The Galaxy Note 5 design language is familiar as ever and it takes it from its Galaxy predecessors. It manages to be a bit larger than its replacement and much sleeker.

The S-pen has been updated to look much better. The back cover is no longer removable which means no addition of extra memory space. The glass design makes it very pleasing aesthetically and in handling. 

The display is a 2560x1440 at 518PPI which makes a lot of sense for a large display like this one. There is so little free space on the side which enables it to really shine and allow you to enjoy a much more optimized screen real estate. 

Other cool features on the Note 5 include:

• Finger Print Scanner
• 3000mAH battery
• Wireless fast charging
• 16MP Camera

This is no doubt the best and fastest reiteration of the Note series and you are going to love the speed, look, and quality that it delivers.

However, above all, the Z1's most striking and outstanding feature is its professional DSLR-level camera which packs a whooping 20.7MP sensor. It's almost as if you were carrying a camera that also happens to make calls. Other outstanding hardware include its 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 chipset found on most high-end smartphones. It also packs a 2GB RAM space which enables it to perform pretty decently.

At first glance, you will notice the Z1 does not have any buttons. The back is so shiny you could almost mistake it for a display. The phone is so thin it feels like it might just slide out of....... Read More
