pay £100 extra for one side edge over normal note 4? C'mon people!!!!

The Note 4 is metal apart from the back which is plastic.
The reason for that, I'm sure most of you will know, is to allow you to fit an 128GB microSD card or swap out the battery....killer features that most previous Note owners (judging by reactions on forums) couldn't do without.

In comparison the storage on the Note 5 is limited without paying a hefty premium and when the battery depletes/degrades...no swap out.

The Note 4 is plenty fast enough and is not gimped like the Note 5.

Note 5 has more powerful faster processor and 1GB extra Ram,sharper screen,better camera,lighter,much less gimmicky version of touchwiz and ofcourse much nicer design and feels alot more premium.it really feels amazing in hand.looks stunning in gold.
it's true lack of SD card and removable battery is disappoiting,but then what can you do.it is what it is.they give you 100GB free Microsoft cloud and battery can actually be replaced by Samsung if it ever needs to be replaced due to degrading.
You can't simply choose Note 4 over 5 only because it has removabke battery and SD reader.as a whole product and side by sude,Note 5 eats Note 4 alive performance,speed and design wise.it's the flagship model versus last year's model.

As you wish. There are those amongst us, though, who feel that you've been had!

I've owned Note 4 and now upgraded to Note 5 and I could immediately feel the benefits of faster,more powerful processor,also the screen is definitely superior,so is the camera.
you are simply under estimating the hardware improvements.
battery can be replaced by samsung (or other specialist shops) in UNLIKELY case of degrading,after all these phones will become obsolete after 2 years and you will have to upgrade anyway.
the feel and design of the Note 5 also destroys Note 4...
I won't g back to 4 even if they pay me.it was awesome last year.not anymore.
Note 5 is the new king whether you like to admit or not.

The 'improvements' you mention are barely perceptible in reality. The lack of a card slot is a major drawback, though - for a great many people. And the inability to replace a failed battery is the difference between sorting the problem out for £12, and sorting it out for at least £100 - quite apart from the convenience of being able to slip a small battery into a pocket for an extra day's usage in an emergency.

Samsung assumed that people would just make the pointless 'upgrade' without thinking it through and realising that actually it's a downgrade. They were wrong. :wink:

lol downgrade? yeah if all you understand from tech an a smart phone is availabilty of an SD card to load with downloaded videos and a backup battery ti rum phone longer..
so what about much faster,more advanced processor of Note 5 that easily outperforms Note 4? don't care? :laughing:
and how about the extra 1GB Ram that makes android run faster an allows much better multi tasking? no? :smile:
and what about sharper,nicer improved screen? still can't see the difference?
and what about improved camera,superb material that looks and feels 10x better?
you don't see these? and you don't care,since all that matters is the replaceable battery (lmao) and sd card slot!
:smile::D

Hardly - I've got another Note 4 on order as I write this. The wife's so impressed with mine that she wants one too. She does not, however, want the crippled Note 5 (which could still be ordered in if we wanted one) because in reality it's a downgrade.

thats a stupid idea..lol..Samsung didn't released Note 5 in Europe because their European marketing research revealed there is little demand for the stylus,instead people are more attracted to media consumption and aesthetics..hence why they released only the S6 Edge Plus.and of course they charge more for curved corners.and people who want bigger samsung phablet have no choice.
you friend are hurt somewhere down there,cause you don't have one and have to use the outdated model.

things that you say are still irrelevant to whether it should be discussed here or not.
so you are saying because the phone cannot be bought in carphone warehouse or other retail stores,then it shouldn't be mentioned here?

also regarding incompatibility with certain UK frequencies..there are few models and 920C is fully compatible with all uk networks.
and about warranty many of the vendors provide their own warranty.
not as convinient as 24 months European samsung warranty but it is there.

Hardly irrelevant! it's not available to just to go buy in Carphone Warehouse or O2, Three etc or on a contract is it? and even if you do buy a import some dont support all the 4G frequencies of certain networks.

plus the warranty mindfield should it break?

So yes you can buy them but why you would with all the hassle is beyond me.

The comment's entirely relevant. Note 5 wasn't released in the UK because Samsung realised that releasing a downgraded phone into a pretty educated market such as the UK and pretending it's an upgrade might damage the brand. Note 5 is a complete irrelevance in the UK. It's inferior to Note 4 - what idiot would want to buy one?

Hold on here let's face facts this is hot UK deals! and there's posts here about the Note 5? a phone Samsung didn't even feel worthy of releasing in the UK or Europe? says alot!

No ones saying Note 5 is a bad product, Samsung sacrificed functionality for looks, some people like it, some people don't, simple as that really.

I've just bought a Note Edge from elsewhere instead of going for the Note 5 because it gives me the functionality i require which the Note 5 doesn't have.

well sooner or later all phones will be without SD card...it's just a matter of time..started with Apple...then google and samsung followed..others will as well..not saying I defend lack of it..I'd personally want SD card myself..but this is where mobile phone market is heading...cloud.

Never understood the sd card slot fanboys. When I had my note 4 with 64gb card my device wasnt a 96gb phone. It was still a 32gb phone with the ability to store 64gb of music or pics. I needed a phone that can store over 32gb of apps and data within apps.

Problem with all these sd card slot phones are that they max out at 32gb or even worse 16gb. The SD card slot was almost useless to me. Only thing I used it for was a few mp3s and storing the photos I took.

£25 more and you can buy imported Note 5.
I payed £405 for mine using ebays %20 offer.
Love it.would never go back to plastic Note 4 or Note Edge.much faster too.

How is this a good deal. For this money, you could get a note 5 or nexus 6p. The top two android phones available. If you need expendable storage and battery, the lg g4 for under £300 is a much better option.

if all consumers were like you then we'd all be over a barrel when it comes to choice. with the note 5 not selling so well they will have to reconsider what they are doing. the price of the note 5 is a bit excessive and is it even due in the uk yet?

we all know its a £100 more than the normal note 4 but the edge is just soooo sexy.

Lol what a childish logic...so the old,last years model beats this years top of the range succesor model because it had sd and removable battery!lmao and faster cpu,more ram,better screen,better camera,better os,better pen just doesn't count..or maybe it's just because you don't have one..who knows.
and what does that actual available size vs advertised size of memories have to do with it anyways.this has been the case since the early days if floppy disks,or maybe you just figured it out now in 2015?

Showing as £441.94 now....

Yes - you can. Note 4 beats the 5 hands down. The vendor need to stop the nonsense of

- no sd card or removable battery
- advertising 64gb and 128gb models - which are never actually available.

with the sandisk 200gb card - you could have 328gb or 456gb of disk (hello asus zenfone 2/256gb - are you real?)

I bought the Samsung Galaxy S6 topaz 32gb for £329.99 and that was two months ago!
Still a good deal if you prefer old tech...

Which will be fine, of course (though the difference between 4 and 5 is marginal - having tried both) until the battery dies and you can't replace it. Sorry - I'm yet another one that would rather buy another Note 4 (I just have, for the wife) than the degraded Note 5.

....in a fleeting few months the Note 5 will be surpassed in performance like the Note 4 was.

Can I carry my 90Gb of music with me on the Note 5?
Say I'm not in reach of a power outlet when I'm travelling, what do I do with the Note 5 when it dies? I have 4 batteries for the Note 4?

I take 4 x 128GB microsd cards with me when travelling/camping; with my files and many Blu-ray ripped movies on them for entertainment. UK wide 4G is sparse when on the move and Cloud storage is not an option.

The Note 4 runs every app and game exceedingly well and is a bit special with its excellent adaptation which lends itself to flexibility when travelling and offers a modicum of independence from being a slave to the power outlet.

The Note 5 is indeed a step up over the year old Note 4 but, it does not run anything that the Note 4 can't run well.

The Note 5 for me is just not practical and never could be.

Hot deal by the way OP.

that's fine,you are free to choose older tech,no one is forcing you or trying to convince you otherwise.
meanwhile me and many others will enjoy our flagship top of the line,gorgeous Note 5.:wink:

Yes you can. It's the reason I and many others would not consider buying an Note 5.

I sold my mint Note 4 6 months ago for £280. Buy used for better prices. A note 4 new should now indeed be around £300 especially as you can buy new note 5s for around £400

Would have bought this phone for this price a year ago but not now. I like how the edge is a separate screen unlike the S6 edge\edge plus but everything else is just old. Design, extra large size and build quality. Wish they would bring out an edge 2 in metal\glass. Couldnt give a monkeys about sd card slot or removable battery. Get the look and build feel quality right first.

​300 for a note 4? would sir be kind enough to share a link?

I think ​Arianna Grande agree with you in her latest vid,on a serious note I nearly bought a 64g note 5(it's nice)until I found a 4 at 300£ new and a samsung pro 12.2 at 290£,total of 590 compared with 549 for a note 5,thanks samsung

Note 5 has more powerful faster processor and 1GB extra Ram,sharper screen,better camera,lighter,much less gimmicky version of touchwiz and ofcourse much nicer design and feels alot more premium.it really feels amazing in hand.looks stunning in gold.

Fantastic price! Absolute bargain! I paid £515 2 months ago. My sister is looking for a deal on this so she will be very pleased!

Good price for the note edge, but I would either. get a note 4 for less or a s6 plus edge for quite a bit more
