still a fantastic phone a year on. You can easily track down a Note 10 Plus for around $669 and aside from the processor, there’s plenty the Note 10 Plus can do that outshines the standard Note 20 for the same price.
So that was a look at the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 vs the Galaxy Note 10 series. Let us know if you’re considering upgrading from a Galaxy Note 10 series device to a Galaxy Note 20 or Note 20 Ultra by taking our quick poll below.
Speedmod Kernel Launches On Galaxy Note
Speedmod has probably been one of the most popular and most stable kernels, which was originally developed for use on one of the favorite Android phones of all time, the Samsung Galaxy S, and subsequently its successor, the Samsung Galaxy S2. Needless to say, this kernel was also popular on the variants of these 2 hot selling devices. Speedmod has been developed by XDA dev hardcore, with the core objective of having a kernel which is fast, compatible, stable and offers great battery life, all of which are aspects that were and are collectively desired in the devices that Speedmod was developed for. Hardcore has extended the compatibility of the Speedmod Kernel yesterday, to include another hot-selling favorite from the Samsung stable, the Galaxy Note. With Speedmod compatibility, the Galaxy Note is about to get a whole new performance b0ost altogether.
Core Features quoted from the developer’s page are as follows:
– Excellent battery life: Remove unecessary logging and debugging
Current features:
– CWM recovery
– init.d, TUN, CIFS, IPV6 Privacy support
– SCHED_MC multi-core aware scheduler
– Disabled various kernel debugging, statistics and tracing options
Hardcore has been kind enough to provide us with two versions of the kernel; 1) Flashable through Odin & 2) Flashable through ClockworkMod recovery or CWM. Download links provided below.
ODIN version- Speedmod Kernel
CWM version- Speedmod Kernel
Disclaimer: The steps and methods included in this guide are considered risky. Please do not attempt to try this unless you know exactly what you are doing, as it may render your device unusable, and your pocket lighter by the amount it takes to replace it. You have been forewarned!!!
Pre-installation Requirements
For CWM version

Battery fully charged
For ODIN version
Rooted Galaxy Note
Battery fully charged
All the proper drivers installed. You can get them HERE.
Odin v1.85
Irrespective of which version you use, kernel flashing is a risky process, and it is important to have a restore point to fall back on, just in case things get messed up. I recommend you perform a full nandroid backup in CWM before you proceed further.
Installation Guide
Odin Version
Switch off your phone and reboot into Download Mode ( Power it back on while holding Volume down, Home button & Power key together)
If you also have Kies on your PC, make sure it is not running. Kies and Odin do not get along very well together.
Connect the phone to PC via USB cable
Launch Odin chúng tôi on your PC. You should see one com port tab in Odin colored yellow, with a number below it. This means that Odin has recognized your device and is able to communicate with it. It should look like the screenshot below
ClockworkMod Version
Download the “ chúng tôi ” file from the link provided above.
Connect your phone to PC via USB cable, and transfer the downloaded zip file to the root of the internal sd card on your phone
Power off the phone and reboot into recovery ( Volume Up + Home + Power)
Once CWM has finished flashing the Speedmod kernel, go back to the main menu and select Reboot System.
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro Vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Comparison
Our Verdict
With a price some £120 lower than the Galaxy Note 4, dual-SIM capability and the faster hardware of the pair, Xiaomi’s Mi Note Pro is a seriously impressive proposition. But Samsung has plenty to fight back with, including what we think will be the better screen, longer battery life and special features such as an S Pen, a fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor and UV sensor. We can’t wait to get the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro into our lab and take a proper look.
Last week Xiaomi unveiled its Mi Note Pro, a much cheaper rival to the Note 4 that it says is the most powerful phone in the world. We take a look at the specs in our Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison. Also see our full Samsung Galaxy Note 4 review.
Note that we have not yet tested the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro and are merely comparing only the specs; your eventual purchasing decision should also take into account how the phones cope with everyday life. Also see: Best smartphones 2023 and Best Android phones 2023.
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: UK price and availabilitySamsung’s Galaxy Note 4 is already available in the UK on a contract or SIM-free. At the time of writing the Note 4 cost £519 SIM-free at Amazon.
Xiaomi’s Mi Note Pro is not yet on sale in the UK, but it’s expected at the end of March with a retail value of 3,299 yuan. A straight conversion is £353, making it some £160 cheaper than the Note 4, although it’ll probably cost a little more over here. Oppomart is already listing the Mi Note Pro for $599, which equates to £399 (still £120 cheaper than the Note 4).
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Display, design and buildBoth the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are what we might consider phablets (also see Best phablets 2023) with 5.7in screens. Each adorns a Quad HD (2560×1440) resolution, resulting in a pixel density of 515ppi. The choice of panel tech differs, however, with Samsung using a Super AMOLED screen and Xiaomi opting for Sharp/JDI’s IPS LCD tech. We reckon this gives Samsung the slight edge, but both are brilliant screens.
The phones are built around sturdy metal frames. Xiaomi fits its Mi Note Pro with a 2.5D glass front and 3D glass rear giving it a premium feel. Samsung matches its front but uses a faux leather rear that may add some grip. The Samsung’s back cover is also removable, letting you access the battery compartment and swap in a spare.
The Xiaomi Mi Note Pro is significantly thinner than the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and a little lighter too. It measures 77.6×6.95×155.1mm and weighs 161g against the Note 4’s 153.5×8.5×78.6mm and 176g.
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Processor, memory and storageXiaomi takes the lead in the hardware department, and although we’ve yet to run our benchmarks on the Mi Note Pro we can be pretty sure its Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip will beat the Note 4’s 805 hands-down. Clocked at 2GHz, this 64-bit octa-core processor is paired with Adreno 430 graphics and 4GB of RAM. By comparison the Note 4 packs a 2.7GHz quad-core 32-bit chip with Adreno 420 graphics and 3GB of RAM.
You might not notice the extra complement of RAM in general use, but Adreno 430 graphics are said to be 30 percent faster than the 420, and the 64-bit support of the Xiaomi’s 810 will allow it to support future 64-bit apps.
We have had the opportunity to test the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and found it one of the fastest phones we’ve ever reviewed (also see: What’s the fastest smartphone 2023). In Geekbench 3 it managed 3272 points, in SunSpider it recorded 1367ms, and in GFXBench we saw 27fps in T-Rex and 11fps in Manhattan. Expect even more from the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro.
In terms of storage the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro has 64GB as standard (the Note 4 has 32GB), but it lacks the Samsung’s microSD support, which lets you add up to 128GB.
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Connectivity and extrasThe Samsung Galaxy Note 4 stands out for its S Pen (stylus) support and features such as a fingerprint scanner, UV sensor and heart rate monitor, Xiaomi has an ace up its sleeve with dual-SIM support, which is becoming increasingly popular (also see: Best dual-SIM smartphones 2023). The Mi Note Pro accepts a nano- and a Micro-SIM, and both support 4G connectivity.
The Note 4 also supports 4G, but has only a single SIM option. It’s also of the Cat 6 (300Mb/s) variety, compared to the Mi Note Pro’s Cat 9 (450Mb/s). The Note 4 can, however, pair its 4G connection with Wi-Fi to provide super-fast download speeds.
According to GSMArena you’ll find Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-band ac Wi-Fi in the Mi Note Pro, but other connectivity specs are to be confirmed. Meanwhile, with the Note 4 you will find an IR blaster, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC, the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi with 2×2 MIMO, plus MHL 3.0.
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: CamerasIt’s impossible to say which is the better camera without testing them, although on paper the Samsung appears to have the better rear camera, while the Xiaomi beats it for selfies at the front. Also see: Best selfie smartphones 2023.
Samsung fits a 16Mp camera at the back, while Xiaomi specifies 13Mp. Both feature OIS, but only the Samsung can shoot 4K video (the Mi Note Pro maxes out at 1080p full-HD).
At the front the Note 4 has a 3.7Mp camera with a wide selfie mode, while the Mi Note Pro has a 4Mp camera with large 2-micron pixels.
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: SoftwareOut of the box the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 runs Android 4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz, but it will be updated to the latest version, Android 5.0 Lollipop. The Xiaomi Mi Note Pro runs Xiaomi’s MIU 6 software, which is based on Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
Samsung offers more in terms of extra software features, but this isn’t necessarily a good thing for all users. We do like the ability to simultaneously view two apps onscreen and the S Note app when used with the improved, however.
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4: AudioSamsung boasts multi-directional voice recording for its Galaxy Note 4 with three mics, but for playback it’s the Xiaomi that takes the lead. It supports 24-bit/192KHz lossless playback of files including APE, FLAC, DSD and WAV. The Note 4 can handle MP3, AAC/AAC?/eAAC?, WMA, AMR-NB/WB, Vorbis and FLAC audio.
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: Battery lifeBattery life is impossible to guess from the specs alone, but we reckon this one will swing Samsung’s way. Not only does it have less powerful hardware and more energy-efficient screen tech, its battery is higher-capacity (3220mAh against the Xiaomi’s 3000mAh) and removable. Also see: Best power banks 2023.
Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comparison: VerdictWith a price some £120 lower than the Galaxy Note 4, dual-SIM capability and the faster hardware of the pair, Xiaomi’s Mi Note Pro is a seriously impressive proposition. But Samsung has plenty to fight back with, including what we think will be the better screen, longer battery life and special features such as an S Pen, a fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor and UV sensor. We can’t wait to get the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro into our lab and take a proper look.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Vs Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Comparison Review
Display And Processor
Speaking of the processors on these tablets, the Note 8 beats the Tab 3 8.0 hands down. This, because the Note 8 carries with it a 1.6GHz quad core CPU, which when compared to the Tab 3 8.0’s dual core 1.5 GHz, proves to be far more powerful. Another factor which should play an important role, apart from the processor, in the performance of the devices is RAM. The Note 8 again comes victorious with 2GB of RAM. The Tab 3 8.0, on the other hand, features .5GB less RAM, i.e., 1.5GB. This means that multitasking and hardware intensive applications will run smoother on the Note 8 as compared to the Tab 3 8.0
Camera And MemoryThe imaging department of a tablet is often overlooked, because cameras on tablets are usually found to be sub-standard. The Note 8 and the Tab 3 8.0 carry the same set of cameras, i.e., a 5MP rear shooter and a 1.3MP front. So this means cameras are another category where there can’t be one winner.
On the memory front, the devices again share the same variants, those being 16/32GB. However, it is not clear yet if both the versions will indeed be available in India.
Both devices come with a microSD card slot which can accept cards up to 64GB in size, so storage shouldn’t be a problem in most cases.
Battery And FeaturesThe battery on a tablet is one of the most important hardware components on the device. The device is of no use if a greatly powerful processor is paired with a paltry battery. Thankfully, both these devices seem to take this seriously; the Note 8 features a beefy 4600mAh unit, which can promise you a good day’s usage. On the other hand, the Tab 3 8.0 features a slightly less-powered 4450mAh unit, which should probably manage the same amount of run-time thanks to the less power-hungry processor. The quad core on the Note 8 is definitely going to use up battery faster than the dual core processor on the Tab 3 8.0. An additional feature present in note 8 is its Stylus, which you wont be getting with Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
Key SpecsModel Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Samsung Galaxy Note 8
Display 8 inch 1280x800p 8 inch 1280x800p
Processor 1.2 GHz dual core 1.6 GHz quad core
RAM, ROM 1.5GB RAM, 16/32GB ROM expandable up to 64GB 2GB RAM, 16/32GB ROM expandable up to 64GB

Battery 4450mAh 4600mAh
Price 21,945-25,725 INR 28,500 INR
ConclusionIf you’re not into gaming or HD multimedia, the Tab 3 8.0 will definitely be the better choice for you. Why we say this? Firstly, because the device is way cheaper. Secondly, the Note 8 has a very powerful quad core processor you might not need most of the time. Thirdly, the dual core processor on the Tab 3 8.0 is bound to be better efficient at power usage, so you can expect to have a battery backup better than what you’d have on the Note 8.
On the other hand, if you’re into gaming or multimedia or any other hardware intensive stuff, the Note 8 is the one for you.
