Nexus 6P VS Note 5

[Sydman]

I blame you @Sydman . I was minding my own business and something happened.

Ill say this, @Sydman you are right touchwiz look much better especially when using another launcher, ie Im using google now.

I am a bad influence, that is for sure. I have to say, I have no negative things to say about Touchwiz. The only issue I had with this phone was the bloat that At&t and Samsung put on there. I disabled all of that with the Package Disabler Pro, and that is no longer an issue.

I really love this phone. I am using Nova Launcher and I can't even really tell this is a Samsung phone. I put a material theme on it from the store and put my custom icon pack on. Very happy with the device.

Welcome to Note 5 world, pc747. Have fun with it. There will be some things that will spoil you with this device. One of my favorite features is scroll capture... It's so nice doing a screen shot and getting the whole thing in one shot.

Scroll capture is such an amazing feature.

The Note 5 would have been the device I went with if I hadn't committed to getting another Nexus. It's definitely a great device, and I nearly picked it up a couple times.

Actually, I would've entertained the idea of getting another device this time around. There really are many great news things happening with everything that's come out this year. But I've gotten addicted to my s-pen.

I was torn to be honest. I think at the end of the day it came down to reviews. Yeah Samsung is slow to update but I was floored how the note 5 beat the nexus 6p in every category including battery being on lollipop. So I'm thinking once this get on marshmallow it's a rap. The other thing was that since I was not rooted on the nexus 6 I'm OK with a locked down phone. I'm not selling my nexus 6 as I want a phone that is unlocked to remain in my drawer in case I ever need it.

I have not even tried that yet. Maybe I should give it a shot.

(Features like that) Changes the conversation on which is better between a nexus and note 5.

I am amazed how toned down touchwiz is. I mean I really didn't want to believe it. After installing all my apps I have the same amount of space I have left as I did my nexus 6. I also watched videos about Samsung keeping the features light and allowing people to add more from the Samsung store.

I still may end up trading up (64 gb model) but we will see.

I bought mine on launch day and have not done anything to try to conserve space. Currently using approximately 29gb. That's with 149 downloaded apps. I think I should do some cleaning up.
