Samsung's flagship Galaxy Note 5 phablet is currently on sale for a limited time for $538.95. The 32 GB unlocked phablet can be updated to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box and beats AT&T's current $739.99 price.
When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 5 last August, it received high marks for its new premium glass and metal design and impressive specs like 4 GB of RAM and stunning quad-HD display, as well as its hallmark feature, its advanced S Pen stylus.
While most smartphone makers were ditching the stylus after the iPhone was released in 2007, Samsung decided to bring it back in 2011 with its take on a smartphone large enough to venture into small tablet territory, the first-generation Galaxy Note. Rather than just create a smartphone with a large display, Samsung also made the included S Pen stylus an integral part of the Note experience by coupling it with software.
Each Galaxy Note release has included major enhancements to its S Pen, and one of its latest abilities is to write on the display without having to wake the device up. Samsung's Air-Command menu, which provides shortcuts to S Pen features, now allows users to add their own shortcuts to apps, making it even quicker to open an app with the S Pen.
If you've ever considered making the move to an S Pen-equipped Galaxy Note phablet, a new deal will score you the 32 GB unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 5 for $538.95, which is a huge savings over AT&T's current $739.99 for the same device.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 ships with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop but can be updated to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box, and it packs in a 5.7-inch 2560 by 1440 quad-HD display that has a pixel density of 518 pixels per inch (ppi). The phablet is powered by a Samsung Exynos 7420 octa-core processor and 4 GB of RAM, and it includes 32 GB of internal storage.
In terms of the Note 5's camera capabilities, it features a 16 megapixel rear camera with OIS (optical image stabilization), autofocus, LED flash and 5 megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video conferencing. The smartphone includes a 3,000 mAh battery that will provide up to 22 hours of talk time. Additionally, the phone has wireless charging capabilities built-in for use with Qi-compatible chargers.
