That sucks man! I Wonder why Samsung screws us with lack of options...especially when the phones are made in India now.
[Galaxy Note5 General] r_c111:
Don't think anyone has an idea about whats the situation is, here in Mumbai.

If anyone has any update on the status for mumbai please do share.

In the mean time got my vr yesterday. Have been using for a little while since yesterday. It's good.
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Just spoke to a Samsung cafe in Mumbai. They confirmed the stocks will be coming by evening today.
[Galaxy Note5 General] r_c111:
Really good news. Actually i have booked mine from Reliance Digital & those guys have no idea about anything. I had called them telling about the current situation. They said generally the stocks arrive at the store on Fridays, so mostly it will come tomorrow if its getting delivered to Samsung Stores. So impatient, especially looking at people buying the 64 now. ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Not in India but this is common issue. I have bought 32 gb from uae just bcoz of same, it's very odd for me to use golden mobile lol
[Galaxy Note5 General] r_c111:
They are basically forcing us to use gold color if we want to get the 64gb variant.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
May be sammy have manufactured too many gold body but no one buying 32gb gold so forcing with 64GB lol!
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
64gb is now available in stores in pune....
[Galaxy Note5 General] lycan_codex:
How does the gold color look...is it exactly the same as S6? It was too flashy and blingy for me when using under direct light..i couldn't stand using it and sold it off in two weeks.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pakure:
I think we have a Lot better options than what Europe and US has...lol
[Galaxy Note5 General] r_c111:
I agree with that. The VR experience is good & considering Redmi note has 720p screen. I m all excited to test on the 2k screen.

NO calls yet from Reliance Digital.
[Galaxy Note5 General] max.android:
its not how it looks(gold).. but what's underneath(64gb).. that defines it :D

Finally got my device. No tint whatsoever . The device build quality is absolutely stunning. Wondering whether Samsung outsourced the design lol. Screen difference between note 4 and note 5 is visible right away

That's cool actually
[Galaxy Note5 General] r_c111:
Wow thats good news. And nice on their part to gift u with a voucher.

I have a question for those who redeemed the wireless charger code. Is it possible to use the code for something else other than the wireless charger ?

And congratulations to bala. Enjoy

Yup, dead pixel is always black.though very small, & i could not see for 2 days, but now everytime i use the phone, my eyes goes on that 2 dead pixel..!
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:

[Galaxy Note5 General] :

[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
gold 64 gb. i would have preferred silver if it was available. anyway i like this gold color more n more. the device looks asum when the screen is off in gold.

Hi All,

I have also picked 32GB gold, Did not have choice of 64Gb in hyderabad. I have few questions if Bala or someone senior can answer,

1) In coming and out going calls are not showing bigger images.

2) Exchange Email client is not as good as previous ones.

It would be great if someone can help and respond.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:

Returned my N5 to croma for dead pixel issue. As per them, if samsung approves the dead pixel, i will receive a new unit of N5.

till then, back to N4
[Galaxy Note5 General] amsnair:
As per Samsung policy you need to have atleast 5 dead pixels to get the replacement. ..my friend tried in Singapore and they returned it without replacement as there is only 3 dead pixels...

[Galaxy Note5 General] Dr.Gonzo105:
Guys please check paytm before buying.

They are selling white 64gb note 5 for 52k after paytm Cashback. Which is an amazing deal.

And 32 gb for around 48 or 49k after paytm Cashback.

I feel a little bad now for not waiting for a bit, payed 54k for the phone. :p

I don't have money left with me to even buy a case for this phone ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dr.Gonzo105:
Amazing deal it is
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Got the 64GB Gold at a Samsung store here in Mumbai. The guy who tests the phone after opening the box found the touch panel not working with the S pen in the middle of the screen. Getting a replacement at the store as I write this now.

Guys pls check the screen for dead pixels using *#0*# and also if the S pen works correctly by trying to draw a straight line in the test code and also action memo app. The store have agreed to give me a new unit since the defect was caught in the store itself.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jaiiscool:
Recd my 64gb from estore. But am in bangalore and phone recd in mumbai. Wont be able to open the box till 30 sept. Damn work trip!

Anyone who got the 64GB physically from a store today or yesterday were told that the free wireless charger is not applicable? The samsung store from where i got mine earlier today said the free wireless charger is only for preorders... i have installed the MSR app and hope the redemption code comes to me in the next 2 two days...
[Galaxy Note5 General] max.android:
the store guy said ..wireless charger offer is valid till 30th sept..told me to check myrewards app after 3 days for the voucher

Looks like it's easy to get the OP2 than the note 5 64gb for me..[emoji28]
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
The samsungstore guy told me only preorder folks will get it. Let's see in a few days ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] pakure:
According to Samsung, all pre orders AND all phones bought and activated by 30th September would be eligible for the 'offers'
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Thanks mate. Is there any official statement that says this? Not tryin to sound doubtful about you, but I also read the same on Amazon when I had placed an order on sept 20. Will keep my fingers crossed though.

Btw, the store guy did confirm the free wireless charger is the slow one. :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] pakure:
Go to Samsung estore and read the terms and conditions for the offer

It's highlighted by Samsung.. Not by me[emoji14]
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Thanks that clears it up :)

Thank u bro. Got my 64 GB Gold. All thanks to u. Other wise the reliance guy was telling me to wait for 2-3 weeks. Insane.

I had a note 4 last year & when i held this device its so so different & feels much strong & confident to hold. Although taking out of pocket felt bit slippery, but as i don't like cases won't be putting anything. Will be going for Syska insurance tomorrow. Rest of impressions later will enjoy my device now. Thanks to twisted_mind again.

Glad to be of any help bro :)

The Samsung store was hammering me endlessly to buy the insurance too. Stood my ground and stuck to NO. A good case like spigen ultra hybrid or ringke fusion should be enough IMO
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
i hated gold blindly in the first place when i heard there wont be black 64 gb available. but after seeing the review videos i was somewhat convinced. Seeing the device in hand is almost different story altogether, its not the shiny yellowish gold, its like a silverish gold which looks beautiful

[Galaxy Note5 General] r_c111:
Thank you everyone. BTW Note 5 64GB is available on amazon now. So any one who wants to order do it now. Well i m also feeling the same thing now. Cuz first they don't cover in case of pick pocketing, for damage only if the damage leads your phone useless. If anything happens to the screen we acne get the screen replacement option. Only thing left is liquid spill or water damage, will think about it if its really worth 2400/- RS.

Thanks once again.

Waiting eagerly to get 64GB black or silver Note 5. My dealer, who is not authorised dealer, is telling to wait for ten days. Its a killer wait. If I buy it from our dealer and not from the Samsung Café or store, will I be able to register it with Samsung ?.
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Ofcourse... and plus when buying from a samsung cafe, you should get a nice discount too like many folks here including myself. Got mine for 56544/- without even asking for it.

I currently have This cover from Spigen, the cover is great in holding & in looks, but it does not have covers over button & volume rockers. so now i bought this From Diztronic from Amazon, it shipped within 20 mins from the time i placed the order..!! will get it on Monday..
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
Try to buy the spigen case once its available.. awesome case it is.. feel too safe with that case.. its does not scratch the back panel of note 5
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:
What do you mean by scratch the back panel? is this something reported like the scratches on aluminium edges of note 4?
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
Yes its glossy material right ? some guys reported "it can be scratched by clear view case if u r not applied scratch guard on the back side".. if you are going to use hard case, then apply scratch guard on the back side before u use it...

Edit: i didnt talk abt aluminium edges
[Galaxy Note5 General] max.android:
using ringke clear case with scratch guard on front and back. .which came with the case..looks awesome ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Waiting for my ringke to arrive any minute. Does the Spen removal/insertion happen properly with this case? Saw one YT review which mentioned the ringke fusion is a little with the Spen removal as it's recessed more compared to spigen ultra hybrid.
[Galaxy Note5 General] max.android:
yes the hole provided for s-pen is comparatively narrower in this case...than in the other cases that I have...but the tip of my fingers easily goes inside the hole of the case on the s-pen, to click the button...so its not a problem for me atleast :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Thanks bro. I'll see how the wife goes with this minor glitch and hopefully the spigen ultra hybrid comes back instock on Amazon

Btw, does anyone know Samsung cafes actually do buybacks of non-Samsung phones too? Saw one customer trading their htc today. Pretty cool I say. The buy back I got for the note 3 is pretty much in line with 3rd party stores which is really nice on Samsung's part. They seem to be really trying hard to capture as many customers as possible.
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
mint color Spigen ultra hybrid case available in ebay and amazon..
[Galaxy Note5 General] jaiiscool:
How much did u get for your note 3 and how old was it?
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Got 13k for the note 3. Got it during the launch week two years ago. Pretty nice considering my regular 3rd party dealer would have given me a lower buyback price for it.
