2015-08-21
deep breath everybody AJ here you go Jack even you guys doing it makes me feel better what's up guys Lew here back with another video and today we're going to be checking out the newly released samsung galaxy note 5 the latest incarnation of the note is that is that a word incarnation that right jack the latest incarnation my phone just went off good the new note obviously a lot of changes here from the previous version just like the s6 we now have glass and aluminum and prettiness in general as well as improved specs as you would expect specs that you would expect so let's go ahead jump inside the box and see what this baby is all about this is the 32 gigabyte model in the black sapphire color it's all wrapped up and protected as you can tell I'm gonna put that to the side for a moment Quick Start Guide a sim tool pretty self-explanatory headphones these headphones appear to be an in-ear style with adjustable tips a microUSB cable of course for recharging the device and you're going to have the fast adaptive charging and then lastly because this is a note we have this little tool for swapping out the tips of the s-pen if you wear down that little nub you've got some extra nubs little gentle curve around the edge now I think the curve on the back actually makes more sense than the curve on the front because well that's sort of the way the human hand works a little bit slippery of course it has a glass back so you could expect that you could put a skin on here from my good friends at D brand skins you know about them if you don't check them out I'll drop a link in the description in the back here you have the 16 megapixel camera one of the best in the business as you know you've probably seen samples your flashes in this location here and the forward facing camera is a 5 megapixel shooter on the front of the device we have their new fingerprint scanner sensor sensor or scanner your choice fingerprint scanner sensor course capacitive buttons as well you back button and your menu button over on this side here aluminum around the entire frame I really want to peel this sticker off on the back let me do that there how much better is that so this black sapphire in certain light it almost looks blue and then you flip it a little more and it looks black so it's got a color-changing characteristic to it but it does come in other colors as well you can get it in white silver and a new shimmery gold type look those of you out there that are all about the bling so let's go ahead and boot up the device why not this screen that's really one of the major things to consider it's what you look at we have a giant 5.7 inch display you have qHD resolution Super AMOLED so you know what that does for your screen it essentially gives you the deepest blacks in the business let's set it up tap and go I'm not going to tap and go right now but tap and go pretty cool you know what let's try the fingerprint sensor real quick day so there success it has a hundred percent of my fingerprint and now you need a backup password in case you lose your finger no smirk so we are now in the operating system here and you can start to appreciate that display we have an experience very similar to the s6 we're adding of course the s-pen in this situation there's some new software features as well in the camera something I was excited for the live broadcast mode which I'm going to be messing around with pretty soon this is a one-click live broadcast to your YouTube channel the idea of quickly broadcasting something live breaking news that's kind of interesting so I'm going to be messing around with that feature specifically also the video collage mode is new you could do for separate clips which is pretty cool I'll show you that real quick hit the button now that's going to record for three seconds that frame okay cool focus over here on AJ and we're going to do three sex you know it's a video right yeah you could be more exciting though I'll have to spin this baby around like that and now you get my face in the video collage and then for the last frame why don't we zoom in on this wonderful monitor right here and do three seconds of that you end up with this cool little collage of all four video frames the cool thing here is that you can actually mix the audio so you can either choose the video sound partially completely or not at all and you can insert background music we also have a couple new features for the s-pen as well customized air command put your favorite shortcuts here in this location there's a new type of screen capture I'll do a demo of that really quickly and you know something typing with this pen there's something satisfying about it the precision I mean your finger just can't really do that things really do change with the pen and you heard it here first I'm going to commit to the pen for a little bit and see if it can become a part of my daily phone lifestyle is this obsessive-compulsive for me to be so satisfied by this I hope not rather than a standard screen capture you can see that it snaps the original screen cap but then you have options so this page happens to be scrollable so I can click on scroll capture and then booyah it moves down the page and continues to capture what I'm looking at another new feature extract the pen without unlocking the phone and I can write a memo immediately right here now let's go ahead and finish off with the physical device we have our microUSB on the bottom the speakers in that location as well your headphone jack is there to the s-pen lives in this corner you can see the antenna cutouts around the outside of the aluminum frame volume buttons are on the left hand side of the device power switch is sort of right where your thumb in your prominent hand will live then on the top you have SIM card slot you'll need to use that tool of course and on the front of the device you have your sensors in this location the earpiece the forward facing camera which I mentioned before so there you have it in unboxing an overview of the new note 5 I think the big thing here for me the big question is going to be whether I can make the s-pen a part of my daily routine it's time for a new daily driver and let's find out how I feel about that thanks very much for watching leave a thumbs up down below if you enjoyed this content if you want to find out more about pricing and availability on this device I'll drop links down in the description and I will catch you very shortly on the next episode thanks very much later guys the grille was big for
